Akua Poku is a Ghanaian immigration lawyer in the US who shares tips for people who want to travel abroad, especially to the United States.
She has shared four dangers one may face after applying for the Diversity Visa lottery, popularly known as the American lottery.
In a TikTok video, Akua Poku said that although the visa lottery has several advantages, there are also threats one must be aware of before applying.
According to Akua Poku, the first danger is that the US Department of State will store all information about entrants. She added that the information can and will be used against the applicant where necessary.
The second threat is that applying for the lottery can lead to problems with future non-immigrant visa applications to the US.
The next is that inconsistent information can affect ones chances of travelling to the US. It could also lead to a potential visa denial or ban.
She added that applying for the US lottery several times can cause an expedited removal if one ever gets to travel to the country.
“My final advice is this, think carefully before you apply for the Diversity Visa lottery programme. Because the information you submit and just the fact of participating can affect you.”
Registration for the 2026 Diversity Visa Lottery is from October 2, 2024, to November 5, 2024.
