Same day for me, a few days for others, and I think it's possible that for some it never changes. Don't worry too much about it.

Like @raphael1899 said, type "Live agent".
After that, it should give you a list of options. Click "Case Status".
You should be able to navigate through it after that
Hello everyone!
Mom, tell me, please, in what cases it is not required to undergo biometrics? We received an invitation to interview, but did not receive a notification for biometrics. Maybe because only a year has passed since we arrived and the biometrics taken when issuing a visa is still valid?
Thank you for your work and patience, good luck with everything, Mom.

Bio is waived for people who recently attended another bio appointment in the US for some other application they have filed. The visa related bio conducted at the embassy does not apply.
I did. On June 2nd they told me a tier 2 would call me within 14 days and, if not, to call back. I called back today and they told me the waiting time can be up to 30 days and that there’s nothing else they can do

Hi mom,
My husband is in F2 visa. So he doesn't have a SSN. We didn't get our bio appoinment yet . But received the interview letter dated 12thAugust.
Assuming we will receive GC in end of August. (We didn't include EAD application in our AOS packet)
1) When will my husband be able to get his SSN? (I mean is there any specific time period that he has to wait for)
2) How many days he has to wait to get the EAD?
Thank you so much

1. He will be able to apply for his SSN after he gets his GC.
2. You didn’t apply for an EAD card, so he’s not getting one. But even if he did, he wouldn’t need an EAD card once he gets his GC.

Thank you so much.
Hi everyone, I'm posting on behalf of some friends who have gone through AOS this year (DV2021) - is anybody able to point me in the direction of good info to see how things are progressing on the AOS side of things? Like how many cases are getting interviews / approvals etc? Thanks

Thanks.
They asked me to provide "documentation from your sponsor indicating how funds to cover your expenses are transferred."
I have no clue on this! Have you got any idea?!

Bank statement?

Well, how did your sponsor pay your expenses? Was money transferred into your bank account, did they pay college/rent etc directly, what? I have to say I have not personally heard of this kind of RFE for OPT before, and reading between the lines by looking at what they are asking for, it sounds like they are concerned that you may not have maintained status. So to go back to what mom said, it may be in your best interest not to just leave this hanging, even if you only need to respond by October.

This sounds like a request coming from Sacramento FO?
I got RFE with a deadline in October as well... I'm just curious how they are thinking that's going to work out.

Hello, I know I’m pretty late but I was wondering who here sent their AOS package without the dv fee receipt and what was the outcome?
I have sent a check for the dv fee in early June, it got cashed in early July but I still haven’t received the receipt. Given the approaching deadline, I was planning on submitting my AOS without the receipt.

I sent the AOS package without the DV receipt.
The lockbox accepted it without any issue.
I suggest emailing KCC for a digital copy.
I sent the email to KCC on 06/20/2021 for the copy and I got it on 07/15/2021

I don't think they would be able to issue the visa after September 30th even if they wanted to, right?

No. This is from Fairfax VA
RFE is on Application for Employment Authorization

All the money was transferred from my sponsor to my bank account. Now does "documentation from your sponsor" mean they need HER bank statements? Because some bank accounts have been closed and I`m desperate
