I have recently been selected for the DV Lottery. However, for a person like me, I want to know if it is worth following the steps to receive a visa. I got my bachelor's degree in civil engineering nearly 17 years ago, a field with which I have never been involved. Instead, I decided to continue my independent research on "physics" by freelancing and receiving my father's financial support.

After doing research for years, I am accustomed to my lifestyle, which, interestingly, guided me to some dissenting ideas and theories in physics. At age 40, I have never been affiliated with any organization and have only published a few articles in some peer-reviewed journals (SpringerNature, Wiley, etc.) owing to my independent research.

I am happy with my methodology and plan to write and publish more articles, and I would rather not upset my lifestyle. On the other hand, winning the DV Lottery has raised a big question about whether I can continue my research in the US better.

Considering the following facts:

a) I do not hold a degree in physics.

b) My ideas/articles are mostly dissenting from mainstream physics.

c) I have no work experience in physics (except for a few students for private teaching).

d) I am not glad to be involved with full-time, unrelated jobs mandated by the US government if I immigrate to this country, because I will lose time on my independent research, and thus, I cannot proceed with writing and publishing articles with a free mind, which terribly upsets me.

Do you think that the US government feels obligated to find a part-time job for me compatible with my desires? If such occupations exist, what can they be? Do they respect my independent study?
