DV 2018 AOS Only

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
Hi Yosef, just to clarify, we got married after we entered for the DV lottery, but around half a year before being notified that she won. So there was no "hidden" purpose of getting married. Thank you though.
 
Hi Mom and everyone, I know it says on @Britsimon 's blog that when OC reaches 710/720 on the CEAC data that its quota will be full. It's at 714 now and so I wondered if anyone knows if it is full yet? I'm obviously concerned as our interview is on 20th. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

Sorry, can’t help with this as I don’t do number crunching. Simon and @Xarthisius are your best source on this.
 
Hello Mom
I am a bit concerned because we are running out of time right now and still haven't received my biometrics' letter.
Is it a good idea to just walk in for that even without getting my letter?
 
Ask them to request your case file from KCC - it has the eDV registration form you submitted.

they already have my file but KCC didnt include the eDV form. the officer said she will send them email.
1- is this happend before? forgot to include it
2- do you think its simple. they will just send it by email?
3- is there any thing i can do? please advise me

thank you mom and everyone
After i finish my journy, i will share the whole story.

No one can predict when the door will close with the amount of precision you are asking for. You simply have to wait and see.
 
Thanks Mom. @Xarthisius and @Britsimon if you do have any advice on this I would so appreciate it. Thanks.
Although I don’t know the answer I’m curious as to what type of advice you are looking for? I mean, you are going to attend the interview irrespective of what anyone here says, I presume? It doesn’t make sense to do anything else.

When did you mail in your AOS package and when did you receive the NOA for it?

You can’t do a walk in without the bio letter.

1. Not that I’m aware of.
2. I don’t know.
3. You can call KCC to find out why it wasn’t included with the case file.
 
Hello,

I wanted to thank this forum and especially Mom for the help, and don't matter of the future outcome - Thank you for your help.
And just wanted to follow up with my case. I submitted my Package and had notice of acceptance on 21st of August. I was little worried and thought that I am late. However, Today, after 28 days (when hope was lost), I received an email from an Officer from Chicago Field Office.

Officer was very polite and Kindly asked me to except Thursday appointment for an interview, and told me that my Bios scheduled for the 25th. I was little surprised and happy at the same time. Officer is very knowledgeable and specified that they want to help me get an interview before 30th of September.

My website still did not update, but Officer sent me both interview and bios notices, and advised to come on Thursday at earliest convenience. I am going to start preparing for an interview by reading what this forum posted on the first page (how to go for an interview, and likely to not seem bad).

I am planning to go early morning to get there without a line. Will bring all needed documents and update later.

I was looking for the advice Simon gave me. I wondered if the 710/720 estimation was precise. I wondered if any OC applicants who may be on this forum have been told the quota is full, or if anyone had received word on that front. I’m obviously nervous as my interview is nearing the end of the year, so perhaps just a little reassurance, which I got.

That’s great. You are fortunate with the IO assigned to your case. I hope your background check clears in time though.

Best of luck!

I am fortunate, because I found this forum and without your help and other people's help in this forum I would not make it.

Thank you again. I will update later.
 
I sent my AOS package on August 22 and I received my NOA on September 4th

You realize you were taking a big gamble though when you sent in the AOS package on Aug. 22nd considering AF VB cutoff number had retrogressed and your CN was no longer current? Anyway, not much you can do at this point except keep your fingers crossed and hope for a miracle.

Alternatively, you can pay a visit to your FO and try to plead your case.
 
I realize that but I just wanted to take that gamble and see what will happen. Anyway, I will keep you update whenever something comes up.
One more thing, do I need to schedule an appointment to go to FO? Or I can just do a walk in.

Thanks

Since you’re already aware of that - you filed pretty late, your CN is not current - I don’t think there’s any point in you getting worried then. You rolled the dice prepared for the possibility of whatever outcome you get.

Scheduling an appointment is typically required in order to visit the FO. So check infopass for a time slot, but if you can’t find an available slot for the next one or two days you can attempt a walk in and hope the security guards allow you in - plead your case with them and explain the time crunch you’re facing.

I called KCC. they said the FO didnt request the file until now.
There no appoitment for infopass
and I cant reach the officer
I called customer service and explain the situation. I just feel this will not help, I need to speck to my officer
what can I do in this situation mom
