I am glad you found your way here. I saw your post on the other site and was like OH GOSH he needs to hurry and get over here. Please go through the thread and the basic documents and follow its advice to the T, also that of Sm1smom and Britsimon. Thanks to them a number of us have gone from not...

Wahahahaha...I'm afraid you are trapped for life…there just is no escaping for you @Britsimon, you've made a friend for life mr. expert, hahahahaaaa

Yes @Britsimon, I realize how important it is to educate yourself on the rules and process, stay on top of things and be your own advocate, or else you might lose BIG! I am also very grateful she did not reach my husband first, cause she called him first as the selectee---he knows not A THING...

I almost asked her for the interview date but then I thought since everything is ok now, I better get off the phone fast before she comes up with another bogus issue or reason to deny us, hahahaha. I figure we will be getting the interview letter soon, if not I have her number so I can always...

Update on our case: It's now 3pm in NY. Since I still hadn't heard from the IO, I called and left her a voicemail. She called right back and confirmed that she entered us in the system today and everything worked! She said everything's in order and that the files were forwarded to the IO who is...

Congrats!!!

I've been watching this thread, more for laughs than anything else and I think I ended up becoming fond of @tyt and @Britsimon 's exchanges. I really hoped tyt would get his visa in the end...I know we all would have cheered big time to that. If anything, your time here has been a demonstration...

Excellent! Thanks a lot mom. Will let you guys know how it goes tomorrow.

Thanks for this Simon, needed a good chuckle! LOL

UGH, I was caught off guard and did not have the memo in front of me, or else I would have directed her to that page indeed. :(

Yes and I made sure to thank her for that. I told her I really appreciate that she took the time to call and check in before proceeding with the denial. So we parted on a very warm and positive note. I just don't want to lose the $$$…that would really piss me off!

Yes that is at least reassuring, LOL. Will remain gentle with her until we get approved! ;)

Yes, that's how I was able to direct her to it and tell her to look at the parts I highlighted in yellow. She looked through our files, pulled the memo out (after confusing it with the visa bulletin I also included) and read out loud what I highlighted.

Thanks Simon. yes they seem to be moving very fast with our case. We could in fact be green this month, if not for the clueless IO, which we seem to have lucked out with, LOL. If all goes well tomorrow, I might as well call Kentucky to make sure she requested our files cause I don't have much...

She read this part of the policy memo out loud. I don't know how much clearer it can be… "Since, by statute, DV visas expire at the end of a given fiscal year, a DV adjustment applicant’s Form I-485 (including principals and any of their derivatives) must be adjudicated and approved on or...

@jj777 guess what? just got a call from my field office telling me they are about to deny our petition cause we filed too early…sigh. I can't…UGH. Posted details in the DV 2015 AOS thread and waiting for mom and simon's advice there. :(:eek::confused:

O M G Guys!!! I just got a call from the USCIS Field Office (Newark, NJ) that is dealing with our case. When are these people going to start reading their own memos and learning to deal with DV cases?!?!?! So the agent called to let me know that she is about to deny our case because we filed too...

Good, glad to know. Best wishes with the rest of the steps.

Expedite the child's legal adoption and gather all documents showing a track record of you guys being his parents, so that the official date of adoption is not seen as suspicious.

This seems to be the normal pattern, from what I have observed in the past few months. I also read Mom and Simon reassuring everyone that that's normal so I suppose it's nothing to worry about. Your card is on its way!
