ECFMG J1 and DV2006? what do you think?

[Baco]

Hello everybody,
I apologize if these quesitons are stupid but I am currently doing my obgyn residency under ECFMG J1 visa (2 yrs HHR, 212e in) I have 6 year left on the J1, anybody can tell me if it is worth to apply for the DV lottery, I don´t know what would happen if I win?
1-Should I apply?
2-If I win should I leave the country for 2 years? will I still be elegilble?
3-If I win should I leave my residency spot and apply for a waiver(research poss).
4-Should I hire a lawyer to help me with the waiver
5-Can the BCIS waive my 2 yrs HRR based on the fact of winning the DV?
Thanks a lot in advance, be optimistic and GOOD luck with the lottery!!

Hello everybody,
I apologize if these quesitons are stupid but I am currently doing my obgyn residency under ECFMG J1 visa (2 yrs HHR, 212e in) I have 6 year left on the J1, anybody can tell me if it is worth to apply for the DV lottery, I don´t know what would happen if I win?
1-Should I apply?

You may, but you will not get Green Card because of HRR.

2-If I win should I leave the country for 2 years? will I still be elegilble?

Immigrant visa can only be issued in corresponding fiscal year running from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30. Therefore, it is impossible to fullfil HRR and obtain a visa.

3-If I win should I leave my residency spot and apply for a waiver(research poss).

Again, there won't be sufficient time.

4-Should I hire a lawyer to help me with the waiver

Probably, but without any connection to DV.

5-Can the BCIS waive my 2 yrs HRR based on the fact of winning the DV?

No.

Thanks a lot in advance, be optimistic and GOOD luck with the lottery!!

You are welcome. In summary DV avenue is not available to you until you are almost done with HRR or waiver job commitment, or obtain a hardship waiver.
