US Green Card Lottery Returns to Shake Immigration – But What About India?
The US has restarted the Diversity Immigrant Visa programme, commonly known as the Green Card lottery. This programme offers a chance for individuals from various countries to obtain permanent residency in the United States through a random lottery system. Recently, the US government introduced stricter rules, including a new passport requirement for all applicants.
However, these changes will not affect Indian citizens since India is not eligible for this lottery. The Diversity Visa programme excludes countries with high immigration rates to the US, and India falls under that category. As a result, Indian Green Card aspirants will need to continue exploring other visa options such as:
- Employment-based visas
- Family-sponsored visas
For others eligible in countries with lower immigration numbers, the Diversity Visa lottery remains a valuable opportunity to apply for lawful permanent residence in the US. The new measures aim to ensure better security and proper documentation throughout the application process.
