The model now converged but the prob is very high. Should I suppose the
presence of Heteroskedasticity now and before?
I would suppose just the opposite.  Neither the z value in the 
lnsigma2 equation nor the corresponding LR test indicate that there 
is a problem with hetero, at least with normscapab.  Indeed, having 
the hetero equation may be keeping you from finding significant 
results in the choice equation.  It looks to me like you should just 
do a regular probit model.
