US Judge Orders Reopening of 2027 Diversity Visa Lottery Registration
A US federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to reopen registration for the 2027 Diversity Visa (Green Card) lottery, setting the application window to open by November 1, 2026, for 30 days. This follows a lawsuit by California-based Red Eagle Law challenging the delayed registration. The State Department must announce official dates, accept eligible entries, notify selected applicants by December 3, and process cases under existing rules. The ruling restores access to permanent residency for eligible applicants worldwide, excluding those generally ineligible, such as applicants born in India.
