frankly I'm kind of worried I won't...

they closed the embassy in my home country (Libya) I think AOS makes more sense....

my case number is actually 48XXX I checked last years bulletin and that means my number would current sometime in July... so I basically have to wait a year... now I heard the cut off is Sept. 30, would I be able to complete an AOS in that time before the deadline?

when can I expect to interview? I will be doing an adjustment of status and I am worried my case number will not become current in time.... any advice or experience on the matter?

I will in all likelihood go the DV route. Thanks for the advice!

Yes this would be a good way of solving your dilemma. good Luck!

Have you taken your BCG vaccine? Which continent are you from? It depends on where you are coming from... Doctors will scrutinize patients from endemic areas where TB is more prevalent (ex. Africa)... If you are in Europe for instance a negative PPD may be sufficient. Mind you if you have...

a positive skin test would only mean that the patient was exposed to TB (including vaccinated patients who received BCG vaccine)... What the medical examiner is trying to rule out is active open pulmonary TB and radiological imaging is necessary to rule out lesions in the lungs. you could...

as for alternatives..... you can do a CT scan of the chest... which has a radiation exposure roughly x1000 times greater than conventional X-rays.

I am a physician by profession... the gold standard for TB screening is a chest X-ray and a PPD skin test. I wouldn't worry too much about X-ray over exposure...

I was thinking along the exact same lines.... thanks

^ me likey :D

Supposing the relationship was genuine (not those idiotic scam marriages I keep hearing about) Would you go through the DV process and go for the 10 year unconditional green card? or opt for the 2 year conditional one via marriage? Apparently I'm being called selfish for wanting to pursue...

Wow... just wow How am I being selfish? please explain because I don't seem to understand where this is coming from, I'm new to this so maybe that's why... I am a first time applicant and was fortunate enough to be picked for further selection for the DV 2012. My relationship with my...

You should send the DSP-122 (+/- DS-230 parts I & 2 if you are not in the US), 2 photo ID's and the barcode from the selectee letter to the Kentucky Consular Center ASAP! this is a vital step in the further processing of selectees in the DV lottery process... As for applying for AOS...

I hust recently won the DV 2012 lottery, I will be marrying my fiance who happens to be a US citizen (this is a genuine union, not those scam marriages I keep hearing about) I was told I could apply for an unconditional GC through the DV process, get married and after 3 years of marriage...

I see no harm in calling them, if you don't mind the long waiting times.... I just fedexed my package and required a signature so I can track it online and know for sure when the Kentucky folks physically receive the package...

Thanks guys for the input, I really appreciate it. Good luck everyone!

So basically, If i get a green card through the DV but at the same time marry a US citizen (and remain married to her).... in 3 years I can apply for citizenship? regardless of the green card type?

This is by no means a scam marriage at all... I am very offended by anyone thinking that it is. We are getting married and I am not worried at all about getting divorced. In all likelihood, I will go down the DV path... even though my fiance is insisting otherwise. I just wanted to know...
