I'm preparing myself for my interview later this month. If my application is approved, would I have to leave my passport with the IO for insertion of a Diversity Visa, or does this apply only in the case of CP? And would my F1 visa be cancelled by the IO at that point?

I've just returned home and found the interview letter in my mailbox. It's dated December 16 and the interview date is January 22. Hopefully that will go smoothly and my application will be approved.

Thank you for your kind assistance, and I extend to you and your family my very best wishes for a peaceful and happy Christmas.

I'm away from home until the end of the month and therefore don't have access to my mail. My concern is that the interview letter might arrive with short notification causing the possibility of missing the interview. I tried to contact the relevant Field Office but the phone number listed in the...

A question for those who have already received interview letters, was your Case Status changed to reflect that an interview was being scheduled? And was this done in advance of the interview date?

Just out of curiosity, what was the issue date of the interview letter? Good luck at the interview.

Thank you for the response. A follow-up question: I imagine that there is not an across-the-board standard and it most likely varies from one FO to the next, but typically and on average how much advance notice is given of an interview date?

Are the interview letters sent by email or regular mail? I will be visiting another state during the Christmas period and would not want to miss receiving the letter if by chance it's sent to me during that time.

I should have mentioned that I submitted my I-485 package, it was accepted, and I have done the biometrics, so I'm just waiting for the interview letter.

It's still early days but in light of the delays and the uncertainty as to when the "problem" with the transfer of files is likely to be resolved, is switching from AOS to CP an option? And what is the process for doing so?

I am in the process of finalizing my AOS package. I understand that I should not staple documents together, but is it okay to staple together the pages of a multi-page document? For example, the I-485 is 6 pages long. Should I staple the pages together or use a paper clip? I know the issue may...

I am in the process of competing the DS-260 and would like assistance on the question of the last 5 visits to the US. I have been studying in the US for a number of years with a recent trip out of the US where I returned on July 24. If I list this as my last "visit" to the US I also need to...

A follow up to your much appreciated response. 1. I had travelled out of the US on July 13 and returned on July 24. If I submit the DS-260 at the beginning of September, which would be approx. 40 days after my last admission into the US, would that be safe enough in terms of the issue of...

Can anyone offer me some advice? I would really appreciate it.

I have not submitted my DS-260 as yet as I am studying in the US on an F1 visa and plan to apply for AOS but had to travel out of the US in the latter part of July. In view of the 30/60 rule I plan to wait until the end of this month or early September to submit the DS-260. In the meantime can...

Will my applying for Adjustment of Status as a result of being selected for DV-2015 affect my F1 status as a graduate student especially in terms of the ability to work on campus? Working in one of the university labs as a research assistant is an integral aspect of my program and the basis for...

I meant the I-134, not I-136.

While I know that it's a few months away, I'm compiling all the information I can to ensure that i don't make any mistakes. In submitting Form I-485, apart from the various forms (G-325A, G-1145 etc.) and the medical report (I-693) am I required to submit the originals of any other documents or...

I posted a similar question on www.avvo.com namely what are the implication of filing DS-260 on returning to the US in late July vis-a-vis the 30/60 rule, and the following is the advice provided by one of the attorneys: "No, don't worry! The 30/60/90 day rule you're referring to only starts to...

I have an F-1 visa, have been in status all the time and will remain in status until I file.
