Dear All,
I just want to draw overview of my way to get Green Card. A lot of fruitful discussion can be found in the thread that I established in the last year, http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=192619 under name of Winner of DV2006. Adjustment of status (F1 visa).
Several thinks I would like to mention:
First of all, there were a lot of thinks dedicated to the question of having lawyer or not. I did everything by myself based only on this forum, I am deeply agree that there is no need to pay money for preparing forms and other thinks for the adjusting of status.
Secondly, I started adjusting of status way beyond 3 months before my case number became current. Probably, if one has case number not “big”, it is really does not matter when to start sending documents.
Many people prefer to make CP instead of AOS. I would probably choose the same, but I am PhD student and I could not go at home since I had many thinks to do. AOS was the best choice for me.
Finally, I hope DV lottery will not be canceled in the nearest future. I wish very best luck to everybody who ever will decide to “play”. “If you do not bet you will never win”
Borya.
