SAFE for America Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Collins, Mike [R-GA-10]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would _eliminate the Diversity Visa (DV) program_ from the Immigration and Nationality Act. It would remove the statutory basis for the DV lottery and revise many cross-references in immigration law to reflect that removal, with the changes taking effect on October 1, 2025.

Show full summary
  • Prospective diversity-visa applicants. People who would have used the DV lottery lose that pathway to permanent residence after the effective date.
  • Federal immigration agencies and legal practitioners. The bill redesignates subsections and updates cross-references across several INA provisions, including sections 101, 201, 203, 204, 214, 216, and 245, so the statute reads consistently without the DV program.
