“End the 2025 Travel Ban on Sudanese (DV LOTTERY) winners ”

My name (g)  a Sudanese mother and one of the 2025 Diversity Visa (DV Lottery) winners.

When I received the selection notice, it felt like a miracle — a door opening to safety, dignity, and a future for my family. We had been living through the horrors of war in Sudan. There was no U.S. embassy operating in our country, no safe path to stability. So we made the painful decision to leave everything behind — our home, our belongings, and the life we had — just to complete our immigration process in another country.

We did everything right.

We paid the fees.

We prepared our documents.

We followed every instruction with patience and hope.

And then, without warning, a new travel ban came down — and with it, our hopes were destroyed.

We are not criminals. We are not threats. We are people — ordinary people — who believed in the promise of America. We believed that if we followed the rules, we would be given a fair chance. Now, after everything we’ve been through, we are being turned away not because we did something wrong — but because of a blanket decision that doesn’t see our individual humanity.

We are willing to provide every document needed to prove we are peaceful, law-abiding, and hopeful people. All we want is the chance to live in a safe country where we can rebuild our lives in peace.

Please help share our story. Please help remind the world that behind every “travel ban” are real human beings who have already lost so much — and who are just asking for the right to dream.

Sincerely,

DV Case Number: [2025AS8xxx]
