Thinking of Applying for DV lottery
I have my case pending. But I was wondering if it is possible to apply for the GC lottery, as a back up plan. I have had problems with my wife’s infidelity and emotional abuse. Is it possible to apply for DV lottery without jeopardizing my current application? My other option is to go the VAWA way. Thanks.

how long have you guys been married for? On a scale of 1-10, how bad is the situation? @Ivan R yiur lawyer said it’s okay to have a pending GC application via marriage and be able to enter for GC lottery? Cause that screams red flag all over if for any reason UCIS pulls up his pending 485 and sees that, I would think that would definitely complicate every!

@Pepertua A it is on a 3/10. the marriage is 1 year . I can’t tread on eggshells anymore. Therefore, I shamelessly seek to regain status, in case I am being taken for granted for my neediness. haha…. I had similar thoughts that if they have to pull up the records, they could notice a contradiction. But if a few lawyers confirm that, then it is green light on that. This is the lottery month, folks!

Yea, definitely talk to an experienced immigration lawyer urgently before taking any step.

lottery dont have any negative effect on your pending application. Its give you another opportunity to get a Green Card. if u won your pending application will be close because you already have a Green Card through other means dont be misled. No negative effect as long as you re eligible to do so.
