Ok, let's be clear, not all will qualify using this process, but if u do...jump on it

I just got my GC @ Montreal using the DV process. I kept the DV out of USCIS radar by using (requesting) employer's immigration lawyers, and avoiding filing out an i-539 (or any other doc) that would put me in a hot seat of being asked to clarify how my "applying for DV does not consititute display dual immigrant intent"

So, I have been able to confirm that USCIS & state department systems do not talk to each other by getting out of US to do my medicals, then come back via border POE and still get thru.

If I can do it, so can u.

Good luck to u all.

p.s. Simsd...I was thinking about u when I got the GC...and how u would have made a great adopted son...:D...too bad u missed sending those adoption papers on time.
 
Okay,

So let's be real clear on my end......You had a chance to adopt me and you didn't do it. I know you procrastinated on signing them so I would "Age out".

Gee thanks "Dad".:D

You have not discovered a trick, you simply misunderstood the dual intent law, that's OK, many people don't.

The Diversity Lottery and TN do not pose a problem with dual intent, since the diversity lottery does not give you any status until its approved, in which case, it replaces the TN status with permanent resident status.

Only the combination of TN and I-485 pose the question of ineligibility for a TN extension, since the I-485 gives you the status of AOS .

Thanks for pointing that out. I researched & researched to the wahzooo! but could not find definitive & clear rules that define dual intent, so I prefered to err on the side of caution.

The last thing I wanted is to meet a dimwit officer, who feels pissed of with these "canadian foreign workers", that he performs a deeper search into the system, only to find that I have applied for DV, and hence denies my TN app.

In any case, all that is now gone...a 1.5 yrs wait, all completed in less than a total of 10 mins of face-to-face time @ the Montreal consulate & Vermont POE combined...it was so anti-climatic...I was expecting fireworks and 21 gun salute with fighter jet fly-bys...Oh well...:rolleyes:
 
Which POE?

Dorval (air) or Champlain (land) did you use?

Thanks

Carmen

Does this mean if DV is won one can do AOS being on a TN?

Does this mean if DV is won one can do AOS being on a TN? without problems for the 'dual intent'? or in this case you have to do CP?

thanks

Well they have to be as careful as anyone else either submitting I-485 thru marriage ofr thru job. They need to leave sufficient time on TN to get thru the process.
 
thanks

Yes, but DV has a deadline, they have to be issued within a fiscal year. So the answer would be there is no issues, just be careful so you have enough TN left until the I-485 goes through. Thanks

In a case like this you need to combine what you said with the DV deadline that I am sure you don't know what it is since you were born in Canada and never applied for DV and besides you already have your GC so ...why bother.

Thanks.

Actually, my spouse was eligible for DV, and thus so was I when we applied, so I am quite familiar with DV. In fact, when DV first came out in the late 70's or early 80's I applied then too, since Cdns were then eligible.

Perhaps I shouldn't bother with any of your questions from now on....

so I guess I do pass that test. I was able to help you from the point of not knowing the first thing about DV to the fact that that you could file I-485 under DV, to not only becoming a DV expert, but also becoming expert in my exact immigration history.

Bravo...I deserve a pat on the back.

Thanks for the information, I was just asking a question that after thousands of hours of burning my eyelashes reading and reading still was not clear. I appreciate very much your input, as always. If you don't feel like answering my questions because they bother, that is fine too, I am just new in all these Nelson, I was not testing anybody. I don't know much about all these and the law is so complex, that your advanced experience for us is golden.
