DV 2011 AOS Only

Guys,
I am on OPT. Should I write down D/S or the expiration date of OPT on "Expires on" field on Form I-485 Page1 (Part 1) ? Please suggest.

feel, on my I-485, I wrote down the expiration date of my OPT status written on my EAD card.
 
Feel you can write "D/S- The current OPT expiration date is ..." because one can legally extend his opt if he wish so right? It is like F1 with an expiration date on I-20.

Finally!!! Congrats Natta.You have right after me,Good luck.
Thanks you guys very much, yes I feel so relieved and can spend the holidays in peace, as january 5th will come fast ( by the way exactly 3 weeks from today).
P.S. I wish Luganskman to get his letter before the holidays as well.
 
I have also received notification that our I-765 forms have been approved and EADs ordered. No interview letter yet, but I think this is a sign things are moving forward.

Congrats to all who had successful interviews so far!

Natta, are you feeling better now?


Small update; I got notification via text that my EAD was approved/CPO for EAD.
 
Hi dalerpulatopv, I saw you! I was thinking it may be you, but I was sure when they called you and I heard your last name something like daler LOL! I was sitting just behind you. I should have knocked you before, but its kinda weird asking around people "Are you the one from 2011 AOS forum :p"
Anyway, great news is the tough day ended with a smile. All wait and stress finally paid off :) Happy for you!!
Hope to see more good news coming days :)

thank you so much guys, hopefully upcoming interviews will be much easier and more successful

oh yeah, I was in suit holding case and my coat, right? I saw two Chinese guys with their lawyer, African-American couple ahead of me and a Caucasian couple near me. You were behind me with a guy right? Ok now I see, no it would be perfectly fine to ask me, I wouldn't mind. Anyways, finally we have our CPOs.

You know when my interview was finished, I went out from different exit, did you do the same thing?
 
Right! That was me with hubby! Rest of the crowd as you explained :) But it got a lot more populated after you left. CPO means card in production, right? My status still says Acceptance, no update yet, hope she really approved my case!

Yea, used different exit to leave.

Also, I did not apply for anything other than I-485, as I am already working in H1. As its holiday season, I assume, things will go a little slow. So, we just have to wait, cross our fingers and look forward for the card arrival :)

Thanks NNCU, yeah I feel so much better now, I feel relieved that we finally got the interview letters, now just waiting for the interview.

So we received my husbands AP. and to my surprise it was not an actual travel pasport, cause I've seen APs before from a friend that had asylum aproved. This one that we've got was just a piece of paper, similar, the same kind as the one that we get the NOA and the invitation for biometrics on, it has the picture in the down left corner and a place for stamp in the right corner, it came in two coppies and its valid till December 7, 2011.
P.S. for those who had interview today, did they ask for any affidavit of support or employment letter, bank account showing funds or taxes from previous years?
 
Avia, Dalerpulatov, Frenchiechs & Lipna: Come back with great news tomorrow. Wish you all good luck....

Dear Feel,
Thak you for your encouragement!

Dear Winners,

I had my interview today in NYC office. My interview was very smooth and Thank God,it was easy and a very happy time.
preview of my situation: single and current status: under the umbrella of AOS since october 10 ( my J1 internship visa expired on oct 10, 2010, i have no visa right now, no visa status, my only status is I485 in pending)

my interview was supposed to be at 10:30am. i got there at 9:45am. I had my interview at 12:30 or so. It only lasted 10 minutes. I had my interview with Raymond Wong, a very nice young immigration officer. he apologized to make me wait and said there are only two IO dealing with DV cases in this office today. he made me swear to say teh truth when we got into his office. then interview started

He asked me to show: birth certifiate, High school diploma (i showed him my masters and bachelors degree but he said he did not need it), passeport, I94, and the paid receipt, the NL1. He did not ask me much at all. I had tons of documents. I gave him some documents he did not ask for, like the notarized letter for the translation of all my documents, and barcode and NL2. I had a letter of notarization for all my translated documents (about 25 pages). he barely had a look on the birth certificate. he did not read any document at all or any translation. He looked at it in its general aspect.

You must know that he did not request me some documents that the attached letter originally mentionned. For instance, he did not ask for my I-134 affidavit of support. However, I provided the I134 form and supporting evidence when i first sent my AOS package on september. He had my entire file on his desk. He was looking at it when he was looking at the original documents. But on the attached letter i was asked to bring a birth certificate of my sponsor which I had today but he did not ask me for it. When i sent my AOS package on sept,i sent my sponsor bank statement and i also made a mistake I sent a very detailed paystub, and not a letter from my sponsor's manager explaining the nature of her position like the I134 instructions recommended. I had this letter today at the interview. But the IO did not ask anything about affidavit of support.

we had the Yes or No series of questions. he reconfirmed with me my address, where i was born, my date of birth. he wrote on a page of my passeport: "NYC 12/16/10 ISO R.Wong Sec 245, pending 485, A number, DV6 or G" am ot sure if it is a G or 6.
and that was it. he said I am gonnna go on the department of state website to ask for an available visa. You will receive a welcome notification shortly. you will receive your card in the mail in a month or so. if you dont have it in a month, please come back to see us with an infopass. thank you very much. Goodbye Sir!

Lipna and dalerpulatov, I am sorry to hear u guys had a hard interview. Only teh result matters! lets just think that u will have our Greecard soon. enjoy holidays and have some rest.

best of luck to all of you

I am in PDA for both EAD and AP. i am still in acceptance for I485. i checked only once.So i guess, it is been in acceptance since biometrics day and nothing has changed since. I dont think we should rely too much on the online update. it has wronged me a few times like that time when i appeared not to be a selectee and already received the NL1 and NL2. since that, i dont rely on online updates too much.
