DV 2010 AOS Only

I got my BIO app last Saturday...it's on Agu/2 ^^happy


Hey zuno,
I was just wondering if you have heard anything new on your case, coz we both are moving in the same pace so the things should go the same way with both of us. The only thing I am gettting confused over and over is , if i dont get my biometrics appointment, what should I be thinking, should I be thinking that they accepted my previous biometrics or that my process is stocked somewhere.??
any comments guys??
capeolive you have any vision or suggestion on this scenario??? I am just getting worried as the date is approaching.
 
Thanks NuvF,
I think I will buy your idea. about the next step, I will wait 2 more week to see if i getm y biometric and if i dont get anything by then or anything from the local office, I will just make an appointment from info-pass, atleast they can tell me if they got my file yet or not.

I am feeling like u will have your interview on aug 18. Its just a guess though!!! Lets see how good will my guessing be!!
 
thanks Nepal2010 for such a good prediction, I hope that's gonna come true, I think you calculated it with the average interview times from different winners. ZUNO applied for AOS with me and he got his biometic appointment for August 2, so that means the processing centre is doing its job very fast. I just want to have some information such that I can give some peace to my mind that I dont have to give the biometrics appointment.

Update on my Case!


Hi Friends,

After my case was approved the Field Office was
supposed to send my file to the US Embassy in my
country. Last time I went there they told me that the
file was out of the field office but could not or did not
tell me where they had sent it.

I had my suspicions that they might have sent my file
to the wrong place. But since the "person" I talked to
insisted that she could not do anything and could not
talk to the immigration officer who handled the case
I have decided to wait about two more weeks and
meanwhile try to call the field office and contact the
US Embassy. I had four phone numbers of the field
office, I called all the numbers may be 10 times.
I was never able to talk to a person I left messages
but nobody called me back. I have also been contacting
the US Embassy and they have been telling me that
they had not received my file.

I was at the Field Office today with another infopass.
I was finally able to convince the first person I talked to
and was able to talk to the supervisor. She talked to the
immigration officer on the upper floor. I was finally
told that instead of sending my file to the US Embassy
for processing of my family's visas, my file had been
sent to National Records Center where they send the
files they are done with.

So, now they have to request my file back and expedite
it. We scheduled another appointment in two weeks.

Unfortunately, they do not know the process. They are still
not convinced that they have to send the file to the US Embassy.
I have made it clear from the beginning and then at the interview.
After the interview I sent them two more request letters. They
have not even read the cover letter.

Also I was asked some weird things: like they wanted to see the 1NL
with my family members name on, I told them it comes only with primary
winners name on. Also they told me if I had paid the visa fee for my family,
I told them it is paid during the interview at the US Embassy.

God help me, they don't know the process and they don't know that
they don't know. They are not even willing to learn. There are still
some "good" people though.

How convenient it is: "Winning the DV Lotto is not a guarantee to get
the card" and "If you cannot get it by September 30th, you lose your right"

At least it was partially good news that I was able to locate the file.
I will go there one last time. I hope they get my file back and transfer
it to the US Embassy so that my family's case can be processed on time.
I will do whatever it takes. I have just been trying to do it without going
to higher up people.

I hope nobody experiences similar things in the future but I am posting
my experience for the future applicants and for the friends who still
care for my case so that they can pray for me...

Hi Capeolive,

I am sorry to hear about your situation. But I am positive that everything will be alright. You have helped people like us and I believe in Karma. I will keep you in my prayer. Do you know how many days do they take to send your file to US embassy? Do they have to send it by mail or they send the scanned copy of your document? If they send it by email it should not take that long.
I think you should not wait 2 weeks to get info pass; may be showing up every week will help.
Good luck.

Congrats Chooti. Seems they are doing their job quicker. Happy for you. Now, we waiting our number to be current.
 
Update on my Case!

Hello capeolive,

I am so sorry to hear about your case. I still am in shock about your update. I really don't get it, how is that these people have in their hands our future and they don't seem to care. My personal experience says that the Immigration Officers are professionals but the rest of the staff don't know a thing. They are just there to complicate the cases. I agree, some InfoPass employees are nice but unfortunately being nice alone does not solve any issue.

Is there any way that we can request to talk with an Immigration Officer? Can the DOS help?

All the best and thank you for sharing your case. I always am wondering about your case.
 
Congrats Chooti.

Capeolive, through every struggle something good comes out of it...you were able to locate the office, that's great, at least you know where to focus your energy on next. I wish they didn't make it so hard and complicated for you, but I really really have a strong feeling that you are going win this one and you will reunite with your family before you know it. I'll definitely keep you in my prayers.

Good luck.
