HI I was in America from December 06 till October 07 on a student exchange. I also have a boyfriend who I have been with for going on 4 years now and we have decided that the distance part of our relationship needs to end therefore I am wanting to move to the states to be with him. However, I have found my only REAL options are to get married or the DV Lottery. We are still qute young and whilst we do want to get married we don't want it to be this soon or because immigration "made us".
I have applied for the DV Lottery 2009 but have a few questions.
I know it says I will receive the letter between May and July if I do get selected but when do they normally come? Is it likely I will get one in May? How likely do you feel it is that I would get selected?
If I am selected for it how long will it be before I am able to actually BE in the US? Is it possible for me to be there by the end of ths year?
Is there any other way I can get into the US? the student (not enough money) and working (not a skilled worker yet.) visas will not work for me..
THANK YOU
