If your result says “You have not been selected,” don’t lose hope. Here’s what you can do:
1. Keep the confirmation number safe – you may still be selected later if there is a second draw (explained below).
2. Try again this October 2025 when the next Green Card Lottery (DV-2027) opens.
WILL THERE BE A SECOND DRAW IN 2025?
Yes, sometimes the U.S. government does a second draw for the Green Card Lottery. If some selected people don’t complete the process or are disqualified, the U.S. may select more winners.

• In DV-2023, more selectees were added in September 2022.

WHAT IS A GREEN CARD?
A Green Card is a special card that allows a person to live and work permanently in the United States. The U.S. government gives Green Cards to people from different countries each year through the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery Program .
This program is run by the U.S. Department of State, and it is free to apply. Every year, they randomly select about 55,000 people from countries with low immigration to the U.S.
HOW DOES THE GREEN CARD LOTTERY WORK?
1. You apply online (usually between October and November the previous year).
2. You receive a confirmation number after submitting your application.
3. On the result day (this year: May 3rd, 2025) , you go online and use your confirmation number to check if you were selected.

2. Click on “Check Status.”
3. Enter your:
• Confirmation number (from your application)

• Year of birth
• Captcha code shown on the screen
WHAT MESSAGE YOU SEE IF YOU WERE SELECTED

“You have been randomly selected for further processing in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program...”
This means you won! Congratulations!
You will also see a Case Number , which you must save. It usually looks like this: 2025AF00012345
WHAT MESSAGE YOU SEE IF YOU WERE NOT SELECTED
If you were not selected, the message will say:
“Based on the information provided, the entry has not been selected for further processing...”
Don't give up – you can try again in the next DV Lottery.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE SELECTED?
Being selected does not mean you are guaranteed a Green Card. You still have to go through processing and interviews. Here are the next steps:
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS AFTER SELECTION

• This is the immigrant visa application form.
• You must complete it online at the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC).
• Use your Case Number to log in.
• Enter your personal information, education, work experience, and more.
• Submit it as soon as possible to secure an early interview date.
2. Wait for Interview Appointment
• After submitting your DS-260 form, you will wait for the U.S. embassy or consulate to schedule your interview.
• You will receive an email when your interview is scheduled.
3. Prepare Required Documents
You will need to bring several documents to your interview. These include:
• Passport (valid for at least 6 months)
• Birth certificate
• Police clearance certificate (shows you have no criminal record)

IMPORTANT TIPS
• Don’t wait too long to fill out the DS-260 form.
• Make sure all documents are translated into English if they are in another language.
• Only use the official website to check your result or fill out forms.
• Do not pay anyone to "help" you get a Green Card – if it’s not official, it might be a scam.

English proficiency is essential for international students planning to study in countries where English is the primary medium of instruction. Universities require evidence of language proficiency to ensure that students can effectively communicate, participate in lectures, complete assignments, and thrive in an English-speaking academic environment. It also plays a crucial role in helping students adapt to cultural differences and engage with peers and faculty members.
For this reason, many institutions insist on standardized English proficiency tests. These tests assess the four key language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Depending on the university's criteria, students need to achieve a specific score to be eligible for admission.

POPULAR STANDARDIZED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY TESTS
Several internationally recognized tests measure English language proficiency. Here are the most common ones:
1. IELTS (International English Language Testing System):
IELTS is one of the most widely accepted tests, and it is recognized by institutions in countries like the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. It evaluates a candidate’s abilities in academic and general English.
2. TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language):
TOEFL is popular among universities in the United States. It primarily focuses on English used in academic settings, making it suitable for students applying for higher education.
3. Duolingo English Test:
A newer option, the Duolingo English Test is gaining popularity due to its affordability and convenience. It can be taken online from anywhere, making it accessible to students in remote areas.
4. PTE (Pearson Test of English):
PTE is another widely accepted test for academic purposes, known for its quick results and computer-based format.
These tests, while effective, can be costly and time-consuming, which is why some universities offer alternatives.
EXEMPTIONS FROM STANDARDIZED ENGLISH TESTS
For some students, taking a standardized test may not be necessary. Certain universities allow applicants to request an exemption if they have previously studied in an English-medium educational system. For instance, students who completed high school or an undergraduate degree in a curriculum conducted in English such as the International Baccalaureate (IB), Cambridge International, or a national curriculum taught entirely in English may be eligible for this exemption.
Instead of standardized test scores, these students can submit an English proficiency certificate or letter issued by their previous school or institution. This document confirms that the student’s education was conducted in English, serving as proof of their linguistic capability. However, not all universities accept this alternative, making it essential for applicants to carefully review each institution's requirements.

HOW TO OBTAIN AN ENGLISH PROFICIENCY CERTIFICATE
To obtain an English proficiency certificate, students should contact their previous school or educational institution. The certificate typically includes details such as:
• The student's full name.
• The institution's name and address.
• A statement confirming that English was the medium of instruction.
• The duration of the student's studies at the institution.
• An official stamp or signature from the school authority, such as the principal or registrar.
It’s important for students to ensure the certificate is accurate, formatted appropriately, and reflects the requirements of the universities they are applying to.

UNIVERSITIES THAT ACCEPT ENGLISH PROFICIENCY CERTIFICATES
Not all universities accept English proficiency certificates in place of standardized tests. The acceptance policy varies based on the institution, program, and sometimes even the country. Many universities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia have started acknowledging English proficiency certificates, especially if the student’s previous education aligns with their criteria.
However, this option is not universally available, and it is up to the applicant to verify whether their target institution offers this alternative. In some cases, universities may require additional supporting documents, such as academic transcripts or a personal interview, to confirm the applicant’s proficiency.
STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN APPLYING
Students who wish to use an English proficiency certificate instead of taking a standardized test should follow these steps:
1. Research the University’s Requirements: Carefully review the admission guidelines of each university. Look for details about English proficiency requirements and any exemptions offered.
2. Contact the Admissions Office: If the information isn’t clear on the university’s website, reach out to the admissions office for clarification. Ask if they accept English proficiency certificates and what specific details the document should include.
3. Obtain the Certificate Early: Request the certificate from your previous school well in advance. Processing times may vary, and having the document ready ensures that you meet application deadlines.
4. Submit Additional Documents if Needed: Some universities may ask for supplementary documents, such as letters of recommendation or transcripts, to support your application.
5. Follow-Up: After submitting your application, confirm with the university that all necessary documents, including the English proficiency certificate, have been received and meet their requirements.
ADVANTAGES OF USING AN ENGLISH PROFICIENCY CERTIFICATE
Opting for an English proficiency certificate instead of a standardized test offers several benefits:
1. Cost Savings: Standardized tests can be expensive, with fees often ranging from $50 to $300 or more. Using a certificate eliminates this expense.
2. Convenience: Preparing for and scheduling a standardized test can be time-consuming. A proficiency certificate simplifies the process for students who already meet the requirements.
3. Faster Application Process: Obtaining a certificate from a previous school is often quicker than preparing for a test and waiting for results.
CONCLUSION
English proficiency certificates offer a viable alternative to standardized tests for many international students. By obtaining this document from their previous schools, students who have studied in English-medium education systems can potentially save time and money while meeting university admission requirements.
However, this option is not universally applicable, and students must do their due diligence to understand the specific policies of their chosen universities. Thorough research, clear communication with admissions offices, and early preparation are key to navigating this aspect of the application process successfully.
As global education continues to evolve, more universities may adopt flexible approaches to assessing English proficiency, paving the way for a smoother and more inclusive admissions experience for students worldwide.

Kepler College is an educational institution in Rwanda that partners with the nonprofit organization Kepler. It aims to provide students with a high-quality, affordable university education combining online learning and in-person support. The college’s programs emphasize practical skills, career readiness, and employability to help students meet the demands of a competitive job market.
Kepler College is offering an excellent opportunity for Rwandan students to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Business Analytics in their January 2025 intake with a deferred tuition payment option through an Income Share Agreement (ISA). This means that students can study without needing to pay the full tuition upfront; instead, they can agree to pay back a portion of their income after they secure employment upon graduation. This model allows students to access quality education in Business Analytics while easing the financial burden during their studies, making higher education more accessible and equitable.
However, international students must pay the tuition fees upfront. This policy requires them to finance their studies in advance, unlike the deferred option available to Rwandans under the ISA.
Under the Income Share Agreement (ISA) offered by Kepler College for Rwandan students, students do not pay upfront tuition fees but instead agree to pay a percentage of their future income once they secure employment after graduation. This deferred tuition model allows students to pursue their education without immediate financial burdens, ensuring that the repayment is based on their post-graduation earnings. However, there are no scholarships available for this intake.

AVAILABLE PROGRAMS:
Kepler College's January 2025 intake currently has an open application for the BSc in Business Analytics program only, with the BA in Project Management and other programs not accepting applications for this cycle.

English proficiency refers to the ability to read, write, speak, and understand English effectively. It encompasses a range of language skills, including vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and the ability to comprehend spoken and written English in various contexts. High English proficiency means that a person can communicate clearly and confidently in various contexts, such as academic, professional, and social situations.
English proficiency is often measured through standardized tests such as IELTS (International English Language Testing System), TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), Duolingo English test, Cambridge English Qualifications, or other similar exams, especially for non-native speakers who are looking to study, work, or immigrate to English-speaking countries.
However, many institutions (Universities) waive this requirement if the student has completed at least three years of study in a school where English was the primary medium of instruction. This policy helps streamline the application process for students already proficient in English through their previous education.
HOW DO I SHOW THE UNIVERSITY THAT I HAVE STUDIED IN THE ENGLISH SYSTEM?
There is a letter (document) that the student has to request from the School he has graduated from confirming that the student studied his studies in the English system. This document has to be signed and stamped by the head of school administration. See the Sample of this letter via this link:

Some universities, including the African Leadership University (ALU), are revolutionizing the assessment of applicants' English proficiency by offering the ALU English Proficiency Test (EPT) at no cost. This innovative approach not only eliminates financial barriers for prospective students but also ensures that applicants can demonstrate their language skills effectively.

For the students planning to take any test either the one from ALU or some standardized tests, here's one of the English proficiency measures (EF SET) you can use for practice while preparing for your test:

So, when applying to universities, English language requirements can vary significantly. Some institutions may accept standardized tests like Duolingo, IELTS, or others but might also offer waivers if you can prove prior education in an English-speaking system, which is a common policy. Others, such as ALU, may require you to take their own language test, while some universities might not require any proof of English proficiency at all.
Therefore, it depends on the university you're applying to and students should carefully review each university’s policies to identify the best path to showcase their English proficiency. This way, you can choose the most suitable way to demonstrate your English proficiency based on their requirements.
