DV 2010 AOS Only

HI DAIMA and SIMPLEMAN, I have my biometrics on the 10th, do you think we might have our interviews in November or early Dec.?

It's a possibility. I think when it comes to the interview it all depends on your Local office. We still haven't received our interview letter as I said earlier. So we just have to sit tight and wait. There's somebody in here who has an interview in December and I think their Biometrics is this month.
 
Thanks...she got a little nervous when the check was cashed...but I assured her that her papers are all looking fine..just stupid to forget that one box and to me a little bit strange that it matters since all papers are showing she has a case# and won the DV lottery...but of course it is her mistake and although she checked all her papers 3 x this paper was filled out immediately and over looked. She was also caught up in what to fill out with the port of entry...since the last time she entered she went through customs in Ireland which was strange at the time but very convenient but also weird to fill out port of entry as Ireland, which it actually was.

Good Luck with your case and it is so nice to read all the good news most people have:)
 
Hi Daima,

I already have an interview letter but nothing changed online status.
I never had 'Acceptance', it was always 'Initial Review'.
I check this morning again, it is still the same when I received NOA.
So I think they don't update very open, I read somewhere they update like every two weeks, not sure. DV process is faster then any other case so we can't rely on online update. So don't get depressed if it doesn't change. It doesn't mean anything and your case is in process. Good luck.

Our status page hasn't changed since October 19th, that's when the checks were cashed! and it's still on Acceptance and Initial review just like simpleman's. I've never received any updates either since I signed up! So I guess we shouldn't really rely on that!

Hello bentlebee,

I am sorry to hear that your friend's package was returned. Good news that she got her check cashed now. If you don't mind me ask, what was the box that she forgot to answer? I checked everything 100 times but still I had doubts that everything was right. With so much papers and forms it is very easy to miss something.

I hope her process goes well now

Thanks Hani and Daima, I thought that there was something wrong with the status of my application.

Good luck to all

I had to take an infopass last week to submit form G 325A even if they didn't request it. I read that forum and all of ya have submitted it so I decided to do so. The lady was very suprised that I received the NOA and biometrics letters withou those and told me that my package is already in the same office i was ( Federal Plaza building in NYC) and that she will just include it in my file.

Hi i2009, My status is still on the acceptance. However, my last update date move forward yeaterday from 10/15 to 11/03. I guess because of my biometrics. My thought is that my biometrics are cleared since I did them on the Monday 3rd this month.

I am sorry for your sister. I do have a question for you. Does USCIS confirmed her eligibility to adjust status or you are going to use immigration court?

She forgot to fill out part 2 (I-485) in which is asked what the reason for applying is...
She didn't know what to fill out on the port of entry and we discussed it over and over and thought everything else was filled out...we checked all other papers so many times that we overlooked this and USCIS at first also, because they had stamped all papers on the right side, but this papers was by hand crossed out over the stamped part and a paper added with "rejected due to part 2 missed to filled out"...nice that they clearly stated why, because you don't have to search and get too worried.:)

Did she hire a lawyer....might be a good solution to spent some money if the lawyer is stating she has a chance...for $ 350.- the lawyer might be able to shed some light and either give you hope or not...either way is better to know...

I have addressess for a immigration lawyer in NY and Miami and both are great...and we very helpful in the past...I never have met any of them but got my visa every time:), you can do a lot over the phone and by email/fax...

Not yet ..........that is the big quetion........ if she is eligibil for change her status but uscis cann't do any thing right now even she cann't sent her packages until the court drop the case first . it is really hard for her after she been here Ten years .
 
HI DAIMA and SIMPLEMAN, I have my biometrics on the 10th, do you think we might have our interviews in November or early Dec.?

It is very possible that you will have your interview before the end of this year. In my case. I received the biometrics appointment first then and the interview appointment letter within two days. It seems like it all depends upon you local office and their processing.

I agree with Bentlebee, you do have to consult with a lawyer for that particular case. She might not be eligible for adjustment of status. However, she can pass throught the immigration court with a good lawyer. 10 years here............ What status did she have. I am F1 undergraduate on opt.

Yes she hire big time lawyer from Boston ..............but the judge who hold her case is .......she is so hard woman....... she has little history around boston area.

Bentlebbe i really do not mind if you give my their number the lawyers ....we can call them. we aready called lot lawyers to get more information. some of them never heard that kind of case...........some said she can change her status while she is here..............different information from different lawyer.
You need to have that kind of case to know how it goes........for them too

Thank you ...........Bentlebbe i see you around give good imformation to all

Oh! That's too bad that they returned the whole package just because of that box. Some people answer "A" (my case) and some others "H" and they seem to be OK for them. Well, glad to hear that she is back on course!

Good luck
