DV 2010 AOS Only

I just called the NCSC to inquiry if we didn't receive my daughter's fingerprint appointment because she doesn't need it (she is under 14) or because there was something wrong. I spent like an hour on the phone and I kind of have that feeling that I am not 100% sure of their answer.
 
I did an infopass today and went to USCIS office to ask about interview appointment. I was told that it is still too early to get interview appointments even for those who filed early October. The lady even did not believe me when I told her some people have already recieved their appointments. I lost 2 hours and 90 miles worth of gas.

Wow...that is a long wait while others already had their interviews scheduled or have had them...which city is your USCIS office located?

For Tampa they are saying it is a 4 month waiting period, although DV could be moving faster "if" USCIS not forget to mark it as a DV case, otherwise your case might be in between other cases...
 
I also had an infopass today. No results. "We have 90 days to process your EAD and AP. You should also get your interview appointment within this time-frame. Please call us otherwise" - was all I was told...
 
Valid passport

First find out how long your emabassy will take to renew your passport.
Next photocopy the two pages that have your photo ID and background information: age, name etc.
Since your number is current in Feb. or March you will at the time of your interview need a valid passport!

If you do not have a valid passport to photocopy before you send in your AOS package send a photocopy of the old one. BUT mke sure that if YOU DO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO RENEW- do so and send an updated valid photo copy.

JUSt BE on the safe side- copy the one u have now and go to renew at your embassy!!

You should include a valid passport. It should not take more than 3 weeks to send the old one to your embassy or consulate in the US and get the new one mailed to you, but i would advice you get started on it immediately. Check your embassy's website for details on how they handle a renewal and proceed. Good luck.

Hi all,

Thanks for your support.
My interview is next Tuesday. So excited and also little nervous.
I hope everything goes well.
I promise that I will post it after my interview.

Thanks again and good luck for your case too.
 
Thanks for your support

Thanks for your support Lucky, Daima and I have our interviews next week. Hani and Simpleman have it this week. Good luck to all.

Had a question for you. Did you happen to send any financial support documents to USCIS when you sent your AOS application to Chicago like an employment letter if you are working part-time or bank statements? I was wondering why they asked you for an Affidavit of Support! They didn't ask me. I did send the part-time employment letter. Just curious. Also, which is your field office?

Congratulations and good luck to Hani and CoolDude!!!!

The last update date on USCIS website changes after you did the biometrics. I am not sure what it means but it has to do something with the biometrics itself not the interview. I think that date changes for everybody after the biometrics appointment, regardless of when they get the interview notice. Correct me if I am wrong.

I don't understand how it works, mine hasn't changed. Last Update was 10/19 when the checks were cashed.
 
I think nnffme is right !!
Our LUD changed the day of the biometrics and a week later i had the EAD and AP in the mail. We are still waiting for the interview letter. So i guess they have nothing to do with each other.

Good luck Hani and Simpleman this week with your interviews.
 
Hey, This is my first post on this thread, but i have been reading it all along. I thought i should join to keep everyone updated on my case too.

I just received my EAD card and ADVANCE PAROLE in the mail, but for some reason my wife "which is the main applicant" still did not recieve her's. i checked her case status online and it still says "initial review" for both of them. i called the USCIS # and as usual they are of no help at all, it is like talking to a machine.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US

Ice Man,

Just curious…what is your EAD starting date? From what date to what date it is valid?
Best of luck to all of you guys!!

I2009 yes it was a little complicated today and I did not understand anything i just filled a paper!
 
Hey Marley,
The EAD card is valid for 1 year starting 11/3/09 which is the day after i did the biometrics

Interesting, my EAD based on my employment application is valid for 2 years. Maybe because the DV is not supposed to take more than a few months?
