    DV 2013 AOS Only

    Guess what guys, someone just brought my card to the door, it was in their box! Wooohoo! Freaking USPS, the one important thing they need to deliver they fail on but the mountains of spam have no problem getting here... Really dodged a bullet there, man... Thanks a lot aos13 and everyone else...

    DV 2013 AOS Only

    I already made up some papers saying don't return the envelope to USPS, call my number or bring to my house. I'm really hoping it shows up... I will definitely pound the pavement as much as I can to get it, there's still a chance. Since we have that limit where we need to get the status by...

    DV 2013 AOS Only

    Problem is all the mailboxes are together in a big group of at least 100 or so and they have numbers that have nothing to do with the actual addresses, just 0-100 or so basically. Also, there are some "common" large boxes where parcels are delivered (you get the key to it in your box) and the...

    Huge neighborhood, could be anywhere, knocking on doors is not really an option I don't think... they may not even have checked their mail yet since boxes are in a central place away from the homes. Hoping it's either at the post office or in the truck etc or if someone got it by mistake they...

    Talked to the actual post office and they said they officially delivered the envelope. At that point the carriers had gone home and I checked again and there is no sign of the card. So it is officially lost... Goes to show it's not over until it's over.

    So I was saying how everything went very fast and smooth so far... Turns out there may be a hiccup in there now. And I was sooo close. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I got the 797 saying the status was approved a couple of days ago. And the card was supposed to arrive today...

    DV 2013 AOS Only

    Hey all, Quick update on the interview I had today. Got approved ok, everything went very smooth. Pretty much the whole process from when I was accepted went very well but involved a ton of research. Got called in pretty much at the exact time, the lady was very nice, some small talk. She only...

    Thanks Sm1smom! Yeah, that was kind of what I was thinking. They didn't ask for much at all, just one paper, no attachments, asking for passport, other immigration documents available and originals of any copies submitted. Will update on how it went. Only thing I'm really worried about is making...

    Quick question for those who already went through their interviews, since mine is in 2 days: Did the officer ask for copies of original papers in the interview? Because my file was pretty big, probably close to 100 pages and at least 2/3 of that were copies of things. Should I print it all out...

    My letter also contained no list of docs. Just one page with the address and date/time and asking for passport, i-94 and I think that was mostly it. But there was one other box that was ticked and said something general along the lines of "any relevant documents" and "originals". I really think...

    Hey guys, Quick question: yesterday I got my interview letter, it arrived pretty fast, doesn't ask for any supporting documents so that's good. However, the address on it is wrong. I am referring to my address, the address it was mailed to. One of the digits in the house number is wrong but I...

    Yeah looking around I found one article that says 2013 and 2014 are safe. Still, can't get it soon enough...

    Do you guys think there's any chance the proposed immigration reform could affect the 2013 DV winners? Because one of the things it contains is removing the Diversity Lottery. If it does pass and if by that point it still contains that item I would assume it should only affect 2014 and up and...

    I was in the same situation (well, still am) where my work is applying for the green card and I am also applying through the DV. They also haven't sent the 485 yet but they might fairly soon since there is no waiting period. I did quite a lot of looking around and the consensus seems to be that...

    I strongly second that, start looking for a job as soon as possible, especially if you already have the EAD card. It took me nearly 6 months to find one and I had a graduate degree in a field that is in high demand. Now there are even fewer companies that sponsor H1B visas. As far as the...

    Thanks. No, they both say alien number, the '1' one on all the documents I have had so far, including the AOS application I sent them and the other one, the '2' is just on the 797 they sent back yesterday but they are both definitely 9 digit alien numbers.

    Two separate alien numbers Hey all, I received my notification (797) that they got the AOS package and it came with a 9 digit A number that starts with a '2'. When I got my OPT at the end of my F1 I got an A number that is 9 digits but starts with a '1'. This number was also on my 797...

    Me? Yes. I have a list of about 40 items in the application, hopefully it's good enough. Going out tomorrow, fingers crossed.
