I-20's and such I was a F-1 too, and I kept all my I-20's. I scanned them and keep them in cloud storage along with all my important documents. I filed the originals in my fireproof case where I keep my car title, house deed, SS card and all those other important records. You won't EVER need...

Congratulations to you and your wife Rainy! I wish the best to the both of you. Welcome to the USA!

Congratulations! Congratulations Mate! Welcome to the USA! Don't forget to get a new SSA card and update your driver's license. Enjoy the new status!

Good Luck! Good luck in your interview my friend! You will be fine!

Do you go to UNO or Tulane? ;)

I filed my AOS packet without it and it was accepted. It never came up during my interview either. I used to be F-1 as well. Read my reply to Oshin a couple of posts earlier.

I-864 I was a F-1 when I filed my 485. I don't think you should need an I-864. Are you a F-1? Your I-20 should show that you have had enough money to fund your studies. That should suffice to prove that you will not be a burden to the state.

Hello Oshin, I was a F-1 student when I had my interview. I didn't bother filling out the I-134 and didn't have any trouble with my case. I was approved the same day. The lady that did my interview was VERY meticulous and went through my passports PAGE by PAGE. She asked me extensively...

Congratulations! Congratulations! It is a GREAT feeling. I can't thank the people in this forum enough either. They really helped make a lot of sense of the legalese of the DV program and how it works. It took almost a year for me from start to finish. I found out I was selected on July 15...

Update Hello Guys, Thank you all for your kind words. I haven't been able to follow the forums for a week since I went to NYC for a music festival and to celebrate my new LPR status :) USCIS has been sending me emails almost daily after my interview in July 9th. Here is an overview of them...

Card Production Ordered! Hello Guys! I just had my interview Monday morning at the Orlando Field Office and my Card was ordered into production! Thank you so much for your support and kind words throughout this journey! I barely slept 3 hours last night since I was so nervous. I kept going...

Thank you so much!

The right way to do it ;). I found that doing it that way didn't really speed up the process. I actually got my IL around the time that my lawyer expected me to get it. Of course, I live in Florida so the USCIS offices here are extremely busy. Tomorrow is the big day! I have my interview...

Interview Timing Hello, I do not think you expedite the interview. Cases are handled in the order they are accepted. The only thing that you can do earlier is the biometrics, provided that you have your biometrics letter with you. This greatly depends on your FO's policy. I had no trouble...

Walk-in Biometrics It is called a walk-in bio and it happens all the time. Don't tell them anything about being early, etc. Just say that you need to get your biometrics done. Try to go just before they close the office. Where I live they close at 4:30pm and I was there at 4:10pm or so...
