Brian D. Lerner Immigration Attorney & Deportation Lawyer Blog

Thursday, a D.C. federal judge expressed concern that thousands of visa lottery winners affected by President Biden’s continued enforcement of Trump-era travel bans are in danger of losing their visas if he declines their request for immediate relief. According to a motion brought on behalf of the lottery winners, about 7,000 diversity visas issued by the State Dept. last September in response to a court order are set to expire, as they are valid for a maximum of six months. Attorneys for the lottery winners argue that time is of the essence, and emergency relief is the only way to ensure that their visas will be safe until Biden rescinds the bans. The judge said he will issue a decision “quickly.”
