Thanks new one. I am going through this forum to get answers to some of my questions. The first thing I will need to do is send my wife's high school diploma (Secondary Education Attestate) from her Russian school to the credential evaluation company. She completed a 10-year school there but it should be equivalent to a 12-grade school in the US, plus she studied 2 years at the university, which I am not sure whether I need to evaluate or not.
Kind of silly question, but do I also need to fill out a separate Form DS 230 as her spouse, or only the primary applicant needs to fill out this form?
Thanks.

Little more patience. What happened to "relaxing and waiting"?
Soooooo nervous. If they really don't want that we become a public charge, why take them sooooo long to send EAD ..........grrrrrrrrrrrr
Hi LuciDreamer,
You have plenty of time read this forum thoroughly and take notes.
You'll find answers to most of the questions you might have. If you have a
specific question don't hesitate to ask...

It is better to get it evaluated to be on the safer side.
You will have to make 2 DV packages one for you
the other one for your wife. The payments etc.
should be made separate. When you send in the
DV package you'll separate 2 files with a band etc.

Thanks capeolive.
I spent all evening tonight and just finished off scanning and translating her high school diploma+supplement and mailed everything for evaluation. It may take a week or more to get the results back from Degree People. A couple of years ago I did my own evaluation with them for MD diploma. The only thing I do not get is why they now ask people send documentation in PDF or TIFF file formats only??? Not everyone has a full version of Adobe Acrobat, and TIFF format is big...weird...
Mailing 2 DV packages - it means one DSP-122 for her and two DS-230 for each of us, correct?

Hi newone,
I can feel your pain. Hang on there its almost the end just a few more days of waiting then you have your FREEDOM. Knowing I am almost there has lifted such a load off my shoulders and trust me the feeling is simply great.
Hi LuciDreamer,
You got plenty of time for the diploma.
You'll need it when you send in your DV package.
What you should do now is:
1. Send form DSP-122 (If you are doing AOS mark "BCIS" on 4.
2. Send form DS-230 Part I and II for both of you.
3. Pay AOS fee of $375 X 2 to Department of State
Later they are going to send you 2NL which acknowledges that
you are doing AOS in US.
Please from top of the page settings add your signature
your case number location etc so that we know where you are at.
Your case number is very important it dictates when you are going to
be current, sometime between October and September of next year...

Hello new one,
For some reason the EAD can take 3+ months, some people get it a few days before they get the GC. Hang in there!
Good luck!
Congratulations 2010FORME, you are close to the green!!!!! Thanks for your prayers and thoughts, I appreciate it.

Quick question... I have been reading the posts from beginning and everyone says they received the first NL with all the forms included in the package to be completed and mailed back. However, my wife only got the letter and a barcode page without any forms. What do we need to do, since we are both legal in the US? I plan to call KCC or stop by a local USCIS office to get the forms maybe, any recommendations? Thank you.
I will later update my signature with the status, just cannot do it now, typing from my Droid while at the meeting...

Hello LuciDreamer,
Congratulations for winning the DV2011. In the first NL they send you one DSP-122 for the winner and one DS-230 for each applicant. Some people say that DS-230 is not needed if you are going to apply for AOS but I sent it anyway to be on the safe side. Did they send you any instructions of what to mail back to KCC?
You can download these forms here:
http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/80148.pdf
http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/81807.pdf
The forms for the AOS package can be downloaded at the USCIS website (www.uscis.gov).
Good luck!

Hi i2009,
Thanks for your reply and my sincere congrats to other winners!!!
No, the forms were not included with NL1, only the winning letter and the barcode page referencing the two forms and the website link for further steps.
I just called the KCC and the Customer Service person explained that I only need to send Form DSP-122 form to KCC along with the payment of $750 to DOS (for both of us). They only accept cashier's checks or money orders. No Form DS 230 is required for AOS within the US, I asked him like several times to make sure that was correct.

Hi again,
Does anyone know if there is a form to accompany the 2 x $375 fee payment and where to get it online? Thanks.
I think I just found it myself: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/visa_4763.html
