teomanx Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hello all, My wife is a Fulbright Phd. Scholar in US and we have been in US for 3 years. My wife's plan is to graduate on May,2015. My visa status is J2 and my wife's is J1 and we are subject to 2 year home residency requirement based on Govenment Financing. Last week I found out that I won DV Lottery. According to my situation I have explained in the paragraph above, do you think I can get green card? I searched my situation on internet and found out that resideny requirement could be an obstruction in my situation. Isn't there any solution for that? I would appreciate if you could help me about that. Thanks. Link to comment

According to that, do you think should I get a No Objection Certificate from my home government or should I get it from US government? Link to comment
