You may want to consider using software that will guide you through the process. Google file taxes online or something along these lines. Also I believe you need to file for an extension in order to get one but I might be wrong as I have never needed it. The federal form is probably 1040ez and...

I got what you were saying. The discussion stemmed from curiousity rather than opposition. Thanks for going so in depth about your logic.

Sure. But it is still work that the embassy does for you when they can have you bring translations. And also sure there are a bunch of people who speak my language here but it was a strech assuming some of them work for uscis. It seemed inefficient. From my perspective they saved me work from...

That is exactly the point. When you do CP you simply give copies of the docs so long they are in the official language of the country. Then SusieQQQ suggested they go into your file and I was surprised as I did not see how they are of any use. I gather you disagree with both?

It is not a surprise when it comes to popular languages like German, Spanish or French but there are many that are not. They can't possibly have a representative of each language. I come from a small country with a rare language which prompted me to wonder in a first place. It is just a nice...

SusieQQQ I always wondered if the copies end up in the brown bag. How are they useful to uscis since they are in the original language spoken in the applicant's country of origin. How do they read them? :D Any speculations?

Will do! Thanks a lot. I have been in the US for 6 years now first as a student then on na h1b and for people in that situation winning the lottary is a different kind of a miracle. I cannot explain the feeling when you are told at the embassy that your h1b is now canceled. I hope you get yours...

Very happy to report that just got my green card delivered. Long journey and grateful I got to share it with you guys. Good luck to everyone still waiting! I never got the lockbox "welcome notice" mentioned when status moves to optimized but in the green card packet there is a little pamphlet...

It is about a week, then it changes to card production and another 3-5 days later it is mailed. It could be faster. Did it say they mailed you a notice when you try to track it? Once you move to optimized you should be able to enter your number in the case tracker.

Got a notice today that the card was mailed to me. Very much looking forward to finally having it in hand. I still have not received the welcome notice though which they mailed on Feb 26th about 2 weeks ago. Did you guys get yours?

Sunshine, Congrats! And my new hobby would be stalking your forum updates since I entered 2 days before you :D I am still on Accepted as well. Keep us posted when you move to optimized!

Hi Franko or anyone :) What number did you use to check on this website: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do When I check with the receipt number from the immigration fee payment it says that such case does not exist. When I check Uscis Elis it says "Accepted" and the case submitted...

Hi guys, Quick update and a question. I entered USA yesterday. At the POE it was very quick - I was escorted to a room where an officer took my fingerprints and signiture and that was it. No questions so I was practically done in 10 minutes. I somehow thought it would take longer so I asked...

Hi guys, I just got my visa! Everything went as expected. Good luck everyone still waiting to get current or get a 2NL.

Hi guys, I just came back from the Embassy and wanted to report back. I am green!!! Just waiting for my passport now and flying to the States next week. Good luck to everyone still waiting. Stay sane and you will pass it before you know it! Thank you for all your help. This is the...

Hi guys, Quick question. Does the point of entry make any difference in terms of when the green card would be received or how fast cases are proccessed? For instance does it matter whether you enter in Kansas vs NYC, one dealing with immigration much more than the other?

Hi Greenusa, I was current in October. Submitted my forms on June, 16th.
