DV2010 Adjustment Of Status

[gdh]

Hi,

I live in the US with my wife and I was selected for DV2010. I was very happy until I stumbled upon this forum. Then I started freaking out. Since we're in the US I thought we don't have to send anything to KCC, we just have to apply for adjustment of status. Now, it looks like we need to also pay 2 x $375 for DV lottery. Do I also have to send in DSP-122 to KCC?

Any help would be appreciated.

DV-2010-Adjustment of Status

Please i need help my case .

On May 2009, I was informed that I have been selected in the Diversity Lottery-DV-2010. Based upon this selection we submitted I-485, Adjustment of Status petitions based on DV-2010 case, we have always been in legal status in the US (L-1A expires on June 2011), so we are eligible to adjust our status while in the US.But the Service erroneously denied I-485 Petition based upon an I-140 Denial (Green card based on L-1 VISA) , that I received a few month before.
On December 2007, an I-140 Petition was filed .
On March 2009, said Petition was denied.

On July 2009 I filed Form I-485, Application to register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status based on DV-2010 case.

On September 2009, the Service erroneously denied Respondent's I-485 Petition based upon an I-140 Denial.

I suppose that my attorney made a mistake and sent the documents to the wrong address:to the Lincoln, Nebraska , not according to that specified in the instructions: St. Louis, Missouri.

I need your help, what should I do in this case?... apply for Appeal to re-open the case( but denial says "The regulations do not provide the appeal for that decision" , but first of all the decision is wrong, because the denial based on error by immigration officer.), or re-file all the documents to the address provided on instruction and again to pay dues, fingerprints, health-exam (a lot of money, that I've already paid )

Please advice.

IMO you need a better lawyer. If the lawyer can't even send the package to the correct address....I can give you a referal for a couple of very good immigration lawyers but I don't know if they can help you. You have to explain your case. IMO no one else can give you the same advise as a seasonesed lawyer.

U dont need a stupid immigration attorney. read the I-485 intructions and you should be able to file the application urself.

She has a denial which is a red flag and that needs to be eliminated....that is not like any one filling out an I-485.
