DV 2017 AOS Only

at first, thank you so much for your very useful forum.
I have been selected for lottery 2017 and I am living in USA.I have some question.
1. I am F2 visa holder. for financial support ,bank statement from our joint account (me and my husband's name are in common bank account) will be acceptable for USCIS ?or should I have separate account without my husband's name ?(i am principle and my husband is spouse.)
2.in addition to translated documents, should we have our original marriage certification for interview ? it is not in English language .
3.how long medical exam will be valid ? I heard about 6 months, is that true ?my case number is AS0000036xx , now can i do medical exam without being worry about expiration of medical exam's validity to the interview?

1. Joint account is acceptable.

2. Yes

3. Medical is technically valid for 6 months. It is better to do it a couple of weeks before sending in the AOS package. You'll have to make the call on your own as to when you want to get it done.
 
Hi,

In the instructions for I-485, they instruct to leave the space blank if an item is not applicable, but in the I-485 form itself they says to write "none". What should I actually do?

Follow the instructions on the form itself.
 
Hi again,

I am gathering the documents needed for AOS package these days so I am having lot of questions. Since I am on F1 visa I think I need to file for I-864 (Affidavit of Support). I have my sister and her family here in US, so I guess my Brother-In-Law whose is on H1 visa can file it for me (I don't have any relatives who has PR here). Form I-864 is little confusing for me. In part 1, which option should I choose. Is it the first option which says;

1.a. I am the petitioner. I filed or am filing for the immigration of my relative.

If you're not going to use the AOS process spreadsheet to guide you, and would rather keep bouncing back and forth, I'm basically not going to answer any of your questions again.

omg. It's form I-134. I don't know where on earth I ended up with a form I-864. I am really sorry. :oops:
 
Hi,

I moved to new address after the initial DV lottery entry. Now, my address is different to the one in selection confirmation letter (1NL). What should I do to change the address?

Thanks

Nothing. Makes no difference to the process.
 
Hi, as I told before we have asylee case and my husband's passport expired and he can't renew it. May it cause a problem for him ?
 
Hello,

I'm currently in the States on a multi-entry H1B visa. Will traveling abroad for a couple of weeks have any effect on the AOS process, if my travel takes place one or two months before my case becomes current? Also, should i consider sending my application before or after traveling, or there's no difference?

Thanks!

1. Traveling out of the US before sending in the AOS package will not affect the AOS petition when it eventually gets sent in. Traveling after the AOS package also shouldn't have an impact on your petition, you're on a H1B visa which is a dual intent visa.

2. Your call on when to send in the package, and see 1 above.

Against advice, I sent my application in via Fedex today - I imagine I'm the first. I'll keep everyone updated on the process.

Good luck. Yeah please let us know how it is going. I see a reduction in numbers in the October visa bulletin than that of last year. Was hoping to be current on May and now it seems like I'll have to wait till July :/

I felt the same when I saw the numbers for this year... I was hoping to get my number current in November. Now, I'm thinking that maybe December or even January... :(
