all yearn for a life in the shining city upon a hill and its beacon of hope – the American
Dream.
2. Plaintiffs hereby challenge the U.S. Department of State’s (hereafter referred to as the
“Department”) adoption of policies, procedures, and practices implemented pursuant to
Presidential Proclamation 10014 (hereafter referred to as the “PP 10014”), and its extension
in Presidential Proclamation 10052 (“PP 10052), suspending the processing of immigrant
visa applications for individuals selected in the fiscal year 2020 Diversity Visa Program
(hereafter referred to as “DV-2020 program”) and the resulting unlawful withholding of
issuances of visas to eligible applicants.
3. All Plaintiffs, either as DV-2020 selectees or as derivative spouses or children, have been
invited by the Department to apply for the DV-2020 program.
4. All Plaintiffs have submitted immigrant visa applications pursuant to their DV-2020
program selection, and submitted all required documents to the Department’s Kentucky
Consular Center (“KCC”).
5. Plaintiffs hereby seek an order requiring Defendant President Trump, Secretary Michael
R. Pompeo, and the Department to set aside the Department’s unlawful policies,
procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of immigrant visa applications for
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 45 of 308
2
DV-2020 selectees, fulfill their mandatory, non-discretionary duty to adjudicate Plaintiffs’
immigrant visa applications, and issue decisions on their applications before September 30,
2020.
6. For Plaintiffs, the stakes are high and a matter of extreme urgency. By statute, DV-2020
program selectees must have their visas adjudicated and issued before midnight on
September 30, 2020.
7. Should the Plaintiffs not have their visas issued before midnight on September 30, 2020,
barring a protective order from this Court, Plaintiffs, will lose their opportunity to
immigrate to the United States of America through the DV-2020 program as a result of
Defendants’ unlawful actions.
8. With over 23 million entrants a year, a diversity visa entrant has less than a one percent
chance to be selected to apply for the visa. The probability of being selected twice is
.00025%.
9. Defendants have suspended the DV-2020 program through policies, procedures, and
practices that are contrary to the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”),federal
regulations, and preexisting Department policies governing the adjudication of the
program.
10. Defendants’ policies, procedures, and practices suspend: (1) processing of applications for
the DV-2020 program at the KCC; (2) scheduling of mandatory immigrant visa interviews
for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries at United States
Embassies and Consulates; and (3) adjudications for already submitted applications
pending decisions by consular officers.
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 46 of 308
3
11. Defendants’ policies, procedures, and practices will remain in place through September 30,
2020 and effectively end the DV-2020 program.
12. Defendants policies, procedures, and practices suspending the Diversity Visa Program
rests, in part, on the Presidential Proclamation 10014, Proclamation Suspending Entry of
Aliens Who Present a Risk to the U.S. Labor Market Following the Coronavirus Outbreak
(April 23, 2020) (hereafter referred to as “PP 10014”), and its extension in Presidential
Proclamation 10052, Suspension of Entry of Immigrants and Nonimmigrants Who Present
a Risk to the United States Labor Market During the Recovery Following the 2019 Novel
Coronavirus Outbreak (hereafter referred to as “PP 10052”).
13. Plaintiffs have received emails from U.S. Embassies and Consulates stating:
“Unfortunately, Diversity Visa applicants are not exempt of the current Travel Ban and
there are [sic] no waiver eligible. Hence, the Embassy is putting all Diversity Visa
applications on hold until the Travel Ban is lifted.”
14. State Department officials and media outlets have repeated this message and informed all
DV-2020 visa applicants that the adjudications of their visas have been suspended through
December 31, 2020 pursuant to PP 10014 and PP 10052.
15. The Department’s practices, policies, and procedures refusing to adjudicate immigrant visa
applications for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries and issue visas to
eligible applicants is unlawful and violates non-discretionary duty to adjudicate immigrant
visa applications.
16. Plaintiffs are requesting that the Court: (1) mandate Defendants reserve visas numbers for
Plaintiffs through the pendency of litigation, (2) declare Defendants’ policies, procedures,
and practices suspending Plaintiffs’ visa application applications, (3) order Defendants to
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 47 of 308
4
fully adjudicate Plaintiffs’ immigrant visa applications before the statutory deadline on
September 30, 2020, and issue visas to eligible applicants in accordance with law. If
Plaintiffs receive their visas, Plaintiffs request their visas be preserved until the suspension
is lifted and they are permitted to enter the United States.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
17. This Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1361, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Declaratory relief is authorized by Rule 57 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The
Court has remedial authority pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1361, 28 U.S.C. §2201, and 5 U.S.C.
§ 702.
18. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391 (e)(1)(A) because Defendant Michael R.
Pompeo, in his official capacity as Secretary of State, resides in the District, and pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(e)(1)(B) because a substantial part of the events or omissions giving
rise to the claim occurred in this District, namely, the formulation and promulgation of the
challenged policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of immigration
visas for DV-2020 program selectees.

DEFENDANTS
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 285 of 308
242
2114. Defendant Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America. He is
sued in his official capacity.
2115. Defendant Michael R. Pompeo is the Secretary of State for the United States of
America. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, he has the authority to issue
regulations to implement the Diversity Visa Lottery Program. 8 U.S.C. §§ 1153, 1154.
He also prescribes the Visa Lottery fee, which is $330 per DV winner or derivative.
C.F.R. § 42.33(h)(2)(i) He is sued in his official capacity.
2116. Defendant Michael R. Pompeo administers the Diversity Visa Lottery Program
through the Bureau of Consular Affairs’ Kentucky Consular Center (KCC), located in
Williamsburg, Kentucky, which opened in 2000 to administer the program. As of May
2019, KCC had approximately 430 contract staff members working in two shifts and on
weekends and 5 Bureau of Consular Affairs direct-hire employees, including a Foreign
Service officer Director, all working under the direction of Defendant Michael R.
Pompeo. Among those, 21 contract staff members in KCC’s DV unit handle inquiries
about the program, process the electronic visa applications from DV selectees, schedule
overseas interviews, and work with U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services to process
selectees already in the United States.
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
A. DIVERSITY VISA IMMIGRANT PROGRAM
2117. The Immigration Act of 1990 created a new immigration category, the Diversity
Immigrant Visa Program, to increase diversity in the U.S. immigrant population by
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 286 of 308
243
providing 50,000 Diversity visas to nationals of countries that have had low immigration
rates to the United States. Public Law 101-649; 8 U.S.C. § 1153(c)
2118. The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program has led to a broader mix of nationalities
represented in the U.S. immigrant population, creating a U.S. better equipped to understand
and relate to the diversity of the world abroad.
2119. The Congressionally mandated program issues visas specifically for immigrants
who are natives of countries and regions from where fewer than 50,000 immigrants came
to the United States over the previous five years.
2120. Each fiscal year, the Department grants approximately 50,000 diversity immigrant
visas to individuals from countries underrepresented in the immigration process, which
allow recipients who are granted admission to enter the country as lawful permanent
residents who may live and work in the United States indefinitely. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1151(e),
1153(c)(1).
2121. Hopeful immigrants must submit entries during the application period.
2122. From those entries, the Department then chooses eligible selectees to apply for
immigrant visas.
2123. A diversity visa selectee is entitled to apply for an immigrant visa only during the
fiscal year for which the entry was submitted. See INA § 204(a)(1)(I)(ii)(II).
2124. The diversity visa program is administered at the Department’s KCC. See 9 FAM
502.6-4(c)(1)(a).
2125. After their selection, selectee receives a first notifications letter informing the
selectee of their selection and visa number. Id.
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 287 of 308
244
2126. The visa number, assigned by the KCC, is an administrative device used by the
State Department to ensure that it does not grant more than the statutorily allocated 50,000
visas per year.
2127. Selectees must then submit a DS-260, Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration
Application and various supporting documents. See 9 FAM 502.6-4(d)(1)(a),(b).
2128. When a selectee submits the DS-260, Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration
Application and supporting documentation, KCC considers the case documentarily
qualified.
2129. Once the case is documentarily qualified, the Department must schedule the
selectee for an immigrant visa interview at a United States Embassy or Consulate.
2130. The Foreign Affairs Manual and associated Handbooks (hereafter collectively
referred to as the “FAM”) are a single, comprehensive, and authoritative source for the
Department's organization structures, policies, and procedures that govern the operations
of the Department, the Foreign Service and, when applicable, other federal agencies. The
FAM conveys codified information to Department staff and contractors so they can carry
out their responsibilities in accordance with statutory, executive, and Department
mandates.
2131. The FAM states that “KCC will schedule an appointment for a ‘documentarily
qualified’ applicant when his or her regional lottery rank number is about to become
current.” 9 FAM 502.6-4(d)(2) (emphasis added).
2132. Each month, the Department publishes a Diversity Visa Bulletin summarizing the
availability of immigrant visas for diversity visa selectees.
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 288 of 308
245
2133. Selectees with current visas numbers are entitled to an immigrant visa interview to
make a formal application for an immigrant visa before a consular officer.
2134. All Plaintiffs have an available immigrant visa pursuant to their DV-2020 program
selection.
2135. The Department’s July 2020 Diversity Visa Bulletin demonstrates that all Plaintiffs
have an available immigrant visa.
Visa Bulletin for July, Number 43, Volume X, Department of State, Washington, D.C.
available at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-
bulletin/2020/visa-bulletin-for-july-2020.html/.
2136. As of July 2020, immigrant visas were available to all Plaintiffs.
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 289 of 308
246
2137. Because the Department must schedule immigrant visa interviews for DV-2020
selectees when their application is about to be current, the Department also publishes the
forthcoming months visa bulletin for DV-2020 selectees.
2138. The Department’s Visa Bulletin for July states that on August 1, 2020 all DV-2020
selections will be current and eligible for immigrant visa interviews.
Id.
2139. The entitlement requires the Department to schedule the selectee for a mandatory
immigrant interview at a US Embassy or Consulate to determine the selectee’s
qualifications for the diversity visa and admissibility into the United States pursuant to the
laws of the United States of America.
2140. At the time of the interview, the consular officer must issue or refuse the immigrant
visa application.
2141. If the selectee is admissible to the United States, the consular officer “shall” issue
the selectee an immigrant visa and may only refuse a visa “upon a ground specifically set
out in the law or implementing regulations.” See 22 C.F.R. § 40.6.
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 290 of 308
247
2142. Because the diversity visa program restarts each fiscal year, diversity visas may not
be issued after midnight on September 30 of the fiscal year of the selection. See 8 U.S.C.
§§ 1153(c)(1), 1154(a)(1)(I)(ii)(II); 22 C.F.R. § 42.33(a)(1)(d); see also 31 U.S.C. § 1102.
2143. If a selectee is not issued a visa prior to midnight on September 30 of the fiscal year
of the selection, the selectee cannot be issued a visa based on his or her visa selection for
that fiscal year.
B. DIVERSITY VISA ANIMUS
2144. At 4:30 AM on November 1, 2017, President Donald J. Trump made clear on twitter
his hostility towards the Diversity Visa Program.
2145. In a cabinet meeting later that day, the President stated that “I am today starting the
process of terminating the diversity lottery program.” Also stating, “Diversery [sic] and
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 291 of 308
248
diversity lottery. Diversity lottery. Sounds nice. It's not nice. It's not good. It's not good. It
hasn't been good. And we've been against it.”
Available at https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/926155393490878464).
2146. The next day, recognizing the President did not garner the legislative backing
necessary to end the Congressionally mandated program, the President stated “We're being
stopped by Democrats because they're obstructionists. And, honestly, they don't want to do
what's right for our country. We need strength. We need resolve. We have to stop it. So,
we're going to get rid of this lottery program as soon as possible.”
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 292 of 308
249
2147. On December 15, 2017, while speaking about the Diversity Visa Program the
President stated "They give us their worst people, they put 'em in a bin," Trump continued,
making a lifting gesture from an imaginary bin. He went on to say, "But in his hand when
he's picking these people, it's really the worst of the worst. 'Congratulations, you're going
to the United States.' What a system."
2148. It is unclear if the President was referring to career State Department officials at the
KCC or foreign services officers at the United States Embassies and Consulates who place
both their and their families lives at risk serving the citizens of the United States and
enforcing our immigration laws in his statement on giving the United States the “worst of
the worst.”
2149. On December 29, 2017, the President made clear in a tweet that “there can be no
DACA without the desperately needed WALL at the Southern Border and an END to the
horrible Chain Migration & ridiculous Lottery System of Immigration etc.”
2150. On January 4, 2018, the President tweeted “We must BUILD THE WALL, stop
illegal immigration, end chain migration & cancel the visa lottery. The current system is
unsafe & unfair to the great people of our country – time for change!” He repeated this
sentiment in tweets on January 9, 11, 12, 16, and two more on February 6.
2151. On February 8, 2018, the President tweeted “Time to end the visa lottery. Congress
must secure the immigration system and protect Americans.”
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 293 of 308
250
2152. On February 10, 2018, the President again detailed his intention of ending the
Diversity Visa Program, stating “My Administration has identified three major priorities
for creating a safe, modern and lawful immigration system: fully securing the border,
ending chain migration, and canceling the visa lottery.”
Available at https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/962469767109009408.
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 294 of 308
251
2153. During the President’s 2018 State of the Union address, he reiterated his intention
to gut the Diversity Visa Program as part of his immigration overhaul.
2154. In tweets sent on February 15, May 26, June 15, July 29, and July 30, 2018, the
President continued to call for ending the DV Lottery program.
2155. In May of 2019, Trump unveiled an immigration proposal, drafted largely by the
president’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner. Again, the President proposed to
end the Diversity Visa Program.
2156. At a campaign rally in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2019, President Trump painted a wildly
inaccurate picture of how the diversity visa program works to a ruckus group of his
supporters.
2157. The President stated, “And you pick people out of the lottery,” gesturing as if he
were picking names out of a hat. “Well let’s see, this one is a murderer, this one robbed
four banks, this one I better not say, this one another murderer, ladies and gentlemen,
another murderer.”
2158. The President also stated, “You think [countries] are going to put their great citizens
[….] into the lottery? Look at the people they put into these lotteries.”
2159. Despite his tenacious twitter campaign, the President again failed to garner the
legislative support for ending the Diversity Visa Program.
2160. The President’s longstanding animus towards the Diversity Visa Program and its
immigrant participants, failed efforts to garner the Congressional support to end the
Diversity Visa Program, and intent to unlawfully end the Congressional mandated
program is the basis for the Defendant’s unlawful policies, procedures, and practices
suspending the adjudication of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees.
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 295 of 308
252
2161. Defendants are now relying, in part, on the PP 10014 and PP 10052 to circumvent
the Immigration and Nationality Act, federal regulations , preexisting Department policies,
and the text of PP 10014 and PP 10052 to unlawfully suspend the adjudication of immigrant
visa applications for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.
2162. Defendants’ policies, procedures, and practices are a violation of the Immigration
and Nationality Act, Administrative Procedure Act, federal regulations, existing
Department policies, and the text of PP 10014 and 10052 governing the adjudication of
immigrant visa applications for Diversity Visa Program selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries.
C. DEFENDANTS HAVE CHANGED THE LAW AND SUSPENDED THE
ADJUDICATION OF IMMIGRANT VISAS FOR DV-2020 SELECTEES
2163. The Department has implemented policies, procedures, and practices suspending
the adjudication of immigrant visas for DV-2020 selectees through the DV-2020 deadline
– effectively ending the program.
2164. The graph below, prepared by Plaintiff Tiago Vaz Duarte Soares, demonstrates the
suspension of immigrant visa adjudication for the DV-2020 through the end of May in
comparison to the DV-2019, DV-2018, and DV-2017.
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 296 of 308
253
2165. The Department cannot rely upon any statutory authority, regulations, presidential
proclamations, executive orders, or preexisting Department policies to support a lawful
implementation of policies, procedures, and practices that suspend the adjudication and
issuance of immigrant visas for eligible DV-2020 selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries.
2166. The Department has suspended adjudication of immigrant visa applications for DV-
2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries at the KCC pursuant to the

applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries pursuant to
the Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of

254
immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries.
2169. United States Embassies and Consulates have suspended conducting immigrant

beneficiaries.
2170. United States Embassies and Consulates have suspended accepting evidence in
support of immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees pursuant to

2171. United States Embassies and Consulates have ended conducting security checks for

beneficiaries.
2172. United States Embassies and Consulates have suspended all adjudications for
already interviewed immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their

derivative beneficiaries.
2173. United States Embassies and Consulates have suspended PP 10014 and PP 10052
exemption determination for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries

255
pursuant to policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of immigrant
visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.
2174. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending immigrant visa
applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries will not
restart adjudications of immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and
their derivative beneficiaries before October 1, 2020 effectively ending the DV-2020
program.
D. DEFENDANTS UNLAWFULLY RELY ON PP 10014 AND PP 10052 TO SUSPEND
THE ADJUDICATION AND ISSUANCE OF IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATIONS
FOR DV-2020 PROGRAM SELECTEES AND THEIR DERIVATIVE
BENEFICIARIES.
2175. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending immigrant visa
applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries relies in part
on PP 10014 and PP 10052.
2176. The Department has adopted policies, procedures, and practices directing the KCC,
United States Embassies and Consulates, and consular officers to suspend immigrant visas
adjudications prior to a final decision to issue or refuse those immigrant visa applications
pursuant to PP 10014 and PP 10052.
2177. PP 10014 and PP 10052 mandate that consular officers “shall determine, in his or
her discretion, whether an immigrant has established his or her eligibility for an exception”
to the proclamation.
2178. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices preclude consular officers
from determining whether PP 10014 and PP 10052 is applicable to DV-2020 selectees and
their derivative beneficiaries.
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 299 of 308
256
2179. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending immigrant visa
applications for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries also conflate the PP
10014 and PP 10052’s suspension of entry with a ban on visa issuance.
2180. PP 10014 and PP 10052 do not preclude the issuance of immigrant visas for DV-
2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.
2181. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending immigrant visa
adjudications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries violate
statutes ,regulations, and preexisting Department policies requiring the issuance of
immigrant visas to diversity visa lottery winners who are statutorily eligible.
2182. The Department has failed to adhere to and has implemented policies and
procedures contrary to law, regulation, preexisting Department policies, and PP 10014 and
PP 10052.

suspending the adjudication and issuance of immigrant visas applications for DV-2020
program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries constitutes a final agency action that is
reviewable by this Court.
2187. The policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of immigrant
visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries are arbitrary and
capricious, an abuse of discretion, and not in accordance with law because the Defendant
lacked the statutory authority to unilaterally suspend the adjudications of immigrant visas
for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.
2188. The policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of immigrant
visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries strips the
Congressionally mandated entitlements of DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries and it does so by rewriting the immigration laws and contradicting the
priorities adopted by Congress.
2189. Defendant also disregarded the serious reliance interests engendered by the DV-
2020 program. Defendants must, in addition to demonstrating that there are good reasons
for the new policy, offer “a reasoned explanation . . . for disregarding facts and
circumstances that underlay or were engendered by the prior policy.” FCC v. Fox
Television, 556 U.S. 502, 515 (2009).
2190. Plaintiffs were harmed and continued to be harmed by these unlawful acts.
Second Claim for Relief
Agency Action Without Observance of Procedure Required by Law
In Violation of 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(D)
2191. Plaintiffs reallege the forgoing allegation as if set forth fully herein.
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 301 of 308
258
2192. The APA requires administrative agencies to follow notice-and-comment
rulemaking procedures to promulgate substantive rules. 5 U.S.C. § 553.
2193. The Administrative Procedures Act defines “rule” broadly to include “the whole or
part of an agency statement of general or particular applicability and future effect designed
to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or describing the organization,
procedure, or practice requirements of an agency and includes the approval or prescription
for the future of rates, wages . . .” 5 U.S.C. § 551(4).
2194. The Department promulgated and relied upon the policies, procedures, and
practices suspending adjudication and issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program
selectees and their derivative beneficiaries without authority and without notice-and-
comment rulemaking. It is therefore unlawful.
2195. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending adjudication and
issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries constitutes a substantive rule subject to the APA’s notice-and-comment
requirements.
2196. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication
and issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries constitute a substantive rule because it affirmatively circumscribes the
Department’s Congressional mandate and nondiscretionary duty to adjudicate and issue
decisions for immigrant visas for DV-2020 selectees.
2197. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication
of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 302 of 308
259
constitute a substantive rule because it is a categorical rule, which applies to all DV-2020
selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.
2198. In implementing the Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending
the adjudication of immigrant visas for the DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries, Defendant impermissibly announced a new rule without undertaking notice-
and-comment rulemaking.
2199. The Plaintiffs were harmed and continue to be harmed by these unlawful acts.
Third Claim
Agency Action Not Concluded
Within a Reasonable Time 5 U.S.C. § 555(b)
2200. Pursuant to the APA, the Defendant has a nondiscretionary duty “to conclude a
matter presented to it” “within a reasonable time.” 5 U.S.C. § 555(b),
2201. The Department has failed to adjudicate immigrant visas for DV-2020 program
selectees and their derivative beneficiaries within a reasonable time.
2202. The Department has implemented policies, procedures, and practices suspending
adjudications and issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries since at least March 2020 – six months before the statutory conclusion of the
DV-2020 program.
2203. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending adjudications and
issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries is a
final agency action. It is the consummation to the Department’s agency on this matter.
2204. The Department has nothing further to do to issue directions to its employees at the
KCC or its consular officers at US Embassies and Consulates around the world regarding
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 303 of 308
260
suspending adjudications of immigrant visas for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries.
2205. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudications
for and issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries will have legal consequences.
2206. The Department will continue to refuse to adjudicate and issue immigrant visas for
DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries through September 30,
2020, effectively ending the DV-2020 program.
2207. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices directing employees at the
KCC and the US Embassies and Consulates around the world to end the DV-2020 program
are not authorized by any governing law, and are arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of
discretion, and in violation of law.
2208. Defendant administers the Department’s policies, procedures, and practices
suspending the DV-2020 program.
2209. Pursuant to the APA, a court may compel agency action “unlawfully withheld or
unreasonably delayed.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(1)
2210. The Plaintiffs were harmed and continue to be harmed by these unlawful acts.
Fourth Claim
Mandamus Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1361
2211. Plaintiffs reallege the foregoing allegation as set forth full herein.
2212. Defendants have a clear non-discretionary duty to adjudicate immigrant visa
applications and issue visas to DV-2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries who
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 304 of 308
261
are eligible to receive them and not inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a), so long as visas
are remain available.
2213. PP 10014 and PP 10052 do no prohibit the issuance of diversity visas that must be
issued by September 30. It simply issues a temporary bar on entry to the United States.
2214. Defendant have a mandatory duty to adjudicate diversity immigrant visa
applications and issue diversity immigrant visas to statutorily eligible individuals, and there
is no legal bar to doing so. Accordingly, Plaintiffs have a clear and indisputable right to
relief, and Defendants have clear, nondiscretionary duty to act.
2215. No alternative remedy exists to compel Defendants’ action.
Fifth Claim
Violation of the Take Care Clause, Art. II, § 3, Cl. 5
2216. Plaintiffs reallege the foregoing allegations as if set forth fully herein.
2217. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices violate the President’s
constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” U.S. Const. art. II
§ 3, cl. 5.
2218. The Supreme Court has made clear that the Take Care Clause is judicially
enforceable against presidential invocations of dispensing power. See, e.g., Kendall v.
United States, 37 U.S. (12 Pet.) 524m 612-13(1838); Angelus Milling CO. v. Comm’r Of
Internal Revenue, 325 U.S. 293, 296 (1945).
2219. The Take Care Clause limits the President’s power and ensures that he will
faithfully execute the Congress’s laws – no rewrite them under the guise of executive
“discretion.”
2220. In this case, the President has taken action to end the law and its mandated
administration Diversity Visa Program by suspending the Department’s adjudication and
Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 305 of 308
262
issuance of immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative
beneficiaries.
2221. The Defendant cannot faithfully execute the law by directly contravening
Congress’s objectives.
2222. The Plaintiffs were harmed and continue to be harmed by these unlawful acts.
