Hey fellow 2010s
Does adding recommendation letter or resume to AOS package help? hurt? what are your thought and experiences?

Thanks
 
Hey fellow 2010s

Thanks

khayat,
i included my resume at the end of my package. i do not know whether it helped or not, or whether it was actually read by the ao. but my rationale was simply to include it, hoping it will strengthen my case.
 
Hi winnerdv11,

You can put it on the left hand side under your address...

I got little confused. Do I need to put my case number outside of the envelope, if "yes" then where to put. Normally left side of the envelope will have my name and address, rightside would have the Chicago lock box address, where to put the dv case number.

thanks you
 
Hi winnerdv11,

It depends on when you paid it but
it will be wise to email KCC and ask them...


here is what I saw in the DV website in July when they increased the fee. I already paid in JUne. My paid receipt date was JUne 18, thats why I didnot paid the difference. Now I saw someone has paid the difference and I am worried now.
Although it doesnot mentioned about the DV fee but I thought it applies to all the fees.

Important Notice - New Immigrant Application Fees: Immigrant visa application processing fees and other immigrant visa services fees changed on July 13, 2010, and immigrant visa application processing fees are now tiered. (There is no longer one single visa application fee for all immigrant categories.) Applicants will have to pay the full fees in effect on the day they apply, with the exception of applicants whose fees are collected by the National Visa Center (NVC). Applicants whose fees are collected by NVC, both prior to and after July 13, 2010, will be required to pay only the fees in effect on the day they are billed. Applicants billed by NVC at the current rate prior to July 13, 2010 will not be required to pay the difference between the current and new fees. (Review additional information, including a cost of service study on the www.Regulations.gov website.) "

thanks a lot for yourwishs winnerdv11. so far nothing has changed coz i want to get the things around me" graduate" first b4 I use the benefits of it, this is my last sem at school hope this card will help bring greenery in my life.
P.S guys I heard that now the wait period for the green card holder to bring their wife to states has significantly decreases and its easier to get the spouse here. I would be glad is any one can just bring some light at the end of this fiscal year, cozI know a lot of winner here who got their GF or wife back home wants to bring them here as soon as possible.
Note: by wife I mean those who got married after getting green card or after having their 1st NL or 2ndNL.
I just called KCC and the customer rep. told me "no need to pay the difference". Anyway I have also sent an email as per your suggestion- Summet.

Summet, Congratulations, I have not had a chance to congratulate you properly. May all your wishes/dreams come true and have a " happy, healthy and wealthy rest of your life"

Thank you guys
 
Hi Summet, Capeolive or any other experts

The address has been changed, although not the whole thing. Today I was checking the I-485 instruction and I saw the address is like below:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
Attn: FBAS
131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517

Is the "FBAS" and "AOS" same? If the I-485 instruction says above address, then we supposed to send on that one right? Can I put "AOS" instead of "FBAS"?

Any ideas guys?

Summet: Can I send u a private message in case if I need help/suggestion with something? Since u guys are done and fiscal year is about to end for 2010. I am assuming u guys won't be checking this forum more often. Capeolive has announced in the earlier thread that he won't be taking private message. Only few of you guys have extensive knowledge on DV AOS. It would be nice of you if you allow me to ask you some questions in future if needed. I promise I won't bug u much, unless necessary.

Thanks

Hi winnerdv11,

My take on the subject is:

USCIS made a mistake by printing FBAS
I would send it as AOS. Because I know
that former means Family Based and latter
Adjustment of Status.

Probably, you would be fine by doing it their way...

Hi winnerdv11,

...By the way, all good things must come to an end!

There is NuvF on 2011 thread, he is an expert on the subject.

Also, izzy120 came a long way she can be great help as well...

hi everybody!
i just notice that my current case status for form I-485 moved form acceptance to card/document production . i think i got it!!!. what do you think? i need some explanation.
 
Update: GREEN CARD Visa Approved and Received. Finally we received our green card visa today. Everything went smooth. Thank you Capeolive, NuvF, Izzy, i2009, Sumeet and all who helped me. I will write more in detail when we arrive back to US. But I do suggest everyone: do CP if you can, it is much much easier and less stressful than you will think.

Peace.....

Hi capeolive,

It happened to me to be very busy
after I got my green card.
But I am not complaining:D.
That small green piece of plastic,
give us a freedom, and chance to choose.
Every day I thank God that gave
me such a big opportunity.

Thank you for your nice words.
I am so happy that your family will reunite finally.

You always have my best! :D:D:D
