u can send off ur package oct 1st. U just need ur I-20 signed by ur int'l advisor. make copies of all I-20 and travel documents(passport, I-94) and mail em together with ur forms
 
Jelica and ruxy,

You don't need a I-134. Just include a copy of your offer letter from the university (if you have one).
Good luck!
 
Thank you, vinipux.
My number will be current in December so I still have some time to prepare. I'll have my medicals done at the end of October and I'll let you know how it was.
I'm just surprised to see that some people on this forum like to open 100 subjects about the same topic :mad:. How they can help other people that want to see everything together?Anyways, I'm off-topic now...
 
I am towards the end of preparing the AOS package...

How many pictures (per each family member) do we have to include? I know that we need 2 pics for I-485 and that the EAD form requires 2 pics as well. Do I have to send four pics or two?

Also, in form I-485, what am I suppose to write in Part 2 - Application type? I put 'h' - other basis and said I am DV-2008 winner. is that correct?

What should I write in Part 3 - C (present and past membership ...)? should I state workplace, university, organizations I was part of?

Thanks for your help!

Hi singh2008,
There is no due date for the DV fee. But you need to have the receipt in the package that you mail to USCIS so...pay it whenever you want before your number becomes current (I didn't pay yet, I plan to do it at the end of this month). Hope this helps.

Enrollment letter
taxes for 2006(I had OPT)

I cannot get a sponsor (I don't even know how to do that) :( so no I-134 for me.

Maybe you can get a friend to fill one out for you?! There's really no risk involved for the sponsor.It's just a formality. Instead of the I-134 you could show your bank statements, or maybe you can get an employment letter. Anyway, I don't believe it is that important to have an I-134, since we are here on F1.

Did it take anyone this long? Am I to call them aned find out? I know they have received it because I checked the status online.
Please what should I do?

US department of state,
Diversity visa program.

pittsburgh, pa 15262???

I sent the check to this address (KCC)
I called the number that is on the first package so solve some issues related to the payment... Dont make the mistake I did - add to the cashier check your name and case number...
 
PTA - what does the receipt looks like?
I got a copy of the page I sent them (my contact info and case number) with a stamp saying - Paid / date.
Did you get something else in addition to that?
