DV 2010 AOS Only

[mechta]

hi guys,
So far I havent got the interview letter but I am keeping myself busy doing other stuffs so that I wont get worried about the case. During this course, I was looking for the sponsor. I talked to some that I have known through years but were in different states. When I asked them if they can be the sponsor, they just declined saying that the sponsor has to be a relative or a sponsor. I looked through many places to show them in written that thats not true and the sponsor can be any one. If you guys can send me some official link that states that It can be any one ( not only relative, blood relation, employer). I can show it to him and try to convince him for the sponsorship.
@ capeolive- I havent been to the IRS office yet, I think this time I am keeping myself very busy, I havent even got time to go there. But I am planning for the following days to be there and get some information.

Hi, Summet. May be this link will help: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/glossary/glossary_1363.html

"A document promising that the person who completes it will support an applicant financially in the U.S. Family and certain employment immigration cases require the I-864 Affidavit of Support, which is legally binding.All other cases use the I-134 Affidavit of Support"

3.a good luck(if that day the one who you are talking to, are in the bad mood, you better leave ASAP).

Hi zuno,

Do you think it will work for early filers (I will probably become current in OCT/NOV) or just for those near the end of FY?

I know I am getting ahead of myself, but just something to consider, just in case...

Thanks!

Mechta,

I would probably add a bit of company background so that the company looks legit, also include other company benefits (if there is any).

Hi, guys!!! How do you thing is this job offer format correct?

 

[capeolive]

Hi mechta,

There is not a strict form of the employment letter.
But you mention everything that needs to be mentioned
in the letter. May be before you finalize it a native speaker
can correct it.

So, are you going to do CP overseas? Because you address
American Consul General...

Hi Izzy120,

It might work anytime depending on the location.
But I think you should just chill out...

[Izzy120]

LOL, I knew something like that was coming...

After waiting for so many years, the day just couldn't come anytime sooner, who can understand this better than ya'll?

Yeah, one step at a time, for now, can't wait for the next VB to come out...

...But I think you should just chill out...

 

[Summet]

Thanks a lot capeolive and mechta for that piece of information. I know about the I134 deal however, whatever I told him, it was hard for me to make him believe the fact, now that I can let him compare two of them, he might do it for me, I am getting a step closer. But still dont know if he will say yes or no. I am glad that now atleast I can make people understand what I want from them.
I have 39 more hrs before I have my infopass, I hope I can relay some good information after that...

izzy,
ya, i agree with zuno and capeolive .... you have time on your side. take it easy. chill!

 

[Summet]

Hey guys,
I have something new to put infront of you. After capeolive asked me not to overload the uscis.gov link I stopped looking it for a while. But when I was scanning through the website today, the last updated last has changed, it jused to be 7/06 and now its 8/03, I believe its a soft LUD. what you think this might be.

 

[Summet]

@ zuno @chooti,
what was the last soft LUD on your case?was it before your biometrics, or after you biometrics or before getting the interview letter??? curios about that that LUD means to me

summet,
i think it could mean that there's an internal update to your case. i got a soft lud after my bio and has been that date since. for you, i hope it means that they updated your case with your old bio and are now preparing for your interview letter. let's hope it is so.

 

[Izzy120]

hey guys,

I was just wondering about "what ifs"... I am not rushing or anything, I will do everything on the right time as prescribed by USCIS, just wanted to be prepared "if" biometrics appointment letter would be like 2 months away from the time I get it...what "if" I have to travel (within US) around the time I am scheduled...or simply what "if" I want to do it earlier than the scheduled date, I just wanted to know if they will let us do that (and I know it would depend on each ASC). Just curious to know if this was the norm for those at the end of FY or would still apply to those in the beginning...For once, if I may, I wanted to get it over with...No worries pals, I know you just want the best for me

Thanks guys.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your interview experience.

Hello all,

First of all many thanks to capeolive and all others who keep this forum going!

I had my interview this morning and the outcome was that the IO approved the I485 with the remark that his decision would be reviewed by a fellow IO to avoid mistakes. My status on the I485 has switched from 'acceptance' to 'Card production ordered'.

As for the interview: My IO this morning was a man of few words. He called my name and my wife and I were brought to his office. We had to swear the oath and then he asked for identification (DL and passport) and started thumbing through the application. He wanted to see our marriage certificate, education background (I had grade cards from my home country, evaluation of my home country degree and translated certificate of my diploma), asked if I was working (I'm on H1B) and asked for pay stubs and employment letter (had only pay stubs). He then went through the I485 to confirm the information on it like home address and phone numbers and went through the questions of page 2. Then he started doing his admin work which took him about 20 minutes and mentioned about 10 minutes into his work process that he was updating the administrative part of the application and that the interview was over. As mentioned before, after completing his updates, he told us: I approved your application, however it will be reviewed by another IO to avoid that I made any errors. We thanked him and he escorted us to the exit...

Just wanted to share my experience on this and wish everybody else good luck in their endeavors.

It will be over when I have my card (green or other color) in my hand!

Hi Summet,

Usually LUD's are good. It might be slight but
there is a possibility that they have decided
that simply you may not have had a finger changing
operation during past five months and might have
accepted your old biometrics.

But still prepare yourself for a hurricane so if you get a storm you'll be better off...

Hi Izzy120,

Don't worry you are not the first one and you won't be the last.

I have been in immigration process for a long time.
I have seen INS became CIS and CIS became USCIS.

Anyways there have been people like yourself who have done
it in the first quarter of the FY. When you decide to do it
(I am not saying If on purpose) do it at the same ASC.

I already feel sorry for USCIS, I don't know if they can handle you
after going through with me. At least our field offices are different...

@ zuno @chooti,

The last LUD was the following day of biometrics and still the same. It seems there's a progress in your case and will receive your interview appointment soon. You will be able to verify the things in your infopass. Our file in KCC was not transferred to local USCIS office till last Friday. Hoping to call KCC again in this week. Has anyone got a new LUD after the file had been transfered from KCC to local office? How about you leongse?
