DV 2016 AOS Only

I just booked infopass on friday.OMG man now I'm out of service now because of that txt

No need to worry - it's a simple mistake. They will reschedule when you point out the problem. If I were you I would go to the infopass prepared for an on the spot interview (all documents with you) and I would also take the policy memo that explains the deadline. DO NOT let them tell you October is OK. It isn't.

Hello everybody,
I attended the interview on August 31. I asked about check background and the IO told me it was clean. However, the KCC file was requested on August 11th and has not been sent to my FO yet. I called them this morning. They told me 4-6 weeks but cannot guarantee. (Don't know if it is important but I completed the DS-260 on May2016). So what I need is relax and be patient, right? Thank you!

"... relax and be patient" - no, I think this is quite the opposite of what you'd need to be right now if you want to be successfully processed by USCIS FO by September 30th.

Thank you so much, I will prepare everything for infopass
 
So, I can book an Infopass for next week. Therefore, what I just need to ask is: what is holding my approval? or any other question would help? Many Thanks!
In essence, what you clearly need to understand is a) is there currently anything preventing your DV AoS application to be adjudicated and, if so, what does need to be done right now to resolve this hold up? and b) if there is nothing preventing your case from being adjudicated by your IO, when can you expect this to happen on or before September 30th, as time is in the process of running out for your pending I-485 application? Take all documentation with you, necessary to argue your case if required, as advised by Britsimon in detail on this forum on various occasions.

Thank you very much! Really appreciate your help
 
Thank you so much, I will prepare everything for infopass

Find the next open spot and book an INFOPASS right away. In addition to what Simon said about attending the INFOPASS fully prepared for the possibility of an interview, and showing them the 2013 Memo, I will also suggest you point out this statement which is on their website to them:

The adjustment of status process for diversity visa winners must be completed by September 30 of the fiscal year the lottery pertains to. Visas cannot be carried over to the next fiscal year.
https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/ot...card-through-diversity-immigrant-visa-program
Print out the entire page, and be sure to book mark should in case they ask you for where it is written. I would actually recommend using this first in place of the Memo, as this is directly written on the USCIS web page.

Best of luck!

Was it your IO that informed you your KCC file was requested on Aug 11th and it's yet to be received?

Anyway, call KCC again to find out when your case file was requested, and when/if it has been sent. Also book an INFOPASS to follow up on the case status. Be sure to ask if your background check has cleared or is still pending when you go on the INFOPASS.

KCC informed me by email, not my IO (requested August 11th, not sent). My IO told me background check is clean but she didn't want to say if we were approved on the spot. I booked an INFOPASS for this coming Tuesday. Thank you!

Call KCC again to confirm if the KCC file has been sent or not.
 
Hi there,

I received my GC last month and since I moved after that, I decided to update my uscis address yesterday. A short time after I filed an address change request, I got a text message notification about some changes on my status. When I checked my status (expecting to see an address change request notice), I get the following message:

On August 29, 2016, the Post Office returned a notice we sent you for your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, Receipt Number MSC........, because they could not deliver it. This could have a serious effect on your case. Please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice immediately. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

I am not sure if it is just simply a glitch in their status update system because this message just popped up after I requested an address change (was expecting a change of address notice instead) and also because the address I had in the system was still valid and I received my GC through that address so I see no reason any presumptive document becomes undeliverable. Do you guys think I should do anything here? I have already requested a copy of the notice.

thanks.
 
Hello,
My AOS based on DV lottery status online has changed to 'Case Was Approved'. Does this mean I do not have to worry about the September 30th deadline?

Thanks,
D.
