Thanks people for reading my post, i'm new on this forum & need help,
I came here 6 years ago on F1 visa, attended one semester in a 4-year college, never attended school for one academic year on medical grounds which was authorized by a physician and approved by my school. I resumed school a year later with a new i-20 in a two-year college where I'm still studying ( I keep on changing majors
). I met my wife here 3 years a go who was on F1 visa also and we have a 2 year old daughter. Unfortunately she dropped out of school and has been out for more than 2 years now. She feared to reinstate then because of the possibility of denial.
Recently I was notified a bout winning the dvlottery and my interview date is gonna be later this summer because my case # is high reason why I prefer Consular Processing to Adjustment Of Status. During the initial electronic entry I included my wife who does not have a legal status making her ineligible to change status.
I got a few questions please help.
1. During the time i was sick I never left the country will this be an issue when doing consular processing?
2. What a bout being in a junior college for a long time?
3. Is it acceptable for me to go a head with the interview without her since she is not eligible?
4. If I go back home to do consular processing how do I convince the consular officer a bout her absence? Will this appear like fraud? ( if she goes home she will be barred from returning).
5. Should i tell them that she out of status (reason for here absence) will this jeopardise my case?
6. When filling the DS230 forms I know I've to acknowledge that I'm married should I indicate that the wife will not be accompanying me for interview?
7. If the consular officer denies my case will I get an exception (waiver) to come and take care of my daughter? What is the best way forward for me?
I'm so frustrated and sometimes get tempted to put this papers in the trash pin
Thanks for taking your time to read all this stuff.
