jegol Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi everybody, I need some help. I am here in the U.S. with a J-1 visa and got the J-1 waiver. I got a DV lottery (DV-2011)and I am waiting my DV rank number to be current. Is it possible to apply for DV lottery by consular processing while on a J-1 visa waiver? I appreciate your help Link to comment
Attorney_6 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 If a person is "on" the J-1 waiver, I presume you are a doctor working out the 3 year period of service. If so, while the waiver has been granted, it is not possible to move forward with either the AOS OR CP until the service has been completed. The lottery works on a fiscal year basis. If the case is not completed/visa not issued by the end of the fiscal year, the opportunity ends. Link to comment
jegol Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thank you for the help. By the way, I am not a doctor. Since I am not a doctor, can I still I apply for the DV lottery by consular processing after the J-1 waiver? Thanks Link to comment
Belle Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think you need a consultation with a lawyer. Link to comment
