AI SUMMARY
The U.S. has paused Diversity Visa issuances just weeks before the DV-2026 deadline, while Sudan suffers a deadly drone strike in North Kordofan and widespread healthcare facility closures.
- The U.S. Department of State implemented a new pause on Diversity Visa (DV) issuances to review screening and vetting procedures following security concerns.
- Although applicants can still submit documents and attend interviews, no visas will be issued under the pause, which threatens 3,287 prospective Ethiopian applicants ahead of the September 30, 2026 deadline.
- The new freeze was announced shortly after a federal court order briefly lifted a previous December 2025 hold on Diversity Visas.
