DV2008--AOS only

I just received my Green Card today. Probably, you want to schedule an infopass.

Saurav , congrulations. I am really happy for you. I will wait for a couple of days. Because since I am working, it is difficult for me to leave the job, and go for an infopass. We will see what happens.
Again, congrulations.
 
saurav.110,
Did your status changed on USCIS website after the interview?
My interview was pretty similar with your on the 17th, the officer left my I-94 with her and said, "everything looks alright, you should receive the green card in 4-6 weeks, one more envelope to reach from DOS".
But since then no status change online.

Any idea?

Its ironic that you already got ur finger print done. There's someone else on here whose application got to Chicago lockbox on 3/4/08 which is a day later than yours and he didn't get his NOA until yersterday after 49 days.
Anyway, it seems like everything is working out fine for you. U should be getting your interview letter in the next few days. I can see why the guys at the USCIS office didn't want to expedite your case. I think you'll be fine. do you know if your background check has cleared?
I sent my forms to chicago lockbox more than 35 days ago and no NOA.:confused:

We don't even have the NOAs -- nor did the checks clear. All we have are case numbers we got over the phone.

I've never heard of them approving a DV applicant without an interview but I guess we can hope for that.

You could call KCC and see if they have sent your file to USCIS.

congratulations paulcase,

my interview was on Friday and i suppose the status changed Monday night after the interview. Even, bothers doesn not have his status changed yet.
There is no reason to worry, just have to wait a few more days i guess.
 
Hi, I'm currently an FI student and I applied for AOS. My case number is very high AF43XXX. Do I have a chance of getting a GC?

today the date is changed from 3/19 to 4/24 but no change in the content. what was written on the web when your case was updated on Monday after the interview?

by the way congrats for GC.
 
About biometrics; Do they send you to your local USCIS office to have that done, or can you have that done at a local FBI office? Reason for asking is my local USCIS Office is a 3 hour drive away while there is a FBI office less than a mile from my home?

They will send you an appointment letter for one of their APCs (application support centers). You can find the closest to your zip code here:

Hi Guys,,
Mine is 2008AS129XX which is going to come. I am F1 student and i have applied for AOS. Is there any chance i can switch to CP or AOS is still fine. Give me suggestion. Do you guys know how strict are counselors with AOS F1 students during interviews.

I really would advice that you go CP. Its taking them 2 months to send NOA. You can see my timeline. i still haven't received any NOA almost 7 wks since i mailed my forms. Am on f-1 too. if nothing happens by the end of may, am going CP for real.

Check cleared on day 51 or so after submission. Now have all NOAs, all cases viewable online, and have biometrics for next week.

Now we just have to wait for the interview letter. Who knows when that will show up.

AOS = bad.

I see that ur CN number is pretty highfor Asia. There have been stories of folks who worked illegal and still got their greencard thru Dv lottery adjustment of Status. if you did use your social sucurty number when u were working, u might be caught. And yes, if you are rejected visa overseas, u probably will not be coming back
