DV lottery while asylum pending

AlohaPete said:
Before tooting your horn you should go back and re-read my first post. I clearly stated MY unique situation and asked for response from people who were in different stages of that same situation. Your initial response was not on point with any of my questions. And lastly, show me if you can, one person who posted on this site who was in the EXACT situation as me and had success in obtaining the Diversity Lottery Visa. ... Then perhaps you can toot your horn.

Wow. Well done. With your childish attitude you have managed to piss off the foremost expert in the country who knows more than anyone else about how to handle DV adjustment of status cases (and has helped a number of asylum DV cases, as well as hundreds of other DV adjustment cases). Maybe you should get control of your arrogance and figure out a way to reset your standing here. And if you don't want to do that - good luck with finding help with your case elsewhere.

In the dv forum sm1smom directed you to, there are a number of cases of successful asylum based adjustment cases in the AOS threads for each year. I’m not sure why you think your position is “unique” (indeed if it is there by definition can’t be anyone who is in the EXACT situation as you require). Yes, it takes a little time to search and find the previous DV asylum cases but they are certainly there. No one here is going to do the search for you (“show me if you can”)... and sm1smom very accurately responded that almost no one hangs around after their case is completed so your expecting responses from them is going to be a long wait.
 
Hi I’m being asking for asylum in US and my decision is still pending. I’ve included my spouse in my application but he doesn’t has any life threats so can he apply for dv lottery?

You both can apply for DV lottery. But if you win depend on your pre asylum status you may not get the green card.
 
Can only he apply for it? Because of my asylum case I don’t want to include me in his dv application. He’s out of status. But he’s working as an Engineer through the asylum EAD.

If you are married he has to include you on his DV application. Otherwise it is not true application. He would be t denied if they see you are not included his wife in his application even if he wins.

He did mentioned that he’s married. But there wasn’t any questions which asked my info.

That’s not possible. The system will not allow him to submit his entry without your information if he selected the correct marital status. If he selected married, he must have included your information. If he was able to submit his entry with your information, then he must have stated he’s not married which will be a lie.

As the @Sm1smom responded it is impossible to have included a spouse and not include their information.
Why would not want to apply for DV lottery?

What would happen to your asylum case if you apply?

I still don't get your problem.

There are so many people who have applied for asylum and dv lottery and got their green card through lottery. You know that, right?

Thank You. Maybe we have to try a new application.

Don't have a duplicate application. That is against lottery rule.
If your husband won you basically can't move on with his application but you can have your own application and add him to your account.

Don’t know why it showed error for spouse details. But we did mention married.

Either that, or that his spouse was USC/LPR.

Sorry mate but I’m confused, I thought you said that an asylum pending petitioner can’t process AOS for DV and here sounds the opposite

Nothing to be confused about. The post you’ve quoted above is a response from 2018 which is no longer applicable.

Hello Sm1smom. I have the same question. Has something happened since 2018 that made it impossible for asylum pending persons to process AOS for DV?

The current political climate for one is no longer the same, and I don’t think I’ve stated it is “impossible” for asylum pending persons to process DV based AOS. A successful outcome is no longer as guaranteed as it used to be in the prior years. A lot of the IOs no longer loosely translate “asylum pending status” when it comes to DV based AOS applications like they did before.

Are you a current DV selectee with a pending asylum case?

Yes, I am :)

Prior to 2018, a DV based AOS application from asylum pending was most likely guaranteed a successful outcome (assuming the applicant hasn’t violated any other immigration law). That hasn’t been the same since then. Some IOs are no longer approving those with just asylum pending without any other underlying status, some will no longer approve those who file for asylum after going out of their authorized stay. Several factors now come into play. Here’s the link to DV 2020 AOS Thread - there are a couple of selectees with asylum pending status, some got approved, some were denied.

Also, there’s a DV based AOS thread for 2021 DV AOS selectees. I suggest you become familiar with it and post about your DV case there if you plan on processing AOS.
