My spouse won the greencard lottery 2010AF165XX. Based on her case number I expect her to be current by February/March 2010. I am F1 status under EAD(OPT), my wife has valid F2 status (current OPT and valid F2 Visa) but lives in France and often visit me in USA.
Question 1 : Does she has the option to file either CP or AOS?
Question 2: As the spouse (me) living in US and wife being the main applicant living in France, should I favour consular processing versus AOS, as I have been told that as I am not the main applicant my case will take even longer for AOS?
Question 3: Also conditions to file CP is that you should go to your home country or your last resident country. France is the resident country of my wife, I was temporary resident 5 years ago, but my last residence country was another european country and my home country in africa, is this an issue?
Thanks
