DV2014 went to USCIS but......F1 student AOS OPT

Hello,
I've selected DV2014.
I'm a student in the USA (F1 visa holder)
Since I'm here in the US, I woud like to choose the option to do AOS.
I sent an email to KCC a question like below.

"I'm physically in US as a student, i would like to do AOS.
Am I eligeble to do AOS?"

then KCC replied and told me I have to check the USCIS website and make an appointment and ask them my elidgebility.

so I went to local USCIS yesterday but they couldnt give me a solid answer that I am eligeble or not.

USCIS said "You are not eligeble yet but after October 1 2013, you will be eligeble. You have nothing to do until October 1 2013." but I think which is wrong.

From what I understand,I have to do like this

decide to do AOS
Send a form DS122 to KCC
Get a paper work to show my eligibility from USCIS.
Pay $330 to show my interest in AOS as soon as possible.
To prepare some paper works.
Then Wait until visa bulletin show my CN.

Is my understand wrong?
Could you give me a right answer?
 
DV 2014 selectee...F-1 student of OPT STEM EXTENSION

Hi we seem to be in same boat. F-1 student just started my STEM extension after my regular OPT ran out. I also went to an infopass session at my local USCIS office and it is true, until OCT 1 2013, which is when the official start date for dv2014 is, you can't really do anything about AOS.

However, you can send the forms to KCC and pay whatever fees along with the pics, at least that's what I understand. and then depending on your case number u might even wait longer before you can file I-485 and pay the AOS fee to USCIS.

Current immigration Status: F-1 student on OPT 17 month extension for STEM graduate
5/6/13 : check DV2014 entrant Status:::: Selected;)
Case # DV2014AF00027XXX
5/7/13 : infopass session with USCIS immigration officer (recommends AOS for me)
