Hi All,
I am a researcher in J-1 status, WITHOUT HRR. My visa will expire at the end of 2013 and I'd like to apply to the Green Card Lottery.
However, I was told that applying to the lottery jeopardizes the issue of a new visa stamp (which I must obtain in December) since the Green Card Application violates the nonimmigrant purpose of the J-1.
Is this true?
Thanks for the help,
Francesco
