hi
Though is ur number high, so is mine. I chose AOS because I do not want to risk my current F1 status by going back to Nepal. Now, doing AOS you must follow these step.
1. after u get ur winning letter, contact USCIS and ask if u can apply for AOS or adjustment of status.
2. If USCIS sends u a letter stating that u can Apply for AOS, than u have to move forward. Otherwise, if they say that u cannot apply for AOS than u have to either go to NEpal to do CP or counselor processing. This might happen, if u have violated ur status while staying In US, probalby unauthorized offcampus job etc.
3. Now start AOS by looking at VISA BULLETIN which comes every month and let u know when should you file your AOS. An AOS packet contains your I485, birth cerificate, medical document, other documents, $1030, Ur DV fee Receipt ETC.
4. So, before your number becomes current, send $375 to department of state as DV fee and they will send u a receipt which u have to send while filing I485, AOS packet to Chigago lockbox.
5. Also, do medical tests by USCIS certified doctors.
6. Now, after your number becomes current send your AOS packet to chcago.
7. Then, They will contact u to do finger print or Biomentric test. Probably they will perform FBI check , backgroung check etc.
8. After everything is done. U will get your intervew date.
so that's how AOS works, it took me a lot of hardworks to understand this simple process. But, correct me if i am wrong.
My only suggestion is DO NOT HIRE A LAWYER AS THESE THINGS CAN BE DONE BY URSELF, IT's no big deal.
Ur luck has made u a lottery winner and probably a greencard.
and, if ur number is really high, do not be afraid to do AOS, as it's a matter of $2000. u can earn it in a month, but returning to Nepal might be worse.................JUST A THOUGHT!
BEST OF LUCK!!!!

Hi
I had an interview this week and unfortunately we had some problems. I would like to list it out here, if it would be helpful for you.
Documents
Problem 1. I had told you guys that they had asked for original citizenship certificate. But during the document processing, they asked for the translation of the certificate. As we had not prepared it (because it was not written necessary anywhere and when they had asked to bring the certificate during interview, they had not said it). However, it turned out that I wrote on a slip of a paper the translation of the certificate for me and my wife and it seems they were satisfied with it.
Problem 2. They asked for the original marriage certificate. This was a blunder on our part. We never realized that since we had the English marriage certificate, Nepali certificate was necessary.
Problem 3. They asked for the certificate of birth for my kid which was supposed to be obtained from the city office where he/she was born. Regarding birth certificates, we had taken the original birth certificate from the hospital, but they were not satisfied with it.
About Interview
The counselor did not asked anything really important. I want to believe that he was satisfied by whatever my documents were. He asked, how long was I in Japan, where I studied, what I studied and how long am I working for my current company. He also asked what I plan to do in US. I told him I will search for jobs in IT field, and also I will negotiate with my company to transfer me to its subsidiaries in US. He asked, if that is possible. I said "I can try and I am pretty optimistic about it" .
Then he asked us to sign the DS forms, take the oath and then told us to submit the other necessary documents (i.e. of 2 and 3). Because I have to go outside of Japan for 2 weeks, I asked him, "can I send my documents after 2 weeks and can I get my passport back". He told me, "there is no problem with it, but finish your processing within this month. Because there is no guarantee if it takes more than a month, there would be visa numbers available for you"
So, the status now is
I have asked for the documents for my kid to the city office where he/she was born (we are living in a different city now). I am going to submit my papers and passport after I am back to Japan which is at the end of this month.
So my situation is, I think (would like to believe) I will get the visa after I submit my documents, but have to live in sad anxious hell and full of uncertanities till I get the final answer.
What you guys think about the scenario above? It would be a great moral help if you guys offer your view. And if you need any more information on documents/interview and etc please contact.
Regards

Thanks Garyloves for the moral boost up.
I would like to believe that I am done! Btw, the oath is for saying that whatever I have written in DS is correct and sign also proves that, so that does not have anything to do with the result. Because they make you do that in the first place.
Btw, have you got your second letter?

Don't worry too much Sagamihara_boy. I believe you are done. it is only the matter of painful three week time. One of my friend in 2005 experienced the same problem however she got her visa one week after she had submitted her marriage certificate (in nepali).
Second letter not yet arrived. Eagerly waiting though...
