    The statement above is true - at least in my case it was. I did not include a cover letter with my application. Also, instead of mailing it to the Lockbox, I did a courier delivery. Minto provided a great explanation on how things work; but I also do believe that the key thing for a speedy and...

    This is mostly what my experience has been, but it varies as you can clearly see it on the spreadsheet: CPO: Card Production Order: Under Card/Document Production I saw a notice about a week after my interview saying "On [this day] we ordered the production of your new card" - that's the Card...

    I actually scanned that sheet, but somehow can't upload it here, so I am quoting from the 2012 Diversity Lottery Winners checklist I got from my Field Office back in June: "Supporting Evidence for Form I-485" - "You should submit the following evidence with your form I-485": "Two passport style...

    The "list of documents" I got from my field office back in the day for the 2012 winners; it is clearly stated there that a certified translation of your high school diploma is required with your I-485 package.

    High school diploma is indeed a part of your I-485 package (copy), but in most cases, if you are on an education visa (F-1, or whatever you name it), when it comes to the interview day, they are also well aware of the situation that you wouldn't have made it this far into your education career...

    Putting everything aside, we all know that it is a sequential process; that is we take one step at a time until the interview. Let me explain what I actually mean, we pay the $330 (times the number of applicants), then you get your receipt, and then your AOS email/notification. Then, you wait...

    AHA! This comes directly from the USCIS My Case Status webpage: "On January 18, 2013, your I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was approved."

    Thank you! I know! They received my package on Dec 3rd; and I made it to the interview on Jan 18th - just 1.5 months. However, I did not really feel secure leaving the interview room today - just because as I said in the previous post that I did not experience things similar to what other...

    I had my interview about two hours ago... My experience was quite different than what most of you have shared - so here it goes: I arrived about 50 minutes early, they notified my interviewer; and then I waited for about 10 minutes and was called in. She asked for my interview letter and my...

    You're welcome. The reason why they don't ask for financial documents / affidavit of support in my opinion is that if you have a valid I-20, you must have stated a person (perhaps your family) that covers your education and living expenses. So my guess would be as long as you haven't had any...

    They did not specifically mention anything about financial documents in my interview letter.

    Well, yes, I will definitely be taking those with me. I don't have anything listed on the back. It's a single page interview letter in the format of: "Please come to the location..." Location Date and time Examining officer Reason for appointment "Bring this letter and the items listed below..."...

    My interview is set for this coming Friday, the 18th... On the letter, there is a specific list of documents they want me to bring with me. I was wondering if anyone of you being on F1 visa and went through the interview could advise me of any additional documents I should take there with me...

    Hi all, I have a question for those of you going through/has gone through AOS on F-1 visa: Say if I were a senior and I will be graduating next semester, and I will be a part-time student (I have to file an RCL form at the campus). Also assume I have an enrollment verification form and it is...

    Greetings all, Some of the latest replies got me worried - particularly the ones about receiving the second letter. I sent my forms to KCC in mid-July, and by late-August they were processed - I had this confirmed during a phone call. However, I have not received anything other than the $330...
