Hey guys, i have a kind of unique situation.
I just got my conditional greencard through my husband but its only for 2 years, also i got a letter informing me that i have been selected for the DV 2006 greencard, the question i have is, should i ignore these forms, can i file for the DV 2006 although i have a conditional green card. I have been having marital problems and i dont know if my hubby is gonna stick around long enough?
So if anyone has had the same experience please let me know..
I would really appreciate your help
 
yes, you can go through consular processing for DV, get an immigrant visa, enter on it, and thus become a DV immigrant, istead of a conditional one. :) Congratulations!

and what should she put as current status? Legal Permanant Resident? How can you apply for AOS when you are already an LPR?

i didn't say she could apply for AOS. I said she can get an immigrant visa.

Correct...but for that, she will have to be divorced first right? Else, she does not need an immigrant visa to enter USA. Am I missing something?
 
this is confusing

But the DV just let you enter legally to the US for the intent to be a permanent resident. DV is not a green card, they just granted an immigrant visa (to enter to the US). I found this in the Deparment of the State:

15. MAY WINNING APPLICANTS ADJUST THEIR STATUS WITH USCIS?

Yes, provided they are otherwise eligible to adjust status under the terms of Section 245 of the INA, selected applicants who are physically present in the United States may apply to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for adjustment of status to permanent resident. Applicants must ensure that USCIS can complete action on their cases, including processing of any overseas derivatives, before September 30, 2006, since on that date registrations for the DV-2006 program expire. No visa numbers for the DV-2006 program will be available after midnight on September 30, 2006 under any circumstances.

If she is already have a green card (conditional in this case for less than 2 years of marriage), she already passed this. Do you can apply twice for AOS? if you already have an AOS done.
 
people, do you not read my posts? I said - she cannot do AOS, but she can get an immigrant visa, and immigrate all over again on a DV visa. Even if she fails to get a DV visa, her GC is not taken away.

She does not have to divorce.

Having a permanent residence in one category doesn't preclude you from getting it in another category. Read the law.

I read your post, but for me it doesn't make sense that you go back to rent a car if you already have one.
Of course she can apply for a DV immigrant visa and make all the paperwork again.
My knowledge is that you can apply for different ways to obtain a green card if you don't have one, not when you already have one.
But at the end is the choice of each one. And better check out with the USCIS if having already a GC you can apply again for another way without depending of your spouse.

good luck,
