Ok thanks @Sm1smom @SusieQQQ, re-entry permit is the only real option available though right? Other then just making another visit back to the US. Side note, the last time I visited the US (Honolulu) CBP indicated a loose policy to allow permanent residents to be outside the US for the first 2...

Hello, I was wondering whether entering the DV lottery as a permanent resident can effect their status? The obvious question would be why do this - if the permanent resident is unable to return to the US within 12 months but is hoping to get back there at some point, but enters the lottery while...

Hey, So I had my interview on the 10th of February (Chicago), it went fine, the FO said she was approving my case, although the form she handed me said it was being held for review, she could not hand me a form that said it was approved. She said you'll have your card in 2-3 weeks time. It'll...

I was able to walk in and do my biometrics today, my appointment wasn't until the 11th but I'll be out of the country so that was convenient.

I've passed this on, thanks. USCIS does seem to like providing inconsistent information. Perhaps they are letting the DS-260 slide this year for AOS, but next year it will be enforced. Who knows.

I deciphered do not file until Oct 1 from this statement: Regardless, I'm not ready to file yet anyway, still have to do the medical this weekend.

This is basically what I received, and I didn't fill out the DS-260. We sent them a letter to indicate we were doing AOS and the DV fee as well.

Yes, it says "don't file until a visa number is available immediately".

It's what the letter from KCC says, don't file until October 1.

Can confirm DS-260 is NOT necessary for AOS. Confirmed with KCC today that my case is being transferred to USCIS, and I am not to send my I-485 in until October 1 at the earliest.

Thanks you too OC_EMS

sigh.. In the AOS package it mentions including copy of High school degrees, other diplomas, certificates, pay stubs for the last 6 months, bank statements etc. When you look on the USCIS website, for AOS it doesn't mention having to provide any of this. And I actually provided most of this when...

I read that memo before, and to me, they are are known for being ambiguous. I'm not doing anything just yet, will consult attorney on this new info and see what she comes back with. thanks I guess there is no harm in filling this form out.

No, but it already tells you at the "If you are selected" stage, that AOS can be done this way: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/diversity-visa/instructions-for-selectees/adjustment.html

It doesn't make sense to me filling out the DS-260, which asks for additional documentation like tax returns, when the I-485 doesn't ask for that information at all, yet it is essentially a similar document.

That is interesting...

FWIW, these websites don't say anything about submitting the DS-260 for AOS: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/diversity-visa/instructions-for-selectees/adjustment.html...

See she told me back in May that I didn't need to do the DS-260, so I didn't fill it out. I only just got an L1 visa in May, so I was dealing with the attorney for that visa.

Yeah I have read the AOS spreadsheet, I have an attorney through my employer who will be assisting, but she said a few months back that for AOS I only needed to do I-485 when my number became current, so I'm questioning her on that now.

Ah okay.. jeeze this stuff is complicated. So technically if I get the DS-260 in this week, I could still get an interview in October or November. And I would post the AOS package at the beginning of September.
