DV 2025 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

In April bulletin, May cutoff for Europe is still 16000. Now I feel really scared and devastated. I think my CN 23k will not be current in this FY - or it'll be current too late to get the GC. It's terrible.

Hi Mom and all,

We got this email from Montreal today:

Hello,

We acknowledge receipt of your document.

We are pleased to confirm that the applicants' case transfer request has been approved.
We want to use this opportunity and let you know that case transfers between U.S. Consulates and Embassies might take considerable time. In many instances months pass before we receive the case from another post. As soon as we receive the case in Montreal, we will review the file and advise of the next steps required in order to continue processing the visa application. The applicants will eventually have to acquire a medical exam and book an interview appointment using our online appointment system. The appointment availability changes depending on the workload we have at any given time.

...


Which is good news for us, but it's hard to tell if we need to do anything else or just wait. I already replied asking for clarifications. In any case, my assumption is that as soon as they request our case, our AoS will be considered withdrawn, right?

This is great news, it would be awesome if Montreal is able to process you guys to completion. You may want to contact your IO to give them a heads up to expect case file request from Montreal. Once the case file gets passed on to the Montreal embassy (which hopefully should be before the AOS application gets adjudicated), then your AOS application should be considered withdrawn from that point .

Thanks. What I'm worried about is that they didn't really ask anything, not which USCIS FO, case number, etc. I'm just surprised they can find our case by just our names... Unless I'm missing something very important.

So you need to follow-up with them on that in that case to clarify they understand your case file is with USCIS, if no information was provided about your FO when you contacted them.
 
Hi everyone, assumably background checks prolong it for some of us, so a question came up in my mind. In case the selectee does not clear by end of the FY, the outcome is clear, but what happens if a derivate does not clear and the selectee does?

Then the selectee gets the green card but the derivative doesn’t. The selectee can subsequently petition the derivative for a family-based green card, assuming the derivative is ultimately eligible. However, if the derivative in the green card application is also a derivative of whatever visa status the selectee originally had, they will no longer be in status when that visa ends/selectee becomes a LPR so unless they can change to a valid status of their own, they will have to leave and process abroad.

hi everyone, qq. My case number became current in Jan, but I mailed my aos package last week because I was waiting for j1 waiver recommendation. So, since I don't have the waiver yet, I know I am allowed to submit with just the favorable recommendation, does uscis process the j1 waiver with i-485 together or it will be done separately? (if so, I am assuming it will significantly delay my case). Also, my country was on the travel ban list last time, if it will be on the list again, does it affect adjustment of status cases or it only affects consular processing? Thanks
