DV 2013 AOS Only

I just understand that I am selected for DV 2013..
I will send my DS-0230 and DSP-122 on Monday(14.1.2013). Am I too late?? Will I still have a chance for interview? When and how I have to pay the DV fee? I'm soo upset I did't check did I win, earlier...

You still have plenty of time! Do not panic. You can pay the DV fee via the website or wait for the form in email from KCC later on. In the meantime, review previous discussions about preparing your I-485 package. Good luck!
 
I have a question for those friends who have finished their interviews. Does your interview letter asked for any specific documents?

In my letter, there is a list of routine stuff on the back of the page. Among those, it asks for I-864, Affidavit of Support. I was wondering if this is the same for everyone and whether you were asked for it during your interviews.

Thanks,

Hi Loldavas,

The required document section on my interview letter seems to be generic as well. I-864 is also listed on my letter, but I think they are really asking I-134 instead for DVers with dependents. I prepared I-134 for my spouse but it wasn't requested during the interview.
 
Hi all,

I tried to check my case through dvlottery.state.gov but couldn't get in??
I typed my confirmation number, last name, and year of birth, and Authentication characters but it didn't work.

I tried it for 4-5 times. Anyone knows whats up? I hope this doesn't mean I'm disqualified ir anything..? :(
 
Don't worry. every time they update or backup their servers this could happe (as it has happened many times before). Just wait for the weekend to pass, it will work tomorrow. If it helps to make you calm, it does not work for me either.

questions on medical examination, moving interview date, questions to expect

Hi everyone,
I am a German citizen, but currently studying in the US. I was selected for the DV-2013 and just got notified of my interview. It will be in Frankfurt, Germany.
1.) Is it possible to move it to New York? (I assume not).
2.) Is it possible to move the date to a week later? It is scheduled right during my Midterm Examination Week.
3.) Do I have to get the medical examination done in Germany by one of the 5 or 6 doctors mentioned on the Page? Could I get it done in the US?
4.) This has probably been asked multiple times already, but... what questions should I expect?

Thank you very much for your help!

Sebastian

loldavas,
Were you in F1/F2 status or sth else? Just curious since we are also applying with f1/f2 status.

Thanks.
 
Hi Sebastian,

If your interview is going to happen in Frankfurt, it means that you are going through the counselor process (CP), not adjust of status (AOS). Two different organizations are responsible for these processes. Department of State is what you are dealing with when you do CP and United states Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is what you deal with during AOS process.

This thread is mainly for those people who are doing an AOS here in the US. The process for these two choices are completely different and I am not sure how much of the hassle it is to switch from one to the other one. Specially in your case, wich the interview is already scheduled.

I think the best option for you is to try to reschedule your interview in Frankfurt. I am sure your interview letter must have some instructions concerning the time conflicts and change of the interview schedule. you can also try other threads from those people who are doing the CP process.

Good luck,

My interview is set for this coming Friday, the 18th...
On the letter, there is a specific list of documents they want me to bring with me.
I was wondering if anyone of you being on F1 visa and went through the interview could advise me of any additional documents I should take there with me?
Thanks!
 
Dear Iamsolost,

Is this list printed on the first page of your interview letter or on the back?

There are some obvious documents that you supposed to take such as : passports, I-20s, I94, Birth certificate (and translation) KCC letter, fee receipt etc.

Well, yes, I will definitely be taking those with me.
I don't have anything listed on the back. It's a single page interview letter in the format of:
"Please come to the location..."
Location
Date and time
Examining officer
Reason for appointment
"Bring this letter and the items listed below..."
[list goes on here]
"If you need a translator..."
"If you are unable to keep this appointment"
"Failure to appear..."
"This interview may be videotaped"
 
Thank you. I'm on F1 and single. I'm gathering my documents
You're welcome. The reason why they don't ask for financial documents / affidavit of support in my opinion is that if you have a valid I-20, you must have stated a person (perhaps your family) that covers your education and living expenses. So my guess would be as long as you haven't had any trouble paying your tuition and such; they already know who is responsible of financing your needs - at least until you graduate.

Oh I get it...Thank you very much
