Thanks a lot for the information. Did they accept your O/L certificate on the same day that you had the interview? Or did you have to submit a token on a prior date related to the O/L certificate?

According to your plan, you would be living in the US for more than 5 years. If you stay there just a little bit longer, you could get US citizenship. (It takes longer than 5 years because of the time it takes to process citizenship petitions) After you become a citizen it is very...

Why don't you try calling them. You have your first notification letter with you, so double check whether your date of birth stated in it is accurate. (If you haven't already done so!)

I got inssured through this plan before coming to the USA: http://www.mnui.com/products.asp?prod=amigo It's the only one I could find that: a) Was not a form of travel inssurance. (Travel inssurance may not cover situations where you "reside" in a certain place.) b) Does not require a Socia...

There is no minimum requirement for funds that should be available in a bank account. The only rule is "the more the better". Everything depends on the judgement of the consular officer and the procedures in the consular office where you are doing CP.

You are right! Guess I didn't look at the visa stamp carefully enough. The alien registration number is written in my visa stamp right below where the DV case number is written. In addition, the immigration officer wrote it in his handwriting in the passport when I was admitted to the US.

In my case, the visa officer worte the alien registratio number on my passport in his handwriting near the ceal that he put on it when I was admitted to the US. And nope, it is not there in the visa stamp.

US consulates seem to be a bit suspicious about recently issued birth certificates. It's probably better to submit your original birth cirtificate if is is and either/or situation. You can try submitting both thugh.

I just reconfirmed that a Graphic Designer is qualified. http://online.onetcenter.org/link/summary/27-1024.00 The job zone for Graphic Designer is 4 and the SVP range is 7 to 8.

Yes! If you did the kind of work described under "Graphic Designer" in relevant DOL website. What matters is the kind of work you did, rather than your job title.

Your chance of getting a DV visa may not be as bad as it may seem. Case numbers seem to have been assigned this year in such a way that many numbers are skipped. Take a look at the results for DV 2009. When you add up the total number of winners for asian countries, that comes to 14,002. That is...

Holy?

Are you married by any chance? If so you can claim you can be charged to your spouce's native country. CP is usually quicker than AOS. If your CN is high doing CP is much safer because of the possibility that the AOS process may not have completed by Septembe 30 2008. One advantage of AOS...

I wouldn't quite put it that way. I just wanted to make the point that if there is a compelling reason to delay sending the form (such as a pending marriage) a little (such as up to 1 or 2 months) then there is no harm in doing so, if the CN is high. In fact I sent in my form more than 1 month...

There is no deadline. However the applications have to be "processed" by KCC before an interview is scheduled. Last year (2007) I was told when I phoned KCC that it takes upto 12 weeks to process applications. Interviews are scheduled around 2 months before a case number becomes current. (Soon...

alemitmee, You've made lots of great points there. But I don't think it is fair to say that the DV program came close to being cancelled last year. The "comprehenssive immigration reform" bill that would have cancelled the DV program generated a lot of opposition and many senators were ready to...

Think carefully. Think carefully before you choose a location for CP. Some embassies are much stricter than others. In Ankara, Turkey for example an 134 affidavit of suypport seems mandatory for Iranians. Not sure whether this is the case for non Iranians.

I think you should apply for CP. For one thing it may not be possible for you to stay in the US beyond January 2009. In addition to that, AOS can sometimes take a very long time to process leading to the risk that it may not come through before September 30 2009, which will mean that you loose...

You will be asked to write a letter requesting the concerned authority to issue a police clearance to you. When writing this letter, write it in such a way that it is clear to the person reading it that you want your duration of stay to be mentioned. For example if you write "please issue me a...

Nope it wasn't sealed.
