Dv-2010

how weird.. if they're updating the website as we speak, it will be interesting to see when will they actually let us check if we won. They initially said begining July 1st, but as it seems, the system will be up earlier [just an assumption]
I think it's great... now we won't have to stalk our mailboxes everyday with anticipation lol
 
I'm pretty sure they will launch the online check sooner than July 1st. Keep my fingers crossed for all of you :)
 
Hey Guys,
I'm pretty sure we're all crashing the official website right now!
Btw, are you all getting the same authentication request? it's asking me for user name and password.
 
My Frirends,
We will be really happy if they show the result online now and as I said before everything will be bright after a couple of minutes! You are a winner OR you are a big looser!!!:D
But,
As you know adding a page to a website that should serve to about 7.000.000 person, is a little hard work and has a many technical difficulties. They are now working on it and they will not put the real data in it until they done their works. I mean it is possible that you see a ready page that ask you to enter your Confirmation code for result BUT there isn't any real data in site!;)

My friends, please calm down and just wait until they say that it is ready for check!!!;)

websites like youtube, facebook and myspace handle more than that number every month.
I think US gov't should be able to handle this once in a year ;)

I hope they website will be up ASAP, because waiting for the results can be frustrating, good luck to us all!

DV 2010 while residing in the USA?

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone been selected for the Diversity Visa while legally residing in the the USA?

If you have, I think you are very fortunate to be already living here and getting a chance to get your status adjusted, while in the USA.

I reside (legally) in California and have been selected for the DV 2010 program, very fortunate. I have a few questions for those who can offer some guidance in this process.

1.) I am confused about the filing date. USCIS field officer told me to file on October 1, 2009, the beginnig of 2010 fiscal year. Is this accurate? Not doubting authority, but I have spoken to my attorney and she is not so sure and told me to read the instructions, hmmm... but I have not been able to find a reliable source that specifically states due dates when processing AOS DV 2010 while residing in the USA. So I want to get a sense of when people under these circumstances have filed for AOS.

2.) I did my medical and biometrics in June 2007 (when filing for AOS through petition for alien worker). Do I have to do them again? Can I resuse the same forms (I-693 and G-325A)?

3.) When filing I-485, do I have to pay the additional fee for I-765 and I-131 (employment authorization and Advance parole, respectively)?

These are the main questions I have and I would really appreciate it if anyone could offer insight on my concerns.

I wish everyone in this forum good luck and hope you win it this year!

Thanks very much,

Jaime
 
Could you clarify which filing you are talking about? If it is the initial forms you received in the notification letter, you have to do that immediately. After that, you then wait for your number to become current before you send your package.

Hi drMBA,

I did not file anything yet, I got the letter from Kentucky in my apt in CA in mid-April. Then I went to the field office here and they told me to file everything (notification letter, I-485, bio, medical, EAD, travel docs) on 10/1/09. The kentucky notification letter has a number that is below the 500 range. Do you mean that I have to send this barcode (number) to the Kentucky Consular Office (KCC)? Since this will not be consular processing, and there are no instructions included in the package for aliens residing in the USA, I can only rely on the field officer. But if you have more information please share. I appreciate your response.

Thank you,

Jaime

Does your case number start with EU? Did you receive your NL inside Turkey?
 
Tazmania said:

Think you have do do it again.


No.

Hi Tazmania,

I goit my NL in USA and my number starts with SA (I guess it's South America, I'm from Bolivia) and the digits are in the 500 range. My concern is timing and when (the earliest) I can file while residing in USA. I don't think I can follow consular processing instructions. I have not yet taken any action.

Thanks,

Jaime
 
1)You need to send DSP-122 and the barcode sheet now to KCC for AOS. This notifies them you want to do AOS.
2)Then wait for your number to become current in the visa bulletin

Also go through the DV 2009 AOS only thread that I have pasted below. This is the thread for those who go through the DV process in the US. I'm sure that would really help you and answer any other questions you may have.

Hi jlaw,
Your case is around 500 so it is very low one. You will get your green card.:)
do AOS instead of CP.
Good luck:)
 
Belizean 2010 AOS while in the U.S

I had the similar situation.

I went to NYC field office, they told me to wait for my number to be current. I did not want to wait till october to send in my DS paper work and barcode to KCC, so i called them. Kcc told me to fill out everything and follow their instructions and indicate 'BCIS' if i was planning to adjust here in the U.S. They will contact me when I can adjust in the U.S, that is when my number is current. they will also tell me where to go, what feild office has my case etc.

You might have to do biometrics again, I read that your biometrics must be taken 3 months before interviews and that they can 'expire' (LOL)

I believe you dont have to pay for EAD and AP if you file them along with your AOS, they are included in the fee- so we might as well take advantage of what we are paying for!

I hope i helped.
P.S immihelp.org is very informative!

Hi all,

I received NL for DV2010 and my case number is EU37XX. I am on OPT and it will expire on Sept 14, 2009. I would like to do AOS, since I am working here, also my H1-B petition was approved. I am not sure how my situation will affect my AOS application as I need to switch from OPT to H1-b on October 1st. What happens if your status changes, as in my case from OPT to H1-B, while you are also applying for AOS from OPT to greencard. Does this create conflict and confusion? What do you recommend me to do?

Thanks.

Congratulations, bordertin! Just curious: when did you receive your NL? Also, you've received it in the States, right? I'd appreciate your answer.
