On September 4, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Gomez vs. Trump enjoined the U.S. State Department (the Department) from suspending processing of, or denying, diversity visas under Presidential Proclamation 10014 (PP 10014) and ordered the Department to make good-faith efforts to expeditiously process and adjudicate DV-2020 diversity visa applications (DV) by September 30, 2020.  The Court required the Department to give priority to the cases of certain individuals, and your case qualifies for prioritized processing and interview. Because the DV-2020 program expires on, and all DVs must be printed by, September 30, there is a very brief period of time to process your case.

You should be aware that we may nevertheless be unable to issue your DV before September 30 because all travelers seeking visas in Poland are still subject to Presidential Proclamation 9993, which restricts almost all travel from the Schengen Area to the United States. Proclamation 9993 precludes us from issuing a visa to anyone who is physically present in a Schengen country – this includes Diversity Visas. Thus, even though the court ordered the Department to continue processing DVs under PP 10014, your case is still subject to PP 9993 unless you qualify for an exception to that proclamation. For information about exceptions to PP 9993, please see the following link: NIEs Under PP 9993. We cannot issue a diversity visa to applicants subject to PP9993, unless you qualify for an exception.

By entering Poland, you will become subject to P.P. 9993. Warsaw is not permitted to issue visas to people who are subject to P.P.9993, even if they plan to leave Poland and wait 14 days before traveling to the United States. Unless you are eligible for an exception to PP 9993, we will need to refuse your visa. You can see the official State Department guidance about this on this page: https://travel.state.gov/content/trave...pdate.html

If you believe that you qualify for an exception to PP9993 and wish to pursue your DV application, please contact us immediately so that we can provide you with detailed instructions on what you will need to do before your interview.
