You will still be in status between June 1 and July 8, no worries. You can definitely do AOS. Whether AOS is the way to go is dependent on when your number is likely to become current. If this year's trend holds for next year, July will likely be it for your number. For CP, you need to go...

Yes, college no degree. Any other choice would be inaccurate and could jeopardize your application. Or you could check "other" and explain you're graduating in 2014, but I think that this is implied in the "college, no degree" field.

Does he even know what the definition of a scam is?

I don't think they'll extend the H1B beyond the 6 years. I believe they require that you leave the country for 1 full year before reapplying for an H1B. If his case number becomes current in October or November, I believe he'll still be within the grace period so he can apply for AOS.

The fact there's a possibility of not getting an interview doesn't mean you're likely not to have an interview. You are just so negative to people here. What's wrong with you?! Now that I've joined the long list of people who criticized you, let me guess: I'm a fraud too? :D

Oh I see. To be honest I don't know how that works. You should contact the KCC and ask them just to be sure. If they allow you to immigrate without your wife, you can then claim her separately (it will be unconnected to the DV). If I'm not mistaken, the current wait time for spouses of GC...

The quota for Europe is higher than Asia, so there are more European selectees.

You need to list every school. Since you don't have your degree yet, mark no degree. If your interview next year is after your graduation, you can update your information with the KCC with your graduation and take your diploma to your interview.

They don't send paper mail anymore so you can only check online. Unfortunately it means you weren't selected. Check again a few months from now (around October) just in case, but otherwise try to forget about it and move on.

If you are married and don't include your wife on the forms, you will be refused a visa since that's fraud. In fact, it can get you banned from the US for life. Include your wife, and file a waiver for her if needed.

I just received an email from the post office that my forms have reached KCC! I'm sure my file is among the first arrivals considering it's only been 1 week since the announcement of results. If date of arrival makes a difference at any point in the process, I'm happy I've done what I could to...

Hi Koo! Good luck on your interview!! Please keep us posted on how everything went. I believe I will likely be interviewed next May as well. Are you interviewing in Addis? That's where I'll be doing it.

I'm a bit obsessed - I've already prepared most of my documents lol. My CN is so high that I just want to gather everything together in the next couple of months then just forget about the whole thing and go about my life as if I didn't win. In the off-chance I don't get an interview, that's the...

Truer words were never said. When I think about the fact I applied for a full decade before finally winning, it just blows my mind that people who don't even care about it were winning and wasting their once-in-a-lifetime chance.

If the winner of the lottery is from Nepal, yes the wife will get a visa even if she's from a non-qualifying country. Even if your wife wins, you can all qualify for a visa if she selects your country of birth as the country of chargeability. You can schedule your interview wherever you want...

Dude, why did you do that?! Some of the stuff people do is just mind-boggling :confused:. I really think this is really going to be problematic for you. I suppose you can complete the forms accurately and send them in, but I think you've shot your chance. Like, how are you going to explain your...

Which september? 2014? If your number becomes current then, you likely won't have time to process an AOS.

If you have a high case number, you won't be current anytime soon. What is your number? As for AOS, there's a long thread on the first page. Read it completely.

Congratulations on your visa Makiki! I can't wait to report the same news a year from now :D

No it won't. Personally I think you should hold off on that - being a new immigrant is HARD. New immigrant while pregnant is even harder. But that's just me and of course all our circumstances are different.
