Interview update (case OC3XX):

I went for my interview this morning at the Houston FO and the experience took about 45 minutes in total.

The immigration officer was nice and went through my documentation and started off asking for some missing documentation that he requested for the interview - more specifically, my education qualifications because I forgot to include it in the package and current medicals because he received it more than the 60 days from when the application was filed (so word of advice to applicants is to delay your medicals until you have an interview date!).

At the end of the process, he said everything had looked good and he needed to check with the state department for a visa number before formally approving the application. He told me to expect an approval in the afternoon and sent me home with a letter of continuance. I've just checked a few moments ago and my green card has been ordered for production!

So you had to get another medical done after you got your interview letter? (Congrats BTW!)

For those of you that have gotten the call back from USCIS/Tier 2 agent... is the phone number they called you from the one they mention, some 202-838-2200?
I have been getting calls from a number I don't know (I was in class and couldn't pick up, when I call back says the number is disconnected) and I worry it might be them.

When you requested for tier 2 agent via a tier 1 ..they specifically mention you to expect a call from 202 number . If you missed both the calls you will have to request again via a tier 1 and wait from the same amount of time.

How soon do they call back if you miss the 1st call? Thanks.
 
Update
Bio done today at Salinas CA ASC. 8AM appointment, 7th and 8th of the hour. Three staff working with two simultaneous operations. We were done by 8:45. Actual fingerprinting and photo took less than 10 minutes. No problems overall. At the end, we were told to wait for responses from USCIS and if we don't hear from them for 3 to 6 months, we should give them a call. When I told that we don't have 3 months to wait because it's DV case, I just got a non-response response.

We tried walk-in last Tuesday morning but were denied again. The different lady helped us and even asked the supervisor but the answer was no.
Today during our visit, we overheard someone trying walk-in and appeared to have succeeded. The reasoning being the scheduled day is busier and today less so according to their conversation.

We have not yet received the interview notice.

5/12 Lockbox
6/10 NOA letter
6/18 Bio letter
7/12 Bio schedule

The number I got the call from is a number I DID NOT KNOW. The USCIS number I know, so I just wanted to make sure they wouldn’t call from another one, that the one they provide is the only one they use.
The calls (four in total) have been from a 503 number from Oregon. So I just wanted to be sure.

Congrats on your approval!

could you please share with us the medical issue? Was it mentioned in your interview letter? (Like bringing an updated medical)
 
Hi, I am trying to confirm that what I received back from KCC was my receipt for the DV Application fee ($300*3). The attached (redacted) letter is all I received back in my stamped self addressed envelope. I have emailed KCC with this question, but have not received a response to date.
I am looking to submit my I-485, but want to make sure that I am not missing the receipt which may lead to a delay.
Thanks in advance.

Congratulations!!
 
Hey guys, so USCIS reopened my case but now they sent me a letter "request for evidence". They are requesting police records from each town in the United States that have have lived in more than 6 months and all other countries where I have lived more than 1 year.
Why would they ask me for this? As I understand that is only required for dv-winners that are doing consular processing?
I have never been arrested, not even a speeding ticket in the U.S or any other countries. I feel like it's a weird requset and how will I get all of those record in time :(

I don't know what Mom will say about this, but in my opinion, even though it is going to be hard, this is your only (second) chance to get your case approved. Do your best to gather those documents and respond to the RFE.
 
hello everyone, can someone provide me tips on how to get to tier 1. I have tried calling USCIS but their automated voice wont let me through to a human representative. Thank you.
