Hey guys, Does anyone know if the 6 months of passport validity rule applies to I-485 cases or not?

It does not necessarily apply. However if your passport is about to expire and there's enough time before you're likely to get an interview you should go ahead and renew it.

Thanks for the quick reply mom. My passport will expire in Aug 2015 and I guess my case number (AS59xx) will be current around feb-march 2015.
 
Hi guys,i need your advise.I am currently in US on B2 visa,and my i 94 expired on august 20,but i applied for status extension on august 9,so now my application is pending.
My DV number is really low,so i expect it to be current in november.
My question can i go ahead and send AOS package or do i have to wait for my extension of stay to be approved?.thank you

Were you already in the US when you learned that you had won the lottery?

hmm! I'm not quite sure about this. I honestly would have gone back home for CP if I was in your shoes. I think you should consider speaking with an immigration attorney before filing.
 
Thank Mom,i filled ds 260 yesterday,where i indicated that i want to do AOS..now i dont know if i made a right decision

I'm just not quite sure how the IO might react to the fact that you filed an extension of stay for the purpose of adjusting status, even though you found out about your selection after arriving in the US. If you still had your originally approved B1/B2status as at the time your CN becomes current, I would have said it with about 90 - 95% certainty it shouldn't be a problem.

I wish you had asked before filing for status extension. Anyway speak with an immigration attorney first like I suggested before.
 
Thanks again,i will speak with immigration attorney.
i just want to say that i filled an extension of stay for the purpose of taking USMLE Step 3 and participate in residency interview season,which is in OCtober,Nov,Dec.
However i mentioned in my application that i was selected for DV and attached a form.
thanks for advice again!
 
Hi everyone..My case number is 2015 ASXXX67XX. I completed the DS-260 on May 19 and opted for AOS and received an email from KCC on July 1 which says....
"Thank you for informing us of your intention to apply for adjustment of status with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Please note that there are legal restrictions on who may qualify for adjustment of status in the United States, and that while most adjustment applications are filed with USCIS, aliens in removal proceedings must file their adjustment applications with the Immigration Court. You must also pay the Diversity Visa (DV) processing fee
before USCIS or the court will act on your adjustment application......." Is this what all the AOS people get? Is there anything else that I have to do other than wait for my visa number be available and preparing my docs? Also, any prediction on when my number might be current? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You need to read the spreadsheet linked from the first post in this thread. It covers everything. Once you've done that we can fill in any gaps.

Your number should be current about June 2015 - but don't forget you can file early (covered in the spreadsheet info).
 
Thanks Britsimon. I have read the spreadsheet and it was really helpful! Just to make myself clear, can I start preparing my medical report now? Also when is teh earliest I can send the dv fee?
