You have to put in NO.

Sorry for your loss, you and your husband shoulder each other like you have. God Bless!

Nice! Congrats!

Took me almost 5 weeks. Just gotta wait, nothing you can do.

I beg to differ, I have noticed quite a few cases here where walk-in biometrics speeds up the process because for those cases they ended up getting their interview appointment letter before their actual bio appointments happened. Also for those who got their congressmen involved to speed up the EAD process, they had to prove that they had already done the biometrics. So I think it does have an effect to an extent. But if the local office is very backed up, my guess is that it doesn't matter then.

NBC isn't a ad thing, applications are processed there before being sent to the local USCIS office or CSC.

Too bad i forgot to include the form for text messages with the package.

You can fix that by Registering here, then add your case numbers and select to receive e-mail/text updates.

Just got my biometrics letter. Appointment is scheduled for Jul 15th but I will try to walk in on Friday.

Got my biometrics appointment notice in the mail today set for July 22, but thinking of going in next week to get it done as a walk in. Excited!! But confused as to why I am not getting emails/text messages about anything. I made a USCIS account for my case status and turned email and text message notification on and still nothing. Weird. Anyone else having this problem? Oh well, at least I got my biometrics letter. I hope I get my EAD in the next two months..I really need to start working!

Yeah NBC and CSC are not the same thing.

My guess, and it is only a guess, is that you will not have an interview and you AOS will be processed at the NBC.

You're confusing NBC (Missouri) and CSC( California).

OP, it means you will have your interview at your local office.

There seems to be a fair bit of misperception here. The only stipulation in US law regarding the diversity visa lottery is that it has to be random (which it was). There's also no way of knowing that the way applicants were selected disenfranchised those who didn't apply in the first few days - the sample may simply have come out that way randomly.

Regardless, there has been a lack of a clear explanation by the Department of State and no clarity on how the original 22,000 will be affected in future - i.e. as they showed 'intent to immigrate' they may never be allowed to visit the USA as tourists if their country isn't part of the visa waiver program.

The current class action lawsuit filed by Ken White against the Department of State will hopefully clear this up.

It's is unfortunate that it happened, but they have clearly laid out why it happened that way. It wasn't "random" that it only included the people that applied early, if that were the case the results wouldn't have been voided. Like I said it really is unfortunate and a bit embarrassing, but there really is nothing else they can do.

Sooooo I guessed my I-765 receipt number by adding 1 to my I-485 number since the I-485 and I-130 were consecutive and it worked, so I guess I answered my own question

I didn't get a NOA for my I-765 application (hard copy). Notice that I didn't attach an extra g-1145 for my I-765 form so I wasn't expecting a text and an e-mail but I thought they would still send a hard copy? So I'm wondering if this is normal. Also if I register on their website will I be able to see it on there?

TIA.

Two checks one for $1070 and another for $420. This was as of May 20th (last time I checked), check to see what it is now on the USCIS website to see what it is because it changes all the time, NOT FORUMS.

Mine was signed within two days, but it took me a month to get my NOA. Just hang tight!

Is the job offer the only reason you gave them to help expedite you case, or was there anything else?

I have one but I'm not sure if it will help me much at all.

:-(

Doesn't hurt to try I have one as well, and I'm going to contact my congressman the day I do my biometrics and hope they're willing to expedite it.

Your Green Card serves as your EAD.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Finally got my NOA1 after a month. It's just the NOA1 but I was so freaking happy since it's been so long. I even had another packet ready to be sent just in case they returned that one

Nope... Life time ban for claims of being a USC, when you are not. No waviers.....

Ah I didn't know that; and I just checked the I-601 form and it is VERY specific that it DOES NOT include citizenship misrepresentation, so I was wrong on that.

Basically she just have to make them believe that she didn't do it intentionally, so there's still hope I would think.

Not an expert or anything but doesn't the I- 601 address this issue?

Does not say you are citizen but does replace the green card. If you have green card and receive SS #, you are asked to tear up the green card. Most of the time when you go for change of status interview you are told to bring in green card to show it destroyed in front of Immigration interviewer. There was no reason for you to apply for green card.

You are confused and confusing.

I may be in the same shoe as you. I sent my packet on May 18th and still nothing. Although it hasn't been 35 days yet (29 so far I think) I'm going to get another packet ready to go on Monday just in case they return my packet. Pretty much every filer on this site including June filers already got their notifications, that's why I'm highly concerned right now.

I haven't even received my NOA1 yet. (filed May 19th)
