    Hi skyoz, It's fairly simple :), if they said chargeability for Asia is 2900 in Oct-that means anyone with the case number from 1 to 2900 can submit their paperworks from October 1. You could predict by looking at previous years' bulletin. What is your number btw?

    Permanent Address in US

    I think he meant once he get approved, him and his wife will fly to US and travel a little bit before looking for a permanent address to settle in US--and the forwarding address they have created now will be where the USCIS send their green cards later on. Am I right davefromoz (from Aussie I...

    WilL I work from the first day I enter the US?

    Well you gotta start somewhere. I talked to my bank about building credit history etc and they set me up with a specific credit card with low credit limit to start with. That was a year ago...now I have mortgage, I bought a car and have normal bank accounts/credit cards like most people do...

    WilL I work from the first day I enter the US?

    You will need to apply for SSN to be able to work. So I suggest you do that the first thing when you arrived :) Once you get the SSN, not only you will be able to look for a job, you can apply loan, credit cards, open bank account and so on. To look for a job, depending which state you are...

    questions about the AOS

    1. Yes you need to get it translated by approved translator. If you do google and search under translator under whatever state you are in, you should be able to find some information. 2. EAD and advance parole include in the $100X fee that you will send later to the Chicago office, not the $375

    DV2009 from Indonesia, please kindly list here

    I think it is best to translate everything non-english to english. My husband's documents (in Indonesian) are even more messy than yours. His birth certificate shows incorrect date (because his uncle went to the registry not his parents), believe it or not....his parents are not listed on his...
