DV 2011 AOS Only

Hello everyone and congratulations to all those who have already received their green cards. I contacted the KCC office to verify whether my file had been requested by the local office and the representative said that the file had been requested today (12/29/10) by the local office in Irving, TX. Does anyone know what steps follow after this as I have not yet received a notice for the Biometrics yet from USCIS. I would be be grateful for any information you guys can provide.
 
Hi Guys,

I just got my Biometrics done but my case status on the USCIS site still says that my case cannot be found (I searched with my MSC** number). Can any of you guys please let me know when the case status shows up as something other than "cannot be found". Thanks.

Congratulations to all of you who have received their GC's or good luck to the rest of us.

Wheetiebix, you'll just have to be patient and wait for the biometric appointment. Your GC cannot be processed without your biometric info. However, it's good that your field office already requested your file from KCC. I suspect you might receive both the bio letter and the interview letter soon, or probably the latter sooner. But right now, there's nothing you can do but wait for these letters to come in your mailbox. Or, you can schedule an infopass at your irving field office and ask about these specifically.
 
Hi JS7

Like natta said, you will have your interview and most probably they will request your file right then and after it arrives, they will give you approval without any need for any interview.
Sometimes the KCC recommends that you tell USCIS that file needs to be requested, in your case I guess you don't have time to do infopass for that. you will be like ok tho see lurker and newbies condition in the spreadsheet.

good luck :)


I called KCC today and they said that my file has not been transferred yet. I guess I'll have an interview without my file. so I want to ask is it just a matter of time after interview such that my case is approved. has anyone read anything about such cases in the past forums. is there any possibility that I have another (second) interview if sth happens to be vague about my file.

thanks
 
pbz,

has it always been like this for you? if so this is a bit odd you might wanna talk to USCIS and tell them you situation. Do you have applied only for 485? or you have other application like EAD and AP?
On the hand the USCIS case status online report has not been that accurate lately and seems like your file is the right place so my guess should not be that important.
485 case status will always be on Acceptance until after your interview which moves it directly to CPO.

hope this helps

Trust me, you will be fine. It is a relief and you will feel it soon and everybody else too. Not much changes as far as everyday life goes. As I am getting closer to the end of my study, I am looking for jobs and it is nice when you tell the employers you have a green card :) you'll see.

Good Luck

@ natta & khayat

thanks for comments. there will be at least one good thing about this kind of interview. it will be smooth as the officer does not know anything about me so she/he might not ask "hard" questions.
 
I bet it feels nice, as I know how hard it is with work permits and visas and always think about the next visa, this is such a relief. Good luck and thanks for helping out around after your process ended.

Hello to you,

My name is Titi and I am a winner of the Green Card Lottery 2011 (DV2011). Cn 2011af00090***
I am Ivorian nationality and resident in Ivory Coast.
Currently given the socio-political situation prevailing in Ivory Coast, I would like to know if I can apply to transfer my files from an interview for immigrant visa in Ghana?
On the forms that I have sent to kcc I 'd put the U.S. embassy in Ivory Coast but because of the political situation in Cote d' Ivoire I want to change my country for the interview and I like to choose the Ghana.
It possible?
And if possible what is the procedure to follow.

Thanks boyfriends!
 
Titi, call KCC at 606-526-7500 and ask them to change your embassy location and clearly explain why you wish to do so with the current situation in Ivory Coast. I'm sure they wouldn't object to it. Best of luck !

Hi khayat,

The case status has always been "cannot be found" for me on the USCIS website. I only applied for i485. I called USCIS(12/29) and the guy said that they received my application and were waiting for biometrics, which I had done(12/28) but they had not received yet. Not sure why the website doesn't show my case status but he said I could just call them to check status.

Thanks for your reply.

@pbz

to my knowledge, it's not a matter at all that the site does not show your case. the lottery website still says that I have not been selected however I have an interview next week. also the status in not updated on the website except for last stage which is "card production".
 
Well, don't worry about it then, one more thing to just try is to make an account. have you done that?

I really doubt that it would work for you but give it a try see if it does anything. Go here:
