    DV 2017 AOS Only

    Well, the I-693 is valid for 12 months so your January 27, 2017 medical exam rules that out as an issue. They did issue a new I-693 in February though. Whats expiration date on your I-693 form?: Beginning April 28, 2017, civil surgeons must use the 02/07/17 edition Form I-693 (which shows an...

    I can't say for certain as I used FedEx but I'm quite sure you have nothing to worry about. You sent it to this address right? USCIS PO Box 805887 Chicago, IL 60680-4120 You likely won't hear anything from them for at least another week.

    Sameer, you shouldn't expect your check to be processed nor receive the acceptance notification for at least two weeks. I suggest checking out the Timeline spreadsheet linked from the AOS package preparation document on the first page of this thread. Request editing access and add your details...

    DV 2017 AOS Only

    Thanks again Sm1smom. I wanted to get your take on some legal advice I received that differs from what i've read on this forum and others. To recap, this is for an AOS from an A-2. I've engaged the services of a law firm to double check the AOS package. They are insistent that I include an...

    DV 2017 AOS Only

    Hi everyone, I have some questions about travelling on an AP card while an AOS is pending and tax transcript requirements. 1. I understand that when you do travel on an AP card and then re-enter the country your previous visa status no longer applies and you are now in "Parolee Status". Does...

    Thanks again Sm1smom. I thought that we still needed EAD's after the GC so thanks for the clarification. Line 81, Column D in the spreadsheet now makes sense. Since my wife and I are currently allowed to work here we wont be submitting the I-765 documents in our AOS package.

    DV 2017 AOS Only

    Regarding point three, are you suggesting that she does not need to submit the I-765 form with her AOS package since she has a valid EAD card? I assume that after the Green Card is received she submits the I-765 and waits the 3-4 months for the EAD. This would work as her current EAD is valid...

    Thank you Sm1smom. Ugh. 3-4 months with no travel will be a particularly challenging hurdle. Would anyone have experience or success in expediting the process? I've reviewed the "Requests to Expedite Applications or Petitions" page and the only area we may fall under is "Severe financial loss...

    DV 2017 AOS Only

    Hi, I have a couple of questions regarding travel and employment with a pending I-485. I can see from the spreadsheet this is possible. I'm on an A-2 visa. My wife's visa hangs of mine and she has an EAD. I appears that we must remain in the country from the moment we submit our AOS package...

    DV 2017 AOS Only

    Hi, I wanted to start by saying thanks to all the contributors on this forum. The spreadsheet is very useful and helped identify some gaps in our AOS package. I’m hoping there are experts on this forum regarding switching from A-2 to a Green Card. My wife and I have been in the States for...

    Oops! I thought it would try and contribute! Yes, I am Australian and have been living in the states for 6 years on work visa's. I thought its time to make things more permanent so I entered DV2015 and was selected for further processing. I'm just over the 2000 mark so my chances this time...
