My question is in the State of NY.

On April 17th, 2001, my brother filed an I-130 Petition for Sibling for me. He is an american citizen. In July 24, 2009, I received a letter from USCIS stating my case was approved and it was transfered to the National Visa Center and that I would have to wait for a visa to be available. My priority date is April 17th 2001.
The only question I have is this: In 1996 I won the lotter visa. I got my social security and my work authorization. I renewed it a couple of years. While I had my work authorization, I filed a parole to visit my family back home. It was granted and I went overseas for 3 weeks. I came back with no problem. However, an year later, when I tried to renewed my work authorization, The agent at the immigration office told me I should have received my Green Card a long time ago since the DV lotter is pretty quick. He did not renewed and told me that I was a victim of the immigration poor service. They claimed they sent me an interview letter which I never received. Making it short, I became out of status and I could never fight for it. Now, since the petition my brother filed was in 2001, and I am protected to have an interview here, will my trip to my country in 2002 have any impact on my future application when I will be available to apply through the application my brother filed? Will I be able to apply here in the US and still have my interview here since my trip to Brazil was granted through parole?

Thank you.
