I filled in an application and mailed. Then they replied and I mailed in the reply card. That was las year. I haven't heard anything else. Does that mean I'm registered to vote?

It varies by state, but you should check with your local government.   In some areas, you must re-register if you haven't voted in a specified amount of time.

The phone call might be to give you an update on your case. The password is to get updates also I believe. Green cards can take anywhere from 6 months to 18months depending on which state you reside. Be patient unless they told you they mailed your card and you haven't received it 30 days after. Some states will actually call you with your case updates.Good luck

No.  It should be backdated from the date you first applied.

are you referring to the DV visa lottery ?\n\nYou can not check the status. If you win you get a letter in the mail, if you don't, you don't get anything.\n\nI'm not sure what the case number is for... did you use an intermediary for the visa lottery ?

I agree with you completely.  Once the new representative is sworn in, they are your representative whether you voted for them or not.  Yesterday, some of my candidates won, some lost.  I did not vote for my governor, who it turns out will still be my governer, but she is my governor.  I am just going to hold her feet to the fire and make sure she represents me.

What?! You are waiting for over 10 years? They lost your papers long time ago. Why didn't you call them back in 1995 and asked the same question? The most people wait is about a year. They lost your papers. Or maybe you moved and didn't do the change of address thing. You need to apply again and follow up on your application by calling them every 3 months or so regarding the status of your petition/

I can't tell you when you will get a reply from INS, I can tell you that I had a similar experience.  It took over two years (AFTER my interview that I passed) before I was contacted to attend a naturalization ceremony.  I am Moroccan and was told the same thing as you, that it was the FBI check they were waiting for.  I contacted ACLU and my local representatives who made contacts with INS and FBI on my behalf.  I don't really know whether it helped or not but I did finally swear in and get my citizenship.  There is hope, but you may need to push them.  INS is all politics, so get your representatives involved.  On the other hand, if  you know you have a criminal history anywhere in the world or have been suspected of any crime, you may wait for a very long time, much longer than you have already.  \nI say, contact outside organizations that are there to help you, like ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) or a State Rep., even an attorney (make sure you get a well known Immigration attorney if you do this).  But keep your hopes up and keep up the inquiries!

It depends on what state you are in and what date the USCIS is up to.  You can contact uscis or go to www.emichoice.com

It's supposed to be random and taken from voter rolls. Sounds like you're unlucky.

USCIS is a new agency having been "sliced out" of the breakup of the old Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).  With a new agency, new rules, new people (many retired not liking the breakup), and new missions it is having difficulties keeping up with the HUGE number of people filing claims.\n\nThe "6 months to get results" is out the window.  I know people that have waited two years!\n\nNow be honest with yourself, is there something in your past that could be slowing it down?  For example an unreported criminal history?  Failure to register for the draft (if you required to do so)?  Has someone else (with or without your knowledge) used your identification (sometimes Green card holders will let friends or relatives "borrow" their card to come into the USA)?  Did your check "bounce due to insufficient funds" or some other reason?\n\nHave you been "bugging them" about your card (each time you call or write or complain your file comes out of the queue and goes into another queue.  Then it is place back in the pile at the back of the queue)?\n\nYou should have a receipt letter and your old green card so you should already be "legal."  So what is the problem?

Applied for citizenship based on what?\n\nWhat did you put in the box asking if you applied?\n\nYour story is funny, but does not sound true to me.

If you win you'll be notified by postal mail between May and July 2006. See the following information:\n\n"How Can I Find Out If I Won?\nOnly the winners will be notified by mail at the addresses listed on their applications. Winners will be sent instructions and information on fees. Being selected as a winner in the diversity visa lottery does not automatically guarantee that you will be issued a visa, even if you are qualified. The number of entries selected is greater than the number of immigrant visas available, because not everyone selected will be qualified for the visa or will choose to complete the processing. Once all 50,000 visas have been issued, the diversity visa program for the year will end."\n\n"Applicants will be selected at random by computer from among all qualified entries. Those selected will be notified by mail between May and July 2006 and will be provided further instructions, including information on fees connected with immigration to the U.S. Persons not selected will NOT receive any notification. U.S. embassies and consulates will not be able to provide a list of successful applicants. Spouses and unmarried children under age 21 of successful applicants may also apply for visas to accompany or follow to join the principal applicant. DV-2007 visas will be issued between October 1, 2006 and September 30, 2007."

They always check IDs when I've voted. How else will they verify who you are? It is totally necessary to avoid someone walking in and saying they are you.

I'd like to see that happen. In my state, you have to be registered a month ahead of time. I find this prevents a lot of younger people from voting because it's usually their first election and they either don't know you have to wait or just lose track of time.

Da ben dan,\nI think that it happened several times while I was here. I had points coming in a string, and no e-mail was sent to notify me of what it was. I don't know if it was a glitch, or perhaps what you said; we were reported for no good reason, and they caught up with it.
