If they don't proceed at all- it would make applying for a visitors visa more difficult as they have shown immigrant intent? Not for an immigrant visa but those are not so easy to get outside of DV...

I think not proceeding with an immigrant visa is a pretty strong demonstration of not having immigrant intent. So - I think that would "wash" with their submission of the forms.

Agreed, but then I would make a point of actually informing them of that decision - not just abandon the application (because some people would abandon for example because they realise they don't actually qualify etc - so to make it clear that they have decided not to proceed).
To whom I have to inform if I decide not to proceed with immigrant visa?KCC, NVC & local Embassy?
If so, it won't affect my sons if they wish to get immigrant visas even on employment basis. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Still I will be allowed to proceed with Diversity Visas if I become a selectee again in future DV lotteries.
I am so grateful to you for replying.

Take the visa. Millions of people applied for this and you are the lucky one. Don't throw this opportunity away.

I've lost track of where in the process you are. NVC have nothing to do with DV cases. KCC if your interview has not been scheduled yet,your embassy if it has been.

If you read the thread, it has been obvious for some number of posts that the OP probably should be questioning whether to proceed or not. Everyone has a different situation....
I am a diploma holder of Russian language. But my carrier is completely different.To practice my carrier in U.S, I have to get qualified in U.S. by doing an exam with several parts. For that one needs time & money as well.
I completed my university education in Ukraine in Russian language after 7 years of undergraduate course.So,at the same time the diploma of Russian language was also awarded. I did not get the chance of practicing the language afterwards. But I can still speak in Russian & understand it.
So, if I decide to immigrate, would this qualification help me to earn a reasonable living in U.S for the time being?
What do you think? Please guide me correctly.

What would you want to use it for?
There are a gazillion native Russian speakers in the US.
And what do you mean by "carrier"? Career? If so, if licensing is tougher it almost certainly means it is worthwhile... Better than having a non-native level of Russian as your main hope for a job of some sort...

I do agree with Susie. It's likely to be extremely tough for a non native Russian to get a job as a Russian language translator in the US.
The truth is most immigrants will not get to start life in the US from the same level they were at back at home. They may have to step down the ladder a step or two, or even three and slowly rebuild their lives. Those who are already aware and open to this idea tend to do alright in the long run.
If your current career is a specialized one requiring schooling and licensing in the US, then it sounds like it's a good career likely to justify the investment in the long run. But in the mean time, ask your self if you currently have some transferable skills which you may use to work in other fields not requiring licensing and consider working in those fields while working on getting licensed in your area of specialization.

Sorry for the spelling mistake. It should be "career".
Thank you so much for replying.That means I have to get the licensing by doing the exams.When I apply for the re-entry permit,would it be accepted as a valid reason for the re-entry permit?
Dear friends,value your opinion very much.

Surely you would have to do the licensing in the US?
The licensing exam consists of several parts. For the first two parts one can sit either in the US or at an allocated exam center in another country. Do you think that they will accept it as a valid reason for the re-entry permit?
If not, please let me know few examples which could be considered for a re-entry permit.
Sometimes it might be difficult for you to understand my English, because I finished my secondary education in my native language & university education in Russian. I learned English as a second language in school.Please excuse me if any inconvenience is caused.
Thanking you all once again for spearing your valuable time for replying.

Since you have the option of completing the licensing exam in the US, I do not see how they will consider the option of choosing to go complete it somewhere else a valid reason to approve the re-entry permit.

Yes, a family based visa would require an I864 Completed by the sponsor.

A derivative visa is one that comes along with another visa, like the child of a DV winner.
If you are talking about filing a petition for an immediate relative once you are a LPR, yes I believe you do need to file an affidavit of support and show that you have enough income or assets to meet the poverty guidelines for you, your dependents and the person/s you are petitioning for. And yes you will need to show income in the US, as well as an address etc there.
