Won DV-2004 lottery, but OUT OF STATUS! What can I do?

[Karina]

Hi, Do I have a chance to get a green card if i'm out of status now? I'm out of status more then six month, to be exact 8 month. I know that if you are out of status for more then 6 month then there is a 3 year bar before you acctualy can reenter US. I'm still in the US right now. I was planning to go home when I received a notification from DV Regestration that I'm a winner of DV-2004 lottery. It's like a big joke on me right?. Is there anything I can do to fix my situation? Or there is nothing I can do, not even lawyers?

Thank you

No, DV winner has no option of waiver /hardship etc.
you will not be adjusted solely on winner ground.

Thank you for your reply. Ok, what if someone is willing to hire me right now? Can I work with the lawyers for the adjustment of my status? Whould I be eligible for a green card then? Or again because I'm out of status it's unpossible?

thanks again
