[...sequel... :) ] At this point, I received an email notification from USPS showing a piece of mail from the USCIS FO headed to my US home. As I really did not care much about anything the FO has to say, nor did I trust that they’d magically process my case in just a few days after sitting on...

*Long post alert (a series of 3 posts actually, due to # of character limits), skip to timeline below if uninterested by the details* My dear companions on the DV2019 journey, Seated in a small cabin on a boat in the Baffin Bay, in the arctic region North of Canada, I am finally writing about...

Although I’m not an OC person, here are my 2 cents on the car convo: buying a 2nd hand cheapy to start is a great idea; you can find great cars in great condition between $3k and $5k, and if it’s a brand that doesn’t lose value fast, when you’re ready for a slightly newer car, you could even...

I second the “dealing with individual condo owners” alternative instead of large apartment complex management companies. Individual condo owners are far more understanding.

Still waiting for an IL from the FO, which seems to be...taking its time, after all reasonable and recommended follow-up avenues have been explored.

Due to the low numbers of visas that have been issued so far (due to slow VB progress caused by KCC new documents submission procedure implemented for the first time this year), it is unlikely that visas will run out for DV2019, but let’s wait and see.

Thank for sharing your experience, sorry to hear you were surprised by the asylum questions, but it is not a far-fetched idea for the IO to ask you these questions if your status is asylum pending(especially since you saw a paper pile of your asylum file from the asylum office on the IO’s desk)...

Exactly!!! Aah maaan, your first interview experience was the most shocking thing I had ever read on this forum. Trust me, one day that a**hole IO from the first interview will find you in a position of power and you’ll treat them well and they’ll be sooo ashamed of how they treated you.

Wow, I’m really glad it worked out, your GC is officially among the most expensive ones on this forum , but it was still worth it! Kudos for persevering. I asked this question because some forum members asked a few months back what to resubmit and what not to resubmit in the case one needs to...

I knew they’d ask for one document which they might have missed in the file you sent, and that being at home would make it easier to retrieve it and copy it quickly . Awesome job! Sounds like it should be a smooth sale from here. You will have 2 things to celebrate in the near future: your GCs...

I see, it makes sense; did you resend the application fees (I-485 +biometrics fees)?

Awesome, thanks for sharing! What documents did you submit with the second application, and what documents did you NOT resubmit?

Congratulations and thank you for sharing the timeline, we are all here(I’m sure) relieved to hear it all ended well for your application. One important detail most of us who are informed about the unacceptable way you were treated during the first interview would like to know is: 1) did you...

Oh maaan, I am so glad to hear your health’s outlook is looking very promising and that you are feeling much much better. Everything happens for a reason, you’re a survivor and you’ll come out of this stronger. And on top of that, no interview setting can be better than your own home...if they...

Probably not, although some previous AoSers have been successful in doing so with the Arlington, VA asylum office in DV2018, it’s not guaranteed to work with all asylum offices. Consider this: it might cause your Asylum office to terminate your pending application (assuming that you’ll be...

After doing what others on this forum have advised you to do (above posts), and if August ends without an Interview, contact your US Congressperson and ask them to contact the FO to status inquire about your case, but as others said, it might not be necessary given that the FO know about the FY...

The lack of DV program deadline information shown by some customer service officers on the phone is quite something...they make it sound like you’re mistaken about the implications of the FY deadline, and they can mislead you until it’s too late...

You didn’t answer the question about your visa(which visa/status?are you on?) also, some countries and occupations are subject to longer background checks (what country are you from?) Only time will tell if you’ll receive a denial or not, as the IO said “don’t be surprised you receive a...

Sorry to hear you had that unfortunate surprise at the end of the interview. Unfortunately this has happened before, some FOs are really strict on what your IO said (“on or after October 1st”). If you get a denial, you may resubmit your AoS file as soon as you receive the denial letter(assuming...

Congratulations on your interview!! Damo’s idea is prudent: seeing if another medical report form may be signed, packed and sealed for USCIS’s use is the most proactive step, especially since the officer wasn’t sure the form you handed to her would be accepted, it is likely the medical form copy...
