congratulations.
did you receive your packet in May ?
thanks for the congratulations!
I received my packet on March 31, 2008 (it was postmarked 3/27/08) but the letter from KCC was actually dated April 1, 2008. |

Ongei-
thanks for the suggestion! If you know, what do you suggest I do to change to consular processing? On my DSP 122 I indicated that I would go with USCIS.... Do I wait until I receive notification about the interview or should I do something else ahead of time?
Also- does it make a difference that my case number is very low- 2009EU000002**? I heard that because it is so low I would almost certainly be called in the first batch of visa numbers released for Europe and that was why I should go with an adjustment of status (so as to not have to travel to my home country in order to go with consular processing)? Is this true?
thanks! |

I received notification that I had been selected for DV2009 on 3/31/2008 and I replied to KCC on 4/7/2008. I have already collected all the documents that were listed on the information packet as being necessary to proceed with the process.
I called KCC today and I was told that they do not acknowledge receipt of the material sent to them- they just forward it to either USCIS (if on the DSP122 you indicated a desire to adjust status in the United States) or the Consulate for your home country.
The agent also told me that interviews will not start before 10/1/2008 BUT to call KCC after 8/20/2008 and they would be able to give more information about the interview dates.
She also said that one can elect to change from consular processing to adjustment of status (or vice versa) later on in the process.
Does anyone know whether it is better to adjust status in the United States or whether it is better to go with the consular processing? I am currently on an H1B (set to expire at the end of 2009) and so I know that I would be eligible to leave the country and come back without having to apply for advanced parole...
any help is much appreciated! |
