When can I move to the United States after winning DV Lottery?
Note that the DV program application is free and will always be free. Beware of fraud.
Winning a DV Lottery by itself does not give you a Green Card. To move to the U.S, you will need to go through an embassy interview and prove that you are not a threat to American society and that you can provide for yourself.
The next step is to pass medical testing in an accredited center. This is to prove that you are not a carrier of dangerous infections as well as mental deviations. Learn more about a medical exam here: https://dvlottery.me/blog/1800-medical_for_green_card.
