DV 2010 AOS Only

[cooldude06_78]

My last update date was updated after the biometrics was done.
I was wondering which local USCIS office will handle your case....
Thank you for your reply

My local field office is Jacksonville, FL.

How did you know if your I-765 was approved? Did they tell you or is there a way to find it? Thanks for the reply.

I am still waiting for that interview letter. I wanted to make an infopass in case where my letter has been lost in the mail but guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NYC office is so busy right now that you can only take an infopass for the 19 of the month, all prior dates have been booked. So I still took an infopass for that day and let see in 1 1/2 week what they will tell me.

Need expert AOS advice.
This is for my Girlfriend.

She is a freshman in college.

Let's say she enters DV-2011 lottery. (She meets all the qualifications)

Two possibilities.

She ends up not winning the lottery. End of story.

She ends up winning the lottery.

Now let's say she gets a low Case Number. Then she will go ahead and apply for the Immigrant Visa.

Now if she gets a high Case Number, she is not going to apply.

I wanna know if she is putting her F1 status at risk just by winning the lottery(but not filing for an IV)?

And what about going home on summer breaks? Will that be risky if she had won the lottery?

Basically, should she take the risk of entering the lottery? The benefits are better Financial Aid, better job opportunities after graduating. The downside is risking her F1 status.

She is going to get a GC anyway, but there is quite some time before I become a citizen.

Thank you.

Hey, how are you? I do understand that you need help. But my advice is that she wins first and then you can consult with a lawyer or some friends.

Better have a green card than a F1 status. I know what I am talking about because I am a F1 student and I spend a lot of money for school. Take a chance and tell her to play. Once she wins, she will always find a solution.

I have a question: I filed I-485, I-765 and I-131 but recieved bimetrics appointments for only I-485 and I-765 but not for I-131. Has anyone recieved a biometrics appointment for a I-131? I am in Texas and still waiting for an appointment letter. It is so stressful

I-131 does not require biometrics according to what is written in its NOA letter.

You should ask your girlfriend to apply. If she wins then until she files for adjustment of status (AOS) and she passes the interview she would still be F-1 visa. AFter her interview I think her status would change as the office should tell her that she has been approved. And when she applies for AOS (I-485), she can apply for employment authorization (I-765) and travel document (I-131). So she can still travel in the time being while her green card reaches her in the mail. Usually these days it doesn't take long to get the green card (with in a month after the interview), but if by chance there is delay you would be able to get the I-765 and I-131 approved, and would be able to travel on I-131 travel document. So it is very simple with out any problems. Go ahead and apply without worries.

Hi June620,

How do you know that I765 was approved?

I have done my biometrics and I checked my status in USCIS website.

Please let me know where to check this status. Thanks.

I got an email said that your I765 was approved, your card has been order, please wait about 30 days to get your card in mail
The status of USCIS website was the last one , card production

 

[june620]

First i got an SMS said that the receipt number was updated and then I got an email said that the card was in production then the USCIS web site said that it is card production

Hi no Stressful at all dude.
There is no biometric appointment need for I-131.

If they approve, your I131, you will mail to you.

Email alerts from USCIS

I got an email said that your I765 was approved, your card has been order, please wait about 30 days to get your card in mail
The status of USCIS website was the last one , card production

When does one get an email? Only when something is approved? Do we get emails once the NOA's are sent or any other notice for interview appointments? I have signed up for email alerts but haven't got any as yet!

Hmmm... I signed up for USCIS update the day i received the mail of NOA's. But when my I-765 was updated from acceptance to Initial review, i did not get any email! I did not sign up for the SMS message! Did you also apply for I-765, if so did you get an email too, or only the SMS message?

Thanks for the info June620. I think once they approve the application they send the alert! It is an interesting observation that the NYC office would issue the notice of approval for I-765 immediately after biometrics but then they have 7 month processing times for the I-485. Wonder if it is some kind of compensation for the other process being slow! Thanks again.
