I'm a dv lottery winner with a high case # 2009AF44xxx. I live with my wife and both we have valid student visas (F1). My wife doen't wan't want to participate because of the risks involved. If I communicate to kcc and and tell them to remove my wife because she isn't interested will it bring any complications?

Which risk is she affraid of?

I don't think it will bring any complication. Just tell them the truth that your wife doesn't want to get the Green Card. They probably will either ask you to send a new forms or tell you to explain it during the interview.

So gerindo are you implying that the primary primary winner can decide to pursue the process and eliminate some family members? Is this acceptable?

"Which risk is she affraid of"?
according to her we 'should not carry all our eggs in one basket', because of delaying of name checks and the limited time to do AOS. At the same time She is not willing to fly home to do CP because of tight school and work schedule.
Being the principle applicant if I can do it a lone without raising red flag I'm ready to take chances.

"tight school and work schedule"? I guess she must be working illegally. Well, if she is, then she can't do AOS or even CP. CP might be a possibility but there might be a risk because of illegal employment.

I'm not implying anything. I'm just saying that if he asked the KCC, the KCC might gives him that options. It should be the rights of the primary applicants if they want to include their family to migrate or not. This doesn't mean he suddenly say that he doesn't have a wife and scartch off his wife name from the list. He still need to ask the KCC for it.

You mean that your wife has a job in the University like as a researcher or professor?

It is really her choice, but I think you and your wife need to discuss it a bit further. Take a break from work or school or work for 1-2 weeks to do CP is common for people who is under F1. I'm sure the University/College will give her the break. Most Americans will understand how important it is for someone to get a Green Card, and I don't think the Universiy/College will held her back for that. When the time is come, show the employer or school the appointment letter from the DoS, and I'm sure their understand why she has to take the time off to pursue with the interview.

It is really a matter of priority in life. Getting a Green Card like this might be once of a life time opportunity that She will miss. Just remind her how much benefit She can get after having a Premanent Resident status compare to having an F1 status, like low tuition cost, free to work anywhere in the U.S, etc.
