19. If the E-DV system rejects my entry, can I resubmit my entry?    
Yes, you can resubmit your entry as long as your submission is completed by 12:00 pm (noon) Eastern Standard Time (EST) (GMT-5) on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.  You will not be penalized for submitting a duplicate entry if the E-DV system rejects your initial entry.  Given the unpredictable nature of the Internet, you may not receive the rejection notice immediately.  You can try to submit an application as many times as is necessary until a complete application is received and the confirmation notice sent.  Once you receive a confirmation notice, your entry is complete, and you should NOT submit any additional entries. 
 
20.  How soon after I submit my entry will I receive the electronic confirmation notice?    
You should receive the confirmation notice immediately, including a confirmation number that you must record and keep.  However, the unpredictable nature of the Internet can result in delays.  You can hit the “Submit” button as many times as is necessary until a complete application is sent and you receive the confirmation notice.  However, once you receive a confirmation notice, do not resubmit your information.
