hi all, i need immediate help on my AOS application.
i'm a DV-2007 lottery winner. my case number is 2007EU****900*.
we've applied on Jan 10th 2007. since then we've completed everything, fingerprints, name checks, interview, etc. everything was fine till we've received a notice of intent to deny AOS letter from USCIS this saturday. they say, because my husband didn't work during his OPT, he became unlawful, so they can't adjust our status. they ask any opposing documents. if our opposing won't accepted they will deny our AOS. they say, if it's denied, we may go with CP.
now here's the statistics. my husband finished his master's degree, then started OPT on february 1st,2006. he tried to find a job, but couldn't find one. we have nearly 200 email documents regarding his job search. we have job website's account informations, like monster, careerbuilder, we have resumes, cover letters, etc. these alone prove that he has been seeking jobs. according to our immigration student officer, he wouldn't be illegal if he couldn't find a job, but he need to seek a job. i've searched the internet and all school web sites are saying the same thing. while on OPT you're legal and lawful.
the OPT ended on January 31st 2007 and after that you have 60 days grace period. we've applied for AOS on January 10th 2007, so that's before OPT expiration. according to our search, we never became illegal.
NOW,
1. do you think we can prove our case to uscis
2. if we get denied despite this, can we go through CP, and get the green card in our country?
3. if we go through CP, do you think they will deny it too because of our AOS case?
4. do you think it's too too late for doing CP. we have about 3.5 months.
thanks so much. i'll be waiting for your responses.
he said he trust them and the one near USCIS knows these issues very well. he just emailed me and told me that he can work with them as co-counsel, so that we can get both of their help on this.
