Can investors from Vietnam participate in the EB-5 visa program? We know that the U.S. does not let Vietnam citizens participate in the green card visa lottery. Has this been extended to other visa categories?

Immigration AttorneysYes, investors from Vietnam may participate. The diversity lottery program is a very specific program designed to encourage people to immigrate to the United States from countries that are traditionally under-represented among immigrant populations in the United States. There are a number of countries that do not participate in the diversity lottery. However, anyone, regardless of nationality or citizenship, may participate in the EB-5 program.
