I never said it was me. It's someone who I know.
Yes, you are right, BCIS requested RFE and I mailed my response to them last month. They updated the on-line status right away (seems the bar code on the letter was scanned. How advanced they are getting???) . So now I have to wait for them to evaluate my evidences and make a decision. I suppose to be approved back in June/July, but the RFE got me stuck. Should be close either way.....
The person who I am talking about has pretty low cut-off number and his visa number should be available as soon as October, 2003. Otherwise he might get asylum eventually (????) approved as soon as December 2004. But again with all the latest changes with asylee AOS cases, who knows what BCIS might came with the next day ??? He might use the DV-2004 AOS as more secure and faster way. Any opinions on this??
Otherwise, belive it or not I won the DV-2000, but since didn't have proof of admission before my asylum case was approved, I wasn't eligible for DV-2000 (245(i), etc...). For asylees seems to be different, since the I-485 instruction notes say, the ground of inadmissibility doesn't apply to "category in which special rules apply - asylum, etc.." . Am I right, Gilbert? You seem to be very deep into the INA laws..
Anyway, thanks for all your toughts and messages. They keep me away from thinking about my case and hope my information helps others too.
Cheers.
