Folks, Had a lunch at Chinese place today, and my fortune cookie told me "You'll find today what you've been looking for". My wife didn't know about it, but when I came home she greeted me by saying "We have a game today, called Find Your Greencard". And yes, the Fortune cookie was right, I...

Aah, the bloody thing is over! So, our interview was done on 3/28. We arrived half an hour early, San Jose field office looked empty, we were admitted almost immediately. The officer was neither friendly nor anything, I couldn't read off his poker face a thing. My wife, the winner, took the...

congrats yoyoko, loula and TX1408. glad it went so smoothly for all of you

Called KCC today to find out if they've sent our file to USCIS. Here's what the representative told me: 1. It takes them 4 weeks to process paper mail, from time they receive it to the moment it appears on your file 2. It takes them 3-5 business days to do the same with your email. 3. USCIS...

Here's your required list of documents to apply for AOS. You need first NL and payment receipt. Second NL is nowhere on it...

Hi Leynabee, Is your stepdaughter going to do CP and immigrate to the US? If yes, then your situation is different and your lawyer is doing the right thing by preparing I-824. I really don't know what happens with DV fees that you have to pay to DoS for your stepdaughter in this case (i'd think...

If your number is less than 27,800, go ahead and file immediately. Just look at this spreadsheet and see how many people with greencards (rows in green) filed their docs before they were current (compare the columns Current and AOS In Chicago): https: slash slash...

We did a walk-in biometrics in ASC San Jose today. They didn't mind accepting us, with only caveat being "we will give priority to the people who have appointments scheduled for today". This meant nothing though considering there was no line at all. Couple of interesting facts about San Jose...

Bringing this issue up as someone in a similar situation might not be aware of it. While browsing the forum last Friday, i've stumbled upon this post from Newbe2011 and realized we're in the same boat. My daughter from previous marriage is residing with her mom in her home country and not...

Hi All, the timeline spreadsheet has been stale for a while. Why don't those of us who've made some progress recently go ahead and update it please https: slash slash spreadsheets.google.com/a/google.com/ccc?key=0AiIES8k5SLbQdE9RLWxpX1pDa1FneS16cUs4ODFZSUE&hl=en#gid=0

Yet another question on AOS package assembly. The page "General Tips on Assembling Applications for Mailing" tells to use ACCO fasteners to hold together the application, while the page "Tips for Filing Petitions and Applications to the National Benefits Center" (which includes Chicago Lockbox)...

Hi again, We're filing two i-485 simultaneously (winner and her spouse). Can anyone please advice, do we need to enclose single cover letter for the whole package, or one per each i-485 app?

So if we both apply for AOS at the same time, does it make sense at all for one to provide an affidavit of support for another?

Hi All, my wife won a lottery, i'm derivative (sponsored by her). I work, she's a housewife. We have enough savings in joint bank account, and I can show all my W-2s. Do I still need to file affidavit of support for her?

Would someone please clarify couple little things for me. My dear wife won the lottery - do we now need to send two I-485s or just one? If two, we still can include both in the same package, right? Also, in Part 2 of I-485, she will have to check (a.) and I will have to check (b.) (if I need a...

Thank you for the link, this is very helpful. As for the travel, from what I know as long as there is a valid visa you can travel without advanced parole while I-485 is pending.

Happy New Year everyone! hope this will be the lucky year for all of us. I'll most likely become current in March so i'm going to mail in I-485 next week immediately after the bulletin becomes available. I'm also planning international travel end of this month (i'm on L1 so no issues with...

reposting from parent forum: 1. Is it possible to switch to Consular Processing after you've filed DS-122 with KCC specifying that you want to adjust status from within the US? 2. Is it possible to switch to Consular Processing after you've filed I-485 with USCIS?

FYI - NL1 finally reached us, we are at 18xxx for Europe, which gives an anticipated timeframe of Jan-Mar next year for visa to become available. With this in mind, we'll stick to adjustment of status for now. Still what's unclear is if we send any documents to KCC upfront, does it trigger...

I don't know my case # yet since notification letter got lost. Even after Aug 1, KCC won't give these out, asking to file the forms (assume 122) instead and asap. I'm in the US and will default to AOS, but if when KCC sends NL2 and I find out that the case number is too high, will there still...
