DV 2010 AOS Only

Lome4ever said:
Hey guys. I've just found out about this website and I find the forum great, as it helps us help one another. I have a quick question. My case will be current in November, and I was wondering what could happen if I send my application earlier (say mid-October)? I know I could wait, but you know how it is..just being impatient...Thanks

Lome4ever,

I would not take the risk of being rejected. It's better to wait and send everything at the very end of the month. Good luck!

Hi Fitness901,

I live in Florida. We are planning to send our package on Nov 1st. Can you please add a signature with a time line of your/your sister's progress. That'll be easier to follow.

Thanks and all the best to your sister.

Hi All,

Good luck for everybody in the process of AOS.
Today, I have some questions :
- on the form G-325A: in part "Applicant's employment last five year" : I am on F1 visa and had an internship for about 4 months, do i have to put the company where I did the internship ?

-on the form I-485 : in part "have you ever before applied for permanent resident status in the U.S ?" , my mother did apply 1 year ago the petition I-130 (Petition for alien relative) for me and it is approved.But to get the green card, it needs to have a visa number. So my question is in this case : do I put "yes" ? or do I put "no"

Thanks for your answer !!

Hello happy2010,

Regarding the Form I-485 and the question "have you ever before applied for permanent resident status in the U.S ?": I understand that you did NOT apply for a permanent resident status as you haven't had the opportunity to do the Consular Processing nor the Adjustment of Status.

Anyone knows the correct answer to this question???
 
A couple of questions...

Buena suerte chamo..!!!!

Gracias Yaku y buena suerte para ti tambien hermano!! Keep us informed. BTW, since you already sent the Package. What address did u used to send it? Did u use USPS? What about translations. Did u do your own translations and had them signed by somebody? or you hired some legal translators to do so?

cm1979,

I had to call the International students office to get the answer to the same question. I was told that my OPT was issued by Texas center. I went to U of florida, I guess it depends on the location of your school. I was also told to put the starting date of my OPT (mine expired years ago). Good luck!

Thanks Gatorchess, i called them and the answer was Lincoln, Nebraska. Also fyi, there is a second number on your EAD card (the one below alien number) and the first three letters on that number indicate the USCIS office. Mine was LIN + some numbers. LIN stood for Lincoln, didnt know that!

I applied for I-140 thru employer and got approved. I havent applied for AOS yet as my employer base visa number is not available. But i was still planning to put yes to that question with a note that says "have an approved I-140".
 
the same problem

romeot said:
Just a quick query:
Do they put some sort of a stamp on the form you send to the DOS saying "PAID" when they send it back as the receipt? I just got the form back from the DOS today without any confirmation as to that the fee was paid. However, there is a hand written number on the top right hand corner of the form which I sent. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I sent it express via USPS to the courier address, not to the P.O.BOX. Translations always with a certified person. Some of them @ Vzla (used for the H1B) and the last documents here. I can pm you the info of the lady who did my translations. Let me know.

Hello cm1979,

I too have an I-140 approved and I applied for AOS during the July/2007 fiasco. The I-485 form was filled out by my immigration attorney and they answered no to that question even though I did have my I-140 approved.

Again, I am not sure about how to answer this question. In my case I am answering YES as I applied for an Employment-based AOS.
 
two last names

Hi everyone,

I've been in the US for 5 years with a F-1 visa. My passport and other documents from country of origin show my two last names. However, my state driver's license and SSC show only my first last name. Do you guys know if I should include my two last names in the forms for AOS?

Thanks in advance! Good luck with your AOS!

cm1979,

Thanks for a new piece of information! Mine is SRC (Texas center).
 
Thanks Gatorchess for the advice. I think I will wait and send the application in November (I've been waiting all these years..a few more weeks couldnt hurt much at this point). Quick question though: my birth certificate is in French; does that need to be translated too? I have all the other docs in English (my college degrees, employment letters etc.) Thanks for any info.

Hello Lome4ever,

All documents need to be translated to English!
 
Hi

My husband is a winner of 2010DV lottery and we are hoping to send the forms to KCC soon. I have read in this forum, that winners who intend to do AOS need to send only the DSP-122 and barcode to the KCC. (and there is no need to send DS-230). But in DSP-122, there is no place to include any details about dependents, but only the details of the winner.
When there are dependents, would there be any problem if we send only DSP-122 and barcode to KCC? (Dependents were already listed on the DV lottery application form)
 
Hello Everyone!

I have a question... as you can see in my signature, I received the letter receipt from DOS regarding the payment, but I haven't received anything back from KCC yet, regarding my AOS. Are we supposed to received something back from KCC? (apparently, yes) Should I be worried, or it usually takes 1+ months after sending the DS-122 to KCC with the Barcode to receive another letter from them?

Thank you for you help. I'm just starting the process but so far this forum has been extremely helpful!

Thanks Yaku for the info. I was not sure what address to use, but I guess I'll use the same you used. You know, at the beginning I didn't know what to do with the translations, whether to hire somebody or not. That's why I asked you, to see what you had done. Because I read in other threads and in the Book called "U.S Immigration made easy" that there is no harm in doing your own translation (I hope so) as long as it has a signed "translation certification" attached to it. So that is exactly what I did. I translated all my documents. Now, I'm gonna take them to a friend who knows both languages to get them signed and save some bucks....Thank you anyway... I'll let you know if they go through
I'm in Virginia Beach, Where are you?
