Hi everyone,
I have been selected for further processing in the 2014 diversity visa program. My case number is 2014AS0000800X. Currently I am finishing my master in USA in July on my F-1 Visa and I have applied for OPT from 7/30/13-7/29/14(if approved). I didn't know that I have been selected when I sent out my opt application. Now I am planing to apply for AOS. However, I am worried that my opt will be expire by the time my interview time is scheduled since according to DV2013, case numbers around 8000's are started to process in June and it usually take long for AOS to be processed (Right?). Can I apply for CP even if I am in the states? Do I need to go home when my visa interview is schedule? Also, if I do apply through CP, when do I know if I get the visa? Thanks.
