hello AOS 2009! It has been a while since I've posted on these boards but I just wanted to tell you all a story which I thought you'd appreciate. many of you, like me, applied for the DV lottery on numerous occasions before winning it and were always skeptical about whether it was ever going...

congratulations NataliaS! guess the "evil" New York office you and I both know so well knows a winner when they see one! enjoy!

congrats santay, kakaco and NataliaS and welcome to the club! :D

haha! good things come to those who wait!! congratulations kakako and santay!

congrats Kakaco! I am glad everything worked out for the best!! don't worry about the status online- I checked mine today for laughs and it still says that they have accepted my fingerprint fee... which was on October 7, 2008!! let us know when the card arrives!

see!!!! we told you not to worry!! congrats horizon67! (on a funny note- my online status on the USCIS website still has not changed since October 2008!!)

horizon67- don't worry! I had possibly the worst interview experience recorded here so far (see previous posts) in that they did not take away my I94 and flat out told me they knew nothing of my case etc etc and they gave me the same letter they gave you. Less than a month later, I had the GC...

I would definitely schedule an infopass. November to March is a long time to be waiting for an interview letter- no matter how slow your local office is!

finally! wow the New York office really is slow....

I would not rely on the status online too much. I received my green card two weeks ago and according to the status online, it is still stuck to when they cashed the fingerprinting fee check!!

we will be keeping our fingers crossed for you!! keep us posted once you return.... and have a great time with your family!

best of luck kakaco! we will all have our fingers crossed for you!

glad dematra made your day on the first part of your question- as for the second part, you do have to contact SS Admin to get a new card (one that does not say Not valid for Employment without INS Authorization). I know this because a friend of mine who has been a citizen since 2001 still has...

Do you carry your green card with you at all times? Question: I have heard conflicting opinions regarding this. Those of you who have received it- do you carry it with you at all times (ie. not just when you are traveling?) My gut reaction is not to carry it on an everyday basis- as I do...

congrats DMBfan! on a happy note, I received my actual green card today!! :D was surprised to see that a) it was not green and b) that the day of issuance on it was my interview date and not the date of the approval of the 485 as reflected on the I797. still minor details!! :D I...

thanks for your input dematra! do you think therefore that one should wait to have the actual card in hand before leaving? I did not apply for AP because I was told that it was useless given that I was still in valid H1B status. Should I have to allow for travel in this limbo period (after...

follow up question Now that the fact that I am the proud recipient of a welcome to the US letter I have a couple of housekeeping questions: My I94 was never removed from my passport. Do I just leave it in and have them take it out the next time that I go abroad? Similarly, my H1B visa...

I doubt that they would reject the case. Did you check the forms to see whether or not the mistake was accidentally done by you or your lawyers? It was probably just a typo- I think you would have noticed if they had written the wrong sex down during the process up until now....

thank you all for the good wishes! matutelandia is correct- we have cleared the biggest hurdle by being picked, now we just need to be patient (though at times it is REALLY hard!) !!!! :D

Finally good news!!! Well my dear AOS family, the day finally arrived! Late last night as I was sorting through the junkmail, I saw another envelope from USCIS and at first I thought, great, another fingerprint notice, but then I opened it and lo and behold, my Welcome to the United States...
