Thank you Sm1smom for the precision, it make total sense. Do you have an idea or an estimation of the chances to get that early filling refused ? 10% maybe ?

I'm sorry I don't do percentages. If you go over this current AOS Thread (last couple of pages), past AOS Threads, and the AOS Timelines spreadsheets, you should be able to get an idea of how often cases get rejected/denied and which FOs are guilty of that.

Hi guys, I have 2 questions for you if you can help :

1/ Can we send our package when our CN fall under the Advance notification of the current bulletin or the Advance notification of the upcomming bulletin published. For exemple, now we can see both November and the upcomming december bulletin. Do i need to check that my CN fall under the Advance notification of november or december bulletin to try the early filling.

2/ I see a lot of talks about INFOPASS, but I don't see anything about it in the awesome spreadsheet you created guys. Can we use INFOPASS to get an early interview ?

I'm AF35XXX, look like this year the numbers are faster for Africa, so getting prepared :)

Thanks for the awesome job done guys

Don't get too excited yet about speed. I think pace for AF is about to slow down either this month or next.

USCIS isn't going to be concerned about your sponsor's business partner and his tax issues.

Hi Sm1smom,
Thanks for all your help,
May i get your advice about sponsor, i have 2 options so far for my sponsor .

First. i just realized that my friend has 2 works, one of them is his own business ( this is the one he has tax return problem last 2 years ), other one his full time job and he has good income from his full time job.He says it can be risk to use his name because of tax return problem.

Second one, DV 2016 winner friend has been working in USA like 11 months thats why he doesnt have tax return yet. And he makes around $2200 monthly.
There is 2 options i have so far. Which one better for to sponsor.
I am so sorry for that long message.

I thought you said your friend's business partner was the one having the IRS issues. If your friend has been up to date with both his own business and full time job tax filing, I don't see what the issue is.

With your 2nd option being a new immigrant himself with less than one year of work history to go by, I'm not too sure how favorably an AOS from him might be viewed.

Anyway, you'll have to make your best judgment call on this.

Hi.
Should the status online change if the case got reopened? Still says denied. Wasn't sure how this works.
Thank you!

They typically do not update the online status as one would have expected. I would say pay them another visit in about two weeks' time if you haven't still haven't heard from them.

When you go on the INFOPASS, you should ask for an update and request to know if and when an interview will be taking place.

Sm1smom,

Sorry. i couldnt explain good enough it in the first message. My friend and his partner didnt do tax return last 2 years for their business thats why my friend says it can be problem for me an AOS.
 
I have finally received the 2ND email from KCC. Exactly 4 months! It's interesting that when I finished the payment and after receiving the DV fee receipt they sent it to me!

I see. You'll still have to make your own judgement call though.

If you do find yourself in a situation where one potential I-134 source hasn't completed obligatory tax filings for two years and the other has not done any tax filings so far whatsoever, the obvious recommendation would be to start looking for a serious alternative. You don't want to run the risk to be left empty handed, in case USCIS, after confirming the information, would reject any one or both of them and you rely on financial sponsoring to get your DV AoS application approved. Your friend obviously knows his tax situation with the IRS best, and I would take his assessment on the matter seriously.

You will not receive the bio result, it goes straight to your FO.

The original document in the foreign language it was issued in and a copy of the original translation already sent in.
 
Hi! I read some posts about falling out of status if applying for EAD through AOS and then being rejected, but I don't understand how this works. For example, J2s are allowed to request EAD (independent of AOS, simply as J2). I'm confused about what would happen if the EAD was requested as part of the AOS application but the AOS then got rejected. Would that mean that the former J2 would no longer be J2? What would be the implications? Any guidance is much appreciated!!
 
FYI: two days ago, I requested to expedite my I-485 processing due to USCIS error that rejected my application at first by mistake due to early filing (I called customer service and they submitted my request). FO approved my request two hours later and my application is now under expedited process. They said I should be hearing from them within 45 days. I hope earlier though.

Simply applying for an AOS based EAD card and a subsequent rejection of the AOS petition does not lead to a loss of status. What leads to a loss of status following and AOS petition denial is USING an AOS based EAD card to undertake authorized employment.

Anyway you should go through the following post which further explains this (the F1 scenario is also applicable to a J status holder):

That is a good one, but 45 days for expedited processing? What is the normal processing time then? :)
I have an info pass to visit them for next week, but I kind of hoping they will do something until then. Not enough that they made an error you still have to beg them to finally handle your case.

That is right. 45 days does not make sense for an expedited process. I also have got an infopass appointment for Dec 12th, in case that I don't get any news by then. Lets just hope :)
