India will continue to be excluded from the U.S. Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery, commonly called the “green card lottery” for at least the next several years, likely through 2029. The country remains ineligible because the number of Indian nationals immigrating to the United States each year far exceeds the program’s limits.
Meanwhile, ongoing backlogs in H-1B and employment-based (EB) green card categories have made the path to permanent residency even more challenging for skilled Indian professionals already living and working in the U.S.
The U.S. Diversity Visa (DV) program or the green card lottery is designed to encourage immigration from countries with low migration rates to the United States, specifically those that have sent fewer than 50,000 immigrants over the previous five years.
India far surpasses that threshold, sending more than 60,000 immigrants to the U.S. each year. As a result, it remains automatically ineligible for the program, a status that is unlikely to change before 2029.
In 2022, more than 127,000 people from India immigrated to the United States, surpassing the total number of newcomers from entire continents such as South America, Africa, and Europe.
According to data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), this high volume of migration means India will continue to be excluded from the Diversity Visa lottery for at least the next three cycles — 2027, 2028, and 2029.
Along with India, countries such as China, South Korea, Canada, and Pakistan will also remain ineligible for the upcoming DV-2026 lottery because they exceed the annual immigration threshold.

With the lottery option off the table, Indian nationals seeking permanent residency in the U.S. have only a few alternatives. Most pursue a green card by transitioning from an H-1B work visa, applying through family sponsorship, investing under immigration programs, or seeking asylum.

Oh man! IBK (in before kiryanril )
I voted for this.
L
LOL, I thought it was something else when I glanced at it and maybe because India is a very big garbage dump ,LOL
In the suburbs, there are the liberal soccer moms as well as the Indian job stealer who scammed their way to US citizenship.
Trump is putting the wood to India for buying Russian oil. Stopping the influx of Indian H1Bs is a cherry on top. Having retired from IT I have resentment for cheap labor Indian H1Bs replacing American IT workers.
Aren’t you a British Subject?
India hoes mad.
Aren’t you a British Subject?
ME TOO!
President Trump is going to deport your girlfriend Kiryandil back to India.
Another ✅on the list of what I voted for!
My congressional district is now indigo blue. Beth Van Duyne is no longer my Congressman. It now belongs to Julie Johnson, who replaced Colin Allred.
Past due. Ban ALL Incoming from India for the next 100 years unless you want the USA to turn i to a third world, blue elephant worshipping caste society. Once they gain political power they are changing everything over to Indian names and traditions. They have taken over entire small cities already and it is not being discussed.
There should be no Diversity Visa program at all. Evaluate immigrants and temporary workers by their health, their skills, and their ability to contributed to the US economy. Unhealthy individuals who pose a public health risk and anyone with not capable of being self supporting due to health conditions or marketable skill set should be rejected. Anyone who has committed a crime or belongs to an organization opposed to the US or involved in terrorism should be rejected. Any potential immigrant of Visa holder who has publicly defamed or stated hatred for this country should not be admitted. Country of origin, race, religion, gender or ethnicity should not be a factor in immigration decisions.
Refugees who claim some fear or hardship in their native countries should no longer be admitted for those reasons. The only reason to accept an immigrant is if that immigrant will contribute to the general welfare of the country, not be a burden on society, and is supportive of the American system of government as well as the free enterprise system.
Given the unprecedented number of immigrates (legal and legal) admitted over the past 30 years it is time for a serious debate as to how many immigrants of any kind should be admitted each year. The tens of millions who have poured into the country over the last 30 years have overwhelmed public services in many communities and many immigrants have not assimilated well. Illegal immigration should be ended completely and any illegals deported. Legal immigration should be limited to numbers the nation can absorb each year without burdening the taxpayer at the federal, state or local level.
Kick out the Indians.
Kick out the Chinese.
Not tired of winning yet.
And his first year isn’t even finished yet.
What is Trump trying to pressure India to give us?
