By the way question, maybe for others confused too.
What does all current mean? For example if a region becomes all current in say August. Does this mean anybody with any case number for a region that becomes all current can apply?
yes

I have a high case number, 2011AS00033xxx, and I am trying to decide whether to go with AOS or CP or just not proceed with the application. I currently have an F1 visa and from what I understand from reading through multiple discussion threads, in case I get rejected or they run out of visas before I can get interviewed, I won't be able to (or have minimal chance) to renew my F1 visa. If this happens through consular processing, I guess that means I am stuck in my home country. But what would happen if I chose to do AOS and somehow I got denied or they run out visas before my interview? Would I have to leave the US? Or would I be able to continue studying but unable to re-enter if I leave the US? I have a clean record so I don't expect any problems but the combination of my case number being too high and this issue of F1 renewal has been bugging me. I have about 2 yrs left in my PhD and it would be a shame to lose my F1 status at this point. Considering many of my friends with PhD degrees have gone on to get a greencard quite easily through their employers, I am trying to decide if this whole thing is worth the risk. If I had a low case number, I would have been less worried about these things, but alas, 33xxx for Asia seems quite high.
Hi leongsce, and to all
I'm an international student, and plan to graduate in Sept.-Nov., 2011.
I belong to a super high case number in DV 2011 among ASIA 4XXXX.
Regarding of your idea, I'm about to bear in mind that my chance is going to be zero definitely.
Even I intent BCIS, I'm still not sure my case will be through in the manner of time (either DV deadline or out of I-20 status).
Some said I can file my case since July 2011 (90 days before 30 Sept.), others said USCIS might discard it (that means foul) since visa bulletin never become current yet.
Or even visa become current on Sept. 2011, my case eventually might be out of time frame of processing the case though.
Please suggest me.
Thank you so much.

Thank you sooo much for your suggestion, Stingmusic. That was exactly the question i was just about to ask !!!! ^_^.. I would do so and keep posting my progression online. One more question to ask, Do i really need the bring the graduation certification of elementary school and junior high school during interview or show them to USCIS?
To LoveAmerica and Stingmusic,
Thank you soo much for all your suggestion, but the thing is I didn't go to the Senior high school ( 10th ~ 12th grade) after Junior High school, Instead i went to Junior College of business, which was a five-yr program. After that, I went to University and Medical school. Completed my medical school few yrs ago and passed the 3 steps of medical board exam last yr. But I don't know if my Junior College degree would be equal to the senior high school degree though..so which certification should i bring during interview?
One more question, Should i file for I-485 before I go to interview? and if i don't have a job by then ( well..hopefully i do, im waiting for my H1B to start my medical residency ), do i need to file for any other documents? Sorry i got sooo many question, this is the first time i handle this all just by myself .....
and to Stingmusic, I am from Taiwan. ^__^
Thank you guys...^__^
