|---|---|---|---|

| The A Company's service | €15 | The A Company | Paid to The A Company. We fill in the lottery entry with you: €15 for one applicant, €20 for an applicant and spouse, €30 for a family; €10 more when both spouses, or both parents in a family, apply. [13] |
| **Total per applicant** | **€16** | | |

€1 = $1.1195 (2026-10-14): https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/policy_and_exchange_rates/euro_reference_exchange_rates/html/index.en.html

## How to apply

1. **Enter the lottery online (E-DV)**. Entries are made only on the official site, dvprogram.state.gov, during the registration period, one entry per person. Print the confirmation page: you need its number to check your result. Right now the site says entries are not being accepted at this time; the State Department will announce when DV-2027 opens. Entering costs $1, paid only by the principal applicant. https://dvprogram.state.gov [3][4][5][2][6][7]
2. **Check your result (Entrant Status Check)**. You are told only through Entrant Status Check, with your confirmation number. The State Department does not write to you if you are not selected. Being selected does not guarantee a visa: it means you may apply. https://dvprogram.state.gov/ESC/ [7][5][9]
3. **If you are selected: apply for the visa**. Selected? The visa itself is a second application: the DS-260, the documents, the medical exam and the interview at the U.S. Embassy in Pristina. It has its own page. https://theacompany.ai/visa/usa/dv/selected/kosovo [9]

## Questions? Answers.

### How much does entering the U.S. green card lottery (DV) cost from Kosovo?

$1, paid only by the principal applicant, on the official site dvprogram.state.gov. [2][4]

### Is it free to enter the U.S. green card lottery (DV)?

No. Entering costs $1, paid only by the principal applicant when registering. Enter only on the official site, dvprogram.state.gov, and fill it in yourself. Beware of emails and websites that ask for money: the State Department never asks you to send money by mail or Western Union. [2][4][5]

### Who can enter the U.S. green card lottery (DV)?

People born in an eligible country, with a high school education or qualifying work experience. Your country is where you were born, not where you live or your citizenship. If it is not eligible, you may claim your spouse’s country of birth, or a parent’s when neither parent was born or lived in your country when you were born. The list of countries that are not eligible may change every year. [5]

### When can I enter the U.S. green card lottery (DV-2027)?

The dates are not announced yet. The State Department will announce the DV-2027 registration period as soon as practicable. Entries are accepted only online, during that period, one per person; more than one disqualifies you. For DV-2026 it ran from October 2, 2024 to November 7, 2024. [6][5][4]

### Can I enter the U.S. green card lottery (DV) now?

Not right now. The Electronic Diversity Visa site says entries are not being accepted at this time. The State Department will announce the start date of the DV-2027 registration period as soon as practicable. [3][6]

### How do I check if I was selected in the U.S. green card lottery (DV)?

Only on Entrant Status Check at dvprogram.state.gov, with your confirmation number. The State Department sends no letter and no email telling you whether you were selected, and embassies give no list. If you lose the number, Entrant Status Check can retrieve it through the email you entered with. [5]

### Does being selected in the U.S. green card lottery (DV) mean I get the visa?

No. Selection only means you may apply. More than 55,000 people are selected each year for up to 55,000 visas, so there are not enough for everyone selected. You must still meet every requirement of U.S. law at the interview. [5][9]

### Can anyone guarantee a U.S. visa?

No. Any claim that someone can guarantee a visa is fraudulent. A consular officer decides at the interview whether you qualify. [11]

## More questions, answered in the chat

A high school education, or work experience. The school must be a completed formal course of 12 years of elementary and secondary education; equivalency certificates such as the G.E.D. are not accepted. The work must be 2 years within the past 5 years, in an occupation that requires at least 2 years of training or experience, as classified in the Department of Labor’s O*Net database.

### What do I need to check my U.S. green card lottery (DV) result?

Your confirmation number, which is on the DV confirmation page shown after you submit your entry. Print that page and keep it. If you lose the number, Entrant Status Check can send it to the email address you registered with. (Entrant Status Check (ESC): https://dvprogram.state.gov/ESC/Help.aspx, 2026-10-28; Instructions for the 2026 Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (DV-2026): https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Diversity-Visa/DV-Instructions-Translations/DV-2026-Instructions-Translations/DV%202026%20Plain%20Language%20Instructions%20and%20FAQs.pdf, 2026-10-23)

### Must I list my spouse and children in my U.S. green card lottery (DV) entry?

Yes. List your spouse and all your unmarried children under 21, even if they do not live with you or will not immigrate. Leaving one out, or listing someone who is not your family, can make you all ineligible. Do not list a spouse who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, or your parents and siblings. Your spouse may also submit an entry; if either of you is selected, the other can apply as a dependent.

### Can The A Company guarantee my visa?

No. Nobody can: a consular officer interviews you and decides whether you qualify. (U.S. Embassy in Kosovo: Nonimmigrant Visa FAQ: https://xk.usembassy.gov/frequently-asked-questions-nonimmigrant-visa/, 2026-10-11)
