July 1, 2009 at 4:58 am

(3) Nikolay :

Why can’t I enter this website?Is the server too busy?

July 1, 2009 at 5:14 am

(4) mark :

I finally managed to log in and got as far as being asked to input a code from a CAPTCHA?? image. I wonder if the server overload causes a delay which alters the validity of the code after a certain time has elapsed. Finally I was given a server error message and told to come back later.

July 1, 2009 at 5:27 am

(5) Bayu :

Oh MG,is everyone checking their status? They making the sever so bussy.

July 1, 2009 at 5:57 am

(6) ljp :

if anyone manages to get past the captcha and onto a result instead of “system error. please try again later”, please let us all know guess it will take some time before the server copes with the overload

July 1, 2009 at 7:08 am

(10) Mali :

“system error. please try again later”, hummm..are they trying to tell us that we haven’t been selected??? Cause honestly, we can not all be stuck on the same CAPTCHA page.

July 1, 2009 at 7:21 am

(11) Atoder :

I couldn’t get to the site. It is so busy. I hope it will be available soon

July 1, 2009 at 7:34 am

(12) captcha :

No luck past the captcha. Been like this since the past 4 hours.

July 1, 2009 at 7:51 am

(13) beu :

This is really frustrating…. They should have some respect for people who have been waiting for so long for the results…. It is not that difficult to make the results available on a decent capacity server…

July 1, 2009 at 8:03 am

(14) bayram :

Guys u all did not recieve postal mail? that’s why u do want to check status ? may be we’ all did not win anything

July 1, 2009 at 8:10 am

(15) May :

I don’t know what’s wrong. I couldn’t able to check my status.Pls let me know, is it happening all over the world or only Burma.

July 1, 2009 at 8:16 am

(16) regit :

Based on the information provided, the Entry HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED for further processing for the 2010 Electronic Diversity Visa program. WHAT IS MEAN TAHT

July 1, 2009 at 10:22 am

(37) JOHN :

ooh ,i have checked but i have not believed am not going to america . will try this year

July 1, 2009 at 10:44 am

(38) BIKA :

if it said Has Not been selected that’s mean it’s over for me i have to try this year ?
or i have to keep checking my status ?

July 1, 2009 at 11:02 am

(39) Marina :

My sister was notified by mail and was sent instructions and information on fees. But when I cheked her status online, it says- HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED. Is that possible?

July 1, 2009 at 11:06 am

(40) mark :

If you get “HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED” does that mean it will now never be selected?

I understand they actually select about 90,000 i.e. it is oversubscribed and that even if you do get “selected” you may be well down the list and never get a visa.

The positive(?)things about having this online status check are:

1) if the online check shows you are selected you are forewarned should any postal irregularities occur re delivery of the official letter.

2) if the news you have not been selected is definitive you can at least move on or try again this year.

July 1, 2009 at 11:44 am

(41) Shaon :

God knows…plz i want to win….lets check

July 1, 2009 at 2:38 pm

(42) adam :

hi, i have been writing my info all day. And when i click on next will load and take me back to the same page with my information still there.why is that!

July 1, 2009 at 3:10 pm

(43) dxr :

if you guys watch carefully…the status check is woefully wrong. try inputing say..a wrong date of birth year in there with an incorrect surname. leave the confirmation number intact. it will still send the not selected message.

Question: isn’t the year and last name supposed to be used in the validation?

July 1, 2009 at 3:42 pm

(44) vix :

is it possible to have any information by sending an email them? i just simply dont have this number and have no idea if i did it form right.

July 1, 2009 at 4:43 pm

(45) Seth :

Adam, I think I’m having the same problem that you are having. I enter all the information and hit next, but it’s still the same page with no further instructions or anything at all. Does anyone else have the same problem?

July 1, 2009 at 5:06 pm

(46) J :

@seth
@adam

same problem
been trying all day!!

did it workout for u guys afterall ???

July 1, 2009 at 5:20 pm

(47) Thomas :

entry HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED…
so is that it? or is there a chance a visa might become available to me yet?? I really hope so!

July 1, 2009 at 6:45 pm

(48) Fred :

I tried with Google Chrome browser and it didn’t work. I had to use Firefox to get passed the initial information page (only to find out I was not selected..)

July 1, 2009 at 10:00 pm

(49) mimi :

I tried 3 times already, still the same message ENTRY HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED, then I tried my sister’s. I got her notification letter 3 weeks ago and it still says ENTRY HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED

July 1, 2009 at 10:13 pm

(50) mimi :

Ha anyone receive a POSSITIVE ENTRY, just to make sure cos I’m sure that I’m doing everything right. Why would the server say Entry not selected when my sister was selected. I need to be sure cos I moved and just started getting mail

July 2, 2009 at 2:05 am

(51) brrr :

ANYone SELECTED here??? Just wonder

July 2, 2009 at 2:53 am

(52) mahmud :

I will kiss the land of the USA if I win .

July 2, 2009 at 7:37 am

(53) Kevin :

I recieved a letter in the mail in June telling me i HAD been selected – i checked online last night and was shown id NOT BEEN SELECTED… i called the KCC to ask whats going on and they told me i had been selected and that they were having problems with their status checker – leave it till Monday people…. (so i was told)

July 2, 2009 at 7:40 am

(54) Kevin :

oh, another thing, GOOGLE CHROME does not work – use FIREFOX instead – ive not yet tried it with Internet Explorer but know for a fact it’ll work in Firefox 3.5 – of course the servers would also show as being busy – what do you expect with 9 million people checking there status

July 2, 2009 at 7:46 pm

(55) Marina :

Thank you Kevin for this information!!

July 2, 2009 at 7:55 pm

(56) Marina :

Does anybody know the phone number of KCC?

July 2, 2009 at 8:07 pm

(57) Jennifer (Immigration Guide) :

Marina, KCC’s phone number is listed under Visa Services on the How to Contact Us page on travel.state.gov.

July 2, 2009 at 8:13 pm

(58) Marina :

Thank you, Jennifer.

July 3, 2009 at 1:27 pm

(61) yulz :

July 4, 2009 at 10:40 am

(62) Benson :

Does “YOUR ENTRY HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED” and “YOUR ENTRY WAS NOT SELECTED” the same thing? If one’s entry “HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED”, it means there’s the chance or possibility that it might be SELECTED a little bit later, may be in a few days or weeks time? Some clarifications, please!!!

July 4, 2009 at 3:16 pm

(63) tes :

I used my friend’s mail address for the 2010 dv. 3 weeks ago he called and told me about the good news that i was selected.

(94) Agbo john :

Is the 16 characters long confirmation number the same for every body.

June 7, 2010 at 1:11 pm

(95) stefano :

I am trying to check the status of my entry, but every time
I enter my information I get the following error message:

“Invalid Confirmation Number: Please enter the correct confirmation number which is 16 characters long (example: 20101O0DZWY3DOV9)”

This doesn’t make any sense. I have in front of me the print out of the confirmation page with my name, the confirmation number, and my year of birth, so what’s wrong?

Also I noticed that when I am to enter my information to check the status, next to the box of Conf no. appears in grey a writing saying “Format:2010xxxxxxxxxxxx”
So why I wonder my Conf no. I was given instead starts with 2011???

Anybody else have their conf no starting with 2011 and get the error message?

June 8, 2010 at 3:45 am

(96) Hans :

Stefano: These results are for 2010, your confirmation number is for 2011. You’ll have to wait until July 1st 2010 before you can see if you were selected or not

June 8, 2010 at 11:13 am

(97) stefano :

you’re absolutely right Hans Thanks! Now I feel dumb but with renewed hope : )

July 1, 2010 at 9:55 am

(101) SethS :

Unfortunately, mine says ENTRY HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED. It gave a feeling that it’s still in the random drawing stage.

I recently just moved and change my address via online USPS.

Will the mails be forwarded to my new address?

July 2, 2010 at 2:51 pm

(102) phe :

anyone.. if you HAVE NOT BEEN SELECTED, are you supposed to keep checking your status online through the stated date, which is June 30, 2011 to see whether or not you win??? it kinda gives you pressures if you have to do that…

July 4, 2010 at 6:58 pm

(103) Waberi :
