I'm over the moon!! I won after applying for 10 years.

Could someone please help me with my question?

I currently have an O1 visa. It was approved for that in August 2010. However I have never utilized it. It is still valid for another 2 years.

I am currently in Sydney, Australia.

Am I able to just send off my forms to Kentucky, and apply as usual through the US Consulate in Sydney.

OR

Because I have an O1, I HAVE TO do an Adjustment of Status?

From everything I've read, the process is much quicker and simpler doing it through the consulate here in Sydney. However I'm unsure if technically I'm meant to do an AOS?

Any advice??

your 01 is not yet activated since you are in sidney and did not travel to usa. it is better for you to proceed through cp(consulate processing). It is faster and safetier and less headache. the embassy will just cancel your O1 visa and replace it with the GC visa(greencard visa)

for sure the CO will ask you why you did not activate your O1 visa. you have to give him a solid and logical reason, he will make sure you wont do the same with GC visa............
 
I thought that AOS is for cases when you have faced some problems and it gives you more time to prepear to the interview.
But for sure you can send off your documents to the Kentucky.

AOS is for winners residing in usa under visa status like F1,H1..........
 
Wow Man,
You give us a lot of hope. :) I really like your theory about re-checking our numbers again.It really makes sense. Well, I am not going to destroy my CN until new application period starts for DV-2013. Chosen One, how long do you think we can check our status? I mean whole august or just the first week of august would be enough?

There should be always anxiety because of this newly introduced/confused online checking for the dv-2012. If by post, I think one or much would not be tensed, only just patiently wait for the parcel from KCC, if lucky.

Again, where are about 6,000 Nigerian winners every year??????

Not upto 10-winners in this forum from the July 15th results, (BUT) we have more than 20 winners in the forum from the May 1st result; how come???

Have all the winners of DV2012 have been notified online
on July 15th 2011 or will the winner list be released in batches ?.
 
All the winners have been notified.
There has been some info. that for the past 10 years 34 k dv visas have not been issued.So why dont give these to the 22k.
A guy who had applied numerous times for a visitors visa and had no problem getting it before has been denied.Its believed that its because he filled the Ds and Dsp forms.So those who filled these forms be aware there might be some problems ahead.Take caution...

Question on case numbers

Hi there. I cannot find the info I need anywhere. And have searched many forums and read so many websites! Are the case numbers for each region? If I have a case number that is under 2000, is this a good thing (in that there are 100,000 'winner's), or does it start at 1 for each region, so that if there are only 2,200 for my region, I'm probably going to be out of luck...
 
Come where? The US? I'm a US citizen who has been here for the last 14 years (won DV 97). Coming here was one of the best things that has ever happened to me thank God. Sure things have changed since back in the late 90s but life is far better here than it is (or ever was) back home.

So why are you bitter? Have you encountered anything that would turn you against the same country you're currently living in?

dude what the hell you doing on this forum..is that much boring in prison ??
