For the month of September 2026, below are the official cut-off numbers as published in the latest Visa Bulletin For August 2026. Below are the regions or countries and there corresponding September 2026 cut-off numbers.

If your DV-2026 case number is below the number indicated for your region or country, then your case is current for September 2026 and may be scheduled for September 2026 interview. So this concerns case numbers are:
- Case numbers less than 101,250 from the Africa region.
