Please help! I was selected but don't have sponsor nor personal assets

[Sara.S 0]

I was selected for further processing to apply for a diversity visa, however, i do not have anyone in the US to sponsor me nor do I have personal assests, the only choice left for me is to get a job offer but i do not know how i should proceed. I am an english lit undergrad student without professional experience and I do not know how i am supposed to find an offer that will wait for me to apply for the visa.

My only advantage are my languages (french arabic english).

I think you are misunderstanding the requirements of the visa. A DV does not require anyone to sponsor you or a job offer. If you have a reasonable education that will enable you to find a job and support yourself, you should be fine.

What are your plans when you enter the US, migration is not cheap, how will you fund your move?

You are relatively young. I know people who won and only had about 6- 8,000$ on their bank accounts when they had their GC- interview. All of them got approved. Can/could you take out a loan? Borrow money? I mean, you need some money to move - it is easier when young, in the sense of rent a cheap room, work whatever to get on your feet and so on - but you have to have some kind of plan. 

 

If this would be me, I would get a second job (bartending for example) to save as much money as possible till the interview and either take out a loan or borrow money from family/friends to have around 8-10,000$ on my bank account and a plan to pay it back within 2 years. 

Then I would pick a city/place where you want to move in the US and calculate how long that money would last without any income, put that in writing to show that you have a plan and know what you are doing. Look for jobs that could be a good fit for you on LinkedIn and what they pay vs. cost of living in that city. 

 

Good Luck

You won't need a sponsor or job offer for your immigrant visa. However you will some money to spend until you find a job. Now you could apply for your visa get it, go to the US activate it and get your actual green card. Than apply for a permit to be able to stay out of the US for 2 years and go back to your home country to finish your studies. (if getting your degree is important to you) 

 

Good luck.
