Dv Lottery 2008, Cn Eu00023xx1

Hi everybody! After long hours reading through the different posts on the forum, i decided to go ahead with a new thread, since i couldn't find a straight forward answer to a question...AOS versus CP?

Briefly, my situation: my wife received notification letter with the above case number(23XX1). She is on an H4 dependent visa, with me being currently working in US with an H1 valid for 2 more years.

Now, first of all, i think/hope theoretically there is no problem in changing h4 to GC, even though h4 is not alowed to work, so she cannot provide proof of work, although we can show receipts from taxes, my contract/salary and also her university diploma. Am i correct?

And second, do you guys think we stand a chance with this CN? And, is it recommended to go straight to CP, and not think about AOS?
Or...AOS with help from a lawyer?...although not clear if it helps.
Also, for medical exams...can these be done in the US if we choose CP?
Thank you everybody for the time spent helping others...even taking the time to read their posts! :)
 
H4 can get a GC, no problem there.

The problem is that your case number is sooo high, AOS is definitely out of the question. CP - the jury is out on that one. Still a bit high.

http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1770.html check out September bulletins for several years. You'll get an idea of how high your number is. Let's hope you are not from Ukraine.

If you choose CP, you cannot do medicals in the US. You can, however, get all your shots done here (especially, if they are covered by insurance).
 
Thanks for your input LucyMO.
You're right, the number is ridiculously high....but why does it matter the country you are from?
Anyway, we will do CP, although looking at the visa bulletins, looks like it's not the case anymore to see numbers above 20000 for EU region.

I can speculate that in the past when there was paper application to the lottery, the numbers were higher, but not anymore....

Can my wife apply again this year for 2009 lottery?
Thanks guys!
 
yes, it does in your case - but not because of the country of eligibility, but because it's pretty high.
 
High Number

Hi Lucy,

Yesterday my wife and I were jubilant about getting the congratulatory letter...today, not so much....why, u ask?

Well, my number is 2008AF00044###. If I have been reading these posts correctly, it seems WE MAY NEVER :mad: :mad: :mad: even get a shot. Is this just a fleeting hope?

To help clarify our situation, I am a Canadian citizen, working & living in US (born in an Kenya), wife is Kenyan citizen. How can I come to an educated guestimate of whether my number will ever be current, or not?
