Hi everyone, I thought I wouldn't ask any more questions, but weird things keep on happening to me, so I had to! Anyway, I'm DV 2005 winner. I got approved on Sept. 29 and just a couple of days later my green card was mailed to me. However, a month later, another one arrived!!! The A# is the...

Thank tou dv05. I'm going to Baltimore CIS on Friday to get my passport stamped. At that point I'll definitely calm down.

Dear Nora, you are perfectlu right. I think that the FBI name check was just a good excuse for the delay in all our cases. I'm going to the local CIS on Oct 14 to get my passport stamped and I hope that at that point I'll be perfectly calm. Of course, I ll be even better once I get my grren...

Dear all, as Margarina has already mentioned I finally got approved!!! Believe it or not! On Sept. 29th I got the letter in which they are telling me that I did become a "lawful permanent resident". It will take between 9 and 12 monthes for me to get the green card (did anyone get such a long...

It's Sept. 29 and there is just one more day left before the deadline expires for DV 2005 cases. I finally got interviewed on Tuesday (Sept. 27), everything was OK, the officer told me that I can consider my case approved, she requested the visa number for me, but she said that my background...

Hey guys, I finally got interviewed on Tuesday. Everything went smoothly, she said she was going to request a visa number for me BUT my background check is still pending. Tomorrow is the last day. I called today the Baltimore office and they told me that if I was told that everything was fine...

i don't think you can ever find out anything about the lenght of the process. there are just no rules. don't be too scared by our stories. there are people whose cases went smoothly. try to be optimistic. as far as opt is concerned, i don't think it has to do anything with your dv process...

Dear all, your care is really touching! Thank you so much! I'd just like to share with you that Margarina sent me an e-mail a couple of weeks ago. It turned out that we are not only from the same country, but also from the same city. Since then we are constantly in touch, Margarina called me at...

Hi Margarina, I'm in New Orleans. Actually, I'm not anymore. We had to evacuate, so I'm in Memphis now and I have no idea where I'm going to be in couple of days. Many parts of New Orleans are flooded, there is no electricity.... With all that and everything that I alreday went through with...

Thank you Margarina for all your support! It's helpful and touching! :)

Guys, I've tried everything to get my interview date: went twice to the local CIS for an infopass appointment, hired a lawyer, contacted congressman, contacted senator.... Everybody says the same (except for the senator who hasn't responded yet): my FBI name check is still pending. I just can't...

Hey Marianna, I got it! Thank you so much for sending it!

Of course I am! I would really appreciate it since I'm sitting here thinking what should it look like. Thank you so much. I'm in Louisiana. My e-mail is majanikol@yahoo.com if you want you can send it there. Thanks again!!!

Hey guys, I've just heard from my lawyer and I'm more and more convinced that he can't do anything. He keeps on going to the INS and they keep on telling him that my name check is still pending and that is up to the FBI. Basically, he gives me the information that I can easyly get with the...

Congratulations Margarina!!! Your case is giving us some hope!!! :)
