HEllo guys,
I am one of the DV-2006 winner with the number EU34XX who will apply for AOS. I live in Hartford/CT .I read your conversation and you guys scared me so much about the length of process. I am about to file my I-485 forms..medical examination ..etc. Should I file tomorrow or should I wait until November??My number became current according to the November visa Bulletin. But this AOS should be much more convenient and easy because we are already here and passed the basic requirements to enter USA. We will just fill few more forms and that should be it. I thought like this and stayed here for AOS. Otherwise I was gonna graduate end of august and was gonna go back to my country. This thing changed my whole life
Guys the thing is I wil graduate in this coming December and if I wil have the same problem like you guys having now, should I start my OPT(optional practical traning) which will give me 1 year work permission in order to keep my F_1 status??? Otherwise I will be out of status after December.Another thing bothers me is if I apply for OPT there will be two different case in the immigration service do you guys that this makes problem??
I saw that one of you guys in NEw Orleans I guess this Hurrican can also cause delay of the process times
One of you also in Chicago and I know that there are many immigrants in Chicago which will also cause delay of the process. Bigger state or city more postpone of process I guess.
I need your advice so much guys I feel so upset about these stuff and I am glad that I find somebody to share , to disccus and also listen. I will also keep you guys posted.
Moreover guys I guess I will have the same problem I just saw that my local USCIS does not accept I-485 forms I have to send them to CHicago like u guys did (((((((
Thank you so much in advance
