For people selected in the DV-2026 Diversity Visa program, the clock is still ticking. The State Department says DV-2026 eligibility ends on September 30, 2026, and visas cannot be issued after that date.
That makes planning especially important for Turkish applicants who are working through the next steps. Even a qualified case can miss out if documents are delayed, forms are incomplete, or an interview cannot be scheduled in time.
The bulletin also warns that visa numbers may be used up before the fiscal year ends. In other words, waiting until the last minute can be risky even if September has not arrived yet.
For families hoping to start a life in the United States through the lottery, the safest approach is to review case status now, respond quickly to any requests, and keep close track of every deadline.
