Dear Immigration Officer,
I am sending this letter in addition to my application I-485 for adjustment of status. This is my second time applying for the Adjustment of status in the fiscal year 2010 with the case number 2010AS00025XXX. I applied for Adjustment of status on January 4, 2010. I got my I-765 and
I-131 approved. However, my application I-485 was rejected because of filing more than 90 before becoming current. I have also attached the letter of rejection with this package. The case number till 28700 is current for the month of August for Asia, hereby I am again applying for
I-485 (Adjustment of status).
Please take necessary action on my application at your earliest convenience. Should you have any question please call me at 972-XXX



Sincerely yours'

Biometrics page, picture page, us visas, I-94 etc. Not everything. You should have a valid passport though.

one more question, the instruction in I-485 says relevent pagaes of passport, should I be sending only the passport page and visa page or everything that has stamp on it no matter what..
 
I finally have The Update on my Case!

Hi Friends,

I finally got my Green Card after so many years.
Yes, it is green and yes, it is "green enough" for me.

My struggle has not come to an end yet. I will do
a Following-to-Join Diversity Visa Application for
the family. I hope this summer does not become
a "hot" one for me. I don't know if they are going
to be able to get the visa by the end of the fiscal
year, but I will do my part. I also pray for the best
and I know "the best" is not always to live in U.S.

I can indeed write long but I will try to make it short.

First of all, I thank each and every one of you who has been
supporting me in public and in private.

I thank the host of the forum Mr. Khanna and his staff,
thank you for having such a great service for years.

I thank the seniors of DV 2008 AOS Only and DV 2009 AOS Only
forums, I learned a lot from you guys.

I thank cooldude, Daima, i2009 who have preceded me
and have been helping people, you helped many of us.

I thank NuvF, for the information he provided in the past.

I thank new one, who supported me with the special prayers,
now the special prayers are for you.

I have been posting way too many messages lately.
I am sure I must have broken "somebody's" heart".
If this is the case, I am sorry for my "unintentional"
actions, please forgive me, whoever you are.

I don't have an intention to disappear after today.
I believe it will be "the right thing to do" just to
stick around and to "pay it forward" by helping
the new applicants out. So, my intention is to
stay until the end of this Fiscal Year.

I am multi-lingual and like to pray in
"the original" form but I will complete my
"public thanks" in English as well.

...on this happy day, I should end my words as follows:

Praise be to God who has sent
Moses with Torah,
Jesus with Bible,
Muhammad with Qur'an.
God is the One and Only.
There is no deity except Him...
 
I finally have The Update on my Case!

Yes I knew it! I was waiting for your update. I can't tell you how happy I am. It's great to hear that you will be around, I don't think that you have broken anyone's heart, it's the opposite, you've been helping everyone in a very generous way (for example, repeating over an over again things that are one or two pages back, etc).

You'll succeed with your family's process. Keep the same positive attitude. Best wishes for you!

Now it's time to say to you "Enjoy your new status".

All the best my friend

Hi capolive,

I am sooooo happy for you. Finally!!!
After so long time of waiting,
they should sent you the most greener card
they ever made :D.
My prayers will be still with you.
I hope your family will join you very soon.
And finally you will be together.

I am so glad you will stay with us.
You were helping us all this time.
And we have to give you BIG thank you for that!!!
 
Hi i2009,

Thank you for sharing my happiness.

My friend, I wish you and your family a happy and dignified life.

You have my best as well...

i agree, It was still the same for mine, the purpose was studies so it was duration of studies however I just have to use D/S so it fine with me
 
Hi new one,

Thank you for been here on my happy day.

Actually, I think you prayed so sincerely for me.
Thank you for your "special" prayers. God accepts
sincere prayers. And your and other friends prayers
are accepted.

Now, the sincere prayers are for you. You have my
sincere prayers and best wishes for your upcoming
interview. I pray that you have a smooth interview
and "green" card soon after.

I appreciate your support throughout my process.
Thank you, kindly...

I again went to the international office and they were ready to give it to me but they added its gonna take 7-10 business days and i cannot be waiting for that long since I will be sending it the next week. I got the enrollment verification letter online though.it states that i am enrolled on the university. I think that should be good enough..
 
Hello sk8man,

That's a very low number, it will be current in October/2010. Don't send it before 10/01/10 though because they will reject it (the 2011 Fiscal Year starts on 10/01/10).

Good luck!

I have received the rejection notice from UCIS where they state that I have to apply for AOS only during the 2011 Fiscal Year, but I was not sure that it starts in October 2011. But now its clear, thank you!)
 
its very good to hear that you gonna be around. U have been a lot of help to me and all the members around and congratulate for the good update. I am sure that u know, i will have lots of question in the future as well
and best of luck for ur family's process, it will all work out good. God Is always good to good people..
 
this is what I am gonna be sending exactly this tuesday except I will put the name, case number and contact number on it.
I hope this is good...
and on this cover letter I wont address anything about the rejection. I will just assemble the document in the way that I will have the cover page, then I will have that letter explaining my AOS being rejected after the cover letter but I sont think I will mention about that letter in the Cover letter( or do I have to) and after that I will put the I485 form and so on...any other ideas guys..

Update

Capeolive - thank you for all you do!!

Here is an update from my part: KCC told me during the week that my file has not been requested yet. I still went ahead and scheduled an Infopass appointment and went to it today. The IO that helped me was very courteous, and looked my information. As San Diego has to ASC's (San Diego and Chula Vista - couple of miles apart) I went to the San Diego office. The IO, after looking up my info, noticed that my file is pending in Chula Vista - so he called the Chula Vista office to receive an update. Apparently the Chula Vista office has requested my file from KCC at the end of May and they are awaiting to receive it to be able to schedule an appointment. My case on the web site has not any updates and now I have some more information and know that something is moving. It looks like that patience is the key here and after being in the immigration process for the past 10 years I'll make it a little bit more. So Infopass helped to keep sanity in this whole process.

Capeolive, thank you again for your input as it is appreciated!!

Will update the forum once anything else moves...




Hi schneidi68,

Processing times at the Local Field Offices
do not apply to Diversity Visa AOS Applications...
 
Hi nepal2010,

Hi Summet,

Couple of things:

1. You should get translation of non-English documents.
2. You shouldn't put "Via FedEx Overnight"
3. It is better to write your case number with a pencil on top of the documents and on pictures
4. You should "of course" sign it.
5. I would move D and E on top than put the list.
6. Why Tuesday, why not send it Saturday (tomorrow)

this is what I am gonna be sending exactly this tuesday except I will put the name, case number and contact number on it.
I hope this is good...
