DV 2026 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

1. Email subject line is:

"2026EU00020XXX Diversity Visa Adjustment Letter,​

Attached is the Adjustment Letter.

In order for the Kentucky Consular Center to assist with inquiries regarding a specific Diversity Visa (DV) case, you must provide the Principal Applicant's full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY) as entered on the original entry. Please remember that the Kentucky Consular Center does not have the authority to tell you whether or not your specific case will be disqualified. Only a consular officer can do that at the time of your visa interview. Do not send any paper documents to the Kentucky Consular Center."
2. Okay thank you.
3. I asked because I thought this is what early filling means: when your CN is close to becoming current by a month. In my case, the cut-off number is 20,000 and my CN is 20,XXX.

1. That seems to be a response to an email you originally sent to KCC.
3. I recommend you go through the FAQ tab of the AOS process spreadsheet to read up on early filing.
 
Hi!

Does joing the lawsuit/showing immigration intent mean I can't apply for OPT? Currently graduating in summer 2026 and I was looking it up online and found answers for both yes and no.

Thanks!

Applying for OPT after filing for AOS (which is a clear demonstration of an immigrant intent) did not negatively impact OPT approval in the past.
 
Hi @Sm1smom,

Hope you are doing well.

Should my financial sponsor list all of my family members on a single Form I-134, or is a separate form required for each family member?

thank you on your guidance.
 
Hi,

first of all thank you for maintaining this amazing resource for everyone!
My spouse has been selected in DV2026 and we're going through the AOS process - currently putting the package together.

I had a couple questions about document translations.
1. I read the FAQ but want to double-check this still applies in DV2026: Can anyone translate foreign documents as long as they sign a certification they're fluent in the original language and English?
2. What does that certification look like as an example that people successfully used?

1. Yes. Anyone outside of the person applying, or their immediate family member.
2. Sample certified statement:

CERTIFIED STATEMENT

I, [typed translator’s name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in [Foreign Language], and that the attached document is a complete and accurate translation of the attached [Name of Document].

[Signature]

[Date]

[Typed Translator’s Name]

[Typed Translator’s Address]

Hi Mom,
For some documents that require translation, my parents are getting them translated in my home country by an official translation company and they will also have the documents notarized (although I understand notarization is not required). However, the translation company refuses to include the statement you mentioned above because they say it does not appear in the original document. They will provide their official stamp and signature on the translation instead.

Do you think it is necessary to have that statement included in this situation?

Thank you for your guidance.

The certified statement is not supposed to be included in the translated version, it will be on a separate piece of paper on it’s own.

Hi, @Sm1smom,

I have a similar question regarding the translations. Could you please clarify whether we need to attach a separate certification statement to each translated document, even if the translated version already includes the official stamp of the translation agency and the translator’s signature?


Thank you for your guidance.

That is the official recommendation - including a certified fluency attestation with a translated document. However, USCIS has been known to accept translated documents with just the translating agency’s dated, and signed stamp.
 
Hi @Sm1smom ! Unfortunately, as we all know, the progress on DV-related AOS is stale. I got a question - my girlfriend (AOS applicant, currently in "authorized period of stay"). Do you think there are any obstacles for obtaining a real-ID or travelling at all? We are really concerned and wanted to be as cautious as possible in this situation since all the old documents are expired. Thank you so much!

Quite doubtful she will be approved for a real ID considering she is currently OOS. Yes, she's in a period of authorized stay based on the pending AOS application, she is nonetheless currently OOS. Based on this, I wouldn't be traveling around the US (if I was in a similar situation) under the current administration.
