Greencard received! Hi folks! I'm here to report on the last step of my journey. Following the interview, my online status jumped to card production soon after (on the same day as interview), and then a dew days later jumped back to decision, and then proceeded to post decision and finally...

Thanks for the feedback rgm_rc! I appreciate your congrats and comments! There is a fair bit of variation in interview procedure, especially given all the questions that they can possibly ask...but don't! So, it's good to know my experience was nothing out of the ordinary, and the subsequent...

Interview done! Dear AOS folks, I'm happy to share further news ---- today I had my I485 AOS interview, and overall I can say it went great. My interview was at the Los Angeles USCIS field office in the morning. There was only one interviewing officer on duty (not sure if that is normal)...

I-485 interview date Hi folks! Just posting a little update on my experience. I completed the biometrics by "walk-in" ahead of the scheduled appointment. The "Application Support Center" (ASC) location in Los Angeles was very quiet, with nice security guards. It made for a very pleasant...

Hi Strictly_Analog! Good to hear your progress update, and the continued smooth progression. I received my e-notification (SMS + email) of I-485 acceptance yesterday; very happy about that! I'm waiting for the official documents now, and next is biometrics. I'm considering doing walk-in for...

Thanks! And good luck on your pending interview! I'll look forward to reading your comments on the process! Cheers and best wishes, ETL

Update from another AOS applicant Hello everyone, I just wished to post here with my update --- I've been posting in the other 2012 AOS thread mostly, but posting here also for people do not read both. My case will be current in March, and I just sent my I-485; see my signature for...

Update: I-485 in the mail! @Strictly_Analog: Was great to hear the positive outcome on this third attempt! I'm glad to read the ball is finally rolling for you after the odd beginning! I hope things continue to go smoothly for you! @NuvF: No wisdom having two threads...I agree one...

Hi Strictly_Analog, I'm very sorry to hear this news. It seems they are being very specific with submission at the time your CN is current. But, what did you find out of your submission? Why was it rejected a second time? I hope your lawyer is being helpful in this matter. Have you...

Hey Strictly_Analog! I was just reading through this thread, catching up on posts, and I was very pleased to read your news at the very end -- I was wondering how things were going for you! For me, the OC (Oceania) region case numbers are moving a little slow, so I am predicting to be current...

Hi there Strictly_Analog! Yes, I received the email with attachments, too --- KCC must have used my email from the DV entry because I've never provided my email to them since that time! My letter did not mention by D.O.B.; rather just case number, my name, preference category, and foreign...

Thank-you Strictly_Analog and waterfall123 for your comments on police check for us AOS folk --- really appreciate it! I have a while before my CN becomes current, so, I have time to get it. I have an old copy of my birth certificate --- am thinking of requesting a new one. It was only a...

Police checks for AOS people? Appears unnecessary... Dear Strictly_Analog, You've done a great job responding to all the posts in this thread! Thanks for keeping up-to-date and offering your advice! I've been extremely busy the past few weeks and didn't have time to check-in until now...

If you are familiar with the Visa Bulletin you will be able to answer this. Based on DV-2011, your case number would become current in May. See www . travel . state . gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5424.html So, assuming DV-2012 number are approximately the same, then around April/May 2012 you...

Please see the thread: "DV 2012 - AOS - step by step" That's right, there are many DV 2012 AOS threads, which is why I recommended a few posts above to post in a different one that has been popular the last few days. Please see the thread: "DV 2012 - AOS - step by step"

That's a good question Ocean3. I am meeting with USCIS on Tuesday next week and plan to ask them this exact question. I believe the answer is "US Department of State", but I will confirm it. I believe CN can be written on front of check --- you could ask at the bank or post office where you...

Yes, I think it is okay to travel after filing DSP-122. I need to travel out of the US in Jan 2012, which I anticipate is 1-2 month before I will submit I-485, and so I asked an immigration lawyer about it. The lawyer said it is only when we file I-485 that our F-1 will be suspended. Filing...
