F1 to J1 to DV? HELP!

Hi - I am getting a little anxious and advice would be appreciated. I am an F1 student in the US and so is my husband, and in 2 weeks we will be changing to J1 (him) and J2 (me). We have won the DV lottery (him, OC4XX), but have not sent back the forms (so as to be able to answer "no" to filing for immigration on the J forms). We are Australian.

First question: will the consulate know we applied for the lottery (esp considering we have not sent the forms back to KCC)?

Second question: if no, wil they ask at the interview?

Third question: if they do, is it going to be a problem?

Fourth question: if we do change, how much of a problem will the waiver be? Australians are not on the skills list and our funding is through the university. The government issues the waivers as a matter of course. What else would need to be done re this?

I am slightly hyperventilating over this, so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!
 
the funding is through the university, but where does the university get the funding? You need to be very careful - any govt financing would jeopardize your chances of GC.

Lucy - thank you for responding. I have to ask though, do you actually KNOW this or are you guessing?

If there is anyone out there with KNOWLEDGE I would appreciate your help. Guesses are simply stressful and unhelpful.
 
ask a lawyer

Dear stressed student

People in this forum help others to the BEST of their Knowledge and they charge nothing for it.
If you want certainty you will have to pay a good lawyer.

Good Luck :)
 
nacho - agreed completely, but curt response and wild guesses are not helpful for anyone. This is an information forum. If Lucy has good reasons for her guesses, it would be helpful to know.
