Any news on resuming of operations in embassies for consular processing. My dad’s EU case # became current this month and was wondering what’s the back log. I know there still are 3 months ahead, but I’m not familiar with this process.

I bow to your knowledge, you were of great help 5 years ago when I went through the same exact process, I bet you can still see my name in the spreadsheet DV2014. I was just trying to understand, I didn't see all the other posts she posted in the other section.

Always send the originals and keep the copies.

I went through the same process 5 years ago, AOS from a F1 visa in Boston. Check my detailed timeline in my signature. It took me 4 months from the packet sent to Chicago and my interview + physical green card in my mail. If you haven't been called yet, it means that there is something wrong or...

Hmm, something is not right, you should have been finished by now with that number. Did you try to do an infopass to inquire?

What’s your number again? Is it above 27000? Numbers up to 21000 are current.

Oh it will be easy. My dad is in Italy and will need to do CP through Naples

Your number should become current in the next 2 months. Are you doing AOS or CP?

Yes my dad, CN 41xxx

Hi, I have a quick question. My dad will follow the CP route, does his case number need to be become current in the bulletin or the timing may be different?

I can't believe it. I won the DV lottery in 2012, and my dad just won DV 2020. His case # is EU41xxx. All we need is to have my brother to win it next :) It seems pretty high, but I have high hopes.

This morning I got my GC, that it's actually green, not anymore pink. :) I have already informed my school (since I was on a F-1 visa), my employer (since I was on CPT), one of the following day I will go to have my SS card replaced (since its labeled that I can work only under authorization)...

It means that you will get your card in the mail in a matter of days. (the officer who interviewed me told me that I should expect the card within 2 weeks after the "card production status", if it takes longer I should go back to the FO to have it printed right there)

I guess it all depends on the FO and the officer in charge of your case. I didn't send the form I-394 nor any personal financial supporting docs in my AOS package, but I had them prepared for the interview. Once I got my interview, the officer didn't ask me anything regarding financial support.

Did the officer say anything? Mine told me that my case was approved, checked that little square on his form, and told me to wait for my GC within the next 2 weeks, max a month.
