DV 2010 AOS Only

Hi, it seems many threads here are by H1 visa holders which permits dual intent that is applying for a permanent residency status. Can someone let me know what happens to the F1 visa when applying for the adjustment of status? Is the F1 visa automatically cancelled, if yes how does the person remain enrolled in school to finish the studies. Is the risk of not being able to get the green card high, and if yes does the person risk obtaining a nonimmigrant visa in the future? Many sites on the web says so, hence it seems it is quite risky and scary to continue on the next stages by applying to adjustment of status.

I would be very happy if someone can help resolving some of these issues. Thank you so much.
 
Hi Simpleman and other lucky winners who recently got GC,

Congratulation. It is great news and am sure is great holiday gift. Hope 2010 will speed up the process and we will also be lucky to get DV processed faster than 2009 for Asia.

Happy Holiday and Happy New Year 2010.

Again, anyone doing AOS for Fresno, CA field office?

Hi All,

I received my and my wife's EAD cards in the mail on the 24th. I thought I received the interview appointments but when I opened the envelopes there is the EAD card. Since I am on H1B and working already not a big change but I guess it shows things are moving.
Hope to see my interview appointment soon...

Congratulations ayataf. I hope you receive your interview letter soon. I heard you about your H1B and the EAD but it means that your case is moving. That's great news.

Good luck!
 
Thank you everyone. I am so happy that my case is finally over.
I am sure green card is on the way. Will keep you all posted.

I will be around even after receiving the green cards. This place has been very helpful so I have to be around to help others too.

Congrats Ayataf. Any progress is good news. We hope to hear about your interview letter soon too. You can add your info about the dates in your signature. The way you do that can click on "User CP" in the menu on the webpage, then on the left side you will see many options, among which is, edit signature. You can go and add it over there and save it. All the best on your case.
 
SS card updated - restrictions removed

Hi everyone,

Just checked the mail after 3 days ... found my SS card. It does not have any restrictions anymore:) Just says the SS number, name, date issued and place for signature. It says on the instructions which come with the card not to laminate it! Wonder why!
