That's great. That must be such a relief for you. They really took a long time with opening the envelops and going over the documents in the past two weeks. And it is a bit odd that they processed them out of order.

All is well as long things are advancing.
 
I thought that after we pay the DV AOS fee (440/-) that the case is transferred to the USCIS...Because the 2nd NL specifically states do not contact the KCC your case is now with the USCIS. What does the local USCIS office get from the KCC I wonder... Any idea? Is it the DSP-122 and the fee payment confirmation or our file from the PIMS system?

Hey guys, so I had the biometrics done yesterday and today I was re-reading through the 2010 AOS only and saw some cases when they had the interview but were nor aproved on the spot as the file was not requested by the office in time from KCC. So i decided to call KCC today and ask if our local office requested our file and they said the the file was requested yesterday ( probably after the biometrics) and I also asked about the interview date if they know if it was scheduled and they say that the field office schedules the interview depending on availablety. So fingers crossed and checking my mail every day :)

For those of you who have not received your biometrics for an extended period of time, I read a case from 2006 where some guy actually scheduled 4 infopass appointments before getting his biometrics done.. Not sure if that is applicable for the 2011 DV cases, but here is the link (read the AOS section) -

Honestly, I was also thinking about that and was planning to call KCC in order to make sure that USCIS requested file or not. However, I planned to do this after I get my interview letter.

Now, I'll do the same thing as you did. After biometrics, on Wednesday I'm gonna call them.

Thanks for the heads up... I'll probably make an INFOPass appointment if I still don't get anything after November 8th. The lady at KCC did say NBC have up till 30 days to make the biometrics appointment with the local office... man, that post was quite long ago, hopefully those who did not get their biometrics appointment will get it soon so we don't have to deal with what that guy had to go through 4 years ago!
 
OH MY GOOOOOD EVERYONE!! I got my appointment for INTERVIEW and BIOMETRICS together!!! The odd part is that my biometrics is 1 day after my interview so I'll have to schedule an appointment with my lawyer to find out if I can go earlier for my biometrics next Monday.

The wait was worth it!
 
Who had possitive TB skin test?
How many hours later does red dot increse if TB possitive?

I had positive skin test, but if you go ahead with the blood test it will most like come out negative. The doctor told me most asian has false positive with skin tests so if the doctor was good, he/she would request for the blood test right from the beginning.

onebowloflaksa,
congrats!
if you can do bio earlier will be good ... some of us went for walk-in bio. but give a good reason for doing so. also try the afternoons, tend to be less busy. but if you have to do it after the interview, it should be fine too. call kcc and check whether your file has been transferred to your local field office. things will move faster when your fo has all your files.
