Hey! I am sure I am not the only one facing this issue. Lawyer says, choose consular processing, its impossible from here..
         Right now I am in the US in F-1 status. I was selected for the diversity
lottery program for 2009 and now as published in the Visa Bulletin, my case
number falls in the range to be current in April. I haven't received any
written information from any concerning body about further processing. I
entered US in 2006 and I haven't left the country from then. I did unauthorized
employment for about 2 years. I don't work at present and I have valid I-20 and
visa still at present.

Now that, I am planning to adjust status, and I know my employment is a ground
for my ineligibility. So,

1) Is there any way I can get a waiver?



2) If I went back to my home country to be interviewed, will my unauthorized
employment not be a problem at all? Does the immigration law differ for
processing within US and processing from abroad?



3) If consular processing back in Nepal is the only way, How risky step it
would be?And if things
didn't went right, will I still be able to re-enter to US in my existing
student visa?
