Hello, I am currently on H1B, but when I was on F1 visa, I worked remotely for a company located in Moscow in 2019 for 7 months (unpaid internship). Do I need to include it as work experience when doing AOS? I want to avoid problems as I heard that it is not legal to work while on F1.

You’re supposed to truthfully fill out your forms. So use your discretion on this.
Hello to all,
I am currently in the US under a J1 visa that started March 2023 and going until March 2024. I am from France.
I got selected for the DV-2024 and my first question is: should I follow a process of AOP or CP according to my type of visa? Sorry if this question has already been asked.
Also on that matter, I started looking at the DS-260 questions and the first question is already a big one in my case: should I be having my interview in France or in the US? I guess if I am doing an AOS I will have it done in the US?
Thank you so much in advance!

1. That really is your personal call. Yes, you’re eligible to process AOS if you wish. Start by taking a look at the AOS Process Spreadsheet, especially the Pros and Cons of AOS vs CP.
2. Yes, AOS interview happens in the US. Take a look at the AOS Process Spreadsheet.
Thank you for your answer!!
I am really debating about the AOS and CP, not sure what factors I need to take into account to make that decision.

That’s why I referred you to the Pros and Cons tab of the AOS Process Spreadsheet!
Yes thank you so much!

The proper format can be found both in 1NL (selection letter on ESC) or in dv instruction on DOS pages [1]:

What do you mean 2022/2023? Africa is a continent with lots of embassies with their own timelines. Interviews for DV 2024 will start in October 2023

Definitely YES. That indeed is the 2NL for AOS.
Please note, AOS process is different from CP, so do be careful with the responses being provided on the AOS thread.

No, you cannot file I-485. You really need to read the "AOS Process Spreadsheet" linked in the first post in this thread.
Hi, first time here, and as everybody else I've been selected for the 2024 DV.
I have a EU number in the 18XXX range, so, I guess pretty reasonable.
I'll have to move to a different town/address in late September, and I was wondering how this change of address could impact any application. For example, should I wait to have moved prior to submit the DV fees payment or/and get the medical exam ? Or it doesn't matter and I should secure getting the DV fees payment receipt asap ?
Also, I entered the lottery indicating that I have a dependent, but it is not explicit on the letter. It just states the "Principal Applicant Name", no dependent. Is it normal ?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks and apologies, I will refrain from commenting on AOS stuff unless I am fully sure to avoid misleading people

1. A change of address will have no impact on the AOS application as long as it’s done before sending in your AOS package. No impact on the medical exam (which is currently valid for two years - the validity period could change at anytime though). It may impact receiving the DV administrative fee receipt if the move occurs after making the payment and while waiting for the receipt - unless of course you will still have access to the mailbox for the previous address.
2. Derivatives are not listed on the selectee notification letter.
p.s. number your questions when you have more than one per post.
