DV 2010 AOS Only

The New Applicants!

Almost all the numbers are going to be current for September.

So, almost any number can apply.

But if they run out of visa numbers, they will stop giving visas.

In case this happens, it means "first come first serve"

Thus it may be very important to make the application as soon as possible.

Hi Capeolive,

Just a quick question. Do you think the visa number will run out for CP even if we have appointment from KCC? Everyone please chime in. Again, I am sure you will be fine. Our prayers are with you.
 
Hey capeolive,
getting stressed out again, any informations???atleast throw few jokes/...I mean to know my process, do u think if i visit the local office via info pass they can tell me if they got my file yet??
 
Hi maila,

Probably not, but there is still a slim possibility.

So, the people that are applying here they should do it right away.
There is also possibility not to get enough time mostly for people
doing AOS. A week's time or two weeks may be very vital at the
end for people doing AOS.

Please, people doing AOS do not waste your precious time,
apply as soon as you can.

People who are doing CP, you are going to be scheduled for
interview, have faith...

Hi Summet,

You shouldn't even think about doing anything before August 1st.
If you get any news on bio or interview you can act accordingly.
Just schedule an InfoPass for the first week of August in advance.

I will throw you some jokes about your favorite subject "lawyers"

This is just "freedom of speech". Good lawyers please, don't get offended.

A: At a circus, the clowns don't charge the public by the hour.

Q: What do honest lawyers and UFOs have in common?

A: You always hear about them, but you never see them.

***

Q: When lawyers die, why don't vultures eat them?

A: Even a vulture has taste.

Update on my Case!


Hi Friends,

After my case was approved the Field Office was
supposed to send my file to the US Embassy in my
country. Last time I went there they told me that the
file was out of the field office but could not or did not
tell me where they had sent it.

I had my suspicions that they might have sent my file
to the wrong place. But since the "person" I talked to
insisted that she could not do anything and could not
talk to the immigration officer who handled the case
I have decided to wait about two more weeks and
meanwhile try to call the field office and contact the
US Embassy. I had four phone numbers of the field
office, I called all the numbers may be 10 times.
I was never able to talk to a person I left messages
but nobody called me back. I have also been contacting
the US Embassy and they have been telling me that
they had not received my file.

I was at the Field Office today with another infopass.
I was finally able to convince the first person I talked to
and was able to talk to the supervisor. She talked to the
immigration officer on the upper floor. I was finally
told that instead of sending my file to the US Embassy
for processing of my family's visas, my file had been
sent to National Records Center where they send the
files they are done with.

So, now they have to request my file back and expedite
it. We scheduled another appointment in two weeks.

Unfortunately, they do not know the process. They are still
not convinced that they have to send the file to the US Embassy.
I have made it clear from the beginning and then at the interview.
After the interview I sent them two more request letters. They
have not even read the cover letter.

Also I was asked some weird things: like they wanted to see the 1NL
with my family members name on, I told them it comes only with primary
winners name on. Also they told me if I had paid the visa fee for my family,
I told them it is paid during the interview at the US Embassy.

God help me, they don't know the process and they don't know that
they don't know. They are not even willing to learn. There are still
some "good" people though.

How convenient it is: "Winning the DV Lotto is not a guarantee to get
the card" and "If you cannot get it by September 30th, you lose your right"

At least it was partially good news that I was able to locate the file.
I will go there one last time. I hope they get my file back and transfer
it to the US Embassy so that my family's case can be processed on time.
I will do whatever it takes. I have just been trying to do it without going
to higher up people.

I hope nobody experiences similar things in the future but I am posting
my experience for the future applicants and for the friends who still
care for my case so that they can pray for me...

Hi capeolive,

I am so sorry to hear bad news.
It's very sad how nonprofessional they can be.
They really don't know how much that means to us.

I believe that all this situation made you angry and disappointed.
But hang in there. You still have time to make things right.
You still have time to fight with them. You have ours prayers,
and God is with you.
And I'm sure you'll get a battle. Just stay positive!!!
 
Sure I will...and I do hope I can get me Interview appointment letter soon, In your case, maybe you are ahead of me, get int letter directly ^^!!
I'll banded my finger crossed..lol

Hello dear Forum members. You have been of tremendous help so far, thanks for all support!
I have another question to ask. I am DV-2010 winner, my cut-off was in April. I got biometrics appointment for June, but I had to ask to reschedule it. Now I moved to different city and trying to reschedule it once again (will try calling USCIS tomorrow). I am worried about deadlines - am I getting too late with biometrics and following interview? I am afraid to be late for September 30 deadline.
Thanks!
 
hello Sogdian

My prayers is too you.

Good luck

Hello doxtyp,

If possible, try not to delay your case anymore. Maybe you can take your biometrics in the original location but you need to hurry and let USCIS know that you changed your residence because they can't take your AOS interview in a Field Office that does not correspond to your current location. Take an InfoPass and see if you can get help.

Good luck!

Wow, a lot has happened here while I was away for a while.

Capeolive, I am sad to hear the constraints about your family's case but you did the right thing by listening to your gut and by doing the best you could. Its our lives that we are putting in the hands of people who don't care and who don't know squat about the process. It would only be wise to carefully monitor the process and to ascertain that the files be transferred to your local Embassy in a timely manner. You just can't rely on anyone anymore. Be optimistic and work a little harder (which you always are, of course) and it WILL pay off in the end. You have given so much to everyone here and you have our deepest and honest prayers and regards that you be united with your family soon. You still have some time left and I know you will come out with flying colors.

Olsson, congrats on your new status!

Sogdian, I hope your interview goes well today without any delays!!! Waiting to hear about your experience.

zuno & summet, I wish you all the very best and hope you guys will get interview dates soon.

Maila, you are CURRENT!!! I hope you will hear something very soon so you can go and get your GC and come back as a LPR and tell us the good news!!!

All of your have my sincere prayers and best wishes!!!
 
I feeeeeel so behind!!!
If I compare my case to others I feel like I should have received and done the biometrics a while ago :(
It's so frustrating...
How long before your cases went from acceptance to initial review on the case status?
 
Congrats to Olsson for receiving the GC.

Maila, you're current, yayyyyy, best of luck, don't loose the positive attitude...it will help you A LOT, not just now, but forever and ever.

Good luck to the ones still waiting for the biometrics and interview letters....have a little faith...they will show up as soon as you stop waiting for them.
 
Hi new one,

There is a good news within the bad one.
The file had been lost before, I was at least able to locate it.

I am not angry yet for two more weeks at least.

Thank you for your prayers, and good wishes...

You got your PDA yet?

Hi Olsson,

I am happy to hear that you got your green card.
You had some complications at the beginning but
finally you got it. It is time to be humble and thankful...

Hi doxtyp,

It might be better to go to the original place and to do the bio.
At this point you do not want to complicate your case more.
Try to do an InfoPass about your situation...

Please, edit your signature and location so that we might be more helpful.

Hi Izzy120,

Thank you for your prayers and good wishes.

I am giving them one last chance to correct their mistake.
If not I got a road map, but I prefer to do it in a nice way
though. It will be better for everybody...

Hi FrenchiC,

It is interesting that even though you applied long time
ago they have not returned your application. They returned
Summet's application after cashing his check for instance.

People whose numbers are current for September are
just applying now.

Since your application is already in they can process it now.
Honestly they couldn't have done anything till yesterday.
Good luck for the rest of the process...
