You are not going to believe this case that I found in DV-2011 timeline. The username is eooedada.

Due to a very high CN (35xxx), they guy was to be current in Aug-11. However, he filed his I-485 in Oct-10. That's right, 10 MONTHS TOO EARLY! And his case was accepted and he got NOA and Bio appointments immediately.

Wait for this to blow your mind:

The guy got an interview for Jun-11, 2 MONTHS BEFORE BECOMING CURRENT!

How did the interview go? Wait for it...

The IO didn't mention not being current at all. He was just concerned with his financials. He set a second interview in July and APPROVED his case, and he got the CPO in July, BEFORE BECOMING CURRENT!

And that's not all. After all these shenanigans, the guy filed a follow-to-join for her GF (and now wife) and she got an interview in August! I didn't find a record of how that one went.

Hi all,

My PERM application through my employer was approved recently. The PERM expires in 6 months, so I'm now thinking to give myself until Mid-February to hear back regarding the interview letter. If I don't hear back by then I'm going to file forms I-140/I-485. I scheduled an InfoPass for next week to inquire about the interview letter. Let me know if you've got thoughts on this situation!

Thanks

What a luck!
 
Question about the DV fee.

The travel site is being redesigned so I'm not able to check the requirements on the site.

Should the DV fee for AOS be payable to DOS (Department of State). ?
In addition to my full name, should I also include my 1st NL ?

I would appreciate anyone's advice who has already gone through this. What is the processing time for the DV receipt?
 
Hello all,

My wife received the Employment Authorization Card. But it does not mention anything about the Social Security Number. My understanding is that one needs the SSN for the employment. So does she has to apply for the SSN now?

Please let me know.

Thank you

Make the check payable to the US Dept of States. There's no need to include the 1NL. There's a section on the form (you'll be using to make the payment) for providing your DV CN details in addition to your full name.

If your wife wants to get a SSN now, she will need to take the EAD card to the SSA building and apply for the SSN. The downside to applying for it now is that when the SSN is issued, it will have wordings like "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION". Then she will need to go back and request for a new card when she gets her GC (if she doesn't like seeing the restricted wordings on her SS card - some people don't bother to request for a replacement card though following the initial issue). Some simply wait for the GC before applying for the SSN since the time difference for DV based GC application is minimal. So, it's your call!

Even if his follow-to-join didn't fly, he's still a Hall of Fame material. Seriously, the guy has nerves of steel and perseverance to the limit. *Standing ovation*

Possibly yes, possibly not. In some cases the COs don't ask for proof of financial ability. However if they do ask and you cannot satisfy them, they can deny the case there and then or put you on AP while you get evidence together.

So let me ask you this. How do you expect to support yourself when you are there? How will you pay for the expenses of the visa process and then the costs of travelling there? What sort of work will you get? All of these things are important because it isn't possible to do this process with a couple of thousand dollars in your pocket. So - you need to be able to demonstrate that you have a way to avoid becoming a public charge, but if you have good answers for the questions I have asked you should be able to show that to a CO if asked.
 
Just a question

Is 2nd letter the one received in email that says "Thank you for informing us of your intention to apply for adjustment of status with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). ...."

hey guys...I wanna know what are the list of vaccinations required as part of medical examination. In the form I-693, there are bunches of vaccinations listed which I think all are not necessary. I am planning to do all the vaccination at my school which will be covered by my health plan and just need to trascribe it by the CS. That way i will save some money.

Refer to this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AozhLxh12qzYdDU3WkxHaFFtdVI4Y01oTFc3ZnZlb1E#gid=2

fiefa and mom have done an amazing job summarizing the steps.
 
Hey guys I filled my DSP-122 , DS-230 Part I and II. When I completed those forms I stated that I will be doing AOS. Since I am from Nepal and my Case # is high in 12xxx , may be I will go for CP. Can I change it now? If I do change how late can I do that because if I see that the number becomes current for August I think it will be OK. So by Jun15 ( this will be july visa bulletin that will havee advance notification for august) I look at the visa bulletin and still don;t see my number current.Will it be too late to have the case converted to CP and go for a CP processing?
 
DvPerm:

Why you want to file I-140/I-485, if you have one pending and you have still much time for interview letter? Is PERM faster in processing?
