The U.S. State Department has resumed issuing diversity visas after a court order in the ongoing case Medani et al. v. Trump et al., according to a confirmation dated August 28, 2026.
The agency had temporarily suspended diversity visa issuance at U.S. embassies and consulates in December 2025 while it reviewed screening and vetting protocols. That suspension has now ended as a result of the court order.
Officials have warned that processing must move quickly because diversity immigrant visas must be issued by September 30 of the applicable fiscal year. If that deadline passes, the visa number is lost.
The move restores a key immigration pathway for applicants affected by the suspension, but the remaining timeline leaves limited room for delay.
