    Try to call KCC regularly without antagonizing them. Stress the sunset (deadline issue). Even when they say they sent it, call back a couple of times to ensure it is indeed done. When done, inform Newark FO so they can proceed with the approval.

    I gave you the company's name: Foreign Credits. We took the original and 2 copies with us to the interview. We did not know about this requirement until we received the IL so it was not part of our sent AOS package, we just took it to the interview. The IO verified the original and kept one of...

    1. Our IL had the same list. We obtained the official evaluation from foreign credits. The immigration officer went by this list at the interview so she did ask for it. It's essentially an evaluation by that confirms/certifies that your degree is indeed the equivalent of a high school degree in...

    We were current in October of this fiscal year and filed early at the end of August. Our file was accepted at the Chicago lockbox but almost rejected by the FO because they were not familiar with the Early filing Memo. Luckily, the FO supervisor took the time to call me before rejecting the file...

    Proof of mariage is a pretty standard question. We had it as well but had read about it here so we took photo albums of our first vacation together to the interview as well as other family pictures. Old Pictures proving a history together is usually enough. But best to take all the proof you...

    DV 2016 Winners Meet Here

    Hey…each one does what is best for them…at the time I thought it was best so I did what I had to do. No regrets whatsoever. In the grand scheme of things, this second win does not really make a difference. Plus, it's an extremely rare occurrence so I doubt DoS or anyone else pays it any mind.

    DV 2016 Winners Meet Here

    When DV 2016 opened in October we were at the very beginning of processing our 2015 win and although we had an awesome CN, I wanted to be extra extra safe on the off chance that we did not get our green cards. So I played again without telling my husband because he felt certain we'd get the...

    @Britsimon my friend, guess what? I played for DV 2016 just in case a freakish incident would have prevented us from receiving green cards through DV 2015. And guess what? Hubby won again this year!!! That makes it 2 years in a row with CN AF24XXX this time…how crazy is that? It kept saying...

    Sounds to me like the officer you met is not aware of the fact that I 94s have been electronic for the past few years. Consequently you would no longer have a stamped I 94. My DMV accepted my electronic I94 only three months ago and I have never been asked for an I-797 to renew a driver's...

To indicate that our application was approved & our new status was registered, that the cards were in production, that the cards had been Mailed, to give us tracking numbers, then notify us that the cards were delivered, etc. In fact...

    Hi Tukki, I am glad you finally made your way here, welcome! Filing for I-131 and I-765 are not mandatory so that's why it says optional on the spreadsheet. You have to decide based on your needs and situation if you will need a work or travel permit while you wait for your green card or not...
