美国财政年度2027年多元化签证抽签计划将继续暂停，此前联邦上诉法院驳回了一项下级法院命令，该命令曾指示特朗普政府重启该项目，令有意申请者不确定何时才能参加绿卡抽签。
The US Diversity Visa lottery for fiscal year 2027 will remain suspended after a federal appeals court blocked a lower court order directing the Trump administration to reopen the program, leaving prospective applicants uncertain about when they can for the Green Card lottery.
据彭博社法律新闻报道，美国第九巡回上诉法院于10月29日发布紧急禁令，允许国务院在政府上诉进行期间，继续将多元化移民签证（DV）计划搁置。
The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an emergency stay on October 29, allowing the State Department to keep the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) program on hold while the government's appeal proceeds, according to a Bloomberg Law report.
该决定是在国务院原本需要宣布2027财年抽签注册时间表的几小时前作出的。它暂时中止了一项加州联邦法院的命令，该命令曾指示政府重启注册流程，并遵循特定时间表。特朗普签证政策影响美国MBA需求，国际申请下降38%美国多元化签证抽签为何被暂停这场法律纠纷始于国务院未能启动2027财年多元化签证抽签注册流程。该部门在2025年11月宣布了下一轮抽签的变更，但在同年12月暂停了该计划。
The decision came just hours before the department was required to announce the FY2027 lottery registration schedule. It temporarily suspends a California federal court order that had directed the government to restart the registration process and follow a specific timeline.

The department had announced changes to the next lottery cycle in November 2025 but suspended the program in December that year.
代表多元化签证抽签中签者的移民律师事务所红鹰律师事务所，于2026年8月提起诉讼，挑战该暂停决定。该事务所认为，政府的决定违反《行政程序法》，属于非法。
Red Eagle Law, an immigration law firm representing Diversity Visa lottery selectees, filed a lawsuit in August 2026 challenging the suspension. The firm argued that the government's decision was unlawful under the Administrative Procedure Act.
10月14日，美国加利福尼亚州南区法院法官金淑·奥塔发布初步禁令，指示国务院重启该计划。
On October 14, US District Judge Jinsook Ohta of the Southern District of California issued a preliminary injunction directing the State Department to restart the program.
该命令要求该部门在10月29日前公布注册时间表，并于11月1日开放为期30天的申请窗口。
The order required the department to announce the registration schedule by October 29 and open the application window by November 1 for 30 days.
它还指示官员在12月3日前通知被选中的申请人，并按通常程序处理他们的签证申请。美国劳工部高级官员在微软裁员后发出严厉警告：“不要与美国工人作对。”然而，政府对该裁决提出上诉，并向第九巡回上诉法院申请紧急暂缓执行。上诉法院的说法在10月29日的裁决中，第九巡回上诉法院表示，政府已充分证明其上诉很可能胜诉，因为红鹰律师事务所未能确立其提起诉讼的法律资格。

What the appeals court saidIn its October 29 decision, the Ninth Circuit said the government had made a strong showing that it was likely to succeed in its appeal because Red Eagle Law had not established that it had the legal standing to bring the challenge.
法官指出，管理多样性签证计划的法律旨在鼓励来自美国历史移民率较低国家的移民，而非为代表申请人的律师事务所创造收入。法院还澄清，其裁决并未认可国务院未开放注册的行为。“我们不认可国务院未开放抽奖注册期的行为，”法院表示，并补充说，红鹰律师事务所未能证明其处于该法律保护的利益范围内。暂停对申请人的影响多样性签证计划每年向来自美国历史移民率较低国家的合格申请人提供最多55,000份移民签证。
The judges observed that the law governing the Diversity Visa program was intended to encourage immigration from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the US, rather than generate revenue for law firms representing applicants. The court also clarified that its decision did not endorse the State Department's failure to open registration." We do not endorse the Department’s failure to open the lottery registration period," the court said, adding that Red Eagle had not demonstrated that it fell within the zone of interests protected by the law. What the suspension means for applicantsThe Diversity Visa program makes up to 55,000 immigrant visas available annually to eligible applicants from countries with historically low immigration rates to the US.
选拔是随机的，并不保证获得绿卡，因为申请人仍需满足资格要求并完成签证办理。该计划于2025年12月被暂停，原因是一名通过抽奖获得美国签证的葡萄牙公民被怀疑在罗得岛州和马萨诸塞州实施了枪击事件。随着上诉法院允许暂停继续，财政年度2027年抽奖尚未确定注册日期。
Selection is random and does not guarantee a Green Card, as applicants must still meet eligibility requirements and complete visa processing. The program was suspended in December 2025 after a Portuguese national who had obtained a US visa through the lottery was suspected of carrying out shootings in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. With the appeals court allowing the suspension to continue, there is no confirmed registration date for the FY2027 lottery.
