Thanks for your reply Fiefia
Yea, it's clear to me! (I took 2 credits during summer, though). But I'd like to see if everybody with the same situation as me (F1) has the same style of Verification of Enrollment Letter? It just shows the dates (not Fall, Spring, Summer) and my status during mentioned date period, so, if the officer doesn't look at the dates carefully, he/she may conclude that I've not always been on status! That's my concern!
I think Fiefia's response was spot on! However since it seems like you're still worried about it, you don't have to include the verication letter with the package you're mailing out. But be sure to take it along to your interview when the time comes and you can present it if the IO asks for evidence of continuous status.
Truth is without that verification letter from your school, the IO is already able to tell, by checking in the system, if you've been in continuous status or not. So stop stressing about the wordings if the letter.
Thanks a lot Sm1smom for your attention,
I guess I'll attach an extra page to the Verification of Enrollment, to clarify the dates for the IO.
Hope it's sound!

Hi again!
Technically, if you are enrolled, you are by definition a full-time, simply because your university--knowing the immigration regulations--would not allow you to pursue your degree as an international student. I know that some F1 students can forget to register for the full course load and the international services office immediately sends them letters requesting to register for more credits. So don't worry, even if you wanted to be part-time, they wouldn't let you!
I would tell you the wording in my Verification of Enrollment Letter, but I am not getting mine until after the Christmas break. But I am not getting current for a couple more months

Thanks A LOT for your support Fiefia
Aria,
My suggestion is not to overdo things. If you are worried, only include your transcript. That's good enough of an evidence for continued full time status. As Sm1smom said, take the letter to the interview.
Bro, Congrats.

Thanks pal. For that I'm not holding my breath. My field office is one of the busiest ones and telling from last year's timeline it's going to take quite a few months.
Boston too had a super long wait times last few years. Based on previous year's time line, my interview was suppose to be late Mar/early Apr 2014. Look what happen this year.
So don't worry too much
Today, we got our green card in the mail. The final conclusion to our DV journey. We were expecting probably in the new year since we only received the welcome letter yesterday.
Thanks folks for all the support and advice. Wish all of you Happy Holidays and good luck on the DV.

Thanks folks.
The card came at the right moment. My daughter needs a SSN for her college application and the moment the we got today, we immediately went to the SSN office. Since it was Christmas eve, we were the only one there. It took us less than 20 mins to complete the paperwork and get out from there. The last time, it took all most 2 hours for my turn.
With the green card, you don't have to worry about status. As an entrepreneur, it is less stressful for me now, knowing that i can continue with my dreams without any worries.
Happy Holidays.

Your call. Do what you think is best for you.
A very sensible response IMO. Applicants have in the past, unknowingly, created issues for themselves either when they send in their applications or at the time of their interview by providing unsolicited documents or information. Less is more, like the saying goes.
I don't think you need to inform the company unless it makes a difference to you. Probably you need to remove the restriction on your SSN.
I don't see your name in the spreadsheet. Can you lease update for the sake of others?
