DV 2010 AOS Only

Hi R2010,

Thank you. I pray that you can meet
with your loved ones soon yourself...

Dear Capeolive,
I am so happy for you. ( I actually have some family member myself that I don't see for many years, so I kind know how difficult it can be!) I wish you all the best, I can see you have a very good heart and deserve for now on, to enjoy the best life can offer, with you family besides you.
 
Hi leongsce,

Thank you. Prayers are mutual. I pray that we all
be successful here and hereafter as well...

capeolive,
God bless you and your family!
He ensures that all good people, and you in particular, will be rewarded.
I am extremely happy for you and to God for answering all my prayers.
Now, enjoy and live your life to the fullest with your family.
Wishing you lots of love and success in whatever you do!
 
Hi chutgur,

Welcome to the last days of this thread.

A1. This FY it was September.
A2. If same thing happens following FY you can send in your application around July 10, 2011.

Consular Processing overseas in your country might be a better option
for you. You can go to US Embassy and do it all together.

There are a lot of other things that you have to learn.
You can start reading this thread from the first page.

Good luck to you in your process...

HEY guys congrats for the selection and those who received their GC. i came to USA as religious missionary for 2 years then left, then came back for school for 4 years left again. got married and needed to take time out with my wife and came to USA last october 2009 to visit friends and family. i was about to leave the country but i received DV lottery NL1 or 2011, 2011. on the letter said i must do my paper works before SEPT.30th. (i guess i left out 2011 part) so i did medicals JULY 2010 and sent my AOS package in AUG of 2010. few days ago received my I-485 back saying rejection notice and some explanations saying i sent it early or late. they opened my package sept.14 2010 and i received it sept.17 2010. also i didnt know i was suppose to pay dv fee 440$ to DOS. so sent them the money order and waiting for the receipt. i asked RON GOTCHER on other forum some immigration lawyer he told me to resend it the first day of october 2010. this time if i send my AOS i am gonna do it with my DOS receipt. except that everything was there. my case number 2011AS00033082.
MY QUESTION IS
- i dont understand the VISA BULLETIN and when my visa number will be available?
-when should i send AOS which month of which year.

my another big problem is my visa will expire this october 20th 2010. i thought i should apply for f-1 visa to buy some time or send my AOS package before my visa expires. but i hear if i send it too early i-485 gets denied or rejected.
plus my wife is gonna hunt me down and kill me if i return to my country without GC. and she wont let me talk to my kids and wont let me see their pictures. i got no place to go right now. hehe.
GUYS should i send my AOS package this october or what should i do. GOOD PEOPLE please share your knowledges. thank you and god bless.
 
Hi frenchiechs,

Thank you. You have my best wishes...

This is how I would do it:

A1. Yes,
A2. No,
A3. No, but it depends,
A4. No, since it was very short period of time.

Some information to enclose depends on the details, though...

Capeolive,

Congrats!!!! i share your joy and wish u all the very best !

Dear all

I hope someone will be able to help regarding form G-325:

1/ i have been doing paid internships for the last three years as the J1 visa is a very easy to get in the states (I have got my 1099 forms and 1 W2 from my internships). Should my internships in the "applicants employment last five years" box?

2/ i did an unpaid internship in Spain. Should it appear on this box?

3/ i worked something like 30 days in total in france for the last three years when i had to wait to get another J1. should it appear as well?

4/ for the last five years residency, sometimes, I traveled to France for 10 days, another time i was at my friends place in nyc for five days when i was looking for a new apartment, should it all appear in the applicant residence last five years?

Thank you for your help

There is an Update on my Case!

Hi Friends,

Finally, my family had their DV FTJ interviews at the
US Embassy in Ankara, Turkey and got their immigrant
visas sent to Istanbul where they live. I am grateful
that we are able to reunite after so many years.
Sometimes you have to get separated in order to
appreciate what you got. I have not planned it
this way though. As they say "things happen".

My DV process was very though. I have done what
I could and always prayed for the best. I know the
best is not always to live here in the States. But now
after getting it all together despite everything I can
say that it was meant for my family to live here.

There were some mistakes done by immigration
in my case like closing the case and sending it to
National Records Center instead of sending it to
the US Embassy in Turkey. But today is a day
of forgiveness for me. I forgive those who wronged
me unintentionally.

Today is also a day of gratitude. I would like to thank the
CIS Ombudsman and her staff, my Congressman and his
staff, Consul General and his staff, Philadelphia Field Office
InfoPass Supervisor and only one of her staff. Ladies and
gentlemen you have my sincere thanks and best wishes.
We, less fortunate people, need more people like yourselves.
Keep up the good work.

I thank the host of the forum Mr. Khanna and his staff,
thank you for having such a great service for years. This
is the best immigration forum especially for DV AOS
process.

I finally thank each and every one of you who have been
supporting me with their prayers and good wishes.

...on this good day, I should end my words as follows:

Praise be to God who has sent
Moses with Torah,
Jesus with Bible,
Muhammad with Qur'an.
God is the One and Only.
There is no deity except Him...
 
Capeolive

You have brightened up the day with such a wonderful news. May all the dreams that your heart hold dear, come true, and may each day of life bring the best for you and your family.
Congratulations. Enjoy your success

hi experts, need suggestion

By the end of this month I will be applying for AOS. Since I have an approved I-140, that has an A # assigned to me. Now I am confused to put that A# on the DV AOS forms or not (whereever it is asked). I am wondering since that A# number is given for employment based, won't it be a problem if I put that A# to DV cases. Any sugesstions?
Another question I have is do I need to send all my I-20's with my AOS application. I have many many I-20's, approx. 4,5 pounds.
Thank you
 
Congrulation capeolive.. this is indeed the best ending for your case. very very happy for u...may u have a very good future with your family here with you.

If you have a A# you have to put it. it wont be a problem. I used 2 different A# for mine. when I applied for the AOS first time, I used the A# =, that i got during my OPT and then i got the new work permit withthe differnt A# however, my AOS case was declined for early filing, then when I applied for the AOS the second time I used the fresh A#. A# is the number assigned to the individual file such that its gonnabe easier to locate it later.
By the end of this month I will be applying for AOS. Since I have an approved I-140, that has an A # assigned to me. Now I am confused to put that A# on the DV AOS forms or not (whereever it is asked).
