Dear all,
I have filed DV2008 and I am waiting for (hopefully positive) news and notification.
However, I should visit US in the meantime for tourist and business purposes. As far as I know, when applying for such (B1/B2?) visa, I should state and confirm my "non-immigration" intention, which might be a slight problem because I filed DV lottery and it's an obvious contradiction.
Does anybody know what happens if I apply for B1/2, and in the meantime I receive my DV notification where I clearly state my immigrating intention? Did anybody have such or similar experience?
Is it possible to obtain DV visa soon after applying for and receiving B visa? How should I explain my sudden change of intention, from business visit to immigrating?
Thank you in advance and best of luck to everybody here.
Kind regards,
L.
