For many of us who feared that our hopes of starting a new
life at the United States of America (USA), we may have to
think again because an independent expert who deals in
international trade, Emmanuel Opoku Acheampong has
revealed that this is never the case.
Sharing his thoughts on the DV lottery program, Mr Opoku
Acheampong made the case that the program continues to
operate in full force and that interested Africans can still
sign on to the program.
There were earlier claims that the new administration of the
US under the leadership of President will not only be
repealing the program but also endorsing a new bill titled “
Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment
Act”.
The DV Visa won’t be the only casualty. Other visas will
also be affected. Currently, you can apply for a green card if
you are the spouse or child of a U.S. citizen. You can also
apply as an unmarried son or daughter, a parent, brother or
sister of a U.S. citizen. The Raise Act proposes to abolish
these relationships.
What this means is that the number of persons who will
now be enjoying the gains of the DV Program would now be
cut down by half – a development which would mean a
strict assessment of all applications.
So far, over 150,000 Ghanaians have benefited from the
American DV Program with over 500,000 expected to
benefit from the program.
