The answer to that question is quite simple. The answer is you will have to wait. Why are you going to wait or why should you wait? You should wait because activities concerning the upcoming program, that is the program for those who got selected from the results that were released during the month of May have not yet started.

When will they start? They will start in the month of August. So between now and August, as a diversity visa applicant who saw or who will see that you have been selected, there is nothing to do but to wait until the month of August. Once you have submitted your DS-260.

As you wait, there are two things that I’m going to suggest to you that you could do that will serve you when the program actually kicks off.

Do This:

The first of those things is to get informed concerning the diversity visa application process. There’s a whole lot of things involved in this process. You can use this time, as you wait for activities to begin in your program, to get acquainted with the different workings of the diversity visa program. That’s one thing that you could do as you wait.

Another thing that you could do as you wait is to put together the documents, your documents that you will have to submit at your diversity visa interview. This is a good time to begin to gather your documents. Those documents will not be submitted before your diversity visa interview. No, you only gather them and keep them because you have to take them along with you when you attend your diversity visa interview.
