  • Selected for DV-2016, on VWP, can I apply I-485?

    Hello all

    I got selected for DV-2016, my number is quite high (less than 100), and reading the Visa Bulletin for Sept 2015, it appears certain I can file I-485 Adjustment of Status to USCIS in September or October.

    However, my existing WT/WB Visa Waiver Program (VWP) expires September 20th!

    I am struggling if I should fly somewhere for a short and cheap holiday, and then come back in with another VWP.

    Or, fly home (expensively), and apply for a B1/B2 visa, and come back for my AOS.

    I am concerned that if I come back with a VWP (cheap option both time and money wise), they will reject my AOS. But it will take much longer to file DS-160 to get B2 visa, and for my career, the less time I spend away from USA this year, the better.

    Please help!
