Diversity Visa Issuance Updated Guidance
Last Updated: December 23, 2025
Effective immediately, the Department of State has paused all visa issuances to diversity immigrant visa applicants.
FAQs – Updated Diversity Visa (DV) Guidance
Why are diversity visa issuances being paused?
The Department of State is committed to ensuring that its visa process upholds the highest standards for U.S. national security and public safety. This action is being taken in light of concerns raised by the shooting at Brown University and killing of an MIT professor suspected to have been committed by an individual admitted to the United States through the DV program. This pause will allow the Department to undertake a review of the screening and vetting protocols in the DV program. This review will address any vulnerabilities in the process to ensure the Department can adequately establish the identity of aliens who are selected through the DV entry lottery, establish the applicants’ visa eligibility, and ensure that they do not present a threat to national security or public safety.
What happens to my visa interview appointment?
DV applicants may submit visa applications and attend interviews, and the Department will continue to schedule applicants for appointments, but no DVs will be issued. Existing diversity visa appointments generally will not be rescheduled or cancelled.
Are there any exceptions?
No. There are no exceptions to this guidance.
Does this affect my current valid visa?
No diversity or other visas have been revoked as part of this guidance. For questions relating to U.S. admission, we refer you to DHS.

Weed mek me fly without VISA
Their prez has made clear he will permanently stop all immigration from third world countries. Yet watch some continue to plead to “visit” a country that has made clear it does not want them there. Trump simply reflects the thinking of most American’s that the browning of America must stop
@Tenma: Laid down the racism card and be more serious.
USA citizens are tired of foreigner having more benefits than them. They just go to and claim Food stamps, health insurance, shelters, monthly pensions. MIllion of foreigner just live in USA suing Pensions and food stamp packages, they don’t work. And a family of USA citizens even black one, are working and the Government of USA denied them assistance, because their yearly salary doesn’t qualify for assistance and they struggle a lot, but instead they feed million of immigrants for free.
This Lottery Visa is just to bring migrants and give them Jobs, and public assistance to them. Trump is stopping all this madness and putting Nationals first. Numbers don’t lie. The billions and billion of US Tax money being drained to assist immigrants instead USA citizens regardless the skin color. You talk about racism, but when i see debates of popular Black American Youtubers online with millions of followers, they majority of black american community fully support Trump in this matters.
