Does usps forward these notification letters?
Do you think the people who currently are living in my previous address might receive the NL, if I'm selected?
Or are these NL envelopes just returned back by the post office to KCC?
thank you!!
Hi guys,
I recently got a letter from KCC about my DV selection. My case number is not so good. It is in the range of 25000. More than that I have few questions that needs to be clarified if anyone of you could.
First of all, I go to college here in the US with F1 visa status. to my knowledge, there are two options I can follow, Consular services in my home country or Adjust of status. So,
1. Is it true that once I fill out my DS-230, my F1 visa will be nullified due to my intention to immigrate, even if I donot end up getting the second letter?? Because, I am worried due to my case number which is in the range of 25000, I might not even get the second letter.
2. In case, I decide to do the AOS, do you think my case number can be current by september of 2011? In it doesn't that I would be in big trouble, without my f1 visa.
3. Which options should i go with, DS 230 or AOS?
I am hoping for some suggestions
Thanks!

I received my notification letter a month ago. I live in the U.S already with my family on an F-1 visa and my wife has H-1B. My number is .....xxxx..42, people say it's a good number. (1). My question is how do i go about filing for the Green Card? (2). How much do lawyers charge as fees to do this? (3). When should the petition be filed? Thanks all. Alex
Congratulations! I think your chance of getting a gc, as well as through which process to go, depend on your region. By the way, when did you receive the letter?
dvcrazy,
answers to your q's ...
1. no, sending in your ds230 does not negate your f1 status. it will help if we know your region besides your cn.
2. depends on your cn, normally they will make all regions current by sept. to decide whether to aos or cp it depends on when your f1 expires and when you can file i485.
3. only you can decide after considering where you stand with your visa and your cn.
i suggest you read past threads ... there is a wealth of information here. i'm sure after reading you will be able to make an educated decision how to proceed next.
good luck.
Hi again,
I am Asia (tons of ppl apply each year). I went through visa bulletin of the last 3 years, This year for June the cut off for Asia is 19550, last year for July it was 30000, and year before it was 13400. I am pretty scared since mine is 25000. Do you know what "Current" mean?
I really don't know if I should to the adjustment or Consular. If I can adjust by september 2011, I won't get it. I have read stories of ppl who tried to adjust and was not successful. and ended losing their F1 too.
I got the letter posted on May 3.
As a layperson I think that your number is not that bad. I am pretty sure that it's going to get current some time soon. Don't get too nervous at this point and just keep checking upcoming visa bulletins.
By the way, why would people lose their F1 status? If your student documents are fine, you should not be deprived of your F1 status merely because you weren't able to get your gc.
So the bottom line is that you shouldn't be too much worried. Hopefully, your number gets current and you will be among the lucky ones!
Ok, I am from Asia.
I still have 3 more years in my visa expiration.
One concern I have is my CN which is around 25000. Therefore, if I cann't get the AOS within sept 2010. I will be in trouble with my F1 too.
What do you think?
dvcrazy,
you are fine with 3 years left in your visa.
2011as250000 is not too bad a cn. mine is also like yours. there are cn's in the 30xxx to 40xxx in asia. you will be current around june/july/aug in 2011. you can go aos route and will make it on time.
go for it! and good luck.
Hey leongsce,
I am sending you the link of the Bulletin for the last 5-7 years. According to it,, even this year for july, only 23500 is the cut off. Now i dont think there could be much hope for august and september.
travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_1770.html
past records also shows only once has 30000 being the cut-off at the end. So i am very doubtful.
I have read somewhere that AOS is even more time-consuming and does always end up being the right choice. I have heard of someone who could not do the adjust before september and also lost is F1. Very risky business.
I am still weighing between AOS or DS 230..
What do you think? Do you think you can adjust my september this year? By the way, are you also in F1 in the US or something else?
Thanks
Hi guys,
Your case is a bit low, my case was extremely high and I succeeded. I won the 2007 and case was almost 37000 and something. So you have good chance of being current. What you prepare is how to pass the interview and continution of your forms for visa processing. That is it. Nothing at all.
