Sorry, I still do not get something. In my “Decision” status it is mentioned ADIT = Alien Documentation Identification & Telecommunication Systems. Does it means that any additional information is still missing.
Is it “we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later” a normal sentence that all of the applicants receive?

Hi Everyone:

Just came back home...
First, I wanna thank to Simon and Mom.
really helpful information here.

Our interview is today @ 12:45 pm
We came to FO @ 12:15pm
Every staffs were so nice, they say our baby is so cute.
My wife and I had different time for the interview, but we interviewed together.

The IO was so nice, he didn't ask too many questions.
Just looked our IDs, all passports, all EAD cards
Then, he check I-485.
Added our baby's information on it because when we sent I-485, baby didn't born yet.
(Thanks Mom to remind us to bring baby's birth certificate)
he only asked who will support us to live in the U.S. because I am still student now.
I have my and my parents' bank statements. So, that's ok.
My wife have worked before by using her OPT, so the IO asked her about her previous job.
My wife gave him her offer letters and W2 forms.
That's all. And he looked our baby said is your first baby?
we said "yes." he said "everything is exciting about first baby, uh? if you have second, then you will feel whatever, ha..."
We laughed together.

Finally, he said he can request visa numbers now for us if we can wait about 5-10 mins.
We said sure.
Then, he said we are granted.
just go home and wait for the mail.

My wife finally smiled again and I took her to have a good lunch.
When we came home,
I check status, mine is "Card/ Document Production"
my wife is "Post Decision Activity"
I think it means we are ok now, right?

I am so happy for you :)
 
Alright, this is the sad end of my story I guess. So Iranians are required to go to one of the US embassies in Ankara, Doha, or Armenia. This letter was apparently printed and given to all the applicants who were present at the Armenia embassy on September 5, although none of these embassies say anything about visa numbers running out. I have suffered enough in this process to the point that I don't really feel like attending my infopass appointment on Monday. But I guess I owe it to myself to go and make sure that is the reality...

Apparently, AOS has its own separate allocation. Don't lose hope! I'm more than hopeful that AOS folks will have visa available to them.

Man please don't give up!
Every year they take 1k extra on the 50k allocated, so you might be squeezed in there...
You came that far man, go for your infos pass, may be they will give you an interview date the following day.

This is the same message that has been displayed for over a month now. If you read it properly it is pointing out the the limits being reached in all 6 regions is based on the amount of interviews scheduled in August and September - so visas will be granted for a while yet. So - this isn't the end of your story at all - cut that negative thought out of your mind. You still have a chance....

What about the first paragraph @Britsimon ? The rest is just a template that they have been repeating since the beginning of the September I agree.

That paragraph specifically refers to pending cases (AP). So this letter is telling someone on AP that they will not get a visa - effectively that their AP will not be processed further. That has nothing to do with your AoS case. Whilst I don't 100% accept the argument that AoS will have their visas pre-allocated (as happens in CP cases) I do think that there will be some "flex" (confusion is a more accurate term) between the DoS pool used for AoS cases and the country/region preallocations used at the embassies. So - I could even imagine an Iranian AoS case being approved after the embassies have stopped handing out visas.

I think what proves Simon's point is that we know of AOS cases approved yesterday, after the letter was handed out...
Also the letter does not refer to Iran specifically but mentions all regions. So if you take the letter at face value no AOS cases should have been approved for at least one day already, we know that is not the case.
So I agree, do not give up hope, keep your appointment!

Mini-update on my case: KCC has sent my file yesterday which is pretty impressive given that they received the request on Wednesday morning. The turnaround time is only 1 day.

I'm expecting a decision by the end of next week. If not, the plan is to call and visit the FO on the 15th.

Mine was requested and sent in same day so I bet You ;p ;)
