For those that applied for the Diversity Visa 2013 programme

Those that applied for the Diversity Visa 2013 programme and have checked their entries status through the Entrant Status on the E-DV website on May 1 2012.
How ever if you check yours and your entry has not been selected. Please note that more entries may be selected on October 1, 2012, so we encourage you to keep your confirmation information to check again at that time to see if you have been selected.

Interview for the DV-2013 programme will commence as from October 2012, so the selected applicants will be informed promptly of their place on the list through the E-DV website’s Entrant Status Check and no correspondence will be sent to successful applicants. Selectees that provide the information requested in the notification instructions will be informed of their interview appointment four to six weeks before the scheduled interview with the U.S. consular officers at overseas posts through the E-DV website’s Entrant Status Check.

The U.S. Department of State, Office of Visa Services, has advised the public to be cautious about the fraudulent e-mails and letters sent to Diversity Immigrant Visa programme applicants. These scammers are posing as the U.S. government in order to extract money from DV applicants. So therefore the Embassy officials said the Department of State does not have any authorise agent for visa lottery programme.
They warned those applying for the DV to be careful when accepting outside help as well as ensure that information they entered are correct.
