    Is Affidavit of Support necessary? I don't have any one in US!

    I disagree with that. First, : well, that depends strictly on your case. See my big thread on general info for DV winners ( see my signature ). The evidence of support is what matters, and the affidavit of support ( I 134 for DV ) is only one of the three possibilities. ( affidavit, your...

    very anxious

    CP : you won't get anything from KCC before your number gets current. Then, you can contact them to know if an interview has been scheduled. You could call them now though to make sure your forms were received and are being processed ( you'll need to know your case number ). ( This is your case...

    Returning on a reentry permit

    If you applied for a reentry permit to protect your GC, and go back to the US before its expiration date, then you shouldn't have to worry. The IO may ask why, but you're still safe because of the I131. Same for secondary inspection. My understanding is that bank statements, rent stubs...are...

    Owing back taxes and naturalization

    I do not think you are in trouble : although you owe taxes, you have a payment arrangement with the IRS, which shows that you filed your taxes. So I agree with the others. But bring the evidence of the agreement.

    the proof of High School diploma

    In theory, you are asked for a HS diploma. I am aware that a BS, or higher education is better. Still, you have to bring the HS. In addition, you can show higher education. An immigration officer would understand that you need a HS to go to college. But if he/she says he/she still needs to...

    Current

    "Current" means that all numbers can get an interview. Your case number does not need to be below a certain threshold, as there is none provided. But that's theory. It would then depend on when you sent your package back to KCC : it would be a "first in, first served " basis, as consulars...

    Confused about Current Address

    I would use your new address as you are going to be living there in a month. That's if you knwo your address for sure. Also, KCC won't send you anything before.

    SIS probation(traffic)and green card holder

    I do not think there will be any heavy outcomes. It happens. You'll pay a fine. When he will apply for citizenship though, he will definitely need to list this one ( unlike the debate on regular speeding tickets, I think this one has to be listed for sure ).

    DS-230 Questions (Please Help me as soon as possible)

    You can download all forms from the website. Also typing is better as there is no longer the issue for officers or clerks to understand your handwriting. Having a baby after the submussion of an entry is not a problem : you did not lie, the baby was not born yet.

    Travel Permit Green Card and Taxes

    As a GC holder, you should always file your US tax return as resident ( forms 1040, 1040EZ and others, but never 1040NR ). I am not too sure what you mean by : You would have to declare your worldwide income. There are forms for that on the IRS website. However, there are some...

    question

    No. Those are two different things. If you know where you intend to live ( if you have family or good friends, or if you already live in the US ), then that's the address where you want your GC to be sent. However, if you don't know anybody except your sponsor, then yes, you could. But you do...

    DV2007 - UAE/India Winner - Questions (Folks - Please help)

    Joint returns are fine. My question thought is how come you don't have a SSN ?! You said you are here under dependent visa, thus you have a legal status. If I am not mistaken, you should have been to your local SS office. You would need to show the originals of all the documents requested...
