Hey devilwithin999,

          U dont need to panic that much as you r now. I have gone thru the same process as u did.
Here are the stepwise process.
1. fill out forms that are in ur fst letter. If you want to do adjustment of status form US, there is a place in the form where you can write 'BCIS'. The instructions are in the form itself. If you want to be interviewed abroad, you need to write something else, which is not in my head at this moment.

2. Send these forms to Kentucky consular center. You do not need to send any other documents at this moment. You need to pay $375 to kentucky, it is the DV fee. You can do that later too if you want. You can send personal check or money order.

3. If u selected AOS(adjustment of status) you will not receive a second letter. Rather, U need to see when ur case becomes current. Go to: Travel.state.gov. under the visa section, select visa bulletin. Its updated in monthly basis. Go through the archieved bulletin and U will have a rough idea when ur case will b current. If you selected consular processing back in nepal, U will recieve a second letter, with ur interview date. Still Visa Bulletin is a useful tool. Remember, AOS is a lengthy process in comparasion to CP.

4. U need to fill some forms and send it to USCIS for adjustment of status. I did so, after my case was current. I dont know if u can do it before that. The forms that u need to fill out and the fee that u need to pay ... all these information are available at www.uscis.gov. Go thru it. The necessary papers that u need at that time are mentioned in ur fst letter. Keep it ready. send the copies to USCIS with the forms and take the originals with u to the interview.

5. U will get an appointment letter for ur biometrics.

6. After doing the biometric , U will get ur interview letter. Will ask u some simple stuffs N U r done.

        This is jst the brief I told U. There r several other complicated matter in between. Give me ur email address N I will give u the minute details.
