US Visa Bulletin Caps Latin American Green Cards at 4,750 Until Sept 30

The U.S. State Department's visa bulletin sets a cap of 4,750 green cards for applicants from South America and the Caribbean under the diversity visa lottery, effective until September 30. This is a routine administrative quota, not a policy shift, but it affects immigration flows from the region. The cap is part of the annual diversity visa program, which is subject to statutory limits.
