DV 2010 AOS Only
- Thread starter BlueT41
- Start date
yeah, man.. I send her an email showing the interest to apply early and I will go meet her this friday and take all the responsibility that it was me who told her to apply early even before the visa bulletin for AUgust got published. and if still she dont want to do it then i will rather tell he to back from my case and get all he documents and will send the documents my self..
i went through the signature of most of the members who got their GC or got the letter of interview they all applied after they saw the advance notification and still they didn't get the interview on the month they were currrent for but the next month..so in my case if i apply now i will be getting my interview on September( fingers crossed)

Hey zuno, I personally put "a" on I485, but the majority of people put "h" and then they wrote "DV lottery". It's acceptable both ways. As far as the g325, the old form used to have 4 copies, the new one only has one (check the date of the form). It's the same form, but one comes with 4 copies one with one. I sent one.
Good luck.
Hi zuno,
You should download instructions for I-485.
Mark h and write:
"Diversity Visa Lottery Winner. Copy of lottery letter attached".
I sent 4 copies. But some people sent only one and they were fine.
However you do you should be fine.
Hello khayat,
Congratulations on winning the DV lottery. Calling or taking an InfoPass at this time is useless. I would suggest that you read this thread from page 1 and then you will get a good idea of the AOS process. You will need to prepare some forms that you can download from the USCIS website in order to file your AOS petition. You don't need to take an InfoPass to get copies of those forms.
Good luck!
Hello capeolive,
Well, you'll know pretty soon how it feels! Actually, you will get two great moments in this journey (getting your GC and then your family's).
All the best for you!
Hello nepal2010,
The same happened to me, don't worry, your card is being printed and you'll get it soon. Now wait for another status change to "Post Decision Activity". That's when your card is mailed.
Good luck!
Hello zuno,
The new instructions for the I-485 states that you need to enter "H" in the box and then write "Diversity Visa Lottery Winner. Copy of lottery letter attached" on the line below the box.
See http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485instr.pdf on page 5.
Good luck!
Hello new one,
Your day is approaching. Try to relax, you did your part and everything is ready. You'll be alright trust in all the work you've done.
Best of luck!
Agree with i2009, the I-485 instructions (page 5, no. H) specifically asks DV Lottery winners to check box "h" and to write "Diversity Visa Lottery Winner. Copy of lottery letter attached" on the form.

Thank you capeolive
I've tried contacting KCC via email for an update but they say that they are not authorized to give out this information. Probably I'll try to call. Am I still within standards from the posts you have seen? I know there's still some months to go and processing times at the field offices now show 6 months for I485 apps in general.
Hi schneidi68,
You should call KCC and find out if
your DV case file has been requested
by your local USCIS field office and
if they have done the transfer yet...
This process is done before your local
office schedules the interview.
After learning the outcome you can go to
your USCIS field office if you decide it is
necessary...

I've scheduled an Infopass appointment for this Friday 6/18/10 to see if an IO can help me out and also to check on what kind of schedule the San Diego field office operates. My I485 has not gotten any LUD's since 3/31/10 when the FP got done.
Are there any suggestions you can give me on what to ask exactly? I was planning to ask about the FP results, the appointment procedure/calendar at the field office and eventually if they could check with the National Benefits Center on status (as we can't and calling the 800 number seems to be useless...).
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I know that the process can take from 2 - 5 month....
Thank you in advance!

Hi Zuno,
* You should mark h and write Diversity Visa Lottery Winner
* Just one copy of G-325A is enough.
You should get the latest versions of the forms and read the instructions
for yourself before doing anything...

Good to have you around...

Do you think it makes a difference of having the check mark on the 485 in the a instead of h. I've sent as well a cover letter when I filed indicating that it is a DV based application...?
Hi i2009,
thank you!
I try to not think about interview.
And I make my self busy.
I know everything will be fine.
But still little bit scared, what is normal
It may. But in the past they accepted the applications with a checked
instead of h. You, should call KCC about the file transfer, first.
Regarding Diversity Visa the applicants got:
1. A DV Case file at KCC (electronic and hard copy)
2. A DV AOS file at NBC (this is the one sent to Chicago)
