US Diversity Visa lottery remains suspended as appeals court blocks reopening
A federal appeals court granted the Trump administration an emergency stay, halting a lower court’s deadlines for reopening the FY2027 Diversity Visa lottery.
The US Diversity Visa lottery for fiscal year 2027 remains suspended after a federal appeals court blocked a lower court order directing the Trump administration to reopen the program. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an emergency stay on October 29, allowing the State Department to keep the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) program on hold while the government appeals the decision. This suspension comes just hours before the department was required to announce the FY2027 lottery registration schedule.
