Unless a petition was filed on your behalf before April 2001, you can't receive a green card through the Diversity Lotto. I too was an illegal immigrant until I won the DV Lotto last year. BUT, luckily for me, my aunt filed a petition for my family and I in January 1998. I'm sorry.

When I type in my zipcode it says Holtsville. My worry is that NBC doesn't realize that some FOs don't handle DV cases. So they just assign or, in his case, gives the choice of the wrong FO based solely on zipcode.

Well the FO is not SOLELY based on one's zipcode. In my case, my zipcode automatically zoned me to a FO that didn't didn't handle DV winners... So hopefully the Lawrence officers deal with DV cases.

Hi EternalHope! Our stories are very similar. I was undocumented just like you before I won the DV 2011. I came to this country when I was 7 years old, in 1994, on a visitor Visa. Before we arrived to this country, my citizen grandfather was suppose to have filed for us but he unfortunately...

Guys I can't believe what happened with the DV2012 drawing. It's unbelievable how something so good can be basically snatched away from you. *sigh* I feel for the thousands of people who believed they won. But on the same hand, I'm excited that my brother has another shot at winning. *cross...

Yup. Both my EAD and Green Card came via USPS Priority Mail.

it feels good, natta. thank youuu

Green Card!! Just got it in the mail :)

You have to bring the I-134. In November, I received a Request for Evidence that said I needed to send them a I-864. When I got to my interview, last week, my officer said I sent the wrong form. She said I needed the I-134. Luckily I knew something like that would happen, so I brought a I-134...

Welcome Letter today :)

She actually took the EAD and said I wouldn't be needing it anymore but quickly added that if I wasn't approved someone would call for me to pick up my EAD. The fact that she added the last part scared me. But anywhooo, I can't believe I'm officially no longer an undocumented alien. I've been...

omg guys. just checked. CPO! wow. I can't believe it. I'm in shock.

=) I hope so!

also, yes. I applied for Worth Authorization under this process.

hi Yoni. You're also doing 245i, correct? I guess you didn't read about what happened a couple of months ago. I did get an interview letter for January 13th, but when I got to the interview, the officer was totally unfamiliar with the DV process and how 245i can be applied to a winner...

Just came back from my interview. It went well. it was only 15mins. The officer had a list of the 245i requirements, so she just went through the list. I had all the paper work (high school diploma, etc) and she seemed ok with everything. She wrote in my in my passport 'I485 pending' and took...

For April 19th in NYC.

Hey guys.. I finally was rescheduled for a new interview date. The 2 month wait was nervous-inducing. But I'm happy that everything seems to be coming along again.

I'm still waiting. She said I should get it within the month, so I'm hoping I'll get it before 2/13/11.

My interview did not go as planned. Remember that I'm filing under 245i. Well, my interviewer was CLEARLY unfamiliar with the law. Just to give you guys a background on my story: My aunt filed a petition for my father in January 1998. I aged out of that petition. So when my father received his...
