Thanks, I just bought my $330 money order today. Gonna get the documents ready and start mailing things off tomorrow. DV 2013 entry status starts tomorrow. Wonder if I will be lucky again so I don't have to rush through this process?
But hope my DV 2012 case can get processed before Sept 30, 2012. Waiting for immunizations records to come in - so I can bring it to the civil surgeon hopefully by end of the week. My goal is to send in AOS by end of May/early Jun. Hope DOS sends me back the receipt soon.Fingers crossed for me please! Can't believe I just found out now that I've been selected. Could've gotten a GC by now if I realized it way back in July 2011.

Aos
thanks EYW979 for the encouraging words. I hope this is true;
I called MSC(NSC) and the lady told me that the number of second letter issued to COUNSELOR PROCESSING depends upon the the number of ppl with an INTENTION TO APPLY for AOS; meaning if initially 1400 ppl have sent forms with intention of AOS, then initially they will provide 48600 Counselor Processing letter provided there are 50K(hypothetical) visa numbers available. So, she told me not to worry about visa number being exhausted for AOS and that my processing should be fine.
This is all fine, plain simple addition of numbers.
My concern is when one winner gets married or have children in between or have family members of 3-4, so even though it is just one lottery winner number they eventually UTILIZE 3-4 visa number; so every occurrence of such case eats up 2-3 extra visa number which can really affect the visa number mostly for AOS as it takes lot of time for processing. Just my concern

Congratulations!!
You have every reason to be upset with yourself. I would pinch you if you realized after Sept. 30th when there is nothing you can do about it as fiscal year is over!
What is your control number? It doesnt matter anyway because in June everyone will be current.
If I were you, I would have sent the $440 to Kentucky. In 2-3 days you will get the stamped receipt. The 2-3 days are enough to get the whole package ready including (may be) the I693. I would hold on the the faith that I will be issued before Sept. 30th than cast doubt. There are people who start processing in July and still get it! it is still APRIL my dear!
Come on now, stop reading and get to work...get your package ready! Best wishes!
Hi everyone.
I was just looking up information on DV 2013 since we are able to check entry status in a couple days and found a news discussion about DV 2012 selection error and reselection in July 2011. So out of curiosity, I went back and check my DV 2012 status. Guess what...I was selected!?! And I didn't realized it until today!! I checked my status in May/June 2011, and I wasn't selected then, so I didn't bother to keep checking. OMG! I am so upset at myself right now
Anyway, I am currently on F-1 status, do you think it is too late to start the process of adjustment of status? I heard I-485 takes a long time to process. So I don't know if I should go ahead and process the application because the case might still be pending after September 30, 2012 and I will lose the opportunity of getting a green card.
Please advice! Thank you so much
Btw, the DV adjustment of status fee I saw was $330, but seems like some are $440 in this thread. Care to explain?

normally we don't have birth certificate in my country so I translated my country's ID (myself) into English and I and my friend went to notary my friend signed it notary signed and sealed it that's all we did, there was no problem.. you do not need high school diploma, I just sent undergraduate diploma..
$330 dv fee
USCIS website says $330
Tomorrow I am:
Sending my DSP-122, 2 photos, and barcode to KCC
Sending Adjustment of Status DV fee of $330 to DOS in St Louis, MI
Does both set of documents have to be sent in legal size envelope or documents can be folded into a regular size envelope?
Got my medical exam scheduled tomorrow. Might need an extra vaccine shot!
Hope everything goes smooth from here on. Thank you guys so much for the help. I'll keep updating!

Make sure you attach a self-addressed stamped envelope with the $330 money order and DV AOS form to DOS so they can send you back the stamped receipt in that self-addressed stamped envelope.
Thanks for the reminder. How about the one to KCC? Do I need a self-addressed stamped envelope as well?

No. KCC will get back to you through email confirming their knowledge of you going for AOS.
Thanks
Thanks so much. Can't wait to mail the documents out tomorrow to KCC and DOS. Hope things go smooth from here on.
I will keep updating.

High School Diploma
Yes, you must provide proof of completed high school education even if you have a Master's degree (sounds weird but they stick to the rules strictly).

OMG Guys..What are the chances?
So I mailed out the documents to KCC and fee to DOS this afternoon. Got my medicals done.
Tried checking DV2013 results all afternoon - server's too busy.
Just checked it again, and I AM SELECTED!! <I'm going to recheck again in a few days just to make sure there's no glitch like last year>
What are the odds?
I guess if I am unable to process DV2012 in time, I still have another chance when October 2012 rolls around?
Fingers crossed I'll get through DV 2012 and not have to do the paperwork and spend the $$ again!

I really wanna go to a casino with you.
Right now I am just hoping to get my DOS receipt so I can mail out AOS in time for processing before the 2012 fiscal year ends. AOS package is in process. Waiting for family members to scan me some documents from home. When I get my GC, we can go to the casino together!
