Why the US is targeting the diversity visa lottery and what it means for applicants
The State Department is indefinitely pausing a visa program intended to admit certain individuals to the United States, known as the diversity visa program.
BREAKING NEWS 🚨
We have learned that DV lottery winners who recently had their interviews and visas approved in the Ankara Embassy last week, They have been contacted from the consular section of Ankara and informed that their visas CANNOT BE PRINTED due to the latest DV process paused.
The decision taken by USCIS, which allowed consulates to act directly without a DOS ruling is unlawful!

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No diversity or other visas have been revoked as part of this guidance.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.

DOS is also trying to obstruct the studies and analyses we conduct every year on global DV data. This year, they added a requirement for surname and passport number to the CEAC due diligence website.
This seems likely to prevent the aggregate analysis and dissemination of the relevant data to you.

In line with DOS's announcement (interviews will continue to schedule applicants for appointments) as above, many DV winners have just started receiving interview dates for February.
