I've lost track of how many times we've discussed the fact that the USCIS online tracking is not applicable to DV based AOS petitions which is we we try to put together the Timeline spreadsheets for people to reference and update their own timelines for others to also benefit from.

One of the tabs on the AOS process spreadsheet has all of these explanations - it explains who does what and at what stage. Please refer to it for further guidance.

Hi Mom,
I did exactly what is written in Adjustment of Status Fee Payment website (A cashier’s check, self addressed envelope, all information filled) for the AOS fee and currently waiting for the receipt but it has been 5 weeks and I have not received it yet. My number is active now and I prepared everything but according to the sheet, I have to include my receipt too. What would you suggest me to do, is there any number that I can call and ask about this? Is it possible to send my application without this receipt? By the way, I have asked my bank and I know that the check was cashed a month ago. Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.

You can email KCC to let them know you didn't receive your receipt, they will email it to you.
And yes, it is possible to send the package without the receipt.
Just wondering, went and did my biometrics and now waiting for the interview letter. Just to make sure, in the biometrics I went and got my fingerprints and picture taken. Then I was given my stamped appointment letter back with some papers. Is there anything I need to do now? Do I need to mail these papers to uscis? Or do nothing and wait for the interview letter?

Yes there was a fee increase effective Dec. 23rd. No, it's not too late to send in the package with the correct AOS fee - $1,225
Hello mom,
Thank you very much for your help. I have another question: If I am doing AOS and I am eligible for the green card through the education option but not the 2 years employment option, would I still need to submit all the relevant employment documents and evidence of financial support in the AOS Package sheet because I do not see these documents in Supporting Evidence for Form I-485 in USCIS website. I was wondering if I would submit these to increase the chance of acceptence or they must be submitted no matter what. I appreciate your suggestions, thanks a lot.

Evidence of financial support documents suggested on the AOS process spreadsheet is for proving one is financially stable and wouldn't become a public charge, it has nothing to do with qualifying for the DV selection work wise.

Hi mom,
I would like to know if 7 Muslim-Majority nations are affected even if they are already in the U.S.? So does that mean that they cannot send an AOS package anymore? And those who are waiting for an interview letter in the U.S., are they going to have to wait three more months?
Thanks

I honestly don't know how USCIS will treat the cases of those from the 7 listed countries who already sent in their AOS package. My gut feeling is there will also be a knee-jerk reaction to those and their interview/adjudication process will also get put on hold.
As for those who are not yet current or are yet to send in their AOS package, I'm sorry I'm unable to guide them on what to do at this point. They will have to decide on their own, or consult with an attorney to determine whether they should send in their package or not. I find this whole EO odious. I'm repulsed by its reach and I'm struggling really hard to hold myself together and not vent about it. All I can is it sucks big time and I'm truly sorry for the innocent ones that are directly impacted.
