DV 2015 AOS Only

Sm1smom, can I have my father or the company I work for pay for the AOS fee( the 1070$). Or does my name must to be on the check?

Does not have to be your name on the check - I doubt they care "who" is paying the fee, as long as it's paid and your case number is on the memo line.

My spouse's AOS fee was paid through my bank cheque. They accepted it. Make sure your name/DV case number is written in the memo line.
 
UPDATE: Today I received my 2nd Letter from KCC finally after over 3 months. Just made the day :) Good Luck to them who were waiting for the 2nd Letter.
P.S. My CN is 2015AS00008XXX (which considered to be at mid to high end!!)
 
What is the purpose of Form i-131? I did not include it in my AOS package. However, since I am on OPT, I did include the i-765 and i-797.

Form I-131 (Advanced Parole) is for anyone processing AOS who thinks/has plans of traveling outside of the U.S. before their petition is adjudicated. Having an approved AP card ensures the case will not be considered abandoned if the petition travels out during the AOS process.
 
Hello there, as you all I am also a selectee of 2015 DV. This forum has been very informative to me and it’s very insightful to read the comments and suggestions from Sm1smom, britsimon and rest of the contributors.
My CN is 2015AS00008*** and likewise NEP2015AOS, finefrog and npdv15, I am from Nepal. I am currently in my OPT which is going to expire on May 2015 and my employer had already applied for my H1B. It’s not approved yet but the case is currently pending at USCIS with the RFE and my lawyer is working to answer their questions. Finger Crossed!!
In the meantime, I filed for AOS and already received the 2nd letter from KCC. Now, the question is, Am I good so far with dual case (filed for H1B as well as doing AOS)? If my H1B approves, I think I will be alright with AOS as long as I am in status but what if it declines and now all I have left is the OPT which is going to expire May 2015 just before my CN being current!! Do I have to go back to school to be in status or are there any options for a DV selectee? I am in great dilemma and don’t know how to proceed forward. Hence your inputs are highly appreciated. Thank you!

Welcome to the forum @DV2015AOS . Yes we have great experts here to help us. Wait for their reply. I hope your H1B is approved soon.I guess you can always switch back from AOS to CP ( through contacting KCC) in worst case scenario if you have to return back to Nepal because of expiration of OPT.
 
Hi wounderful guys

Egypt will be held back somewhat, so it is hard to predict with accuracy but I would guess you would be current May to July. You will need to read this thread to understand the process and make sure you take advantage of the early filing policy.
 
I will extend my M-1 visa this month, do you think it's working ? Specially after I submitted the DS-260?
Is there any way to make the adjust of states early or it should be according to the visa beultten?
I appreciate your hep

There is a process for submitting your forms early - read the spreadsheet linked from the first post in this thread.
 
Thanks but my English is not good enough to understand all of them:
But as I understand I can't file early until I see my cut number in the visa belutten? Or 2 months before?

I re-extend my M-1 student visa now, is it ok after I submitted the ds-260?
Thanks

What is the expiration date on your current M-1 visa and how long was it issued for/how long have you had it?
 
it was 6 months from the embassy and first extension for another 6 months is available until first of January 2015 but i will make the second extension for one year.

Since the DS-260 form is electronically submitted, I believe it makes it a lot easier for USCIS to track people who enter the U.S. with NIV and try extend their stay with the aim of adjusting status later on just like you're trying to do. Having said that, I can't say with certainty that your extension of stay request will or will not be granted as a result of having demonstrated immigrant intent, so you just have to give it a short and hope the request is granted.
