    DV 2015 AOS Only

    I went about 45 minutes early to make sure I get through the security screening and be on time. Got to the waiting room around 9, had to wait for a couple of cases and was brought to the officer's office around 10:00. The officer requested to see the originals of the payment confirmation for the...

    I went to biometrics on the scheduled date. I didn't have a chance to go before that; I only got the bio letter about 7 working days before the appointment, so it wasn't a long wait anyway.

    Wow, you guys weren't kidding when you said the Newark FO was very efficient. As I mentioned earlier, my bio appointment was last Wednesday (07/22). I got the interview letter today (07/29), and my interview is tomorrow (07/30) at 09:30 am. I am not even current until August, but am obviously...

    DV 2015 AOS Only

    I see the point, and like I said, I'll get my HS degree certified to avoid any possible issues. Thanks to everyone who's helped shed light on this and to you specifically. Not trying to be difficult here, just sharing my thoughts about the bits and pieces of the process that I find strange...

    That was the plan until reading this post. :) Seems strange/silly that paying ~$150 to a random third-party org to, presumably, look at a scanned copy of my diploma, google the present-on-the-diploma accreditation organization, and make sure that my high school is indeed accredited by them...

    Thanks for the info! My high school diploma is the only non-US degree I have. Given it is in English and has a stamp that the school is certified/accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, I hope that will be good enough. It's encouraging to hear that the Newark FO is...

    Had my biometrics appointment yesterday, as scheduled. Appointment was at 1:00 pm, but I got there at 11, as I wanted to get it over with and have the afternoon free. The receptionist said she couldn't let me in at 11:00 for a 1 pm appointment as it was too early, but she would let me in at...

    Following up on this from a couple of pages/days ago. Having continued reading, I just stumbled upon your post earlier in this thread at http.//forums.immigration.com/threads/dv-2015-aos-only.7/page-64#post-2379584 (the forum won't let me post an actual link, sorry). It turns out I did already...

    Thank you for the answers. Will be sending the package this week and will post back with any developments. Here's hoping the 2NL comes back in time for the interview.

    DV 2015 AOS Only

    I am currently planning on sending a package by the end of the week and attaching a copy of the memo in addition to all supporting information except the 2NL. Still only a quarter of the way through the thread, but judging by the timelines spreadsheet, there haven't been too many (any?) cases...

    Aaaand I just saw this post on the very next page I read. Based on the comment in number 2 above, should I go ahead and send my AOS/I-485 package today (or tomorrow, after I give myself another day's chance to find other huge errors in my process)?

    Hello, first-time poster here. My CN for DV 2015 is EU 36xxx and it just became current for August last week. I have my documents ready, after having consulted an attorney twice during the year, and was waiting for a confirmation of the paid DV fee, which I paid 2 weeks ago in expectation of...
