Can indians in tech participate?
Tech doesn't matter but country of birth does. Sorry India. Quote: For DV-2023, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply, because more than 50,000 natives of these countries immigrated to the United States in the previous five years: Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (including Hong Kong SAR), Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, Venezuela, and Vietnam.
OP, "my country does not qualify" should be an option.
I won last year and now I'm wondering if I should change country for the 3rd time in my life:-)
