DV 2014 AOS Only

If you do CP and your application is denied for whatever reason, there's the possibility of being denied re-entry into the US even with a valid/unexpired non-immigrant visa such as F1/F2. Those are non-dual intent visa. By going home to do CP, you've demonstrated immigrant intent. CBP's argument would be that you cannot come back claiming to have non-immigrant intent when you already tried to apply for a GC from abroad. That unfortunately is the possible reality of what you have to deal with, so weigh your options carefully.
Thanks a lot mom for the reply. What happens if we do aos but the country quota is reached before our interview. What will happen to f1/f2 status? Will it remain unchanged or will be revoked? Thanks as always.
 
If you're not currently on F1, your transcripts are not required, but you can have them on hand for the interview.

I have an other question guys , I will be courrent in September ,
and the end of DV 2014 will be the end of sept ,
the interview could be in the next month October .
Any visa will be available after sept ???? ,
thank u
 
I found that in some forums people are saying that they can check our immigration status upon the re-entry. So if they will find out that we applied for DV but was not successful( means we showed the immigration intent), they can deny the re-entry. That was what I feared. Now, they are also saying that if we cannot adjust the status on time (means country limit is reached) before the interview, the F-1 status is revoked. is that true? can somebody advise on this? If that's the case then,is it too risky to file i-485 in the first palace for high CN cases with F1/F2 status?

Going through the forums, what I have gathered is that you will fall back into your F1/F2 status if you fail to adjust your status (if you don't use EAD card from the AOS app.).However, you might have trouble re-entering states if you have to travel outside US in future if you are still on F1/F2 since you have shown the immigration intent by filing for AOS. I think you can also ask your DSO about this. They might have answer because they can be well-informed about these situations.

Doing AOS when you will be current in September wil not work for you my friend. September is the end of the fiscal year. There will be no visa for DV-2014 beyond 09-30-2014

Your F1/F2 status remains, it will not be revoked, assuming like dvlott wrote above, you haven't used a DV based EAD card for employment.

Also, I think you will be fine if you allow some dust to settle over this period before undertaking a trip outside of the country, if you must. And be prepared to proof you still have a strong tie to your home country.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, I think you guys will be fine.

If you're current in Sept 2014, you must be interviewed in Sept, your interview cannot take place in Oct or any month after that as the 2014 FY would be over by then.
 
Thanks a lot mom and dvlott for your valuable info.

Changing from AOS to CP...

Hi Friends,
I am thinking to change from AOS to CP due to the fact that Nepal will run out of country quota soon. Nepal has very large success rate and the case numbers are very dense so far. 40% of Asia case numbers so far are from Nepal only. As you know AOS is slower than CP and Dallas FO is specially slow this year. I am afraid even if I am current probably around July, country quota will run out before they finish processing my AOS.
Given the following facts:
a. I am in F-1 status and my wife(F-2) is the principle applicant.
b. My I-20 does not expire until Dec 2015.
c. Me and my wife have F-1/F-2 visa stamped until July 2016.

Now lets assume that, even with the CP the worst case scenario happens (i.e. the country quota still runs out before our interview).
Now my questions:
1. Does it affect the re-entry to US due to the fact that we tried to process DV case?
2. Since we are not applying for F-1 visa at that time, I assume it will not be a problem in that case. What do you guys think?

We don't want to lose this life time opportunity to get the green card and also we don't want to end up losing the chance to stay in US even without the green card:(

please advise.
Thanks

I would suggest that if you are going for CP, then let only your wife go to Nepal and do it. If possible, withdraw your application. If your wife gets green card, then you can file as a spouse and I think takes about a year. My guess is that you will be still in F1 if green card application fails, but if you do not withdraw your i-485, then you will not get F1-OPT after your graduation. Mom might shed light on this if I am wrong.

THANK YOU

Your post is on the wrong thread. This "tip" is not applicable to anyone going through AOS processing.

I wouldn't suggest him to send back only his wife for CP ! He has to go with also, and all the kids if there is (non citizen). The interview conducted with the presence of all the familly members that wants GC.

And if you're not doing AOS the "tip" is pretty useless as it is the only way to check for your 2NL anyway... It's hardly a secret :D

doesn't green card through spouse takes a lot of time? Yes, it is true that F1 student may not get their OPT after they applied for AOS because OPT is F1 benefit.
 
its for the dv lottery winners waiting for the second letter

You obviously aren't getting it.

1. Your secret "tip" is NOT applicable to those doing AOS like I wrote earlier on. Anyone doing AOS who is yet to receive the 2NL will not find anything except the 1NL, that is the original selection letter, on the ESC site. So it is NOT for all "dv lottery winners waiting for the second letter", and it is on the wrong thread!

2. Only those with current CN, (and processing CP), as indicated on the VB will find the 2NL on the ESC site.

3. It is not quite the special "tip" you're making it sound as, it's the ONLY WAY anyone processing CP will get the 2NL.
 
Comparing with doing AOS in US, does anyone (non Canadian) ever consider to do CP in CANADA?

I know this is a stupid question but just curious.
