    filing tax for H1B worker and spouse on H4 (no ITIN)

    DV 2013 AOS Only

    Is a police report required when doing AOS? if yes: Then I assume a USA police report will do, since anyone doing AOS is already legally in the USA. Is this correct? I suppose we're not going to be asked to go back to Europe/Africa/Asia/etc. just to fetch a police report there right?

    Can DV-2013 winners subscribe for DV-2014 again?

    Hello all, I did win the DV-2013 (jay) but as I am not sure if I will also really get the greencard (you know 100.000 people get selected, 50.000 greencards are hended out... meaning.... another 50.000 people will eventually not get the greencard, which hypothetically could be me...) So my...

    Adding CASE details in SIGNATURE

    I really, seriously, cannot find the "Edit signature" option in my profile. Also the "Control Panel" is now renamed to "My profile". I reckon these instructions must have changed since I am replying to a 5 year old post... never the less, I cannot work out how to add a signature.

    Adding a signature to my profile

    Hi all, call me an idiot - but I spent just 30 minutes trying to add a "Signature" to my profile. I searched the forums and everyone goes like oh its simple: click "My profile" then "About me" and add the signature. Well, there is no such option in my profile. I also clicked on any other butto...

    How much time between interview and getting GC / work permit

    just to clarify: I already have a work permit in the US (H1B), but my wife has not (she is on a H4). We did enter the DV2013 separately back in 2011 when we were not married yet. So now that I won the lottery (she did not), I wonder if it matters at all who exactly won the lottery, since we are...

    How much time between interview and getting GC / work permit

    Cheers that's a good pointer. So, I am the DV lottery winner- does this mean that my wife will also automatically get a work permit the minute our greencard arrive in the mail? Or does obtaining a work permit another step? (from what I understand, a greencard = a work permit but I am not 100% sure.)

    DV cut-off dates Europe (1995 to 2013) graph

    Here is a graph where I extrapolated the current processing speed trend for case numbers EU17000 and EU25000. http://www.anony.ws/i/2012/10/13/5QXPq.png I also do have a 17xxx EU case number. Based upon my graph above, I am guessing case number EU 17000 will get processed between March and...

    How much time between interview and getting GC / work permit

    Well, actually: I am in the USA already and have been here for a while on a H1B, so I have had a SSN and all for a few years already. But I am interested to know b/c my wife is on a H4 and should be getting a GC, SSN (and thus a work permit) right. So I like to know: how long does that process...

    How much time between interview and getting GC / work permit

    Hi all, I am trying to understand this: how much time is there, usually, between the date of the interview and getting the actual greencard / work permit (assuming that the interview goes well) Very broad, basic question, I know but it's pretty hard for me to understand this part of the...

    Won DV2013, wrong Date of birth

    Hi, 1) my birth certificate is from The Netherlands and they are by default "international, long form" meaning they are translated into like 20 different languages, including Latin, Greek, English, German, French, etc etc. 2) I am in the EU00017xxx region. I think that means my case number...

    Hi all, here is a graph of all the cut-off dates for Europe since 1995 till now. I have updated it to december 2013, and it should allow us to tell a little bit about the trend and processing speed. For Europe things look a little bleak, as it is quite slow! See here (note: you can...
