dear all this is a problem dat one of my friend is facing i've copied the exact words wutever he emailed me n its here below. Please give some suggestions as he is in real problem...

Hi I am green card holder through DV lottery from nepal. In my green card there is single maritus status but I am married with 3 kids. The problem is when I filled up the DV form I was in uk, so I didn’t have my family photos with me. Without family photos, DV system didn’t accept my application. So, I choosed unmarried (single) option and summited the application but luckily I won the dv lottery with single maritus status. So, could you suggest me what kind of procedure should I do to get my family here.
 
He should be more worried about his entry not being disqualified because of wrong biographical data, than about bringing his family.

If he is able to do AOS, that is his only chance. CP will disqualify the entry.
 
regarding biographical info

hey raevsky thankx for your reply bt..actually i didnt..get certain things dat u told me..wuts AOS and CP..and by the way he is been here as a permanent residence since lastyear dats when he got his DV visa and. I dunno if you can find him any option if possible..
 
AOS is adjustment of status (getting GC in the US).
CP is consular processing (getting an immigrant visa abroad).

If he is a GC holder already, AOS is not possible for him anyway. And CP is not possible because it will disqualify the entry.
 
so dont you think he might have some other alternative way to bring his family to US..any other option..

Raevsky... here is a question for you. Does he even qualify to enter the lottery for himself if he is already an LPR. My take is his win is a non-starter.
 
medpharm thanxx..for ur comments..but you are kinda confused we are not talkin about he applying for the lottery but rather we are talkin about he bringing his wife and kids to USA. And when he enteredthe lottery thing he entered as single bt..infact he was married so now he is having problems..
 
GC holder generally could be processed via CP without surrendering GC. When his new immigration category differs from the old one.
Is not clear whether his category is different or not. For instance, DV-1 and DV-2 are different categories. As well as DV-1 and DV-6.
But here it does not matter - GC holder can be processed only via CP, not via AOS. And CP option is not available because he did not mention his spouse or child in the electronic entry.

Thanks for clarification. As was mentioned he applied as a single applicant thus as i was saying how likely will he qualify to change his status to include his dependents. Hence my comment that his application and win was a non-starter base on the fact the he filed as single without dependent does not allow an option for this person regardless of the DV category he falls into.
 
He cannot do AOS because he is a GC holder. He cannot do CP because he did not mention his spouse and children.
So, there is no way for him to use this winning notification.
 
Does it say anywhere that he received another winning notification??? The way I understood it: He lied in the initial application, the forms he sent back after the notification letter and at the interview. Nevertheless, he received his immigrant visa and is now a greencard holder. Now he wants to bring his family over.
He can wait till he's a US citizen and then file a petition for them. The problem is, I've heard stories about permanent residents who got kicked out of the US because it came out that they lied on their original application for the visa. And I assume when you want to become a citizen, they look at the file in more detail. The other option is that he now files a petition for his wife and kids: They fall in category 2A and according to the current visa bulletin, they are now dealing with people who filed the petition in April 2004. So your friend will have to wait a long time... that's what you get for lying.
 
Dai, sunnu - kura yasto ho. DV ko rules anusar kasaile afno original entry ma afno family ko sabai sadasya ko photo ra naam rakhena bhane -- tyo manche le rules anusar DV paunu nai lucky ho. Telle paile nai sabai ko photo halnu parne ho -- rules nai tyasto ho. Aba btelle jhan afno family chha bhane bhani tyo pani disqualify hunchaa -- tyo bhanda pani telle ta jhut bolyo ni -- tyasaile tyo lifetime US bata ban huncha -- kei gari tini haru le tyasko family chha bhanera tha paye bhani. Aba family lagne aas ta chade huncha. Tara paacnh barsa pachi tyo manche citizen bhayera affno family lai lyaunu parchha. Tara tyo manche leti american authorities lai affu le DV ma jhut bolya tha huna dinu hundaina.

Ani tyo manche ta sacchi nai ullu raheccha. Tyasto gadha le America gayera ke po garne ho kunni? Telle afu lai dubayo.

EXPLAINED!!! In his native language.
 
Roben -- first you need to make it clear to us(In English!!!) what actually happened -- the details. First, it is really not clear whether he already has got his greencard or not. Second, he won in which year, what is(was) his case number, if he already has his green card -- where did he do his interview. Please make the facts clear.

To the others: I highly doubt whether he did AOS(if he already has his green card i mean -- because the signs are that he was in the Kingdom, not the US) -- and its not use explaining things to him -- he does not know the difference between AOS and CP. So if you have any suggestions, post it here and i will translate it for him.

Dai, tyo details nabhaye bahne help garna garo huncha, so please maile sodheko sabaio details bhannu.
1. Winner of DV in which year?
2. Case Number: Approx
3. Where does he live right now?

And it's confusing : Does he already have his US Green card?

Raevsky I don't get one thing. Lying is lying after all, why would CP be more dangerous than AOS. Do you mean that the embassy folks here will somehow find out that he is married? Is that why, i mean as opposed to AOS where they have no way of checking for whether he has a spouse in his home country.
 
What I mean is the following.
If you do not include your existing spouse or child on the electronic form, but then include them on DS-230 form, the entry must be disqualified. The reason for denial is not misrepresentation. It is 212(a)(5)(A). That is not necessarily the case when the same happends on I-485 form. USCIS is not bound to the same rule.

If you hide your spouse or child on DS-230 as well, you could get an immigrant visa, if the consulate does not catch you. But later you could be deported for fraud.
