Asked in Immigration Law for New York

Q: Could I travel back to the US on my unexpired O-1 Visa, while my DS-260 application is being processed?

I am currently on an O-1 Visa expiring late 2021. I (luckily) won the DV Lottery this year and plan to apply through Consular Processing. Will I be able to travel back to the US on my unexpired O-1 while my DS-260 is being processed? Thank you.

A: You would need to show that your reentry to the US is directly related to your O status.
