US Cancels Visa Lottery,
Many Africans Stand To
Lose Out
Posted on Wed 01st May,

Africans could be the big
losers as the United States
reforms its immigration
laws and eliminates the
green card lottery, of
which Africans are the
main beneficiaries.
Half of the 50,000
residence permits handed
out at random each year
are earmarked for Africans.
It is a hugely popular
program that has allowed
hundreds of thousands of
Africans to settle in
America since the mid
1990s.
But the ambitious reform
project under debate now
in Washington, which
would provide papers for
million undocumented
immigrants, contains a
clause that would do
away with the lottery.
In its place would be a
more selective
immigration system based
on skills, career and family
ties.
For years the lottery has
been in the crosshairs of
Republicans, who control
the House of
Representatives and say it
adds no value to the
American economy.
"It's clear that there are
better ways to allocate
visas than to randomly
give them out through a
lottery system," said Bob
Goodlatte, the Republican
who leads the House
Judiciary Committee. "Our
immigration laws
shouldn't be based on the
luck of the draw; rather,
they should be designed
strategically to benefit our
country."
The ‘diversity visa,' as it is
known formally, is set
aside for people from
countries that do not
experience a lot of
emigration. So Mexicans,
Chinese and Filipinos, for
instance, are not eligible.
Africans quickly became
the main ones to cash in.
All applicants need is a
high school diploma or
two years of work
experience.
Between 2010 and 2012,
one in five Africans who
came to the United States
to stay did so through the
lottery. That made it the
third most common
method, at 21 percent of
the total, after family
reunification (43%) and
refugee status or asylum
seekers (23%).
By comparison, in the
same period only 10
percent of Europeans who
became permanent
residents and 3% of Asians
did so through the lottery.
"It has proven to be a way
of helping those who
come from the continent
of Africa, those who come
from a number of other
areas where it is very
difficult to get a visa," said
Sheila Jackson Lee, a
member of the
Congressional Black
Caucus, whose members
are all Democrats.
But in an effort to
preserve the
comprehensive reform
being negotiated for
months by the two
parties, the Democrats and
President Barack Obama
agreed to ditch the lottery.
Representative Charles
Schumer, who authored
the program in 1990, said
it was impossible to keep
it.
Schumer said the system
that will replace it in 2017
is merit-based and will
also give Africans a chance.
On average they are more
educated than people
from other continents. And
English-speaking Africans
would get a boost because
of that language skill.
But Michael Fix of the
Migration Policy Institute
said, "It really probably
won't admit enough
people to offset the effects
of the loss of the diversity
visa for some years after
that. It's a long time away.
It won't be immediately
offset by any means."
The diversity visas would
vanish starting next year
under the reform being
negotiated.
Only four percent of
African immigrants —
compared to 21 percent of
Asians and 22 percent of
Europeans — received a
green card for
employment reasons in
2012.
The National Association
for the Advancement of
Colored People says the
number of African
immigrants will go down
even with the merit-based
system.
"In essence, we're
concerned," said Hilary
Shelton, the NAACP
Washington bureau
director.
Dame Babou, who hosts a
radio show that caters to
Senegalese people in New
York, said the scrapping of
the lottery is
disheartening for Africans.
"Every year many people
thought this was going to
be their year," Babou said.
"Again, what is being
eliminated is hope."

Bicoh: U are not serious man!we are talking about getting a job after passing through school and u are talking about getting admission 2 school.go sitdown jare,wait make we get job first:-PB-);->

true talk jare my broda.

Smuthx: this website doea not look real. Some of the observations.
1. if you open the website, it shows 'untitled document' as the tittle or heading of the website. That heading is not usual for any website even it is designed by a novice webdesigner. which does not seem like a product of a good federal government establishment.

2. Look at bottom of the page. its copyright is ..... systems. All rights reserved but in INEC recuritment portal. INEC uses its own copyright.

3. A major Aptitute test is to take place tomorrow 15th december. Most applicants have not seen the SMS invite and those that have seen it has no venue on it. possibly only the state on it.

4. if you go to that website, you will observe that if you put ANY phone number there after selecting the phone option. it will display ' your appication is being proccesed......be rest assured that we will look at your case'. use any random phone number or any number that does not exist. it will still display 'your application is being proccessed......' which should not be. Any number that is not in their database or that didnt should not diaplay a result.

4. Applicants that applied using the INEC portal. if you login it will still display you have applied for..... position. check in regularly with your e-mail address for any new.........

thats some of the observation. that inec-recuritment.org website may not be real. remember MAY NOT be real is used in conclusion here

I guess also,it may nt real.

[quote author=Edokpia]@nwaribe, did u apply by cv atachment or online application, because i atached mine via email and no response.[/quote I applied via email wit response dat my applicatn has been received

gracealabs: thks jare,u need to tell him to be applying too for job like,cos dis 419 will not pay him,multinational company dat did not have name,you can imagine no specific post and no specific qualification,all are qualified,i beg u need to park well that we are desoirate for job did not means we are not wit our senses,

Abeg lets leave dis 419 alone nd focus on wot we re here 4.

2sexy: Nope.. I read it from start to finish... but I had no time to implement it due to time constrain.
