We had our interview yesterday in NY and we got approved! So glad this is all over! This was our third year of trying the lottery and it has been such a journey. We couldn't have have done it without the help from this forum so thank you all that have contributed with your experiences and...

Yes husband is the principal and employed. When we received the Request for Evidence attachement it says my husband has to submit the following: -Form I-134 Affidavit of support and supporting docs -Evidence of personal financial assets (bank statements, stocks,bonds, real estate etc) -Offer...

Hi, interview is coming up and I'm wondering if anyone has had experience filling out the I-134 affidavit of support. My husband is the principle and I am currently unemployed so supported by him so for question 11 where it asks whether the applicant intends or not to make specific contributions...

Urgent question! Has anyone known of any one who has had to reschedule their interview date and what happened? Do they put you back to end of the line so to speak? Would we have to wait weeks or months for another appointment? We realised that my husband wouldn't be back from his work trip til...

Thanks for the clarification Sm1smom! I didn't know this fact.

Hi reza29m I did write on the margin of our I-485s "DV LOTTERY CASE; PLEASE COMPLETE I-485 PROCESSING BY SEPTEMBER 30, 2013" and I think i may have written it on the envelope also. We were current in April and just received our interview letter for July 10th. I don't think it hurt to have done...

Hi AOS2013, not sure if anyone has answered you regarding travelling with pending I-485 but when I received my EAD (didn't apply for AP) I got a slip of paper regarding AP saying that AP was necessary for travel with a pending I-485 or else you will forfeit the application. It is not advised to...

Hi everyone, just to let you know that we received our interview letters today for July 10th. We're in NY. I received my EAD (work authorization) about 2 weeks ago and we were current in April. I know some NY folks are getting anxious about receiving interview letters (as were we) and so I hope...

Just putting this question out there again because it may have gotten lost with the flurry of messages from the new DV winner ;) Does anyone know if a valid O1 visa holder needs Advance Parole papers? Thanks

Yes you do need to send 2 photos with the AP application. Read through the downloadable PDF instructions that accompany the I-131, all requirements are stated on there.

Thanks sm1smom, in our case the principle is on an O1 so do you know if this is the same as H1B holders where you don't need the AP. The visa is valid and stamped in the passport.

As far as I can tell from this forum nobody is sending their DSP-122 and DS-230 via email. Of course that would sound suspicious as all submission of documents is only ever by mail if people consult the the official/USCIS website and follow the instructions. Even if a person chooses to send by...

THanks for the clarification. For anyone who has applied for the Advance parole in Part 1, number 3. Class of Admission what should we put in this this? Do i put whatever the current visa status is or something else that indicates a pending green card? Also what should we do for dates of...

Advance Parole Hi, thanks for all the great help and advice on this thread. Our number was current in April and we submitted the paperwork mid April. Last week we got notification of the biometrics appointment. I wasn't expecting either myself or my spouse (DV winner) to be needing to travel...

Supporting Documents for I-485 Hi, I'm curious to know what is the least I can send with the I-485. My husband's number was current at the beginning of April but i've held back from sending the package out because he is still waiting on some tax return transcripts and his employment letter. Are...

Thanks varxx, I just took a look at the I-134 and it is intense! I can understand why it is hard to get anyone other than a family member or very close friend or employer to sign this. Does it basically mean that even though you have a green card you are not able to access public assistance if...

How long does the EAD take to come through after filing? Hi, thanks for the great advice so far for us all doing AOS. My husband is the principle applicant and I have been doing the paperwork for the both of us. Trying to avoid a $750 fee that the lawyer tried to charge us for checking through...

Question about AOS filing fee Hi, new to posting but have been reading the thread and found invaluable advice and help so far. So thanks to the posters. I feel i know more about the process than when I have spoken with an immigration attorney from just reading up on forums like this. Anyway, I...
