DV 2016 AOS Only

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

My case has not resolved yet (done everything and been waiting for Welcome Letter / GC for the last one month) but I feel compelled to register my tribute to a few notables on this forum. I am from Kenya and I am invoking my proud culture to speak up whenever I witness good (or evil).

The work being done by @Britsimon and @Sm1smom, with constant support from @EURO2014 and @SusieQQQ (and sevaral others) is commendable and unprecedented on social media.

These individuals have dedicated a huge chunk of their personal time to helping multitudes people from across the globe who need (often urgent) immigration advise, especially on the Diversity Visa process. It is notable that they are simultaneously keeping track of various strings on more than half a dozen pages (with numerous topics related to DV 2016 and now transitioning to DV2017, some of which are specific-country related). Britsimon is also keeping the fire burning on http://britsimonsays.com/

As many would agree, the contribution by these volunteers is sterling and there is no equal on the entire Cyberspace. You’d pay an attorney hundreds if not thousands of dollars (depending on the stage at which you sign them on) for consultation on this process (especially for Adjustment of Status, Form I-485). When I recently tried talking to a lawyer for intervention on my pending DV 2016 AOS and I walked them through the steps I had covered, they said there is nothing more they could do to help as I had "done everything that needs to be done" (and they were genuinely appreciative of the depth of information I had on the subject, thanks to you volunteers).

Nothing exemplifies your dedication more than how you steered a unique case with ONE individual in MOROCCO to success (no matter the outcome of the interview). This was one anxious person and you selflessly held his/her (@Talhicham) hand through the process. You did not even take any personal credit when he/she eventually had a breakthrough, and to you the plight of one indivdual was as important as the success of hundreds of others. (http://forums.immigration.com/threads/just-found-out-i-was-selected-last-year.332164/). I am deeply moved.

When I tried making advisory comments with my two weeks of experience on the forum a few days ago I realized I often got out of order as my insights would not match the expertise of these volunteer SUPER MODERATORS and WELL KNOWN MEMBERS.

You people are individually deserving of a PhD in “Immigration Affairs” (whichever concentration you want to choose!). THANK YOU for your global public service!

Thank you for taking the time to write that!

Thanks for the shout out and for acknowledging/appreciating the help and support we provide.
 
Dear Mom and Brit,

Eventually we have received the "welcome letters" that indicate the approval of our case. I'm not sure what exactly helped there: Ombudsman, Congressman, or just time :).
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for all the help, advise and encouragement during the whole process. Your advise was always exact, complete and very fast.

Thank you so much!!!

Mom - Not stressed at all, like I said. It is not my nature as it only clouds one's judgement.

Called USCIS Customer Service today. Went through the motions with Tier 1 representative and finally (politely) requested for Tier 2 officer. I set up a call back on the automated system and an IO called after 1 hour. Went very well. He confirmed Card Production was ordered August 31st - the day after my INFOPASS.

Cancelled my next INFOPASS appointment for Sept 08 3pm at 26 Federal Plaza NY and might be available for the next few minutes for anyone who needs it.

Hello, How you'll doing? today I called Kentucky center and they told me that they forwarded the file 1st of sep but they said that the process takes 2 weeks. What's that meaning?

Means that KCC expects it to take two weeks for your DV file to arrive at your USCIS Field Office responsible for your case from hereon out. Good luck!

Just a standard response regarding how long it takes. The case file is sent electronically, so your FO should have received it already.
 
How you'll doing? I just got txt from USCIS says: Your interview is on October 11, 2016, so what do you think guys? Its unusual that's right?
