Hello, I won the 2023 DV lottery from Europe, and my rank is around 15,000, I am in the US legally now for a few years. I will file for adjustment of status. I see that historically I can file I-485 around April of each year, but the rule says my I-485 has to be processed by September 30. I am afraid I will not make it on time. Should I write a cover letter to USCIS with an expedite request? Should I put "Attention Expedite" on the envelope? Can I file I-485 in advance on the month that posts next month's numbers that will be above my rank, and include a copy of the USCIS memo allowing for somewhat early filing? Also, is it enough to simply translate my high school diploma into English, or do I need a professional evaluation of diploma service? Thank you in advance for the answers.
 
DV based AOS applications in general go through an expedited process, compared to other types of AOS applications.

I recommend you go through the AOS process spreadsheet linked to the first post on page one of the DV2023 AOS Only thread to enhance your understanding of the steps involved and the process in general. Then post follow up questions you may have after going through the spreadsheet on that thread as it is beneficial to keep all DV based AOS related questions/issues on one thread.
