The Diversity Visa Lottery, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery, provides an opportunity for individuals from eligible countries to obtain permanent residency in the United States. The 2020 results brought mixed reactions among Pakistani applicants, reflecting the complex cultural attitudes toward immigration in Pakistan.
In Pakistani culture, family connections and community ties are highly valued. The decision to pursue immigration through programs like the Green Card Lottery often involves extensive family discussions. Many Pakistanis view such opportunities as a means to secure better education and economic prospects while maintaining strong bonds with their homeland through remittances and continued cultural engagement.
The announcement of 2020 results saw successful applicants celebrating with traditional Pakistani sweets and sharing the news through close family networks first, following cultural norms of prioritizing immediate family in important life events. Those who were not selected often found comfort in the cultural belief of “qismet“ or destiny, accepting the outcome as part of God\“s plan while exploring alternative pathways. |
