AOS procedure AOS procedure : You have to be legally present in the US ( valid visa ). In this case, you can choose between CP and AOS. The choice is your decision. Some factors are your case number, or the cost for you to fly back for CP ( plane tickets, have to take about two weeks off to...

Your number is very low for the AF region. Your number will most probably be current in October. http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html You did the right thing by informing KCC about your decision to go with AOS ( my opinion is that with such a low number, you truly...

I am not too familiar, but you can for sure sponsor your wife ( both visa and affidavit ) . For your aunt, you could only sign the affidavit, but not sponsor her for the visa itself ( family-based ). I believe you can sponsor a family of 10 if YOU as the sponsor ( USC or LPR ) can show...

I agree, and apologize for not being clear. That's the risk associated with CP. A nonIV will be cancelled at the interview. For AOS, I do not know, but that's what I've been told for CP by my lawyer.

Baba_Agba : For the Evidence of Support, you can provide any combiantion of the 3, which means you can provide one ( any one )of the mentioned documents, two ( any two ), or the three of them. Remeber that you better be safe than sorry. Bring as much as you can. So, the I134 is good. Still...

The INS had made a memo for DV 99. http://www.visalaw.com/99aug/39aug99.html Quote: The memo makes clear that winners of the DV-99 lottery may submit petitions up to three months prior to the month in which the visa number is current in rank But you have to be medium to know for sure !To...

Before posting a question, please read first what has been posted previously : by doing this very little " research" , you'll see that your questions have already been asked and answered 10times... You are very far from being the only one F1 to win the lottery ( I was one too ), but I did...

In fact, that's not really a rule. The INS had made a memo for DV 99. http://www.visalaw.com/99aug/39aug99.html I totally agree that's you have to be medium to know for sure ! As you said, you know in advance because of the advance notification in the visa bulletin, but to know 90days in...

Yeah big mistake ! Even if she had a reentry permit, it would only have protected the GC for 2years . There is a visa for returning residents, but apparently, it won't work for her : http://immigration.about.com/library/blpermres.htm After having been gone for 3years, it is very likely...

I am not sure I understand your question correctly. The GC is a visa for the US. So you won't need a visa anymore to visit the US. As you are from Western Europe, there are some other advantages that were also true even without a GC : to visit the US or Canada ( or in ransit via those...

It's better if you send the forms early ( like before August ) so that the people at KCC have plenty of time to process tehm. You can contact KCC by phone or email to make sure your forms were received and are being processed. And, yes, then you wait for your number to becomes current...

No, you won't get your GC overseas. In fact, you won't get it until you go to the US. If you are granted an interview ( number goes current ), and are successful, you will get a "stamp" in your passport. It is an immigrant visa ( IV ) which is valid for 6months : from the date you get the...

Ok, so you have no choice. CP is your only option. Can you refresh my mind and tell me what are questions 10 and 11 so that I can help ?

Miss Pink: Coming to the US every 6months is NOT enough. Take a look at all the posts about this and reentry permits on " Life after the GC" KCPLim: Even if you have already applied for a reentry permit, you can still apply again. However, it may raise some eyebrows and red flages for...
