NIGERIA NOT ELIGIBLE FOR AMERICAN 2015 DIVERSITY VISA

 Nigeria and some other countries will no longer be eligible to participate in the America Diversity Visa lottery programme. Information from the United States Department of State yesterday said Nigerians and citizens from few other countries were not eligible for the DV-2015, because Nigeria has had over 50,000 immigrants into the United States in the last five years. The department listed among other countries not eligible as Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El-Salvador and Haiti. Diversity visas are said to be distributed among six geographic regions, while no single country could receive more than seven percent of the available space in any year.
