The U.S. Division of State is urging Range Visa (DV-2025) Lottery winners to finish their purposes rapidly, warning that obtainable visa numbers might run out earlier than the September 30, 2025, deadline.

In line with the August 2025 Visa Bulletin, there are 52,000 visas obtainable for DV-2025 on account of reductions tied to NACARA and up to date protection laws. Visas are allotted by area, and the South America and Caribbean area has been assigned 2,600 spots in August and a pair of,825 in September.
The bulletin emphasizes that visa availability can’t be assured via the top of the fiscal 12 months, particularly for candidates with excessive lottery ranks. As soon as numbers run out, no further DV-2025 visas could be issued — even to certified people who’ve already been chosen.
Notably, the Bahamas stays “present,” which means all certified candidates from the nation can proceed with their interviews and documentation no matter rank quantity.
The bulletin stresses that entitlement to a range visa ends on September 30, 2025, and that spouses and youngsters of winners should even be processed by that date. Because the deadline approaches, DV-2025 candidates are inspired to make sure all required paperwork are submitted to keep away from disqualification.
