Guys the whole point of becoming current and sending the AOS package in advance is that YOU NEED TO BE CURRENT ON THE TIME OF THE INTERVIEW. becaused based on your case number, during the interview if your number is current, they aprove your case, if not, if your case number was not current when you had your interview, they don't aprove the case, that does not mean denial necesarilly , but it just delays your case till it is current.
DV 2011 AOS Only
- Thread starter lucky2011
- Start date
The thing with the lockbox is that they receive different kinds of cases, and from what I know there are only 2 lock boxes, Chicago and Dallas, so imagine how many applications they get, they still have to sort it and open it to see that you are a DV case (unless you write on the envelope,this is what I did). The fastest acceptance texts/emails we got in the first month, for those who sent the AOS package on september 30 to be delivered on october 1st, we all got acceptance in the same day and same time on October 8th around 5pm 
( I still remember as we all wrote about it on the forum )

It feels good now, but I bet once we get the cards, it will feel much better.

Welcome on the Green Side
Oh yeh, nothing compares to the feeling when you will open the envelope and see the cards with your name and an expiration date of 2021. Mine, I still remember I was shaking when I opened the mail and had tears in my eyes What a great feeling. Now its back to normal, only from time to time I remember that yea, I can do things I could not do before, like travel and not worry about the visa and the school status anymore

I am really not worried about my F1 because I finished my master's degree two years ago and I was going back home but i had to wait for my wife to finish her school. so when I got the 1st NL so we decided to stay and see what will happen. I think it's a little late for me to change from AOS to CP.
wish me luck and thanks for your responds and advice.
So do you thinks that I should include Form I-134 and my bank accounts statment from my bank in the USA and overseas bank to show that i can support my self and my wife? what is the amount i need to show them? It's me my wife and two kids(both US Citizen)?

hilalff,
Are you doing your OPT now?
About the amount, I think if you make more than $30.000 (for 4 people), you will be ok. But this is my guess.
Second, I do not think it is too late for you to change from AoS to CP.
If your number becomes current in August, there is a possibility that you could not finish the over all process if you do AoS. But you can finish with CP.
Again I am not an expert but this is what I would do.

Thanks Mista,
I am now back to school , just waisting my time with some stupid classes waiting for my number to be current. Any way i will think about CP.
Do you have any idea what to do to change from AOS to CP?
The only thing that worry me about CP is "addminstrative process" or "name check", which i know that it takes 2 or 3 month( it happened to my brother) and I wont be able to come back to the US?

You must call KCC and ask them about changing from AOS to CP. I think you need to mail them new DSP-122 form, processing of which could take up to 4-6 weeks ( may be they will expedite , I am not sure) . After which they will send you interview appointment letter by mail in your US address 4-5 weeks before your number is current. So decide soon and inform KCC as soon as possible.

Congrats and stick around so we can help others as there are still few months to go this year.
I have some questions on the medical exam, this subject was not really discussed here:
1) I went through couple of TB skin tests before and was always positive, always had XR done to clear me. I think that i'm positive on the skin test because of the BCG vaccine that i received as infant. Last time i did the Tb test, the doctor told me to stop doing the skin test and only do XR since he said i will always be positive on the skin test.
So, i told that to the doctor that did my I-693, and he agreed and just did the XR.
However, i was later reading the instructions and it seems they want a skin test or the new Interferon Gamma Release (IGRA) blood test and only later get XR to clear if tested positive before. On the form my doctor marked "Not Administered" (TST exception applies) Do you think there will be a problem and possible RFE to have me skin tested...even though i did XR and provided the report?
2) On vaccinations: I showed that i was immune (blood lab report) on Varicella, MMR and had Td shot 5 years ago. He marked all the other shots on page 4 as "Not Age Appropriate"
I was reading that last year the CDC added Rotavirus and Meningococcal as shots that are needed. But my doctor said i don't need that...What do you think about that?
Did you guys done those shots? My age group is 30-40 years old.

According to the law (by the book), you need to show High school diploma...Of course it is up to the IO and he might accept it since it will be obvious that you went through high school.
You might consider showing proof of work for 2 years...instead.
