My visa class is always current

Hi all, I currently have a IV petition pending (likely to be adjudicated in 3-4 months) that is employer sponsored. Say for example I win DV 2015, with a low number, could I proceed with that over proceeding to file I-485 upon IV petition approval? The reason why I ask, is that it just feels...

If you left the U.S. for Guatemala, you would have officially 'left' altogether. The 90-day thing only remains if you travel from the US to Canada, Mexico and I believe Bermuda. In theory, your 90 days should begin afresh from when you enter. If they ask you where you came from, make sure you...

I may be misunderstanding, but are you attempting to change employer? Your R-1 is very specifically tied to one sponsoring organization. To switch to another R-1 organization, they must petition for you (I-129) and you cannot change employer until that is approved. What status are you...

I still get "Based on the information provided, the Entry HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED for further processing for the Electronic Diversity Visa program at this time. More entries will be selected in early October 2012, so please keep your confirmation information until at least that time."

Should you actually be selected in October, how long do you think people actually have to obtain their visa? It seems confusing.

I think it's potentially quiet because most of those who win find these forums *after* they win. That said, we will see. I'd love to know, however - for those who have won.. what is your #.. in the 000's, low hundreds etc? It's possible that for workload purposes they've only released...

Not selected here too; but then the page switched and gave me Directory Listing Denied. Pretty sure at this point that result is right, but I'll give it a check in a few hours just in case every things coming up as not selected (i.e.: the server is screwy).

What is interesting, is that they seem pretty strong on this 'more in October' deal.

How do you guys show evidence of a HS Diploma in the UK? You don't actually get a certificate, so I don't get it. All we get are exam transcripts?

It's pretty clear what's going on.. the servers are jammed :-P Happens.. let's just wait.

Hi there, I'm an R-1 visa holder with a SSN. But, I want to make some investments (options trading). Perhaps a few trades a month, but nothing too extreme. Not much in dollar amounts, likely under $10k Do you know if I'm likely to receive issues? I understand e*trade will send me a 1099...

Hi I was a May 15 selectee before the re-draw and wasn't re-selected in July. I'm on a valid US visa, but I'll be heading out of the country for a week over Xmas. Has anyone encountered immigration issues getting back into the US using your visa, i.e.; they decide you've shown 'immigrant...

Technically not if you changed it *after* and you can provide reasonable evidence/reasoning for the change.

No, You need to go back to your home country.

Waste of time.

The 2012 DV lottery doesn't begin until October, so you will be out of status. You need to either extend your B1 (risky) or do it in your home country.

Yeaaa.. congrats!!

There does seem to be very.. few winners. But perhaps this is normal on the boards (ie: people find the forum later). I notice they're using the same pattern.. 2012EU... etc. Im wondering what'd happen if I sent in my old NL ;)

Sorry, this isn't a religious forum. This is a forum for the DV lottery. Please keep it to topic. Mods, please remove.
