Thanks man. I will give an update as soon as possible.
Hi all,
My husband is the lottery winner and we are on J visa (My husband is on J1 and me on J2) which will expire April 2015. My husband has been working for the last 9 months as a postdoc but he doesn’t have any EAD Card. I have not been working but I have the EAD Card which will expire April 2015. Our number is current now and we will send our documents very soon.
My questions are: Do we both need to apply for EAD card as well? Can my husband continue his work based on his J1 visa until he gets his green card? What happens if our green card application is unsuccessful? Can he continue his work till April 2015?
Thank you very much.

Are you subject to the 2-year home country presence requirement? In that case, you will also need a waiver to be able to adjust status. You may be already aware of that!
No. Unless he wants to switch jobs. Otherwise, it is advisable not to use the EAD card, or he wouldn't have a fall back status if things go awry.
Yes.
Yes. If you have never been out of status, it is more likely to be successful than unsuccessful.
You're welcome.
Your prediction right as always! Got the fingerprint notice today))

A pressing question:
What do you think happens if my lawyer's paralegal made a mistake and sent the DSP 122 + bar code + 2 photos + $330 Money Order to DOS all in one package?
I specifically said that DSP 122 + bar code + 2 photos go to KCC and $330 Money Order goes to DOS. FML.
So, immediately after, I have sent DSP 122 + bar code + 2 photos to KCC using overnight shipping. What do you all think is gonna happen to that KCC form that the DOS will now receive? Do they discard it or forward it to KCC?

Chances of being current and the timing I am supposed to be filing I-485 when find out I'm current?
Hi, I am new to this forum but keeping up with certain topics in the forum over the last few days. I am a DV2014 winner and planning on going the AOS route. I am currently on OPT set to expire mid July. From what I gather, my CN is rather high (2014AS00021***-UAE chargeability). My H1-B application will be filed in April. My 2 questions are:
1. What are my chances of interview/being "current" around June/July? Ballpark estimate of interview month?
2. Assuming Asia goes "Current" as a region around let's say June 15 for instance, can I file my I-485 pretty much the day I find out through Visa Bulletin that Asia has gone "current" or do I have to wait for a particular day or month even after finding out, like file in July even though I found out in mid-June?
Note: Physical has been done, DV fee has been paid and receipt received via email, H-1B (in process), all forms translated and filled out
Just waiting to file. Thank you for any/all assistance and guidance in this matter!

Do you remember the sudanees thread moms? Thats why i suggested canada for CP?
If vive maroc can get a tourist visa for canada 3 months he might schedule his interview there since sudanees have their interview in egypt may ne he can in canada !?since no rules states the oposite !?
Im just trying to help hope there is a happy end for his case ......
I vaguely remember, though the detail doesn't readily come to mind at the moment and I can't dig out that thread, I'm pressed for time. So Yes, vladek, if he's able to secure a Canadian visa he could possibly do CP in Canada.

Here's my suggestion:
Do all you can to find someone in the US to fill out an I-134 for you. If you've exhausted all options and can't find anyone to do that, then go ahead and get an account verification letter from your bank back at home. Your parents can then write a separate letter and attach a sworn affidavit stating they're willing to continue to support you as indicated. This is better than not having any form of financial evidence at all.

I don't think the form will get forwarded. They may either discard it on send it back with your receipt. But no big deal whatever they do with it, you've already sent another set directly to KCC. So all is well.

1. Highly doubtful your CN will become current June/July
2. If the June VB which comes out in May shows your CN as being current in July for instance, you can file in June. If you want to push your luck a little bit, you can attempt a May filing too and if that gets rejected then you re-file in June. You don't have to wait till July to file.
Need slightly clearer idea about timing of filing I-485
Thank you for your prompt response! I really appreciate it. So just for the sake of a little more clarity on my end: According to your example, even if I find out in May (real time) that I will be current in July through the June VB, I would still have to wait until the actual month of June arrives to file? I guess the point is to file during the actual month which corresponds to the VB month indicating when one is "Current" (in our example, June), am I right? If this is accurate and continuing with our hypothetical scenario, could I pretty much file I-485 in the first week of June or would I have to wait to file until the July VB comes out before I file?
Final question: What is the approximate time it takes USCIS to let you know your I-485 has been rejected if you file early like in May in our scenario after finding out my case is "current" in June VB?

Ok, you're getting things a little bit twisted here. Technically and in the past, you could only file the month in which the VB shows you as being current. That means going by the example I gave above about the June VB coming out in May and indicating you're current in July, that means you cannot file before July 1st. When the VB bulletin for any particula month comes out, it usually shows the current number for that month and the number for the following month. So when the June VB comes out in May, it will show the CN for June and under the advance notification section, it will show the CN expected to be current in July.
So still going by this hypothetical example, if your CN falls under the July number, then you can file in June based on a memo released August 2013 instructing USCISS to accept early filing. The memo actually indicates one could file 2 months in advance but numerous applications that were filed 2 months early have been returned in the past, hence the suggestion to file 1 month early.
It could take anywhere between 2-4 weeks to get back a rejected application, certainly more than 1 week from the day the application is recieved by USCIS.
