Thank you for the detailed response. What more information would you need for clarity? I have listed below my case updates (updated the sheet too). Based on the information below (and your response above), can you tell if the case was adjudicated and the interview was waived?
So I’m having a difficult time with trying to help you due to inconsistency in the information you’re providing. You previously stated your case was current May, now you’re saying it became current in April.
There’s no fear of visa exhaustion for this FY. Just exercise some patience for now to see how the process goes this time around - your previous background check will most likely be reused which further pushes your case processing timeline forward.
It really doesn’t matter at this point whether the EAD is F1 based or AOS based, it is effectively invalid once you become a LPR. Once you receive the actual GC, you can decide if you wish to return it or not.
Sorry for the confusion but this is the correct information ( I double checked everything)
1. So here’s the issue - your data points which you keep providing in your posts is not quite useful to me or your fellow AOSers (both current and future ones). The data points are more valuable in the Timeline spreadsheet which is where you need to get them updated, including the sections already flagged as red on the spreadsheet as earlier stated. There’s no way I can do what I do here for the past 12+ years if everyone was simply listing their data points in forum posts which gets buried over time. That is why we have the spreadsheets as the data repository which can be referenced year after year. So again, help me better help you, and help others by adding your data points to the spreadsheet.
Thanks, Mom! I added my data to the sheet and managed to get my biometrics date through the Emma chat. I was able to reschedule it for tomorrow.
The mailed version is no longer relevant, or needed.
Thank you!
Shouldn't be a problem. You can update the address when you get called in for your interview.
Hi, checking In for the first time - this is my case, thanks for your help. My current status is that I've completed medical and payment was just delivered to DOS, I haven't done the DS260. Reading the guide, It sounds very risky to submit without payment if it's rejected at lockbox and add further delay waiting for the package to return? My FO is NYC if that matters - it seems like they don't do interview waivers anyway?
While there has been no report of interview waiver with the NYC FO, it has shown a fairly decent quick turn-around with this FY's DV based AOS cases. While I wouldn't describe AOS package submission without the DV payment receipt as "very risky", yes there is the slight possibility of the package being rejected.
You can always try via phone call, if you're able to get the bot to connect you to a live person. You can also initiate another EMMA chat tomorrow, and request to be connected to a live agent. It is always a hit or miss with the agents, some are could be nice, while some would act like they're being bothered. You just never know which side a coin will land on following a toss up.
Awesome! Congratulations.
