US Suspends Green Card Lottery After Shooting; Indians Unaffected
- •Trump administration suspends the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) Program, also known as the green card lottery.
- •The suspension follows a shooting at Brown University, where the suspect allegedly entered the US via the DV program.
- •This move is part of a broader tightening of US immigration policies under the Trump administration.
- •Indian applicants are not directly affected by this specific suspension as India is already ineligible for the DV lottery until at least 2028 due to high immigration numbers.
- •However, other Trump policies, like increased vetting for H-1B and H-4 visas, continue to impact Indian migrants.
Why It Matters: US suspends Green Card Lottery due to security concerns, but Indians remain unaffected by this specific change.
