Raevsky, okay, I really feel this is hopeless. I said, I wrote down what I was told. I asked the officer if in the past other people's case got denied because they filed their case before the number was current, and the answer was yes. You want evidence? I don't have any evidence!

I was going to post my story in the AOS 2008 thread, but I thought it probably would be more helpful if I posted a new thread. I hope people will learn from this and will not have to go through the same thing. I am a DV 2008 winner from Asia (AS14xxx) and I am on J-1 with two-year residency...
