DV 2012 AOS Only

jakeisstoked said:
Looking at some other posts I see people are generally waiting about a week (or sometimes less) for the KCC to send an email notification and the DOS to cash the money order? I've been waiting a week for both and have a USCIS info pass appt tomorrow morning. I should cancel that right? I won't have anything next to my case number yet and they won't be able to tell me anything new?

Can you explain your situation?
You dont have a signature! I dont know what you are talking about!

Did you send i-485 to USCIS? If not they have nothing to do with your case
It takes 3-5 weeks for DOS to cash your check
Mine took almost a month

Thanks for the specifics, yeah I cancelled. I just wasn't totally sure. Government workers in CA are extremely adept at telling you to talk to someone else. I went there once a week or so ago just for help to get started, KCC told me to go to the USCIS for help, USCIS told me to contact KCC for help. It's been fun.

Yes
That was one of my problems too!!!
Kcc was telling me to call USCIS in the same time USCIS told me told to call KCC
Here what you need to do if you are a DV-2013 winner
Send your DSP-122 and DOS fee and check visa bulletin until you become current then send your i-485 to chicago lockbox(USCIS)
Right now you dont have to do anything
Just wait
 
Evidence of Support on I-485

Hi


I am F1 visa holder studying in the US and won DV2012.
I am trying to do AOS and have a few questions.
I wanted to find out about the "Evidence of Support" on I-485

Q1. Must "Evidence of Support" be submitted "with" other documents required on I-485?

Q2. If I want to provide the evidence of support myself, how much would be reqiured from a single person in the US?

Q3. If I have a sponsor must the sponsor be
1) a relative
2) a US citizen or
3) Both of the above criteria must be satisfied.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
EsC0

Guys, I am writing to you because you are going to have interview soon.
I am worried about high school diploma.My husband is a primary applicant and he does not have original of high school diploma..He only has bachelor and master diplomas.
will you all take originals of high school diploma to the interview?
we are hoping that officer just won't ask for it during the interview :(((

We are going to take eveything we have including the high school diploma just in case if officer asks about it. I really hope that the office won't asks about it, if you have the higher education diplomas.

If you don't have the original high school diploma I would definitely take the copy of it if you have. If not then you can also obtain the copy from your school.

Hi Mohkha:

Has your USCIS online case status changed from 'Acceptance'? Mine has been stuck at 'Acceptance' for the past over 6 weeks.

Not all cases update as fast as others. I am not sure what it depends on but in my case it was on acceptance for 3 months and one day it went to card production...

Las Vegas Field Office

Hi guys,
I was wondering if any one in the forum has their case at the Las Vegas Field office?
 
Hi everyone,

I just send the AOS fee 330$ to Department of State last Monday, they got it on Tuesday. It has been 8 days, and still didn't get the receipt back. Is that normal? or where shall I call for this. It's not KCC, right?

Thanks

It might take 2 -4 weeks. I did call to check about my DOS payment after I got the stamped receipt. I just wasnt happy with the recipet as it looked very generic just a stamp and a number written with a pen.

I think i called KCC to verify, they had some notice in my file that i did do that Payment.

Anyways it will not hurt you if you call them...

Hi all

Finally my online case status sees some update. :). Thank God Almighty. The new online status is 'Decision' and details as below. Does this mean I am approved and may expect my GC any time from now? If it is approved, I am lil confused at the 'approved/denied' portion of it (red bold below). If it is approved, why do they mention 'approved/denied'? :(

"We mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision."

Congratulations! You are now officially a Permanent Resident of the US!

Do not worry about the Approved/Denied thing; it's just a formal note for everyone.

You can expect to receive your Green Card in the mail within 7 to 8 days (you will most probably receive your Welcome Notice on Monday).
