DV 2010 AOS Only

I have doing the things you told me to do from the day 1 so I am gonna do that this time. I hope the interview wont be that tough. I have all the documents ready as well.I am just gonna make copy of all the documents and have it on the folder which i will present if asked. From my experience in the dallas FO. the applicants are only asked for the documents that were mentioned in the interview letter like, I-20, I94, passport and the dv letter with dv fees. 3 of the people I know of had been asked the same thing and the interview wasn't more than 5 mins. I am having my fingers crossed for that. Hope I will have the easy interview.
Besides I have one question, when asked for the DV letter, is that supposed to be the first letter you get from KCC informing you won the dv or the one you get after you show your intension for AOS

Hi Summet,

You can only prepare so much. Just do what you can. That's it...

And of course pray and rely on God. He is capable of everything...

Later we will crack some jokes about your ordeal and choose the best lawyer joke...

Hi Summet,

By DV letter they mean the First Notification Letter
which they have sent you that starts with "You are
among those randomly selected for further processing
in the Diversity Immigrant Visa program..."

Also keep the 2NL with you as well. You don't know
what you'll be asked for.

Of course get the originals of the copies you have filed
to the interview. Your passport should be valid as well...

Thanks capeolive,
I am glad that I called KCC to send me the DV package with the first letter otherwise my lawyer didnt took responsibility of it and just lost it. Besides that I Got every thing done from my part, just have to collect the documents from my sponsor. However, I got into small trouble getting the documents coz he is out of town for a week since last thursday and he cannot go to the bank to get the statement from bank (officer) as been said in the instruction. Just now he faxed me the account details that he printed online from online banking, that only shows his name in the acccount and the present balance. And he will fax me his income tax return for 2008 and the extension of tax filing for 2009 tomorrow. Just like you said, I wont stress myself with whole lot of things and wont even pressure him. I will go with what ever I have got and leave the rest on god.

Update on My Case!

Hi friends,

DV applications are mostly done in one of two ways:

1. CP Overseas,
2. AOS in US.

There are also two other ways that can be done
which are not practiced much though:

3. Principal does AOS in US and his/her family CP overseas,
4. Principal does CP overseas and his/her family AOS in US.

Since I was grandfathered under section 245 (i)
and could not leave US and my family was living overseas
I had to go with option three which is my doing AOS
in US and my family CP overseas.

As most of you know after my case was approved
and I got my card my DV file had to be sent to the
US Embassy in Turkey for my family's Following-To-Join
DV application. Unfortunately, instead my file was
sent to National Records Center in MS by mistake.
As they say "things" happen!

I have been working on getting the field office
to get the file back and send it to the embassy.
I have been in contact with the field office, my
congressman, immigration ombudsman and the
US Embassy all alone. Other than the embassy
people are not experienced in DV AOS + FTJ DV
applications much. Because of this I had hard time
convincing people. Finally with the help of God
I was able to convince enough people. My family
and I received some personal phone calls showing
that they were working on the file.

I have been working on this day and night, there
were ups and downs. At the end thank to God I was
triumph. What has been done so far are:

1. My approved AOS file has been faxed to US Embassy by field office,
2. My DV FTJ file has been loaded to DVIS system and paper file has been sent to the Embassy by KCC.
Also it turned out that I was not required to file an I-824 for my family.

All these were done after the Embassy and the Field Office
had been contacted by my Congressman and CIS Ombudsman
in Washington DC.

I hereby send my gratitude and best wishes to Congressman
Joe Pits and his staff, to CIS Ombudsman January Contreras
and her staff, to Philadelphia Field Office first floor supervisor,
representative, third floor supervisor, and finally to Consul
General of US Embassy and his staff. Thank you again
ladies and gentlemen you have helped me and my family
a great deal. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

I am also glad that I was able to solve this matter without
seeking help from some higher up people I know personally.

My family's interview is removed to late September due to
timing. We have lost at least three months due to this whole
ordeal. I am not bitter and don't have any hard feelings. I am
rather glad, content and relieved. "Better late than never!"

I thank each and every one of you who has been supporting me
with good wishes and prayers. I still seek prayers and good wishes
of you who pray an good wishes of you who don't pray. Thank you
friends...

Hi Summet,

Since he is a naturalized citizen. He should have a
Certificate of naturalization which on top right corner
has a number starts with No. (the one my mom got has
8 digit number)

You can check the following link for images.

Hey guys,
