DV Lottery eligibility: People born in Nepal were eligible to enter DV-2026 under the latest published country list. Green Card Lottery eligibility is normally based on country of birth, not citizenship or residence. Limited alternate-chargeability rules may apply.

The dataset above includes 728,718 qualified entries and 4,097 selected entrants for Nepal. For DV-2026, the U.S. Department of State listed 3,933 prospective applicants chargeable to this country; that total includes selectees, spouses, and children and is not a visa-issuance count.

How this estimate works

The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of selected entrants by the number of entries and multiplying by 100. It describes one historical dataset; it is not a promise of the same result in a future DV program year.

Diversity Visa selection is random among eligible entries and subject to regional and country limits. A valid entry, eligibility, processing, and visa availability all matter. Selection does not guarantee a visa.
