Common Question asked: If I did not include my children on my application, can I add them after I win.

If a person wins the Diversity Visa (DV) lottery but did not include their children in the initial application, this could cause complications and may even result in disqualification. The DV lottery application requires applicants to list all eligible family members, including spouses and children under 21, even if they do not plan to accompany the applicant to the U.S. Failure to list all family members is generally considered grounds for denial of the visa. You would need to be truthful during the interview process. The outcome may depend on the discretion of the consular officer.

The Department of State has issued all available diversity visas (DVs) for the 2023 Diversity Visa Program. We know the conclusion of the 2023 program may be disappointing to selectees who were unable to receive a visa.

The DV Program is limited to issuing approximately 55,000 visas each fiscal year. Selection does not guarantee that an applicant will receive a visa interview or a visa. Selection merely means the person may be eligible to participate in the DV program and may potentially apply for a visa.

Given that some of the first 55,000 persons selected will not qualify for visas or ultimately choose not to participate in the program, more individuals are selected to participate each year than visas available. This is done to ensure we are able to issue the maximum number of visas available under the DV program in any given year.

The 2025 Diversity Visa Program entry period will open on October 4, 2023, and we encourage all who are eligible to apply, including selectees who were unable to obtain a visa during a prior program year.
