you also may want to start putting together the docs for the AOS package while you are waiting for 2NL

@Sm1smom Mom, do we include originals with the AOS packet where applicable (like DV fee payment receipt, translations, etc.) and take copies to the interview? Or vice versa? Thank you!

@Sm1smom Mom, one other thing, i forgot to include a summer job on the DS-260. Is that a big deal? should ask them to unlock the form? Will that delay my 2NL? Also, will the supporting documentation for the i-134 need to go with the AOS packet, or just show them during the interview? Thanks mom!!

thanks mom!!

Born and raised citizen. So will a birth certificate work? I'm just trying to avoid having my sponsor get a passport just for me, but if that needs to be done, then that's what we'll do.

i'm guessing driver's license won't work? will an expired passport work? and if not should I go ahead and ask my sponsor to get a passport then? thanks mom!

@Sm1smom Mom, my sponsor is filling out the i-134, and has a question regarding item 11: "i intend to OR do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person". Should the answer be "Intend to" or "Do not intend to". In reality if i need money from my sponsor i can ask no...

Is the passport required? my sponsor has not traveled outside the country lately, so no passport...

i think he means he's been waiting for the 2NL for 3 months

nope still nothing... i'm guessing sometime soon, i hope :)

hahaha that's why you pointed it out in the first place. i'm with you... yes i am current in October.

I was expecting to go current in October before the bulletin came out, that's why I went ahead and paid the fee. Now that the bulletin is out, i know i will be current in October :)

Fees paid expecting to go current in October, and i will be current in October. Medical should be done in the next couple of weeks, haven't had time yet. The plan is to get everything ready by Oct 1, not doing early filing. I'm guessing the 2NL should come in by then.

submitted mine on the 13th of May, still nothing.

i knew one could work, but i didn't realize there was no need for a separate EAD card to work. Thanks for the link though!

Oh I didn't know I didn't need an EAD if I had a GC! Nevermind! Thanks for clearing that up, otherwise I would have included that with the AOS package. Thanks mom!

Mom, I was originally planning on applying for EAD card along with the AOS package, thinking that I will need an EAD card so might as well do that with the AOS package (plus saving on fees?). But now your comment makes me doubt applying for the EAD. Why shouldn't I? Also, if I don't apply with...

it's supposed to be emailed. i've been checking my spam folder regularly now, just to make sure :)

New bulletin posted - October 2016 eligibility: AFRICA 9,100 Except: Egypt: 8,000 Ethiopia: 8,000 ASIA 2,800 Except: Nepal: 2,400 EUROPE 9,150 NORTH AMERICA (BAHAMAS) 2 OCEANIA 275 SOUTH AMERICA, and the CARIBBEAN 475

I'd suggest reviewing the visa bulletin for prior years and seeing when your number became current based on history. I would personally wait until you know for sure that your number will be current before you make the payment, because otherwise you could (unfortunately) be out of $330.
