DV 2011 AOS Only

Lipna, did you submit the application for travel documents and employment authorization? If yes, you should get them after you do your biometrics which can be already in early or mid December. So, you can visit Canada for holidays.
 
As to travelling to Canada without visa stamped in the passport, kind of risky. I know cases involving my friends (but again it depends on your native country I guess) who went to Canada to get an H1 stamp in the passport to travel to Europe. They got denied and couldn't enter the US. Though they can travel all over Europe now. If you come to the States with B or J or any other visa and change the status later in the USA, you have a lot of chances to get rejected when you go to american embassy in another country to stamp your new status.
 
No antin, I only applied for Adjustment of Status(I-485). I already have employment authorization(H1) and I was not aware of application for travel docs, I filed the application in a hurry, didn't go through all the details or I would have applied. Anyway, I will just wait and hope everything goes smooth and as natta says, Canada is there, I will go when things are settled, finger crossed :)

Hi Msodiqus7,

" You must complete payment of the Diversity Visa fee before processing your case can continue. Follow the instructions on the Adjustment of Status Fee Payment webpage. Bring the receipt that is mailed back to you to your interview at USCIS. Please include your DV case number on your cashier’s check or postal money order. The address on the receipt form should be used only for fee payment."

Please read http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/visa_4762.html

I would send it as soon as possible.

assemblying the AOS package to mail to Chicago

Hi guys,

I have a quick question. Someone had posted awhile back about how to assemble the aos package. I cant seem to locate that post as this forum has so advance. I was wondering would stapling the applications be okay? Or What should one use to keep everything together. Do you right your case number on all your documents?
Thanks

You are current in October. You could have sent your application on October 1st. I am not sure where you are in the process right now.
If you do not mind, please edit your signature and add your timeline so other forum members can provide more concrete information, and also to benefit future applicants.

Hi mzuri,

You can find the official instructions on the USCIS website.

Among other things, they do not recommend the use of heavy-duty staples or other binders that cannot be easily disassembled.
You can use ACCO fasteners, or heavy clips.
# In preparing your packet, please take note of the following:

* Do not use binders or folders that cannot be easily disassembled.
* Use ACCO fasteners to hold together thick or bulky applications or petitions. Two-hole punching the top of the material for easy placement in the file is appreciated.
* The use of tabs assist in locating items listed as attachments. The tabs should be placed on the bottom and not the side for ease in filing.
* Avoid using heavy-duty staples; instead use ACCO fasteners or heavy clips.
* Avoid submitting originals unless specifically required. Avoid submitting oversized documentation when possible.

# If you are sending more than one case in an envelope, clearly separate the cases by rubber band or clip fasteners.

You may write your case number in pencil on the side of each document, but it is not required.
