DV 2010 AOS Only

Hi Summet,

It is good news if they have transferred your file.

Somehow at the time when my file was requested
by the field office they refused to transfer it about
a week before my number was current.

They work in mysterious ways indeed...

Hey guys,
I just called KCC today, after a long waiting time (nothing new), I got to talk to the officer. He was nice over the phone, asked me my case number , full name ,DOB. After all this I forwarded my question "Sir, I was wondering about the new DV fee that went up by $65, However, I have already paid the fee of $375 and already got the receipt for that. At the same time I have also applied for my AOS and got NOA about a week ago so do I still need to pay the difference, if I have to whom should I pay it".
"@officer( put me in brief hold, i guess he was checking my case, then answered) Sir, I dont think you have to pay that difference, whatever you have paid is enough. Your are good to go"
To my other question:" Sir, can you tell me if you have already transferred my file to My local office "Irving"
@ officer:- Yes, sir we have already send your file to Irving office.

so guys this was my converstion with the officer at KCC, To make sure and to get some thing in written, I just emailed them. I want to be in the safer side. Do any of you have any comments if i should still be sending the fees or not.

I think its a good news, but I do remember that they had already send my file to local office even before I filed my AOS the second time, I think they send it after I filed my AOS first time,and I hope that my local office still have my files and wont ask me to get it from KCC again.
and about the difference in the fees what u think capeolive, should I stop worrying about it coz they said its not required or should I still have to do some more research.

Wait until you get an answer to your email.
They told some applicants that they have to
pay the difference though.

I think whatever they might say "last word"
will be said by the immigration officer.
Unfortunately IO"s have different practices.
In the past in rare occasions some applicants
were asked weird things late in the process,
like police reports etc.

To me this late in the process I would go
to the interview "over-prepared" just in case.
I would just pay the difference not to have
a possibility in case IO insists on it, even though
I believe it doesn't need to be paid...

Do we need to write our case number in front of the envelope, Summet? What did you write besides addresses?

Summet said:
HI feel,
let me answer your question that you asked me....In the letter it mentioned that we can send the file up to 90 days prior to the number becomes current but the thing is no one knows that your number is going to be current in 90 days unless you make a wild guess.so being in the safe side, its always better to apply once you see your number in the advance notification thats gonna be 50 days prior.
@ member having confusion with using the rubber band...
you look very confused about the filing deal. if you are confused about the rubber band. just do one thing. first make separate files for both of you. with separate cover letter and required document. punch two holes in the top and bind them with a binder after you do that put it in the fedex or regular mailing envelope and send it. I guess it shouldn't be hard. and u dont have to mess with the rubber band and also thats the way they file it over at Chicago, so basically u are saving them some time. and about writing the case number, I wrote it on all the documents with pencil, just to be in the same side. Its not gonna take a long time anyways.

Hi sagaghimire,

You should write the same thing on the envelope that you write on the cover letter.
This is what I wrote: (You should check the latest instructions about AOS vs. FBAS)

I dont want to take any chances as well. I did insisted to the officer over KCC about paying the fees but then he just said that why I want to do something which I dont have to and he dont know what to answer if I want to pay the fee. So, instead of taking his verbal work, i thought about sending an email such that I can get the written answer and use that as a proof in case of the worst scenerio.

@sagarghimire:- I think capeolive answered your question...

hey guys,
I check my online status at the uscis.gov every hr with the hope that some thing will be updated but the way its been going on, they wont update it till it goes to testing and interview skipping initial review and request for evidence. so you think this can be be possibility coz I havent heard from them anything..
 
I have been trying to stop thinking about it but so far I couldn't. So, I'll just mention it.

What do you think if we start a thread on "the rubber band"?

I need some suggestions about what name we should go with.

I have some suggestions myself:

DV 2010 Rubber Band Only

DV 2010 Rubber Band Only For Confused People

DV 2010 Rubber Band Only For Lost Souls

P.S. I am sorry, I just cannot stop thinking about it.

Hi Izzy120,

Are there any guidelines about "the color" of the rubber band?

Can the choice of color speed up or slow down the process?

What about the source of the rubber band, should we go with an imported or domestic one?

Hi Summet,

I couldn't understand your question, can you repeat it?

So, you are the one who is overloading the USCIS website!

Sorry, i am been writing this thread over the fon so the words might not have been clear. And I do admit I am the one overloading the USCIS website.
All i was asking was, since I havent got update yet over at uscis website, and not even been called for the biometrics, will my status there will jump from acceptance to testing and interview without going through initial review and request for evidence.
shortcut:- what are my chances of getting a interview letter without getting anything, what might be the time line and what are the chances of my file getting stocked and if that happens how to know about it..

I should celebrate the day when I found this forum.
It was so helpful for me.
So I can easy say that my card is your card:D.
Thank you for help, support and being here for me.
I wish to all of you to get your cards and
enjoy in your new status an freedom.
I'll be around to the end of the fiscal year.
I want to help, and also I want to see a very good news about
capeolive's family. Maybe we should write a petition to speed up
the process :D. I'm staying to the end.
Thank you guys!!!!!
 
Hi Summet,

Your online status should jump to Decision (CPO) straight after
the interview. You do not want the other steps especially RFE.

Just take it easy until August 2nd. (Because August 1st is a Sunday!)

Hi new one,

I am glad to hear that you finally got your green card
without any complications about the mail box...

Despite experiencing some "personal" problems
these days, I am going to post as I "originally"
intended. I will be OK probably...

I am doing some firsts today:
1. I am using color (green).
2. I am using bigger fonts (for the color).
3. I am ending with smiles (somehow I think you might like them)...

I am happy to hear that you are finally free.
Do not forget your slavery days and thank the
Lord who gave you your freedom in such an
easy way. With your words and deeds as well.
What are the odds of winning the Lotto..?

I hope you have a good and meaningful life
and meet with the good ones in your life...

You have my prayers and best wishes for
the rest of your life...

:):):)
 
Congrulation new one. You finally made it. hope we can get ours soon.
And ya we do have to think about the rubber band forum, but guys let us all finish our process for this fiscal year.
