Congrats to all those who've had sucessful interviews and have received or are currently waiting on their greencards!!!

Our local office is NY and from previous posters I'm guessing our interview will be mid to late June (all going well) but I would like to travel home for a family event the first wk of June!!

I was just wondering for those who applied for advanced parole how long did it take to come through?


Thanks

HI Kakaco,
DId you contact your local congress man via mail or you called his office?

HI Kakaco,
DId you contact your local congress man via mail or you called his office?

I called his office and his secretary told me to send a fax msj to him and include all the documents releated with the case which i did right away but i was not satisfied with that, so i mailed the letter including my receipt number and all the necessary documents about my case on the same day in case if smth happens with the fax or if they do not receive all the documents. I dont know i am a little bit paranoid with these kind of stuff so usually his/her secretary listens to ur complain and will tell u what to do...Good luck!!! mine was pretty good he mailed a letter 2 days after i contacted with his office saying that he called the local office about my complain so hopefully urs will be the same way...

Hello guys,

Looks like the AOS cheques get cashed in 10 days..It has been 15 days since I sent the package...Is there anyway I could find out what's going on?

 

[mrNepalDV2009]

Quick Update,

My bank account showed only one cheque cashed today. Looks like satay had this same issue. Does that mean I need to resend my wife's package again?

If you've read our experience you'll find out that we did not include NL and a copy of our marriage certificate into my husband's package.That was the reason his check wasn't cashed and they returned his package.

If you did include the NL and other initial evidence into your wifes application,you should wait a little because I read previous experiences,some people had few days between them before their spouses checks were cashed.

Hi Kakaco,

Thanks.

Hello everyone -
I've been reading this thread but this is the first time writing.

I've been living in the US for 10 years now as F-1 then H-1 then H-4 then as a dependent for AOS throught my wife's work.
I thought I will not use the DV hoping USCIS will process our EB case but it's seems that it'll take another 2 years or so.
So I'm going to take a chance with the DV.

First of all, is anyone in this forum in the same situation (or has been) where you already have an I-485 pending through some other process and want to file another one through DV?

I did call USCIS more than one time to inquire about this and they said that it's fine. Actually the CSR said that if you get your green carg trough DV, just call us and will cancel the I-485 related to EB.

I am filing this myself so I got a couple of questions:
1- In Part 2 (Application Type in I-485) , should I select 'Other' and explain that it's through DV?
2- Part 3, Last question: Have you ever before applied for permanent resident status in US? I have to say yes but the case is still pending?

Thanks!

Hello Imados,

If I remember it correctly, last year JAZB and tp2007 were in a similar situation than yours and they got their GC through the DV program. You can find out more about their cases by checking the DV2008 AOS thread (http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?p=1963765#post1963765)

About your questions:

(1) Yes: 'Other' (h.) for the primary applicant and (b.) for the dependent applicant;
(2) I would check 'Yes' and provide the information requested.

We had our interview on Wednesday Apr 8th,and the guy didn't approve us right away and he didn't take our I-94's or EAD's and gave us a piece of paper to contact them in 60 days.

Today we got the email that card production ordered, and also we have received our welcome letters!!

Thanks everyone...especially Johnkent,Dematra,Matutelandia,kakaco and everyone else...I can't thank you guys enough.

Goodluck to everyone who is still in the process.

Thanks satay,
I am sure I sent the NL and marriage certificate with the package. I will wait a couple of days.

I made a few threads sticky on this forum today. If you guys see/think something important or worthy enough to be sticky or to be merged with sticky threads, let me know thru private messaging. I'll remain active on this forum for a few days.

G 325A expires 5/31/09

I am supposed to file from June first. Would using an expired G 325A form be a problem? That's the latest one they have in the web site so far...

What if by June they don't post a new one?

Thanks.

 

[kakaco]

Hi Kakaco,
Do you mind giving me the list of documents that you included in the mail?

Hello Lure 27!!!
I wrote a letter explaining my situation and wrote the receipt number as a ref. I also attached the NL letters the one that i received from kentucky stating that i am one of the selected ones, also the NOA letter for the acceptance of 485, I also received a letter from Kentucky about accepting my AOS application.Payments receipts from MO.
I guess that was it... I hope it helps. In your letter you have to write your mailing address,contact number or fax number.
good luck!!!

Does one not have to schedule an infopass to get an application package? I say this because when I scheduled an infopass earlier this year they told me to schedule another one when the visa bulletin showed my number as being current within 2 months. They said they'd give me an application packet then.
Also why are you waiting until June to file? My number is probably coming up in July and am getting ready to file in May when the visa bulletin should hopefully show my number as coming up. Anyway, if you're being careful that's ok.

My understanding is that you can only file the date your number is current. There were arguments about whether the USCIS rejects early filings, I am just not sure about this - So yes, I'm being careful!
As far as the packet, I believe I know what forms to file from people's experiences reflected in this and other threads. Let me know when you got your packet and see what may be different.
I also have another question. I sent the fee to DS via bank money order and I just realized that the letter said US postal mony order. Is this a problem? I wouldn't think so, a money order is a money order as far as I know!!!

Thanks!

Money order is money order. It just has to be issued by a US institution and if u did purchase it here in the states, then u should be fine
