- Thread starter Amine
- Start date
Thank you Sm1smom! Yes, you got the point.
Thank you varxx and wish you a good luck for your interview tomorrow!
Congrats pritu. I am sure it feels good to see you are done with the whole process.
Did you guys got married before DV or after DV results?
rnotk,
All the forms were filled in advance. I was there a week before to get all the shots, and do my x ray. On that day some lady went over with me with the paper work and some yes and no questions. By 5 mins i mean actual time spent by Doc on me. I was shocked too, and I asked him couple of time if everything is ohk, and he said everything looks good.
I paid around $350 too, but most of it will be covered by insurance and refunded later.

I have very similar situation with you.
I still have I-94 with me.
and in my case, it took a while but my online status was changed from "initial review" to "CPO" one day.
then after a day or so, it changed to "Decision."
This week, it changed to "CPO" and now back to "Decision" again.
well, even the interview is over, until get an actual card in my hand, it is still a waiting game. you know lol

Help with I-485, EAD and I-134
Hello Current and Future GC holders,
I really need some help here.
I am on my F1 status now. Will graduate this June. Filed for OPT.
My GC Number will be available from MAY. So I gotta send my I-485 Package this MAY 1st.
1) The problem I have is that I dont have a job, but I yet gotta show AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT I-134. HOW much money is enough to show from my US bank A/C because I wanna show that I am gonna self-support myself financially?
2) If I wanna show assets (Fixed Deposits) from a bank in my home country, how do I get those documents notarised? From a notary public there? or have someone to mail me those documents and then notarise them here in USA?
3) I have some money in US bank and some fixed deposit assets in home country. What docs like bank manager letter, fixed deposit copies, etc... Will I require to show as supporting docs with I-134?
4) Since OPT is valid for a year from the date approved, I decided NOT to go for EAD (With GC application), IS that OK?
Awaiting your Help,
Regards.

I think the amount is around $18000. I have the same problem. I don't have any sponsor here. My sponsor is back home. I think it's possible to notarize the documents here if they are official (you can do it at a bank branch). However I don't know if such documents will be sufficient.

Let me know how it goes
You sure notarising is done in BANK and NOT Notary Public in US?
You also submitting in MAY?

as far as bank statement (in your country), can you just ask them to issue the bank statement in English?
I don't think it is wise to show someone (even translator) how much money you have in your account.
but what I concern more in your case is your job situation. The similar question has been asked here before, but you can be unemployed for a limited time with OPT. Otherwise you will lose the valid status.

Do you guys think there's any chance the proposed immigration reform could affect the 2013 DV winners? Because one of the things it contains is removing the Diversity Lottery. If it does pass and if by that point it still contains that item I would assume it should only affect 2014 and up and possibly not even 2014 since the applications for it are already in. Anyone think there's any chance it could affect those of us in 2013 based on how such reforms were implemented in the past?
I dont think it will affect DV2013 or DV2014, but if the bill is passed, DV2015 might be cancelled.

Clarifications
1) The language is Not a problem because it will be in ENGLISH itself.
2) Does it matter if I dont have a job? I know it does a little but I am not sure to how much extent. I guess the minimum they expect is 125% above poverty line which would be around 18000$. I have such an amount in US.
I thought of showing fixed assets in bank from home country. Looks like I can be unemployed/unpaid for awhile. So money wise, I guess NO Job still should be OK. BUT Status wise, I can always say i am working in my Univ as a research assistant though I cannot show I get paid, but still i have a job hence my status is legal.
My concern is more with I-134 when I fill it myself to sponsor myself. I am not sure if this money is enough to convince them.

Yeah looking around I found one article that says 2013 and 2014 are safe. Still, can't get it soon enough...
huraaaaaaa.....done with the interview this morning! It went great and we were out in like 10 mins. The IO was super nice and said our case was straight forward.
IO made us take an oath before we sat down and then asked copies of my wife's (principal applicant) high school diploma original, pay stubs and the DV fee receipt. And then asked for our passports to remove the I-94's and that's it guys IO escorted us to the exit and said that after reviewing it one more time by the end of the day will approve it.
The status changed from CPO to decision at this moment. Thanks guys for all the support, we are a team
Good Luck to all who are in still in the AOS process!!!
