As an AOS applicant, 2NL is not something you should be stressing yourself about. I remember my 2NL took 4 months to show up and didn't need it during my interview.

If it'll comfort you, I applied for an AOS related EAD while I had a valid EAD (OPT). It shouldn't be a problem (I didn't face any issues last year). As per the filing fee, form I-765 has no filing fee if filed concurrently with I-485. Since, you didn't send the I-765 together with your I-485...

You should use your current address when filling out AOS related papers. All communication (including your green card at the end) will be sent to the address you will provide in those papers. It will also determine your Application Support Center (where you give your finger prints) and the USCIS...

It's not a matter of recommendation. If you think you'd need a work permit during your application process you should get it. If not, you should opt out. Since it is free of charge to file I-765 with a I-485, might as well do it. I was an F1 on OPT and I still filed I-765. Just a heads up...

Hey- Given that you already got your physical green card, it's probably a glitch but if I were you, I'd just give them a call to make sure that your change of address is processed properly. Btw, if you are under 26 yo, remember to update your address in the Selective Service System too.

I think it's just an old script that they read. My file was sent and delivered to the FO the same day. Good luck!

As far as I know, you remain in your current valid status when you're pending AOS. Since you're on an unexpired E2 NIV, an unsuccessful AOS should have no effect. You abandon your current status only if it expires in the meantime or you use your AOS EAD or leave the country and paroled back with...

Awesome. Wanted to give you a heads up just in case. Good luck!

You should avoid using your EAD and/or AP if you want to revert back to your NIV status in case USCIS fails to adjudicate your status before the end of FY. Right, @Sm1smom ?

That's the update everyone wants to see. You're a permanent resident of the US now. Congrats :)

It is a wait game until the day you finally hold your green card in your very hands :) For DV cases, the online status won't go beyond "fees were accepted" (or whatever the exact verbiage is) until after a decision is made.

Hi- Yes, it is a good sign. It means that the IO will most likely approve your case. Though you need to wait until you see your online status change to Approval/CPO or getting the physical Welcome Letter to sip the bubbly. Bear in mind that the approval may take a few days/weeks depending on...

Salut Jerome. Yes, it is the FO that schedules your interview. If you go over the spreadsheets for this year and previous years, you may have a rough idea how Dallas FO handles interview scheduling for DV AOS cases. Good luck!

Yep. I got what you got.

It had been more than 6 months since I had my medical exam when I received my interview letter. I didn't re-do the exam before the interview and didn't have any problems. Good luck!

Oh sorry. I miss that detail. It is a typo. If I were you I would apply for a replacement to avoid potential problems in the future. Obviously it's a USCIS error and you won't need to pay for anything. Sorry for the extra work you need to deal with. Hope it gets resolved soon. As far as I know...

The "Resident since" date should be the date your AOS was approved. Isn't that the case?

My letter had title, start date and annual salary printed on a company letterhead signed by the HR. Along with the date of issue, of course. Hope it helps.

Lol. It feels impossible to believe that it's over after a long and stressful wait but yes, you are finally green! The status may or may not change to CPO, "We mailed your card", "Post office picked up your document" etc. but either way, you'll get your card soon! Congrats :) And yes, the...

It is certainly not unusual not to be approved on the spot. I don't understand why you're utterly surprised. Also the fact that your IO was being honest with you about not reviewing your file earlier doesn't mean other IOs spend hours on those files. My IO didn't seem like he looked at my file...
