Thanks for the update, Shawn. Can you clarify one thing: When you say "unless a new Executive Order reverses this policy, not one single Afghan refugee will be admitted to the United States this fiscal year", am I correct in understanding that this applies to refugees, whether they are at CAS or not, but it does not apply to those with SIVs (assuming they can make it to the US)?

Subject: Let Afghan DV-2026 Winners Live Their American Dream

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you with a heavy heart on behalf of the Afghan Diversity Visa (DV-2026) winners and their families — people whose dreams, hopes, and futures now hang in painful uncertainty because of the recent executive travel restrictions.

For thousands of Afghans, being selected in the U.S. Diversity Visa Lottery was not just luck — it was a lifeline. It was the promise of safety after years of war, the hope of rebuilding lives in peace, and the belief that justice and opportunity still exist in this world. These are honest, hardworking, and educated individuals who followed every rule, trusted in America’s fairness, and dreamed of contributing to the nation they admire.

But today, that dream feels like it’s slipping away. Many of these families have sold their homes, left their jobs, and invested everything they had to prepare for a new beginning in the United States. Now, they find themselves in despair — their hopes fading, their future uncertain, their faith in justice shaken.

They are not asking for special treatment. They are only asking for the chance they rightfully earned — the chance to live in peace, work hard, and raise their children in safety and dignity. To deny them now would not just break their dreams; it would break the very spirit of fairness and compassion that has always defined America.

Please, let their voices be heard. Let their hopes be restored. Let the Afghan DV-2026 winners begin the new life they were promised — one filled with purpose, gratitude, and contribution to the country they have long admired from afar.

With heartfelt respect and hope,

On behalf of the Afghan DV-2026 Diversity Visa Winners and Their Families

What about SIV case holders. SIV is also stoped or no,
