Thank you, leongsce, for your sharing information.
Well, my CN is 300xx. It is high. I received my first NL on May 10 letter dated May 3. Sent DSP-122,DS-230, bar code, 2 passport photos, a letter for AOS, a self-sealed envelop, and a fee to KCC on May 18 on a registered mail. KCC received on May 21. KCC return payment due to my address entered DV program is different from my actaul and bank address. So, KCC could not process the cashier's check from my bank. That check was returned with a short notice of letter to pay DOS in MO in the amount of $375.00 if I intend to do AOS or pay all fees at the Embassy in my country if I do CP. I sent $375 to MO on June 11, and DOS received it on June 14. I received a registered US Postal Service Card that I sent to MO on June 17 , and received DOS ($375) receipt on June 28, stamped "PAID ON JUNE 14." I called KCC on a later date in June. An officer told me that they received my document and would process it in 3-4 weeks and instructed to me call back in six weeks. Now I'm waiting.
I'm here on F-1 visa. I will graduate from my school in December 2010 due too skipping one whole semester. Thinking of applying for OPT and find a job in a hospital soon.
By reading this thread, I see that this year winners from our region received high CN.
Wish all the luck for you! Please stay in touch and give and share with us your experience and guides!
hi kambo,
you're moving in the right direction. does your f1 visa expire after you graduate or do you have more time left on it? remember you have to keep yourself legal in status in the usa before you submit your aos application. applying for opt after graduation will be a wise thing to do. i think your number will only become current near the tail end of fy2011.
thanks for your wishes and i will stick around to help.
