Nicaragüenses entre los afectados por la suspensión de la lotería de visas de EEUU
En teoría hasta casi 4 mil ciudadanos de Nicaragua eran elegibles este año para obtener la llamada greencard
TL;DR
- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has suspended the Diversity Visa (DV) program.
- The suspension follows a mass shooting incident at Brown University where the perpetrator had entered the country on a DV visa.
- The shooter, identified as Claudio Neves Valente from Portugal, is also suspected in the murder of a Portuguese professor from MIT.
- The DV program, or 'diversity visas,' allows citizens from specific countries to obtain a 'Greencard' for legal residency in the U.S.
- This suspension is part of broader immigration restrictions implemented by the Trump administration.
- Nicaragua was among the Latin American countries eligible for the visa lottery, with nearly 4,000 Nicaraguans potentially benefiting annually.
- Selection in the lottery does not guarantee a visa; applicants must meet additional requirements and undergo background checks.
