    Default Got Diversity Lottery Notification Letter the Day I Submitted Non-Immigrant Visa App

    Hi all,

    On Thursday morning I mailed a J1 visa application and my passport to the US consulate for processing (I have held a J1 twice before, so was not required to appear at the consulate for an interview). Later that day, I was incredibly surprised to receive a diversity lottery green card 2010 notification letter in my mail. Great timing, huh?

    By entering and being selected for the diversity lottery, have I jeopardized my chances of being granted the non-immigrant J1 visa? Even if the visa is granted, could I be turned away at the point of entry in July because I was selected for the DV lottery?

    At this stage, I have not taken any action with the DV lottery paperwork, nor have I contacted the consulate which is handling my visa. Any advice on how to proceed or what to expect would be much appreciated.

    If you wish to obtain a Green Card, my first inclination would be to try to withdraw the J1 application through the consulate.
