varxx said:
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!!!

Hi everyone! thanks for the great post.
I'm an F-1 student applying for AOS for DV-2013

date of expiry of F-1 is D/S
the date of expiry of my I-20 is Oct 30.
but my current course ends April 28

which one should I write on the form I-485 regarding expiry date of the visa?
thanks in advance
 
Congratulations Varxx!!!

You'll get a tracking number tomorrow evening for sure!

Varxx, you will get either text or email (or both) notification based on the notification method you selected when you registered on USCIS's website to monitor your case.

Use 'D/S' (Duration of Stay) as the visa expiration date

How do you check on tracking number on USCIS website? I registered for the case status updates today and according to you it wont serve the purpose of knowing the tracking number?

You can check on USCIS online the tracking number. An SMS won't contain it and the email probably won't either.

United1, thanks!!! Good luck with your AOS process!!! You may already know that our marriage was after winning the lottery but still IO did not ask any questions, although we prepared and took all the documents to the interview. So do not worry and just make sure to take all documents relating to your relationship. We have taken an album with 100 photos of wedding and us together on various occasions. We also took wedding cards and greetings, itineraries of past trips, joint assets documents, email conversations dating back to 4 years. My wife used to visit her home country often so I also took our 400 pages of skype conversation copied on the flash drive. You may also copy extra photos on the flash drive and take it to the interview. Letters from parents and local friends, present at the wedding, stating that the wedding is legit would also help.
One more thing one applicant, I guess DV, got RFE for not providing evaluation of some document. She went-in before us. I guess it is relating to the evaluation of high school diploma, not sure though. IO asked the applicant to mail her the document.

I-134 was not asked at the interview although we had it. IO asked for pay stubs of my wife. So it would help if you have them. I do not know your case, but should be fine if you have income above the poverty line.

One more thing, take all the documents listed on the IL. IO went through the list one by one and made sure that all the documents in the list are submitted.
 
Varxx,

What I meant was that you won't receive the tracking number by SMS or email. You will get a SMS just telling your status has changed, then you have to go online and check there. As for the email, it's almost the same you will get more information about your status from USCIS but probably your tracking number will look messed up on the email so you will also have to go online and check there at USCIS. There will be a link where you will get the status of your Green Card on USPS. After USPS picks up your Green Card it usually takes 2 to 3 days to reach you.

Thank you so much varxx,
We dated for close to 5 yrs before getting married so we have tons and tons of picture. We been in the same family plan on Verizon for close to 4 yrs now, and have car insurance and car loan together. The only part i am worried is our wedding was in court here and only his mom and my mom and brother were there. No body else knows abt it. So it would be difficult to get personal letters for me. After seeing the results for you and Pritu I am pretty confident that we wil also sail through this safely. From May 1 st our waiting time will start. I just hope to get done as soon as possible.
Cheers!!
 
I am sure you will be fine! Make an affidavit from your mom and his mom. IO sees affidavits as an evidence.

Hi Pryanik,
I got little confused here. online uscis means online status check or the personal account that you can create on UScis home page? Thanks in advance for clarification.
