DV 2010 AOS Only

Hi zubi,

It is valid for one year so you should get a new one.
Plus if your number will be current in August, you
can apply now. Actually you could have applied any
time after June 10, 2010. There is not much time left
until the end of this Fiscal Year. Do not waste the "precious"
time you got. Think about applying, now...

by adding another letter explaining early application and rejection. Do you mean , I write one more letter addressing the IO about my experience with the lawyer who applied it early and got rejected. Or what you want me to include on that.I am going to be sending the Rejection letter anyways, but I am sure that the letter should add more strength on it. Any idea capeolive how to start with in the Letter.And I have more more edited version of the cover page with all your instruction..
 
Yes, that's what I meant. You should add a "separate" letter
explaining the early application. You should also list it in the
cover letter...

I have got to wrap it up for the night...

Dear leongsce and to all,

For early file, we are allowed to submit AOS package to Chicago ahead of 90 days in advance of visa bulletin formally becoming CURRENT, aren't we?

Let's say, if visa bulletion will be definitely becoming CURRENT on September, so can we trigger early file on 1st June OR 1st July?
Some said June (because not include September), others said July (because include September).

I think this thread would be helpful for whom belongs to very high CN.

Please advice.

Thank you so much.

My bad, it should be "AOS" NOT "FBAS." I copy/pasted the address from the instructions, thus the error, I should've been more careful. SORRY!!!

You are definitely doing a great job by doing it yourself, besides, there are so many great people here to guide you with it. I really hope that yours will process soon without any delay! My best wishes for you!

hi crna,
according to a murthy law firm newsletter dv applicants can file 90 days in advance. but the article has been dated so long ago i don't know how valid it will be. this link below is the article...
http://www.murthy.com/arc_news/a_lwadj.html
however, it is a common practice to file when you see your cn becoming current in the advance notification section of the vb. so assuming the vb gets published june 10th, there are about 50 days to august (20 days in june, 30 days july).
for me, i am current in aug ... i have sent in my package.
if one goes by the murthy law firm's article, then you are able to file now. but many in the forum feels otherwise, as some people have got their package rejected because of filing too early. but there are also some who have filed way early (more than 90 days, don't remember who but are from this forum) and they had no problems. i think it all boils down to the io. it's still a risk but the decision is yours. i think at this stage of the fiscal year, time is of the essence.
all the best to you.
 
I think you havent seen the amount of time it takes to go through all the process if u still wait u might be late, i am sending mine on tuesday...
 
thnx Izzy120,
i really do appretiate your support, i have my fingers crossed i might come up with some question when i will advance in filling the application. i am positive to be getting all your feed back.
 
Hi zubi,

Yes, you can send it now and you should.
Read the thread you will see that:

You can send in your application when
you see that your number will be current in
advanced notification of the visa bulletin.
Check the signatures, you would see that
many people applied around 50 days in advance.
My number would be current in April but I sent in
my application in February. If your number is below
the advanced notification of July visa bulletin, get
everything ready and apply. Also from settings
post your signature like other people. Good luck...

C. ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF THE DIVERSITY (DV) IMMIGRANT CATEGORY RANK CUT-OFFS WHICH WILL APPLY IN AUGUST


Region All DV Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed Separately

Hi CRNA,

There are two important rules:

1. You CANNOT apply before your fiscal year starts. Applications are accepted between October 1st to September 30th of following year.

2. Within the fiscal year you can apply when you see the number at Advanced Notification, which is between December to September around 50 days in advance.

These are the rules that have been practiced. 90 days is not valid, in practice there is no way to find out what would the numbers be after 90 days...

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.

Hello Summet,

I understand that you need to use the information in your rejected I-485 Receipt Notice (i.e. Receipt Date and Location).
