Hello everyone,
I have a few questions that I was hoping I could get some assistance with, as I have spent countless hours reading the rules for entering the DV-Lottery and unfortunately could not find an answer online.
1.
I don’t have a highschool diploma, as I left to work straight after my 10th grade, in which I came out with great grades (11 years of school including grade 0 which comes right before 1st grade).
I’ve been working since I was 13 as a waitress as well as many other jobs (sale, bartending, office work), but 95% of the time it was in the hospitality business as I have 19 years of experience.
I know that waitressing is certainly not the same in the U.S. as here in Denmark, unfortunately, as I have both worked at Michelin starred restaurants, worked at restaurants were we could host 730 guests at a time, etc.
The education of becoming a waiter/waitress in Denmark takes 4 years of study, but on the *O Net database it doesn’t count as it’s only a jobzone 1 and SVP under 4.
I was wondering if there’s another job title that, it could be accepted under?
2.
I graduated as an Actress after 2 years of studying from the most prestigious acting school there is, in New York, they told me they would be considered as a Vocational School, now I see that, that too isn’t sufficient, or can I combine that with my work experience, to make up for not having a highschool diploma?
My work as an actress (which I have the required years of experience with) is not more than the required job zone 7, but writer is. I do write, but I have more experience with acting.
However, the entire description of writer, fits more to what I do when I prepare for a role, research for character, etc. Than the one of a writer.
In 2016 I applied for the O-1 Visa (unfortunately the lawyer I had, was a scam, so that did not go through) however, I still have all the letters of recommendation from producers, actors, directors, casting directors from the industry that I have worked with, as well as proof and pay stubs that I have and still are working as an actress both in DK and in the U.S.
I think there is about 130 pages. Could I bring those to the interview along with the description of the writer occupation (as writer has an SVP of 7-8) as a description of what I do as an actress? And would that be accepted to be eligible to apply for the DV-Lottery?
Thank you very much for your time.
Have a great day.
