All dv winners with EU CN 3x,xxx to 39,999 it's our time will we make it?

Phew! Finally managed to receive passports & USCIS envelopes back today, just in time for our booked US return flights tomorrow morning - too close for comfort. POE Philadelphia 08/12. Will make sure to post experience on this thread. Best.


Wow - that was cutting it fine - glad it worked out for you!

Have a cheesesteak for me!

Will do, they have a nice cheesesteak place right at the airport.
Yes, very, very close - we actually ended up driving to the consulate to pick up our passports this afternoon, in order to make it work. Anyways...
 
Well EU maintained the same cut off for sep. Since it did not go unavailable there may be hope for us high 30ies that the last visas will be released now? So hopefully the demand for my visa was received by August 12???????

"This bulletin summarizes the availability of immigrant numbers during September. Consular officers are required to report to the Department of State documentarily qualified applicants for numerically limited visas; U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security reports applicants for adjustment of status. Allocations were made, to the extent possible, in chronological order of reported priority dates, for demand received by August 12th."
 
Hmm on ceac my status was just updated before the new VB. But still AP, could this be the CP reporting my demand or something?
 
The briefest of updates to those in our cohort who have this step still in front of them: today's LPR registration and DV validation at POE Philadelphia turned out to be a straightforward two step affair which took approx. 45 min. to complete for our family. Both immigration officers were professional and very friendly, congratulating us to our new immigration status. Now on to Chicago, despite the flight delay due to inclement weather...

Well I am sure you are used to the inclement weather. Give me a call if you want to bale out to sunny California!

So, do things look different as an LPR????
 
:) Actually, Chicago weather is a lot nicer today than Philly....
Yeah, after several years on various non-immigrant J, L & H1B visa the IV step certainly feels great, no doubt.
Greetings to California, Britsimon!
