Hi everyone, I wish everybody good luck on this onerous process and congurtulate !! I am one of the winner of DV 2011 with the case number EU 13xxx. I am in us with G4 in nonimmigrant status.I called USCIS office today and learnt that I am eligible to go by AOS but he said it takes approxitimately 9 months to 1 year to process PR. I couldn't decide if I should go by Cp or Aos? What do you think if I am safe to go by aos with this case number??? Thanks for ur help.....
thank you for your answer but when i appled for DV2011 ( Oct 2nd - Nov 30th 2009) i was single so my file at KCC indicates that i am single
i think everyone who is already in us doesn't have to contact KCC just pay the DV fee and prepare your package to send it to chicago when your number is current
that's it no need to send anything to KCC
Hi lucky 2011,
Thanks for the answer. I would like to ask several more questions
1. Based on your answer, so I don't need to pay the $375 first in order to get my 2nd letter? I thought the fee was for 2nd letter processing fee? Is it possible that after I pay the fee I do not get my 2nd letter?
2. Do you know the chance of F-1 visa holder to be approved the GC? Because we are not supposed to have immigrant intent in the first place..>.<
3. Do you know what type of questions they typically ask?
Thank you soooo muuuccchhh...

Hello umuteren,
Your case number became current in December for the 2010 Fiscal Year, you have enough time for AOS in Fiscal Year 2011. DV cases are supposed to be expedited. It is not true that it will take 9 months to 1 year to process the DV case. If you check prior years forums you will see that the average time frame is about 3 to 3.5 months (it also depends on your Field Office). The employees at the USCIS National Customer Service don't know much about DV cases. You can get very confusing information from them. Please, read the 2010 AOS Only forum, it will give you valuable information and you will learn about the AOS process from others experiences.
Good luck!
Hi, and thank you for your quick response. I live in New Jersey so my local USCIS office would be the newark office in NJ, which has not a very good score on client orientiation. At least , thats what I read on the forums. To risk it or not !! its very hard to decide... I was wondering if anybody knows more about the processing time of the dv cases in Newark office in NJ??

I am bit confused. What does 'send the $375 Visa fee to DOS not KCC' mean? There are two things:
first: in the check I need to write down the receiver of the check. who is the receiver 'U.S. Department of State' or 'Department of State' or any other?
second: to which address should i send this $375 check along with the 'Adjustment Of Status Fee Payment' form?
Thanks
