called the KCC this morning to ask if my IO requested the KCC file for my interview on 1/21. I was told that KCC file was not requested so I guess that might delay the process a tiny bit after the interview. I will try to politely bring it up during the interview, but hopefully IO realizes s/he...

update: received my interview letter today for an interview on 1/21/16. praying mode: on :) BTW case status never updated online.

FWIW, i included a "cover letter", with the following info, just because i wanted to emphasize that docs were double sided, otherwise i didn't really see the need to include one. And I didn't file early. "Name: Submission type: DIVERSITY VISA BASED ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS APPLICATION FORMS...

just received my 2NL, submitted DS-260 on May 13th.

i believe curricular practical training is NOT unauthorized employment.

i think it's regular mail

Ivo, have you served in the military? Sounded like you did. So have I, and I just wasn't sure if that affects the final yes/no decision. Congrats on your GC!

@Sm1smom Mom, do they run a credit check and/or check how much debt i have when they run a background check? I remember seeing someone's post about FBI and name checks, just wasn't sure about credit checks. Thank you!

Mom, I have applied for OPT before (my undergrad) and I remember seeing an A# there. Would that be applicable?

@Sm1smom Mom, i found your post on how to assemble the AOS package in the 2015 thread - http://forums.immigration.com/threads/dv-2015-aos-only.7/page-130#post-2400262 I think it might be useful to others, if you also include it in the AOS spreadsheet.

I would send it on November 1st. As I understand, it's fine as long as it gets there on November 1st or after, but not before. You can send it earlier attaching the early filing memo in the spreadsheet, but Mom recommended not to do it. You don't have to have the 2NL to submit the AOS package. I...

Yes "H" and I put "DIVERSITY VISA LOTTERY - LETTER ATTACHED"

@Sm1smom Mom, on i-485 question 18 asks for "have you ever received any type of military, paramilitary, or weapons training?". I have served in the army back home which was mandatory and I plan on attaching a certified translated copy of my military record to the AOS package. Is that all OK...

that's what i was thinking i'd do in case i needed it, but then changed my mind thinking i have insurance and why go through the hassle. idiot.

I went to get a medical done yesterday, and apparently i needed tetanus shot. I have an insurance, but the receptionist said i'd have to pay them directly full price ($55) for the vaccination and file a claim myself, because "insurance doesn't pay much". WTH!? Now i'm not sure if I confront them...

@Sm1smom Mom, it seems that the form i-485 on USCIS' website has expired on 06/30/15 (top right corner). Is that going to be an issue? Where do we get new forms?

i see. nobody has mentioned anything about it either. Thanks!

what did you put on your cover letter?

To be honest, as much as i want to, i'm not going to. Based on reading the 2015 thread, and how much trouble that one person went through after being denied for filing early, i'm just going to wait it out. it's just 30 days, plus we are in the beginning of the line for 2016, so no real need to...
