Nepal on its way to disqualification for Diversity Visa

If the number of family-based and employment-based green cards for Nepalis increases at the current rate, there are signs that Nepal will be ineligible for the DV Lottery in the next few years. In the last few years, there has been a significant increase in the rate of green card issuance by Nepalis based on family and employment.

Therefore, even if the US embassy increases the rate of immigrant visa interviews and increases the number of visas issued, or even if USCIS increases the rate of approving Nepali green cards based on employment and family, Nepalis will be ineligible for DV in the next few years. The number of Nepalese who are waiting for family and employment-based green cards after their I-130 or I-40 applications have been approved is also very large.
