More details to this question:
I won 2012 DV lottery and wanted to adjust status because I can''t go home now, I am doing research here in the US. I recently got married and my wife''s visa is F2,we don''t have any visa or status issues. How risky is it?
my case number is 24xxx,so the visa will be available around april-may 2012, what is the probability of being successful?Or should I go with the consular way at home?is it less risky that way?
Thanks much!

Dear Client
You and your wife can adjust your status to permanent resident without having to leave the U.S. You have to remain in legal status i.e. don't quit school until your application is finalized and approved. I advise you to get the help of a competent attorney to make sure all your applications are handled properly.
Good Luck.
