On April 27, 2020, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) announced that it is postponing the opening of Entrant Status Check for the Diversity Visa-2021 applications from May 5, 2020, through June 6, 2020 [PDF version]. The DOS explained that its “resources are currently being used in our role responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and are prioritized for the assistance of U.S. citizens overseas.” The DOS added that its postponement of Entrant Status Check for Diversity Visa-2021 applications “will not negatively impact our ability to pre-process and schedule [Diversity Visa]-2021 interviews, which are scheduled to begin on October 1, 2020.”
