DV 2018 AOS Only

Hi Mom,
A guy with his family in contacting with me during the recent time because he is under pending asylum status got approval on spot based on DV from Chicago office.
Very happy for them.
This is to confirm that the general USCIS federal laws are not followed by all offices in US like fairfax, VA FO.

Yes that is possible. Congratulations on the approval.
Wow... Thanks Mom!
My reaction will sound stupid.. because it is hard to believe...
Does it mean that this is our final approval for green card? should we expect any more actions before we will receive the card by mail?

The IOs have the liberty of loosely or tightly interpreting immigration laws when the petition is not a straight forward one. They are allowed to use the discretion in doing so.

I understand the feeling on disbelief at this point - it’s actually not over until you receive the GC itself. Anything is possible until then.

Agree, they prefer loosely interpreing those laws to meet thier directiin, at the end, it is not about the laws, it is about direction.
 
I saw someone post here , the officer expediate name check two weeks ago and he gets his card. Mine same his situation but they told me is still early. So I think it depends on the office who handle paperwork to help U or not. Good luck everyone.
 
Hi Mom,

1) If one gets divorced post receiving a green card, there are no repercussions in regards to keeping the green card, correct (DV winner + dependent)?

Thanks

Are u going to get divorced? I remember you get married after your wife green card lottery. I hope you don’t do it.
To answer your question, I saw Britsimon write in his blog that you can keep your GC without any problem.

Each person gets to keep their our GC independent of each other. However, expect to be closely scrutinized when you apply for naturalization. The onus will be on you both to prove you didn’t simply stayed together for the purpose of getting your GC.

But you marry your wife after you know that she won DV 2018 and then after interview and then getting GC, you are going to separate. This make me think you have different purpose of marriage. Good luck bro
