Do we have to specify the landing location? What would happen if we changed the place of landing than that specified to the embassy.
example: I intend to settle in California. However, we may stay in Ohio for a couple of days.
Thanks
Can some one claim chargeability to the country of their spouse, even though their country is eligible?
example: One was born in Egypt, whereas wife born in Morocco. Claiming wife's country for chargeability in his application.
Both couples are eligible in terms of finance and education. They will both immigrate together.
Both countries are eligible and from the same region.
Has some one tried this and what was the result?
One may try this if his country of chargeability carries high number of entries, and hence to avoid being in the over limit of 7% (3500) to that country.
This may also be useful when the country, such as Egypt, is behind in current cut-off than the rest of the Africa.
Hi FrenchiC,Hi everyone!
I am a DV Lottery 2010 winner with a skyhigh number. (AF 73XXX)
I really enjoy reading about all your success stories but I was wondering if anyone else had a high CN and if they chose AOS or CP... I still haven't received anything from KCC and when I called they confirmed they received the forms but I am guessing I am not a priority at the moment!
Last year my number was current in September which doesn't leave much time for AOS!
Anyways if anyone has input on skyhigh CN and strategies, I will be glad to hear
Thanks
Thank you, Tom. I sincerely appreciate your help.
As for #1, I'm actually wondering if I should have received a confirmation that my forms in response to the 1st notification letter have arrived at the KCC. I do not expect to receive the 2nd notification letter before the case number is current. Does the KCC usually sent off a confirmation of receipt? If so, how can I check with them if they have received the forms? I honestly do not believe in postal issues. I've NEVER had a letter lost from Germany to the United States and vice versa.
As for #2, what should I expect as for a time line, assuming my case number is current in April 2010?
Thanks again.
Best,
Peter
Hi Tom,
I'm assuming that the case number will be current in April. The visa bulletin shows which numbers will be current in March, and my number was almost current in March. Hence, it's safe to assume that this number is current in April. And I'd appreciate to know what the timeline is after the case number is current - this is not about being impatient with the KCC or anything, it'll rather affect other plans not related to the visa such as travel plans.
For instance, if the case number is current in April, is it safe to believe that I'll have the interview in May, being able to travel into the U.S. in June on the visa/Green Card? Or will the process take longer?
Also, does the KCC confirm that the forms (sent in response to the 1st notification letter) have been received? I'm not talking about the 2nd notification letter. If they usually do, I'd want to check with them if they have received the forms or not.
Thank you again.
Best,
Kolja
Hello Tom,
It's great to have you ... thanks so much!
I'll contact the KCC and check if they received my documents. One more, hopefully final question from my end: Assuming that all papers are in order and no hickups come up, is it safe to assume that one gets the Green Card once the case number is current AND the interview is scheduled to happen?
Cheers!
Can anyone in this forum tell me about the visa bulletin?
The case number being current in the month is for the interview date or the second letter to arrive?
Hello Jay,
Kindly note that the visa bulletin website is only for the 2nd letter notification timing.
and the interview barely after the 2nd letter with 6 weeks.
Thanks,
~ Tom ~
