Why do certain countries not qualify for the Diversity Visa Lottery?


Why do certain countries not qualify for the Diversity Visa Lottery?

Diversity visas are intended to provide an immigration opportunity for persons from countries other than the countries which send large numbers of immigrants to the U.S. The law states that no diversity visas shall be provided for 'high admission' countries. These countries are those from which a total of 50,000 persons in the Family-Sponsored and Employment-Based visa categories immigrated to the United States during the previous five years.

Go through the free eligibility quiz to check if you can participate in the Diversity Visa Lottery program.
