Hi Summet,
sorry to hear your experience. Good luck, I hope everything will be ok on the end.
I received two weeks ago the NL for the 2011 DV from the KCC . I am currently in the US and I will be using the AOS route. What are the next steps? I see from previous forum that I need to send only the bar code and the DSP-122 forms with photographs. How about my wife? Do I need to fill a separate DSP-122 form for her too? Can someone please advice?
Wooow amazing capeolive. Congratulations!!!!!!
Sooooooo happy for you. That was really fast.
Obviously there are some good people that work very hard do have it done as soon as it possible.
Good luck with your family, I hope they'll have interview soon and finally you'll be together.

Hi new one,
I hope you come across some good people at your interview as well.
Thank you for your good wishes. Before your interview don't take any
breaks, work hard. After your interview you can take the break until
you get your card. Then freedom, sweet freedom...

You do it only for the principal applicant, call KCC and just make sure that your wife is there in your case file as a derivative applicant.
AoS 2011 thread will be helpful to you. Read some more of past posts, you'll know what to do.
Hi R2010,
Welcome to the forum.
You should just follow the instructions on how to proceed.
Unfortunately some people were claiming of not receiving
the instructions. If you don't have any of the forms you can
download them from the USCIS site. You have plenty of time
you should study this forum and try to understand the process
for yourself. I gotta wrap it up for the night. In case you have not
received the instructions I am posting last years instructions for you...

"Attachment 2 - Adjusting Status in the U.S.
If you are in the United States, you may be eligible to apply to the U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for adjustment of status. The option to
adjust status may not be available to all applicants. To determine whether or not you may
adjuststatusyoumustcontactUSCIS'IfUSCISconfirms
ents to your local USCIS office. USCIS will
provide instructions on how to proceed. It will not be necessary for you to contact KCC
for any further information or instructions if you apply to adjust status in the U.S.
If your spouse and/or children live outside the United States, they may be eligible
to apply for immigrant visas under the Diversity Visa program at a U.S. Embassy or
Consulate General. However, the Embassy/Consulate cannot process your family
members' applications until notification is received from USCIS advising that you have
adjusted status. USCIS will not automatically notify the embassy or consulate that you
have adjusted status and that your family members will apply abroad for their visas to
join you. You must request USC6 to notify the embassy or consulate where your family
intends to apply. The embassy or consulate must also be notified of the address where
your family members can be contacted to schedule an interview.
Please remember that your spouse and/or children must apply for and be issued
immigrant visas before the Diversity Visa program ends on September 30, 2010. Ensure
that the embassy or consulate receives notification from USCIS in time to process the
visas before the end of DV-2010. They will not be eligible to apply for or be issued visas
under this program after the closing date. For additional information on adjusting your
status in the United States, please refer to www.uscis.qov.
If USCIS determines that you are eligible to adjust status you will be required to
pay a non-refundable diversity visa fee directly to the Department of State. This fee is
assessed to cover the cost incurred by the Department in running the DV Program and is
separate from any fees you will need to pay USCIS as part of your adjustment
application. You must pay the diversity visa fee for yourself and for each member of
your immediate family who plans to adjust status with you in the United States.
Family members living overseas will pay the diversity visa fee at the
embassy/consulate where they will receive their visa. The fee for these family members
must not be paid in the United States.
Please consult the Fee Schedule at http://travel.state.eovlvisa/vofees.htnrl#perm
for the most current fee information.
You must complete payment of the diversity visa fee before processing of your
case can continue. Follow the instructions on the attached page labeled "Adjustment of
Status Fee Payment." Bring the receipt that is mailed back to you to your interview at
USCIS. Please include your DV case number on your cashier's check or postal money
order. The address on the attached receipt form should be used only for fee payment.

Hi DV-2010,
Hope your GCs are imminent!
I am a DV-2011 winner currently in the US on F1 visa. I was wondering if any of you left the US to his country after filing DS-230/DSP-122 but before filing i485.
Basically my question is:
i. I already submitted DS-230 and DSP-122 to KCC and the payment to DOS
ii. I have not submitted i485 because my number is still not current
ii. I need to go to my country
Will i have problems at the Port of Entry when i come back? Are forms DS-230 and DSP-122 considered as intent of switching to an immigrant status? Will they let me lose my F1 status and thus my ability to return to the US?
Thanks for any help!

Congratulations capeolive! this is great news, I was looking forward to hearing that you got that message. I am very happy for you. I hope you can reunite with your family here in the US pretty soon.
Congratulations one more time!
Hi fitness901, tell your sister to hang in there. It's a good thing they didn't just deny her, at least their working on her case and trying to approve her. Best of luck to her. I'll keep her in my prayers.
Hello lisa6,
I assume that they already applied for your Labor Certificate and they are ready to file your I-140. The Labor Certificate is valid for only 180 days (http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/PermRuleLaborCert052407.pdf) so the I-140 petition needs to be filed in that time frame. Also notice that the Labor Certificate's receipt date will be your "Priority Date" which drives the immigrant visa availability (there is a long wait for EB3) and that you don't want to lose it.
Said that, and considering the "risky" nature of the DV, I would suggest that you go ahead and file the I-140 but DON'T file the I-485 (because having two active pending I-485 could potentially complicate your case). Once you have your I-140 approved you can wait and process your DV AOS, if something goes wrong with your DV petition, then you can have another chance.
Does it make sense?
Best of luck
Can you take an InfoPass and ask them to stamp your passport with the I-551 since your case has been approved? That may give you a couple of extra weeks to start your family's petitions.
Good luck!
So sorry to hear that things did not get resolved yesterday but I am sure that everything will be alright. I think that it is a positive thing that they are asking for more evidence, your sister has passed a few rounds already, I hope that next week is her successful one. Ask your sister to keep fighting and to keep a positive attitude. Her strength will pay off.

Thank you Norkira and i 2009.........i hope it pay off at the end she was just hoping yesterday was day ,snice last month the court were asking for KCC file only..........Thanks
Hi reptile,
Since you have not file I-485 yet it wouldn't
be a problem to re-enter as long as you have
a valid visa. You can call USCIS just to make sure...
