I just won a lottery Visa. The DV Program 2004

I have I-485 pending

The following are my information
File Religious I-360 file February 2001
Approved Religious I-360 file July 2002

Finger Printed October 25, 2002
EAD Approved November 15, 2002
AP Approved November 14, 2002
Married February 1st while I-485 is pending
I applied for Filled (I-824 Pending): Follow-To-Join April 2003

My question can I apply for the Lottery Diversified Visa? Will that speed up my green and wife joining me soon?
 
not right now

you have to wait until the start of fiscal year 2004 (Sep. 2003) to file your application. If you go with AOS, you may have to wait further until your number becomes current. Waht is your region and number?

I have "A" already

"What is your region and number?"
West Africa
#04AFXXX103
 
may try CP

It is not recommended that you file two AOS with INS. That may confuse them. Your number is pretty low, if you choose CP, you should have interview in Sep.

Hi: you have a very low number. you will get your visa sealed on your passport in october this year.
AOS: adjustment of status (form I-485)
CP: councelor processing (you do this at your home country. you can chose to do the AOS or CP . I think you will not confuse BCIS with two AOS applications as long as they are two catagories (your case is one in religious and second in DV) . However I am not an expert in that area. your DV case will be approved fast as long as you have not violated your status in USA.
Congradulations. On october 1st go to your local INS (now BCIS) office and submit your letter and ask what to do. It is pretty easy. First you need to tell KCC that you are doing AOS by filling DSP122 form and paying $100.00 each for any one applying with you.
DV will definetely speed up your green card. Is your wife in west africa or in USA? if she is in west affrica, call KCC immediately and ask help. The KCC number is given at the bottom in the Yellow sheet you got from them. Do it fast and your wife will join you in november or so.
You mentioned that your winning number is 04AFXXX103. what is XXX? are they 000? if so you have a very high chance to do either AOS or CP. Hope this will help.
Any questions?

I will look for some historical data for AF in 2002. However, you can not get a green card using this case number. I am pretty sure about that. You may want to call KCC (the tel number is at the bottom of your letter) and ask them what you should do. I can only tell you what I know. KCC may know more than me.
Good luck.

I looked at some 2002 case numbers. Your case was current in August and September that year. may be KCC ran out of visa by that time.
You can check these info at
http://www.travel.state.gov/ivstats.html

However you will NEVER get a GC based on your old case number. I am very sorry for that. You may want to call KCC and verify this information. Good luck.

Won a 2004 DV from Africa region leaving in U.S.
KCC told me told to contact my local INS. Meanwhile, I have already filled and sent form DSP122 as suggested.
When do I pay the $100.00. fees for my wife and I.

I have written to my INS local office three weeks ago but have not heard from them. Do I have to go there personally? It is about five hours from where I live. I have opted to go with the DV. Program. Or do I wait until hear I from them?

Your case is DV 2004. INS will not do anything intil October 01st 2003 for DV 2004 cases. They are doing DV 2003 cases until October 01st. I don't think you have to go there. Have all the forms filled and file them on October 01st. Good Luck.
