A district court has ordered that the DOS save around 9,000 unused visas for the diversity lottery winners from FY2020. These visas are to be saved even after the September 30, 2020 deadline awaiting final judgement on the case Gomez v. Trump. If plaintiffs win the case, those 9,000 visas will be issued to various individuals selected in the visa lottery and who did not get their visas issued on or before April 30, 2020.
