Thanks so much Minto64. So, I do have a relative who is US citizen, then he should have at least 150% of federal threshold income level to sponsor someone, is it correct?

Any one plz help!!
United1,
I don't think anybody can tell you when to get married. That's a personal decision. Filing immediately after getting married will not affect the processing. You might be subject to extra scrutiny by the IO but if it's a genuine relationship thre is nothing to fear. Interviews are scheduled based on your Selection number been current.
It's best to add your wife to the forms.
Thank you for ur reply.
I have sent out first set of papers, and decided on get married on our 5th anniversary in Sept. I will wait for second letter from KCC, and than send 230 after our marriage.
Cheers!!
September 2012 Visa Bulletin
Visa bulletin is out for september 2012 which includes the advance cut off dates for DV lottery for the month of October.

It is surprising to see that the cut off rank for Asia region is reduced down to 1900 . I believe, it used to be around 7000-8000 for the month of october.
As my CN is in 6XXX, I was planning to submit my I-485 in october but i don't know how long do i need to wait now.

Minto is right, getting married is a personal decision, and no one can decide for you as to when to go ahead with your wedding plans.
Having said that though, I would caution against sending DSP 122 and DS 230 separately as you've done as you do not want to give the IO any impression the marriage was an after-thought. Notwithstanding though, you should be okay once you're able to convince the IO that the marriage is not a sham.
Good luck!

Yeah, nobody is sure about anything anymore . As it is, one just has to keep checking the Visa Bulletin mid month going forward.

Thanks for ur thoughts,
We decided to send DSP 122 AND DS 230 together, but our wedding is set for 9th sept and we thought that will be too late to send papers. So we decided to go ahead and send DSP 122 now. Well Marriage is not sham, and we are in relationship for 5 years. Will try our best to put our case effectively in front of IO. Rest depends on God and our luck.

Yes, it is unusual. It was 8000 for Oct 2011 for Asia. Our CN is 3XXX. Hope, we can send I-485 in Nov.
My guess is it's just $330. You can go to any 7/11 and trade your money with a money order.
That is an interesting question. You might want to look for free consultation with a lawyer and ask them this question.

Why is the cutoff numbers for Asia is too low? I'm surprised. My number is kinda high 8XXX. Can anyone predict if the cutoff numbers would be high in October? I'm so worried, cause I'm currently on F1 visa and I'll graduate in May.

I would suggest sending it in on Sept 30th with a next day delivery service so it is received Oct 1st., interview is scheduled based on when the forms are received. However, since Sept. 30th is a Sunday, you might want to send it in on Sept 28th.
Good luck!
Good luck!
While filling out I-485 form, question no 2 regarding public assistance, do we have to write "Yes" if we had taken WIC (Women, Infant and Children) program assistance. I know, this program does not consider for public charges based on USCIS website. But, not sure, whether we have to write yes or no. Any idea/advise/experience would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Even if your case number is not due for submission until 1 day before--or even on the day--you graduate, there is nothing to worry about. I am sure your case number will be current sometime before the end of 2012.
I-485 Initial Evidence Questions
Hello, I'm working on my I-485 and have the following questions. I have found conflicting info on this forum so I'm not quite sure what to do:
1. High School Diploma vs. Work History
I went to high school in the U.S., but I cannot find my diploma. I think I can still claim eligibility with my work history. I'm a computer programmer and have been employed since 2006. I also have a BS and MS degree, so I will submit copies of my BS and MS diploma. I want to make sure this is fine. Also for proof of employment, do I submit my tax returns, W-2s, or check stubs?
2. Criminal History and Police Clearance
I have no criminal history in my home country or in the U.S. Do I need to do this? Or is this only for people who have committed a crime and need to submit something to explain what they did?
3. Affidavit of Support/Employment Letter
Again, do I need to submit this with my I-485 application? The instructions say this is needed for marriage or employment based application, so it shouldn't apply to DV. Correct?
I appreciate you spending time answering my questions. Thank you!!
