DV 2017 AOS Only

Hi Mom,
I have another question on the i-134. Is it required to add a copy of sponsor's greencard or passport as gov't I.D or it could just be any official gov't I.D like driver's license?

Thanks

Truly glad to have been of help, and I commend your patience through the entire process. Best of luck with your new status.
 
I received a call from an IO today to schedule my interview on phone. Is it normal since I did not receive any IL in my mail yet? I did ask about the letter and she said it will be mailed to me but even if I don't receive it I should make it to the interview on the said date. Did anyone have such experience?
 
Hi mom,

As I mentioned before a few times, I marked a wrong box in I-485 in part 2 (I should have checked h for myself and b for my sons, but instead, I checked d for all of us.) Since January, an officer in INFOPASS told me that my FBI check was done.
After that, I went to INFOPASS again a couple of times because I had not received an interview letter yet. Still no letter.
I thought the mistake I made on part 2 was the reason why this was taking too long. In 22nd of March, I went to INFOPASS to inquire about it, and an officer made a request for me letting them know about the error in my case.
Today, when I checked my case status online, (very surprised that it was been updated) it said that my case was transferring to an asylum office in April 1st.
I am really shocked, and going mad. I don't know what to do. Every time I went to INFOPASS, they told me to be patient, and now I feel like there is no time left. It has been exactly 11 months since I am under a lot of stress. I do not understand and cannot believe the officer in Nebraska Center (I do not want to mention his name) because I included letters about the DV lottery and I filed it correctly except for the mistake on part 2. How can he missed it? How did he not understand that the case was based on DV lottery?
INFOPASS officers do not give me truthful answers. How am I suppose to get my case out of asylum? Please, I am really desperate, anyone who knows should I do next, let me know. Please be honest, is there still any hope getting a green card? Or is it better to give up that hope now?

Thank you

Yep, this is not unusual. Some IOs do that, so be sure to show up for the interview like she said. Even if the IL never doesn't show up before the appointment, be sure you take everything related to your case to the interview.

You need to pay another visit to your FO and calmly explain your situation and everything you've to date to whichever IO you get to speak with. If you don't feel satisfied with the response from the IO, you can politely request to speak with a supervisor. Request to know why your DV case file got transferred to the asylum office in spite of the numerous attempts you made to rectify the error on your filing criteria.

The DV2017 FY only started in Oct 2016, which technically is 6 months ago, and not 11 months. There's still about 6 months left, you can keep pursuing the case or you can give up all hope now. Your call.
 
Here is a very interesting encounter with my field office that I would like to share with you:

4 Weeks ago I had my first InfoPass at my Field Office (I did biometrics in the first week of February and figured to check where they are at with my application). At that InfoPass the officer told me that they had all the necessary information to schedule my interview (They also told me that my background check had cleared on February 17th). So I left, hoping that I would have an interview letter in the mail soon.

Today I had my 2nd InfoPass scheduled to see how things are going at the field Office. The officer told me this time that KCC needs to send over the Visa (Which is wrong, because KCC doesn't send a Visa, they just send my file IF REQUESTED). So before I left, the officer insured me that "they" are on the phone with KCC right now and requesting the file and that I simply need to wait for the interview letter at this point. I was confused at this point (and frustrated) and so I called up KCC in the parking lot. A very nice lady answered the phone and told me that the officers did not know what they are talking about (KCC sends file not Visa) and check this: THEY DID NOT REQUEST THE FILE! (Even though they just told me that they were on the phone with KCC 20 minutes ago).

The lady from KCC said to ask me to go back into the Field Office and ask to talk to a supervisor. I did. The officer said that she was on the phone with the people on the 3rd floor and that she would get back to me in a few minutes. After about TWO HOURS and checking on the lady every 30 minutes, FINALLY a officer who seemed to know more talked to me and told me that they requested the file and it is on the way from KCC to the Field Office. I thanked him and was told to wait till they finished the case and send me an interview letter.

A couple hours after the InfoPass I called KCC again (just to make sure they REALLY requested it this time) and sure enough they finally requested it (Which they could have done 1.5 months ago after my background check was cleared).

I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR LOCAL FIELD OFFICE. MINE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT TELL ME THE TRUTH AND IF I DID NOT CALL KCC TO CONFIRM THE REQUEST OF MY FILE BY THE FIELD OFFICE, I MIGHT HAVE HAD TO WAIT MONTHS BEFORE THEY REQUEST IT (IF EVER).

Thank you for this post. I scheduled a second Infopass today because I'm in the same boat with you. They have not done anything since I went almost two months ago, my file was still not requested from KCC.
 
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have been waiting for the interview date since February. This Monday I went to the FO and told them I have been waiting for the update. I also told them KCC havenot received any request for my file which they should be getting by NOW. The officer seemed like emailing to KCC but I called KCC yesterday to follow up and they told me they havenot received your request yet.
Seems like I have to go to FO again.
