    DV 2014 AOS Only - New Thread

    Thank you kindly for the clarification - it is a relief!!! I think the result will 'sink in' when I finally see the card. I've been residing in the USA for a number of years (H1B) so it will be a huge feeling of liberty to no longer be locked into a particular job/city. And this forum...

    I had my interview today. It was very straightforward and only took about 10 minutes. After doing the oath part the interviewing officer asked to see my birth certificate, high school certificate and passport. He asked me some basic questions about address and current employment and then the...

    DV 2014 AOS Only - New Thread

    The good news is that today I received the letter for my interview! It will be in mid July. I don't know if the fact I contacted the senator's office late last week had anything to do with or it's purely co-incidental. Either way I am relieved to finally have an interview date!

    DV 2014 AOS Only - New Thread

    Thanks for the guidance! Should I contact the 1-800 number (sorry, which number?) first or should I do infopass first or just do both simultaneously? Late last week I submitted a request to Senator Kirsten Gillilbrand (NY federal senator) for assistance.

    It seems the NY office is a major problem. I have encountered the same issue. Any updates for you? I think it's time we contacted the office of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Maybe if more than one of us does that it will help. She has a specific link on her webiste for people seeking help with...

    Indeed. I am annoyed with myself that I allowed her to waste this amount of time before I finally realized she had no idea what she was doing. It's trully atrocious that a 'professional lawyer' in the city of New York could be allowed to get away with some incompetence. I will be taking control...

    Disastrous Diversity Lottery Visa Thus Far - 2 rejections

    After reading the google doc instructions, I am pretty sure the attorney sent my DSP-122 along with the AOS application to Chicago. So that's an error right because the DSP-122 should have gone to KCC? What a mess. I called USCIS and a recorded message said that my application "had not...

    Disastrous Diversity Lottery Visa Thus Far - 2 rejections

    After reading these instructions, my suspicions are correct. I had thought that by the time my number becamse current (December 1st), the lawyer should have had everything ready to submit! She only started AFTER my number became current. Then it took 2 months - yes 2 months - for her to organize...

    Disastrous Diversity Lottery Visa Thus Far - 2 rejections

    I had my suspicions very early on that she wasn't sure what she was doing. But as she was recommended by my employer I thought that may be I was just being over-anxious. But it has been one disaster after the next. The second one was sent to Chicago. What is form M-180? Will I receive that? I...
