If you want to be out of the US for up to two years, you can apply for a reentry permit ( form I131 ). It will protect your GC ( you wouldn't loose it, that's the purpose of the form ), but it wouldn't protect your continuous residency for Citizenship. However, keep in mind that the "trip"...

After the "dictionnary", you need to tell me what is your status : do you alerady live in the US ? ( so could you choose betweeen CP and AOS ? ) You said you already sent the forms back to KCC, so you already said CP or AOS ( if choice possible ). You are a DV07 winner. For this period...

Common terms important for DV winners: GC = Green card ( ! ) NL = Notification letter ( aka 1st package ) : the big enveloppe you received with your case number KCC = Kentucky Consular Center ( where the NL came from ! ) contact : kccdv@state.gov , and (606) 526-7500 ( US phone...

1) I do not think you would be granted an interview date if there are no more DV GCs available. ( for CP ) KCC and Consulates schedule interview and attribute a visa number. I do not think you would get an interview: the cutoff number on the bulletin would simply remain the same. 2) of...

No, the sealed enveloppe does not contain the real GC. It contains papers that will be sent to a processing, which will then send your plastic card. The officer will tell you that it can take up to about 10months to get the plastic card. My husband and I received received ours within 4weeks...

Look, I don't want to start a fight on this. Are you a CPA having read entirely the tax treaty for US/FRance? I don't think so. I read the treaty because it was important for my situation. And I know for sure that this treaty ( US/ France ) clearly says that if you become a Legal Permanent...

TheRealCanadian : maybe you're right. But I know for sure that this does not work for the tax treaty France/US. It might for others though.

There are changes in taxes. Usually once one becomes a LPR, he/she can no longer claim tax treaty benefits ( if there is such a treaty ). As a F1 student awarded with Fellowships award, the tax treaty France/US was making my award totally tax-free. When I became a LPR, the treaty was no longer...

My husband and I hired one. I was ready to pay to get my peace of mind. But, the information I received from him is no different than what's here. If your case is straightforward, you really do not need one. Especially now that you've discovered the forum ! ( I didn't : if Ihad, I wouldn't...

I agree with Anahit. I just showed both so that the officer had translated documents. But this was not needed as for CP in France, both french or english documents are accepted.

I do not see a problem. I woyuld even say it's the opposite : creating a business in the US definitely shows your interests/ties .

The Lottery program does not care about your country of citizenship ( as it can be acquired ). The important thing is where you were BORN.

You can read my own DV experience here in the forum. You will see that I got married after receiving the NL. My lawyer advised to get married and then send the forms for both of us. I know some people who fisrt sent their forms, then got married and resent the forms for both. ( this way...

Having a low case number is in some way a better chance to get the GC as you are more likely to be current ( your case number ), thus to get an interview date. That's even more true if you do AOS, as this process usually takes more time. With a case number < 2000 for EU, you are likely to...

By applying for a reentry permit ( form I131, there is a fee ), you can protect your GC for up to 2 years (if that's the first you apply for ) : it will protect your LPR status if you want to live and/or work outside the US. However, it won't protect the continuous residency ( time counted...

Qili, please STOP : don't you have anything better to do ?! All you do is criticize JoeF. JoeF is at least trying to help, and you are not. So unless you can give some real advice, or ask a relevant question, you shouldn't post anything.

I guess the real question is here. And, you should say no, as you are supposed to be willing to work legally. The sentence of question '30 e' continues and gives an example for a medical position: you should not perform medical procedures if you have not been certified.

If you look at the date, the original post here ( the one from vk96 with June numbers ) is dated April 7th.
