DV 2018 AOS Only

Lcky7 said:
Hello again,

Let me number my questions, so it will be easy to help me out if anyone could, please.

My DV2018 number was at EU25***, pretty high number comparing to what is there for September - 2600.

1. Do I still have a chance that EU might go up and I will get an interview or is it over in my case? I'm a little sad about low bulletin number for EU.

2. I filed DS260 AOS, while being on F1 in May, and received 2NL, I believe in June21 (Dicercity Visa Adjustment Letter).
They sent me an email and attached 2 PDF files. (1- Letter with my Case number and 2- DV Fee Paid receipt - blank). It shows that "in order to complete payment of that fee, once the USCIS has accepted your case, fill out that receipt form and mail it with check or money order."

2. The question is how much shall I pay, or where should I find that out?

3. And How do I know if USCIS has accepted my case if I only sent it to KCC. I'm a little confuse with questions 2 and 3.

4. Shall I start preparing all needed documents since I received an email from KCC 2 month ago, even though EU bulletin is only for under 2600.


I just don't want to be late for some fees and documents that I must sent.

Could you please give me an advice. I would appreciate that all.

2. Go through the AOS process spreadsheet:

3. Sending the DV administrative fee is not the same thing as submitting sending your case to USCIS. - Read the AOS process spreadsheet.

4. Read the AOS process spreadsheet.

1. Nope. Sponsor is not even required to list a single one. Investment information only needs to be listed if sponsor's annual income is not above the applicable poverty guideline level.

2a. If he/she likes
b. See 2a
c. See 1 above

No DV selectee has come back to report on being denied based on providing what is listed on the AOS process spreadsheet as supporting documents for an I-134.

Government ID for the sponsor means driver license or SSN card?

Just tumbled upon this forum, thank you very much for all your work. Quick questions, I would appreciate your answer on:
1) My CN is EU21k, and will probably be current in April based on few years back data but very scared about these years progress even though Brit's great explanation. I would appreciate your opinion about my CN becoming current forecast.
2) I am f1 and my fiance is f1, we are planning to get married here in US before our planned date which was next year. Haven't submitted DS260 yet, please clarify the following for me:
a) Is it fine to just get married legally and do DS260 now and do the ceremony and all stuff around December 2017?
b) If yes, is it appropriate or legally fine to mention or say about it to IO during the interview. (say that first we just did marriage and actual ceremony in December). Please bare in mind that we won't be living together until all these ceremony thing happens.
c) What would you suggest me do if you were in my shoes? Basically I am doing my marriage earlier than I planned, and how should I do it so I won't risk my GC opportunity.
Thank you very much in advance!

1. Sorry I have no opinion on that. I don't speculate on when CNs become current. Simon is a respected authority on that, if you're not convinced about what he said, I don't know of anyone else that can do a better job than what he already did.

2a. Getting married to enable you submit your DS260 form or waiting until Dec 2017 makes no difference since your CN isn't likely to be current then, CN submission date has no bearing on the AOS processing pace.
2b. Only answer questions asked. Don't provide unsolicited information. Getting married and not living together is likely to create doubts as to the genuineness of your marriage. Getting married now doesn't create any advantage for.
2c. See 2a & 2b.

Yes & yes.
 
I have a question in mind. I wonder why all the forms has a section for the lawyer information. How could these information help them?
I guess there should be an impact for the applicants who file with a lawyer.
What do you think?

It's just like there's a section for tax preparer information when you file your tax returns. It's at least partly because it helps protect consumers from unscrupulous or unqualified advisors who might otherwise take a fee and then just shrug their shoulders and walk away if something wrong or illegal has been filled in and the consumer has no proof of who did that. Only an authorized immigration attorney is allowed to advise in applications https://www.uscis.gov/avoid-scams/find-legal-services

Heck, even for the online change of address form for uscis there is a section for if the person filing the change of address is not the actual person.

Thank you ! Another question: Earlier I applied for TPS and have an A number but later I got selected for H1 B and did not reapply during 18 month renewal. In I 485 form there is a column to enter A number . Can I include that A number from Earlier TPS? Or TPS is totally different Status ??

I'm pretty sure that A-number is like SSN, you get one for a lifetime.
