Wow Congrats! This is almost too good to be true
, Where were you suppose to have your interview and what did you sent in to Chicago that made them give your GC without an interview? You must be something special and deserved it, because I believe in Karma
2010 must be a special year for you!
Thanks bentlebee, middle.com, daima, capeolive, new one, 2010FORME and all the others for the well wishes.
As for what I sent to Chicago to result a green card without an interview, pretty much everything you guys advised and that was on the list they provide at the info pass. However, I DID NOT send any tax return, bank statements, affidavit of support (other then a letter from the employer), or anything that I didn't think was necessary unless they specifically asked for it. In any case, I did have a a good letter from employer saying how valuable I am to the company and asking kindly to assist me in receiving the green card so I can work for them as long as I can, in addition to explaining what I do, how long I worked there and how much I get paid. (FYI, I don't get paid that much, but I made it over the poverty guideline.) I also had really good grades throughout my entire school career, so that could have helped, too. As far as my list of content, I wrote above each copy that I attached my DV number, and at times I clarified things like: old passport with original/first visa, newest/current passport, color copy of my high-school diploma and the certified translation, etc. In any case, I'll copy and paste my list of contents for people who are still in the process and are wondering what to send to Chicago lock-box. Here it is:
