But I can't do that, because my number will be current in October only. Are they gonna have updated one anytime soon?
You need not worry about the date. USCIS usually allow a few months grace time on the forms lifespan. So put the expiration of the forms out of your mind, since USCIS to date has not re-issue new forms and given guidence on new forms being in circulation
I received the welcoming letter yesterday
CONGRATULATIONS! Finally, it happened
Go out and celebrate.I'm hoping to hear some good news from badluck2!
Congrats again
Badluck, we're with you all the way! we won't leave until you get it! Then we'll ALL be happy!
FINALLY going back home
Well, I booked a flight to go home for a week, it's not long but I have not been there for 7 years!!! I'm so excited. I can finally do it without worrying about immigration
I will try to check the site from time to time and I really really really really hope that when I do, badluck, you would have received your welcome letter and changed your name to "goodluck" "Fighter" "Yahoo!!!!!" or something
I'm glad that you were able to transfer funds. I hope they won't come back with some ridiculous request now. I know you'll get it, we all did, it is now your turn! I admire your persistence and patience.
Well, I wish everyone all the best, just in case I don't check on you guys next week

I do not think this is a good idea, as the new fiscal year has not started yet. Since the case number is low, I think it is safer to wait.
We are with you all the way. Never lose hope...all is well!

Thank You
Thanks, Guys !
My SSN card also has "valid for work only with ins authorization". I'll have it changed once I receive the GC. Glistenpearls, how is the request called ? there is a special form ? (i'll have to do some research)
Badluck, we won't leave this forum now that we got the approvals. We're here for you !! So, your i-864 reached the local office, right? And money should not be a reason for denial. Did you talk to any congressional office? [They were the ones who did wonders for me.]
Maconcita, have a safe flight home !! I'd like to go sometime also. I have been thinking about it for 1/2 year now.
Winner2008, my letter came 4 days after it was issued. (but, i also got a online status update e-mail that day) You'll probably get the letter this week (if not today, Friday or Saturday)
Thanks again for all your wishes !!
Badluck2, it'll all work out. There's no reason not to. There's still time. You cannot let yourself be overwhelmed by worry or anxiety.

Hi Fjelltronen, you dont need to fill any form. Simply go to SSA office bright and early (the queue in my local office is already long one hour prior they open the door
), and bring your GC, other forms of ID (driving license) and your SSN card. The process takes about 5 minutes...and it's free. You will get your new card (with the same number) within 10 days.fjelltronen

Do I need to fill I-134, I am a H1-B holder and employed in US?
thanks.
thanks.
Quick answer is yes. There is a memo out there that mentions about using I134 for DV based cases. But a lot of misinformed officers have asked for I864 affidavits and in a lot of cases especially if you are employed, they don't even ask for any forms. We had sent in a letter from employer with salary etc., previous year's tax forms and recent pay stubs.
I know this is a long thread, but I suggest reading through the posts on this thread. You will get a good idea of the whole process, requirements etc. and links to memos etc. on this thread and will help answer most of your questions.
I appreciate all of you guys for your support and being with me on this forum till the end of this hard way. But, I can not control my stress at this time. There are only 12 business days remaining!!!!
Maconicita, enjoy your time. I know how exciting is going to be for you to visit your home after a long time.
Fjelltronen, I did not file I-864 because my sponsor still is out of country. I show USCIS the money, $ 87,500, transferred from overseas to my U.S. bank account based on their instructions on RFE (Request for Evidence). And send them the memo, linked below, that DV applicants are exempt from filing I-864. It is clearly mentioned on page 4-5.

Winner2008, congratulations and enjoy your relax time now. I don’t know if I can take a deep breath and say oh it is over soon.
DV-2009 winners, who want to do AOS. I have these advises for you.
1- Please make a copy of this memo and take with you to the interview and show that to your interviewer if they ask for I-864. Make sure there is no update to this memo. You can find it on USCIS web site if there is any update.
2- Ask your sponsor to make two original forms of I-134 for you and keep one with yourself. Or, make a certified true copy (notary officer can do that for you) of your original I-134 and take that with you to your interview. Because in my case USCIS lost my original I-134 and I had a copy of that during interview. They did not accept the copy. But certified true copy is valid as original.
Good luck every body
