I know our number is below the cut-off number for January, is it enough to know that my number is current?
What happens after its current? Is there a certain deadline/timeframe within which AOS package MUST be sent? I don't have all the documents ready yet.
Hi
Congratulation to every one received his GC
i will send my package to Chicago next week and i would like to know which mailing methods is better
Certified mail or Registered or regular mail
if it possible to track if a cashiers check cashed by DHS or not
Thanks
No there isn't a time line to sent it in...when your ready you can sent it in. Better have everything ready or you could face to have it returned which will delay it longer. You know the DV lottery has a time line as per Sept. 30th, you need to hve to be approved before that date or before the GC run out which didn't happen last year and with more security checks, more and longer background checks could be expected so IMO they won't run out of GC but more likely more people will run out of time if they don't provide the proof that is requested. JMO!
We did certified mail, you can track it online and also ask online for proof of delivery...regarding the chashiers check are only made up to 1000$, you would have to make two checks if you want to do cashier check option (one for I-485 and one for biometrics fee)...however, you can't see when DHS cashes the check as you did with taking a "cash"ier check from your account...the same moment you make the cashier check it appears as checked on your account...best is to send regular checks...they are usually cashed within 7 days and you can see this on your account
I just wanted to share with ya'll that the interview letter arrived today!!! Thanks GOD!! My interview is on Jan. 28 and just asked me to bring my passport and driver license.
Congratulations to all who have received their green cards.
I filed AOS at the beginning of Dec. and have not got the Biometrics notice yet.
Should I be worry?

Hi Everyone
I'm currently on H1-B and also my company applied for green card couple years ago still in process... I was luck enough to win the lottery like all you guys here. My question is do I need to send I-140 form and labor certificates along with my I-485 in AOS package.
thanks in advance
Hello ck1979,
I am in the same situation (H1B with a prior employment-based AOS process). I don't think that you should send your I-140 with your DV AOS package. You do need to provide with your Alien Number (A#) so they will consolidate your employment-based AOS with the new DV application.
The downside is that they could take longer to process your case as they have to wait for your A-file to arrive before they could approve anything.
The A-file is the Alien File. It is the file containing all the data and documentation relating to an alien identified by the A#.
I have read that sometimes it takes a while for the Service Center, processing the current AOS, to send the A-File to the National Benefit Center.
Good luck!
Hello i2009
I really appreciate your reply. I wont send the I-140 to AOS. I've another quick question. How do the USCIS know which local office we would like the interview to take place?
thanks
You're welcome ck1979.
I think that they assign the Field Office based on your residency's zip code. I don't know if it is possible to request having the interview in a different Field Office.
