DV 2010 AOS Only

Thnx for your reply capeolive and i2009, I think i am gonna write yes on the form and will just mention that on the cover letter as well. to let the OI know that my case was declined the first time how ever I am in dilemma what to write on the tab where it says" If yes, give date and place of filing and the final disposition.
Should I just write yes and say Jan 4, and for place U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517
and final disposition:- Declined for early filing.
 
One more thing guys, since I am on F-1 status, my status is reflected by the valid I20 so do I just the current I20 or I have to send them copies of all the I-20's that I have,I dont have all the I-20's how ever, I only have 1 missing and got all together 5 of the I20's.so what will make more sense sending them all the I-20's or just the current one..
 
Hi Summet,

It sounds right to me...

Hi Summet,

You should send the copies of all of the I-20's you got.

In principle you should send the copies not the originals of most
documents and have the originals with you for the interview...

One more thing guys, since I am on F-1 status, my status is reflected by the valid I20 so do I just the current I20 or I have to send them copies of all the I-20's that I have,I dont have all the I-20's how ever, I only have 1 missing and got all together 5 of the I20's.so what will make more sense sending them all the I-20's or just the current one..
 
thanks capeolive,
I think that is what I am gonna do, send the copies of all the I-20s that i have left in my drawer. But i am still confused about the thing to write in the tab for the question"if applied for PR before" Like I post on this firm before I am assuming it to be the date I filed for the AOS that is 4th of jan and for the place I thought its gonna be priority mail department in chicago locker. and reason for declination being early filing. Please comment and on my next post I will be having my cover page ready which I made with help from Capeolive and Nepal2010. All the documents that are in the lists are not with me how ever I am planning to get them ready by this tuesday, if not I will have few missing.

Hi Summet,

There is no point applying for I-765.
Just take that out. Post another one
without I-765 so that we can work on it.
Later I'll post more comments...

I didn't understand this part it does NOT match up. Change it.
Read it again and again and re-post it. Also take out your
email address from the post you might get unwanted fans.
Be careful there are a lot of crazy people around.

Just edit it...

and based on the July 2010 Visa Bulletin published on June 2010, the number is current for April.
 
Hi Summet,

Some more suggestions in bold letters...

Monday, June 22, 2010
Monday, June 21, 2010

and based on the July 2010 Visa Bulletin published on June 2010, the number is current for April.
This is wrong information but I would take out the whole thing.

Along with Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Resident or Adjust Status),
Take that out as well.

I did applied for adjustment of status on Janauary 2010, however the application got declined for the reason that my number was not yet current for 90 days from the date I applied.
I applied previously for AOS on January 4(whatever) , 2010, however my application was rejected
due to filing more than 90 days before becoming current. I am adding the rejection letter.
 
yeah, I am sending it from fedex, so is that fine if I use that addesss or I have to edit that as well with something else...
thanks for ur time and interest capeolive.
 
I am gonna have my real email address on the cover letter how ever the one I used there is just a imaginary email. I feel sorry for the guy who will really have that email add..
 
I did some of the editing like you said, will appretiate some more comments....

Hi Summet,

Instead of writing:


Re: Application to Register Permanent Resident or Adjust Status (Form I-485) of
SUMMET – a winner of DV-2010, case number 2010AS000*****


I would write:

RE: I-485 Application for Adjustment of
Status (AOS) for LASTNAME, Firstname -
Diversity Visa Lottery Winner
with Case Number: 2010AS000*****
 
Hi Summet,

I personally would NOT include the following sentence.
If there is a "novice" person checks it and sees "August"
it may not be good. You may or may not add it. But I wouldn't.
If you want to ask around, again tomorrow...

and based on the July 2010 Visa Bulletin the number is current for August

I wouldn't include it.
 
Hi Summit,

I would just add "a letter explaining early application and rejection"

I would also add the copy of "the rejection letter"

Wow, now you have quadruple X hotmail email. Be careful you might get a lot of emails...
 
i would like to know how long a medical exam can take to expire, coz i did mine last year july, 7 2009 but my case is current this year on august 2010. Do i need to do a new one?
 
Answers to your questions about fees are on page 8 of I-485 instructions:
$930 for I-485 and $80 for biometrics (total $1010) payable to "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" (you are right)

Information on where to file your 485 is on page 5 of I-485 instructions:

i.e., for DV cases:

USCIS Chicago Lockbox Address:
For US postal service (USPS) deliveries:
USCIS
PO Box: 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120

For express mail and courier deliveries:
USCIS
Attn: FBAS
131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517

Please refer to the USCIS site to download the latest instructions on 485.

Thank guys...I've download it yesterday, but I thought AOS pkg is not mail to USCIS from us so i skip that page
