DV 2016 AOS Only

Hello,

I just received a letter that my petition has be denied because I lost my F-1 status few years ago, but before to lose my status I filed for asylum. Is being an asylee pending not a status? Can I just adjust my status by being an asylee pending?

Confirmed. KCC file has not been sent. They said 4-6 weeks. Tomorrow already 4 weeks from the requested date. Hopefully soon.

That's pretty unusual. I've not known KCC to take that long in sending the KCC file even though they typically tell people 4-6 weeks.

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.

In general, one can't stop worrying until you get the Welcome notice at least, or the GC itself. So look forward to the welcome notice or GC showing is in the next couple of days.

Numerous applicants in asylee pending status have successfully completed the DV based AOS process in the past, there may be more going on with your case. Was your asylum petition received by USCIS before you lost your F-1 status? Did you receive a NOA from USCIS for the asylum petition before going out of status?
 
Gilbert Rodriguez said:
Yes I did receive, what do you suggest? Should I book an infopass?

If you're certain your asylum petition was received by USCIS before you went out if status, then you need to visit your FO with all of your documents, both for the asylum and DV based AOS petitions. Present the NOA and any other document you have as prove of being in status. You need to book an INFOPASS right away, if you can't immediately get an open slot, try doing a walk-in.

Ok I will do it, so asylum pending is a status?

I'm sorry I can't get drawn into technical definitions. I've already informed you there are known cases of people with pending asylum cases that successfully completed the DV based AOS process. USCIS makes the final determination.

Have you had your DV interview or has your DV AoS I-485 filing been denied before actually reaching this phase? If you asylum application has been recognized by USCIS as having been received before the date you effectively lost status through F-1, this would certainly have come up during an interview. What is the status of your asylum filings, have they been adjudicated? One therefore needs to understand the specific details of your case, your USCIS FO is in a good position to do so. Go talk to them or have your case reviewed by an experienced immigration lawyer, you do not have much time left to get this sorted out.

I had an interview, they did not mention it on the interview, I just received the decision on the mail. My asylum is nit pending, I withdraw it shortly before to apply for AOS. I would go to the FO tomorrow as suggested by sms1mom

Well that explains it. If you already withdrew your asylum petition before filing the DV AOS petition, you're automatically out of status which makes you ineligible for AOS. So they were right in denying your AOS. My initial suggestion for you to visit your FO was based on your claim of a pending asylum.

Thank you for providing the additional background information. This, unfortunately, is what I had been afraid of for your AoS DV case.

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.

Hey-

Given that you already got your physical green card, it's probably a glitch but if I were you, I'd just give them a call to make sure that your change of address is processed properly. Btw, if you are under 26 yo, remember to update your address in the Selective Service System too.
 
Hi guys, I hope everyone doing well, today I got a call from USCIS's supervisor and asked me to come for interview on 15 of September, it was a simple mistake as you said Britsimon when the interview was scheduled on 11th Oct. Please guys hope a good luck for me.
 
Hello mom, I have a really quick question. Do we have to update our status anywhere I mean as a permanent resident, like in social security, work or in university ?
