The United States has excluded Nigeria from its
2023 Diversity Immigrant Visa programme which
is also known as the green card lottery.
nigeria’s exclusion from the programme makes it
eight years in a row that the US ignored the most
populous African country in the world among
immigrants entering via DVL.


The programme is a government lottery program
offering the chance to applicants from Africa and
other continents of getting the United States
Permanent Resident Card.



About 55,000 persons apply for visas to enter the
US through Diversity Visa Lottery (DVL), but the
US in this year’s programme stated that over
50,000 citizens from Nigeria have relocated to the
world’s largest economy for greener pastures in
the last five years.




Nigeria’s the only African country
excluded
According to the instructions in the 2023 DV
programme, Nigeria is the only African country
not included to participate this year.
It says, “For DV-2023, natives of the following
countries are not eligible to apply because more
than 50,000 natives of these countries
immigrated to the United States in the previous
five years.
