Hi there
Im very worried about this particular situation. Im a Canadian citizen who is in the process of applying for J1 for medical residency training in the US; awaiting an interview date. Have been offered a position in the US that starts in July. However, I recently read that a prior DV lottery application can cause issues. The honest truth is, I had no idea this actually meant anything. I literally thought it was a lottery and figured in the slim chance I won, it would be a long process and I would actually need to file a proper application; which I don't think I would ever do. I really do want to come back to Canada to practice. I have no intention of living/working in the US permanently because all my family is in Canada. The only reason I put in an application was because my fiance suggested that it might increases my chances of getting a medical residency position if hospitals didn't need to sponsor a visa for me. It was very last minute; the night before and we didnt think much of it. How bad is this? What should I do? or say at the interview? Can they actually see that a lottery application was put in? Pleaseeee help! Thank you

Also, anyone with recent J1 interview experiences; in Canada maybe, can you shed some light on what kinds of questions they ask?
