DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

Hi all

Been long time , but still this is my favourite page , i have a question after i get my green card , can i apply for green card for my parent even if i am working outside US for now .

You're not eligible to petition your parent for a GC.
 
As far as I understand, you're effectively unable to petition anyone if you're working outside the U.S.? (Other than 'working' for the U.S. government). Don't you need to be living and working in the U.S. to meet the income required to sponsor (I'm no expert on this at all but that is what I have always understood?)
 
Thanks all ...seem that sponsor parents is not possible until i get the passport based on the link that been shared, what a disappointmnet ....anyway it is what it is .

Thanks again
 
Hi there, a quick question.
When applying for the dv 2017, for the photograph- do I wear eye specs (glasses)? I wear glasses all day long. I didn't have my glasses on for the dv 2016 photographs.
Thanks in advance, I don't want to get all hyped up about dv 2017, I think getting selected first is the main thing. its a long wait from october to may next year.

Hello,
I previously filed I-90 for my greencard since my birthday was written wrong on it and I needed it to get replaced. I have just received my new green card. In my previous greencard (which my birthday was wrong), it was written "Resident since 01/29/2015". This is the date when I entered the USA for the first time. Now on my second (replaced) green card, it is written "Resident since 12/03/2014". This is the date when I got my immigration visa in Turkey before I entered the USA.
So my question is: Is this date on my new greencard correct? Is this ok to use this as it is right now? I am currently in Turkey now. So can I use this card without any problem to come to the USA? Your answer and time is much appreciated. Thank you.

Aargh! Another error!! The good news is you can use this new card as is, not a problem. As a matter of fact, you can continue to use it without going through the stress of another replacement process if you do not wish to. You just need to keep in mind your correct "Resident Since" date which is 1/29/2015 when you file for naturalization years down the road.
 
Hi everyone,
Even though, I still don't know if the result is good or bad, I wanted to share my experience. I had DV-AOS interview on 31st of August, and IO has figured out that there was one tick missing on health examination report (nurse fault). Officer had called the hospital, but they said they can't provide the report unless the patient comes to the hospital. The other day, 1st of September, we got our corrected report from the hospital and delivered it to the office by hand. However, we couldn't learn the decision, we had to wait for letter to learn it. 2 weeks past, we had arrange Infopass, just in case, and went to the office to learn if they arrive at a decision yet. Officer, very friendly young lady, told us that she didn't know the decision at that time, but she had asked the officer who interviewed us and learned that everything looks ok, they don't need more proof/paper. She also told us that there is spot for our visa and we will receive the official decision letter soon. At the end of the conversation, she said congratulations:) Everything sounds so positive, but I still need to see that paper to be sure. If you delivered your missing document by hand, my experience may be helpful to you. I hope, I can announce the good news soon!
PS: Officer also said decisions are usually delivered on Fridays. It is Detroit Immigration office.

If I understand correctly that you handed the passport in - ceac status usually changes to "AP" before it is issued. If they said you will get the visa after AP (proper AP) was completed I'm sure it is just about to change to issued!
