Ah ok. KCC will send you a receipt of your payment (basically the same piece of paper you sent them, with a PAID stamp on it) and you'll be good to go. You will not hear from USCIS until after you send your AOS package.

What do you mean by 485 processing fee? Do you mean the $330 DV Processing fee? You can't pay the I-485 filing fee ($1,225/applicant) without actually sending your AOS package.

For me, the email came from KCCDV@state.gov with the subject line: "[Your Case Number] Diversity Visa Adjustment Letter"

No. It has to be a bank/cashier's check or money order.

Simply: The processing times you see online doesn't apply to DV applicants.

Send the payment now, so that you can send your I-485 application (along with the DV fee payment receipt) as soon as your CN becomes current.

As far as I know, if you're on H1B status, you do not need an Advance Parole document to travel outside the US while I-485 is pending. Though, make sure you fulfill all the requirements of your H1B visa before you travel (for example, if you need to get anything signed by your employer or get a...

You should not disclose your CN on a public forum. It is considered sensitive information, I'd recommend you delete it :) Also the number itself has no relevance - what matters that it became current in October. Did you make an Infopass appointment to follow up?

What number is that?

Like Mom said, NY FO takes their time to send out interview letters. I had a similar situation last year. I was current in October with CN 2016EU2***. It took me 7 months to get the IL after I completed my biometrics. So you may potentially have a little more time ahead of you till you get the...

Your I-131 and I-765 is processed by the NBC so, the timeline under that applies to you (which is usually 3 months, if it hasn't changed). It is your field office that handles your I-485, however the timeline of your field office will still not apply to your case because it's DV based. The...

Yep! You'll get the paper acceptance receipt (I-797C) first, then the biometrics appt letter. Good luck!

Yes.

Hey– Sorry to hear this! Do you have any guess why they could have denied? An advantage of AOS is that you can appeal in case of denial unlike CP. Hopefully it's just a mistake!

Either money order or bank (certified) check. Personal checks are not accepted for this payment. It should be made payable to the Department of State.

If your online status hasnt been updated and/or you haven't recieved the welcome (approval) letter, your application is most probably isn't approved yet. There is no way of getting an ADIT stamp without approval but it'll be helpful for you to follow up on your case. It may have gotten stuck in...

Did your I-485 got approved?

Passports are not given an ADIT stamp commonly anymore but yes, if you get one, the stamp serves as a temporary proof of permanent residency (meaning you can travel abroad and seek admission with the stamp when you're back).
