Joe.F Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 You need to wait until your number is current. Are you sure Tajikistan is in the European numbers? It is located in Central Asia, after all. Link to comment
Gulsher Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Thanks a lot. That was really helpful. Yes I'm pretty sure that Tajikistan is in the Europe numbers. I know it's located in Asia, but all the post soviet union countries are in the Europe numbers. Here is the link that confirms it.. http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_5073.html And I have 2 questions. How long it's going to take from the day when I send my documents to the USCIS.?? How much is the fee? As I know It's probably $1070. The second notification latter that I got. I paid 440 dollars, but I dont know what was it for. It says for the AOS. Is it seperate from the fee or it include? Thanks for your help in advance. Link to comment
Alexandre Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi The Fees it is I 485 = $ 985,00 plus Biometric = $ 85,00 and if you will apply I 765 ( EAD) plus $ 100,00 I 765 it is only $ 100,00 if you apply together with I 485. Link to comment
Attorney_19 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Winners of the Diversity Visa Lottery should pay a DV winner fee to the US State Department's Kentucky Consular Center. At that time, the DV Lottery winner should identify if s/he wishes to proceed with Adjustment of Status from within the US or with Consular Processing for an immigrant visa abroad. For an applicant who wishes to proceed with I-485 Adjustment of Status (AOS), the DV Lottery winner will file the I-485 AOS application when the Visa Bulletin shows his DV Lottery winner number has been reached. At that time the applicant will pay the I-485 filing fee. Link to comment
Pokymon Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Lottery system is a fraud and Congress should abolish and allocate those visas to EB3 category. Legal people are frustrated with the way Legal Process is working. Members of Congress please remove lottery system ASAP. Thanks. Link to comment
Belle Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 "Legal people are frustrated with the way Legal Process is working." Don't forget that DV is also legal immigration. And quite honestly, this has nothing to do with EB immigration. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 The bulwark of US Immigration is Family re-unification and Diversity. Hence while one can be frustrated one cannot really hope the DV will go away. There are people who want to go back to pre 1965 Immigration rules. That is not going to happen. Link to comment
visa_sct Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 "I 765 it is only $ 100,00 if you apply together with I 485" This is not true. Fee for I-765 (EAD) is included in the I-485 ($1070). Correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment
boshyd Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Leaving aside the various reasons you couldnt get your GC earlier - why cant you use your experience and apply for EB2 eligible jobs? [This message was edited by Admin on February 07, 2011 at 12:24 PM.] Link to comment

I have 3 years education and 20 years of work experience. I did apply EB2 back in 2004 and I-140 denied. Appealed, AAO denied. I tried again with a good education evaluation and this too denied.

Belle Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I feel really, and I mean REALLY, bad for pernalguy. He is unfairly stuck in the system. However, it does not mean that DV people took a visa number from from him. The quotas are completely independent, and if you listen to politicians who are calling for "let's cancel DV quota and roll it somewhere else", they usually have a very different motive at heart - they don't want pernal guy or me or any of the DV people here. Don't get duped. Link to comment

Gulsher Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Dear All. My case is going to become CURENT in June and am'm sending my documents to the USCIS. it will take 3-6 months to have an appointment with USCIS but the last day for the DV-lottery for 2011 is 09/30/2011. My question is? If they dont make an appointment until september would I be able to here from them after september if my case is in pending? or they just dismiss my case after that date? please, very urgent. Thanks Link to comment
Joe.F Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 All DV applications that are not approved in the fiscal year are gone. A number of years back, lots of people sued them because they were very slow with processing DV I-485s. So, I think they are nowadays much faster, but still, if it gets close, it could well be that they don't have it approved by the end of the fiscal year. For high DV numbers, I always think CP is better, since the consulates don't have such a high workload and tend to be faster. Link to comment
Gulsher Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks for the information and does the I-767 and advance parole delay the processing of I-485? If yes I can send them later after an interview. Link to comment

You may want to discuss your specific case with a good immigration lawyer to come up with a good plan of action for the best outcome in the remaining time. Link to comment
Gulsher Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hey Guys, I've sent the I-485 application with all my documentation to the USCIS on May 18 th. Still havent heard back from them. Even the didnt charge me. How long its going to take? Please help Link to comment
Jignesh1972 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 It's nothing against anybody but USA laws are far better than any country so before you say anything about the laws you need to think twice. You know what I mean! They have DV lottery visa program for People who come from countries with low rate of immigration to united states. That means they want to give equal opportunity to every country. With India problem starts with our population btw I am Indian too. So do'nt think any further. I am just not against anybody. It's all about system because from India so many people immigrate to USA every year on family based and employment based immigration. We do not qualify for DV lottery program. Have you ever thought why India have backlog in granting visa. It's simple population of our country makes us to immigrate to other country not just USA also you will see almost everywhere you go you will see Indian people. So whenever you see the migration there is reason behind that. What I want to say here is why so many people migrating from India to around the world! We are also a best democratic country in the world still people are migrating it's not that we don't have freedom yes we are free country our problem start with population and ends with population. Still if you don't understand try to increase your iq level. Link to comment
