Anybody got their application approved lately? When I checked the timeline excel sheet, I couldn't see anyone who received their welcome letter or GC in the last 2 months or so... Thanks

I see, thanks for the info and other insights. BTW ours is also through DV Lottery. (adjusting from J-1 to GC)

Merhaba Engin, Another Turkish citizen here. My wife and I also had an interview recently (6/30/15). Maybe I missed that but: did the officer tell you which particular documents she will ask in the (further) evidence request letter? From what I understand from your story, you seem to be all set...

It was also the case for my wife but our officer said no problem

Thanks mom. Confirming what you said, it may be related to the recent system maintenance: http://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/customer-service-tools-unavailable

Hello All, I filed I-485 concurrently with I-131 and I-765. I received my EAD/AP combo in May. Recently, 06/30/2015, I interviewed for I-485 and the officer said everything was fine, and said she would approve after a final quick check the very same day. A few days after the interview, on 4th of...

Hi, I just received my EAD/AP card but I haven't received interview notice, yet. Should I be worried and take any action? Thanks,

Hello All, Quick questions about ead/ap: 1-Do we get different case numbers from USCIS for each of I-485, I-131 and I-765 filings (and separate NOA letters) or is it the same case number (acknowledged in the same NOA letter)? 2-Is ead/ap application handled at Chicago office (which receives all...

Thanks Mom, I did some research but found this: http://www.uscis.gov/forms/file-my-application-online-e-filing/how-do-i-know-if-i-need-original-documents I especially don't want to send my DS-2019, as it is my only document to stay here. What do you think? Best, thanks a lot.

Hello everyone, I am thankful to everyone helping others here, especially Mom and Simon. I am about to send my package late this week or early next week (wishfully) thinking that I will be current in March. I have a question before I do. I have a few documents translated to English with their...

Hello, Would I get my EAD/AP card faster if I send my I-765 & I-130 separately to a Service Center (through the e-filing system) after sending the package or should I send everything to the Chicago Lockbox to get the card faster? Thanks,

Hi, I just submitted our (me and my wife's) online DS 260 (selected USCIS, i.e. AOS) and I am now going to prepare a money order for DV fee. I think it is pretty clear about the amount ($330 per person) but I just wanted to double check by asking you guys, because it says on the DOS website: per...

Hello, I am a Turkish J-1. I just received my two year rule waiver. My process went pretty smoothly (I hope it goes as smoothly for my new visa, because my J-1 is expiring soon, that's another story..). I had no govt funding, no ties with any of the Turkish universities, no Fulbright... The...

Thanks for the reply. J-1 / J-2

Hi DV2015 winner here. My wife had a brief previous marriage (it was 10 years ago and lasted less than a year) and an other last name that she legally used during that time. We forgot about it when filling out the eDV application and didn't enter that name as an other name used. Also we are in...
