My permanent resident card got delivered today along with my welcome letter :):). My status did not have the tracking information until today (after it got delivered). Thanks a lot to this forum for all the help!

I have a quick question. I read somewhere that the FO stamps I-551 in the passport after the interview(?) which is a temporary permanent resident status proof or something. Does this happen in all the cases? Because it did not happen in mine.

I am not sure if I understood what you are saying, but I do agree that asking about the KCC file at the end of the interview should be added to interview tips. (again..not sure if it was me who missed it). But I had no idea about asking if they had my KCC file when I went for the interview. Not...

My status changed to "New Card being produced" this afternoon!! Thanks a lot to @Sm1smom , @Britsimon and everyone else for all your help and for putting the google sheet together. I would be lost without it. I was current only in August and all your advices for early processing helped so much.

Hi guys, I just called KCC again to check if my file has been sent to my FO. It was sent on the friday (one week after being requested). Since yesterday was holiday, I guess should be getting my approval notice/ welcome letter sometime this week. Fingers crossed!

Thanks. I read it. But I think now my case is different than this since I don't have a month to wait for KCC to send the file over. I was just wondering if I should do anything else to make it faster. I guess I just need to wait.

I am waiting for KCC to send my file to my FO. Had my interviewed on August 26 and was told I will be recommended for approval. The FO requested file from KCC on 27th. I just scheduled an infopass for Sept. 16. This was the earliest I could get. Is there anything else I could do other than...

How long did it take for yours? Do you have your GC already?

Thanks for your reply. I told her that I am concerned about the time as september 30 is approaching. She told me that all the cases just have to be approved by september 30, I don't neccessarily have to get GC by then. Then she said that GC takes upto 6 months to be sent. I am not sure how much...

So I called the KCC today and they said my FO has requested my file yesterday. She said that it takes about 3 weeks to send it over. She also was confused how I already got interviewed without them having my file from KCC. I tried to explain to her that this is AOS case, so it might work...

No I didn't. Should I call KCC to ask if they have sent my file?

Hi all, I had my interview this morning. It went pretty smoothly. The officer just asked few questions about my name, address, job, etc. Didn't even look at the original documents that I had taken with me. She had my file in her hands and was marking my forms (that I sent in AOS package) as I...

Thanks @Sm1smom

Hi everyone. I am in the process of filling out my form i-485 now. Which option do I check for the part 2? I am applying for an adjustment of status to permanent resident status because....? Do I select the "other basis of eligibility and write DV selectee in the blank space?

Thanks for your opinion! I will wait till next month. Will probably do it beginning of April.

Hmm...I understand. I might wait till next month. Do you think it should move faster now? I mean I know no one can know for sure..but just based on your experience. @Britsimon any thoughts? I am just looking for some opinions.

Cut off for May for Asia is only 5275...my case number is AS000067**...I was thinking of doing my medical soon. Anyone has any suggestion if I should wait or go for it? I am starting to get worried since Asia numbers are moving so slow. Any guesses on if it will start moving faster?

Hi, I am 2015 DV selectee and doing AOS. I have a question about the financial documents. I am a graduate student pursuing a PhD degree. So I have full scholarship plus stipend ($26000/year). I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on the bank balance I would need to show in addition to my pay...

Thanks Britsimon. I have read the spreadsheet and it was really helpful! Just to make myself clear, can I start preparing my medical report now? Also when is teh earliest I can send the dv fee?

Hi everyone..My case number is 2015 ASXXX67XX. I completed the DS-260 on May 19 and opted for AOS and received an email from KCC on July 1 which says.... "Thank you for informing us of your intention to apply for adjustment of status with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and...
