DV 2010 AOS Only

Hi Everyone,

Good news !!! Received our interview appt. letter today. Interview scheduled on 04/28/10. Letter came on the regular white paper. Thanks to this forum I know it is normal not to get one on a proper letter head. We have been asked to bring this letter along with proof of DV receipt and proof of legal entry. Will now start getting all our papers together ready for the interview. Any suggestions on important documents to be carried would be helpful.

Awesome. Best of luck.

Great 2010FORME!!! Congratulations!!!
You are already ready for the interview.
Just bring all originals papers that you submitted in your AOS package, in the same order as you sent, and you'll be ok.
Good luck.
 
Hi 2010forme,

I am happy to hear that you got your interview letters.
You are one step closer to your cards...

Hi friends,

Update on my case (nothing good):

As I posted before I received a letter from KCC on March 30, 2010.
In short the letter read: "Local USCIS Office requested your file but
we cannot transfer your file A. Before it is current B. Before you pay
DOS fee X 3 for your family members.

I emailed them, called them and sent a letter via FedEx on March 30/31
explaining the situation that I was doing AOS here and my family CP.

I got an email back on 4/2/2010 stating: They cannot help me in this
issue and call USCIS. Also it states they cannot share confidential
information with me...

Today, 4/8/2010 I called KCC in the morning explained the situation to
the same man I had talked last week. Last week he said the letter
they sent was an automatically sent letter and they had my payment.
This morning he said if my family was not adjusting status I had to send
them an email stating that "I am the only member of the family doing AOS"
only then they can transfer my file.

I sent the email right away. Every time I called this person I feel a negative energy.
I decided to call again lunch time in case I could talk to another person.
I was able to talk to a lady that time. She said the same thing. I told her
that past week I emailed, called and sent a letter. But she said send another
email. When I said I did send one this morning. She said I had to wait 3-5
business days for a response. Let's see what happens...

Hi capeolive,
I'm sorry to hear about complications in your case.
But I'm sure you'll find a way to get things on the right way.
Cross fingers for you........
 
capeolive,

Have you made the payment of $ 375/- X 3 for your family? If you have has KCC sent you the receipt for this payment. What I understand from previous readings is that when they start processing your AOS they have to keep aside visa's for family members that are processing via CP. Hence they will only release the file once they get the payment. If you received the payment receipt you can call KCC and tell them you have proof of payment made and fax them your payment receipt. This may help.

I pray that you shall receive positive news soon. If you have to call KCC again should you get the same person that gives you negative energy disconnect and call again. Avoid this person.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you. Remain positive.

Perhaps scan and email the receipt + bank statement showing where the money came from....that could be more clear than a fax.

....

Sorry to hear that capeolive....I hope they untangle your case soon. As a worst case scenario, would it be possible for you to go back to your country and do CP with your family together????
Otherwise, I really don't know what to advise. Seems like you're trying all means of communications and they just don't want to understand. I hope they act up soon in your case and you get a good response right-away.
Good luck...we'll be praying for you.

Bring all the originals and make copies of the original documents that you wish returned.

Hello capeolive,

I'm sorry to hear about this misunderstanding from KCC. I think that you should call them again today or on Monday and check if they received your email and if everything is alright. I wonder why they say that they can't help you in this issue and why you should talk with USCIS; this clearly is a KCC's misunderstanding.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and waiting for good news.

Best of luck!
 
Hi 2010forme,

The fee of $375 is called "Adjustment of Status Fee Payment"
and is only made for the persons adjusting status in US.
I made it for myself and not for the family members.
They are going to do a Follow-to-Join overseas and
the DV Fee for that $775 per person and is paid
at the US Embassy overseas.

I made it very clear in my DV application that
I was making AOS here and my family members
would do Follow-to-Join application overseas.

I think what they did was they did not check my file
thoroughly. I can understand that but I sent them
a letter with 10 pages of supporting documents
explaining the situation. Called them, emailed them.

After more then a week instead of transferring my file
they tell me to email them "again".

I don't know what will change this time...

capeolive,

Have you made the payment of $ 375/- X 3 for your family? If you have has KCC sent you the receipt for this payment.

Hi bentlebee,

I scanned and sent the documents via email, called them.
I also sent a letter along with the documents via FedEx.
I thought if they didn't read the email they would read
the letter.

They responded my email advising me to contact USCIS
and a "copy-paste" information that they cannot share
"confidential information"

The fee of $375 as I said to 2010forme is called "Adjustment of Status Fee Payment"
and is only made for the persons adjusting status in US.
I made it for myself and not for the family members.
First Notification Letter KCC sends to DV winners
clearly states this...

Mistakes can be made I understand it.
They should just transfer my file, that's all I want...


Perhaps scan and email the receipt + bank statement showing where the money came from....that could be more clear than a fax.

Hi Norkira,

Thank you for your good wishes.

I cannot go back to my country that is to say I cannot leave US
before I get my card if I do I cannot come back for 10 years.
I am grandfathered under section 245i of Immigration and
Nationality Act...

As long as I stay here I am considered legal and
I have a right to do AOS...

Sorry to hear that capeolive....I hope they untangle your case soon. As a worst case scenario, would it be possible for you to go back to your country and do CP with your family together????

Thank you i2009,

They told me it would take 3-5 business days
for them to respond the email.
It is okay if they read it and answer the email accordingly...

This reminds me of my old days:
When I had my last EB application going on
I was always checking processing times and visa bulletin.
They were going back and forth.
Finally in April 2008 I was current but no interview letter
or green card. When I contacted USCIS they said that
I cannot make a service request unless 30 days passes over
my processing times. This 30 days passed in 1 year.
After I made the service request they said that my fingerprints
expired (they expire after 15 months) and they would send me
a finger printing appointment in 4 months. And they never did...
When I sent them a letter requesting my finger printing appointment
they sent me a letter back "We updated your address as you requested"
I sent them another letter they responded with another
"We updated your address as you requested"

I hope it does not turn out anything like that...

Dear capeolive,
please don't worry, everything is gonna be alright. We are all here with you. Don't let the previous experience discourage you. You still have a lot of time. Your case is a little bit different, but I'm sure you made it clear in your emails and letters. If you don't get a positive answer go and talk to someone else. There should be someone who can understand what's going on. As I understand KCC is not releasing your file to local USCIS because they think you are doing AOS for your famil, too. Maybe you may ask for your family's documents and send KCC to tell them they are doing follow-up. But they may complicate things more. Be optimistic and patient.

Hello capeolive,

I understand how you feel. I can relate in part of what had happened with your EB case. My priority date became current for a couple of months but the USCIS did not process it and then the priority dates retrogressed. I guess it is what everyone says, the system is broken.

I second what jasmine182 says, everything will be alright and we are here with you. Hang in there and do anything that is in your hands.

I was thinking that maybe the USCIS may still schedule an interview without the KCC file. There were some cases where the USCIS requested the files after the interview. I hope they don't waste much time.

Best of luck, you'll be alright!
 
Hi jasmine182,

Thank you for the encouraging words. I sent USCIS
enough information about my being the only
one doing AOS here and my family doing a
Follow-to Join overseas.

I sent the info again last week.

This week since they requested again, I sent it for the second time to them.

I don't know how their system works but may be somebody got the info
working on it and they simply don't know about it and they demand the
same info again. But the answer they gave to my email make me suspicious
if they read the emails thoroughly...
