Hi,

I was among those randomly selected for further processing
in the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) program for the fiscal
year 2010. Since I currently reside in the U.S., I filed
Form I-485 ("Application to Register Permanent Residence or
Adjust Status"). Upon having my biometrics taken, I had an
interview with an Immigration Service Officer at a U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office.
Because of a misunderstanding, I failed to bring to this
interview an original Form I-134 ("Affidavit of Support")
from a sponsor. Please note that my parents and sibling
recently became U.S. citizens and are willing and able to be
sponsors.

At the end of the interview, I asked the Immigration Service
Officer if I can provide Form I-134 after the fact and he
answered no. He made it sound as though a person gets only
one chance at an interview with an Immigration Service
Officer. He gave me a sheet of paper that had the following
ticked off:

"Your case is being held for file review to prepare a
decision. You will be advised by mail as to a decision on
your application. No additional information is necessary
from you at this time, however, if upon further review,
additional information or evidence is required, you will
receive notice in the mail. Please respond to any request in
a timely manner. Failure to do so will result in denial of
your application Please allow 60 days from today's date
before making an inquiry on your case."

Questions:
1. Is there a way I can provide Form I-134 after the fact?
If so, how?
2. If my application is denied, can I appeal the decision?
If so, what are the chances of winning such an appeal and
still finish adjusting my status before the DV program for
fiscal year 2010 ends?

Thank you in advance for all your time and assistance.

Best,
LostAndScared
