Did any H4 visa holder win the lottery?

I'm an H4 holder and married, no kids. How fast was the process for you and what should my spouse do?

 

thanks

AOS speed doesn’t depend on what status you are adjusting from. The speed of the process depends both on your case number and on your field office. Typically AOS for DV will take a good few months after you are able to send in your package, but it can vary widely. In particular FOs may feel less urgency at the beginning of the FY than near the end, where they will usually move faster than usual to get it done before the deadline. Some FOs seem to batch their DV cases for processing so may also depend whether you are first or last to be in a particular batch. Etc. are you DV18 or 19?

 

What do you mean, what should your spouse do? Does s/he want to get a green card too? If so obviously they need to file AOS as your derivative. If not they can just stay on H1B.

I'm busy completing my I-485, we both doing the medical on Monday then I'm sending of my paper work. I was not sure if I should complete one for her and send it in at the same time. Should I?

Again...assuming she wants to adjust status, yes. I confess to being a little confused at your questions.  Are you unsure if she needs to submit her own from (in which case may I suggest you read the instructions for the form, which clearly states she must) or does she want to do something else (not adjust, adjust through employer, whatever)?

I know she should adjust her status, she must. I was not sure when.

Should I send in her I-485 and supporting docs the same time as mine or after, that is what I was not sure of?

I played the 2018 lottery and a visa will only be available in August and as you know I only have until end Sept to get things done.

Yes it must be with you. You (principal + derivatives) would all interview at the same time. That’s how all US immigrant visa interviews work.

Your posts/responses appear to me like you don’t quite understand the process and are basically trying to fly by the seat of your pants.  I sent you a PM with a link to a forum where DV based AOS petitions are being actively discussed.
