DV 2016 AOS Only

Mom
Last time I talk to you was about 2 months back. All of us were just waiting for bulletin, so there was nothing much going on at the time. I have a pending asylum status. We're doing AOS our number AF000013***. we received an e-mail from KCC. We know that in the next bulletin we'll be current. We've applied for EAD but it's still pending. The question is, if the bulletin comes out and we haven't received the EAD, what can we do?

I don't see what the pending EAD application has to do with your AOS petition. The EAD is a work authorization document, your AOS petition isn't based on its approval or denial.
 
Hello guys, i have another question. Just about to email KCC to unlock my application so i can make mothers surname at birth correction. The question is when i submitted my form to DV2016 i put my name my last name and also on middle name i put my fathers name (i was assuming that it would be equivalent to what we have in our country as "otchestvo" fathers name which is patronymic? name. So when i was filling out DS-260 i put my name as i put it in DV16 application. However my passport doesn't have that patronymic name or middle name. Should i correct it or leave it as it is?

As far as I know, patronymic should not be used as a middle name. I would remove it.

Can you clarify whether the name on your DV entry form is the same as the name on your passport? It doesn't sound like it is?

I'm sorry if I'm being dense, but I find that answer confusing. Is the name on your entry form entered as first name middle name last name exactly the same as first name middle name last name on your passport?

I am sorry that i am making this sound very confusing. Here is the thing, my name in my passport does not include middle/patronymic name. On my passport i have my first and last name, however on DV entry form i have my first name, last name and patronymic name. Does that make sense?
 
I have a question. When is I-485 Adjustment of Status considered pending? when I get I-797C Notice of Action or when?
Thanks!

Yes, after the NOA is received from USCIS.

Sorry, Mom, I'm still confused.
On USCIS web it's written that:
"Does the Form I-797C Grant any Specific Immigration Benefits?
USCIS recognizes that some state, local, public, or private benefit granting agencies may accept Form I-797C as collateral evidence for awarding a benefit they administer. USCIS reminds those agencies that Form I-797C is only a receipt proving an applicant has submitted a benefit request; USCIS has not determined whether that applicant is eligible for an immigration benefit."
Moreover in the NOA it's stated that:
"This confirmation provides notification of the date USCIS received your case. This notice does NOT grant any immigration status or benefit. You MAY NOT present this notice as evidence that you have been granted any immigration status or benefit. Further, this notice does NOT constitute evidence that your case remains pending with USCIS. The current status of your case must be verified with USCIS."
So, how to understand this? does it mean that this I-797C NOA is just a receipt and it does not mean that case is pending?

This bureaucracy makes me crazy, sorry.

Long and short response: it means whatever petition it was issued with regards to has been formally accepted by USCIS and is pending a final decision. Don't try to over analyze the wordings.

For AOS, much attention isn't paid to what's on the DS-260 form. You can either leave the patronymic name listed as part of your name on the DS form or list it under the 'Other names' section. The question is, how do you want your name listed on your GC? Do you want the patronymic name listed as part of your name on the card? The names on your card will be based on what's written on your I-485. Since the patronymic name isn't listed on your passport, you might want to consider listing it as part of other names used on your I-485 while listing only your first and last name on the regular name section of the form to ensure it's not listed on your GC and the GC matches what's on your passport.

Yeah i really don't want my patronymic name listed on GC, and since my passport doesn't list my patronymic name i only used my first and last name everywhere since i have been in US. I will just leave the DS-260 as it is then, but do i need to include my patronymic name as Other names in I-485? My initial DV-entry form has my patronymic name in the middle name box.
