DV-2004 Questions
Hello all,
I have just received a letter said I have been selected for DV-2004.
I am citizen of Canada and Taiwan R.O.C. and currently holding a TN visa
in Massachusetts. My questions are:
1. Shall I choose "Consular Processing" or
"Adjustment Of Status in US"?
2. In one of the forms (DSP-122), it asks where I want
my application processing?
I can choose "Canada" or "Taiwan", but I am not sure which is
the better and faster?
Please advise.
Many Thanks,
Frank

My guess is, Canada, for a number of reasons.
a) Canada doesn't issue all that many visas, so the consulate will be less
busy
b) It's more convenient for you
c) It is less likely that world events (terrorism, SARS, etc.) shut down
consular processing in Canada. I hope it won't happen in Taiwan, either,
of course, nor do I expect it - but with SARS having reached Taiwan, and
it being in the rough vicinity of countries such as the Philippines and
Indonesia, the risk is slightly higher (don't blast me for geography! I
know that Taiwan isn't exactly a next-door neighbor, just much closer than
most of the US).

Re: DV-2004 Questions
Dear Ingo;
Thank you so much for your advice.
I will file "Consular Processing" in "Canada" as your suggestion,
since I am worried the SARS issue in Taiwan too. Thank you again for
your help!
Sincerely,
Frank

Re: Another DV-2004 Question
No. They are already US citizen. So you instead need to apply for US
passports for them, if you haven't already.
