DV 2017 AOS Only

i have one more question are we obligated to send our tax return transcripts and W-2? if yes , from which year 2016 or 2017? for AOS

You're not obligated to send tax transcripts or returns. As a matter of fact, you're not obligated to send any of the supporting documents listed on the AOS process spreadsheet.

Hi Mom,

Do you think the AOS in its entirety will get affected by this EO ? Will USCIS process be delayed for everyone ?
 
Hi, I am CN 2017SA00018xx and wanted to know two things.

1. Do you think my number will be available by the deadline? (I understand this isn't a guarantee, just curious based on the patterns you know.
2. I have a LPR who is willing to sponsor me in the affidavit of support. However, he will be married at the end of this year and will also need to support his wife-to-be. Will him sponsoring two people cause any conflicts?

Thank you for your help!
 
Hi Forum ,

For the Dallas FO, it is processing cases as of March 14, 2016 for Adjustment of Status. So when USCIS receives our package which is already in 2017 how will they process our case ? Will we get the process completed even though the processing is so slow in Dallas ?


How do you know which cases your FO is processing at the time? I am in the Atlanta office and would love this information. Thanks so much!
 
Hi. In the instruction it specifies which doc should ne included as copy or original. However, I am not sure if I should include the copy of the translation of the either birth certificate or high school diploma or the original that I received from notarized transaltor? Please advise

1. Do you know why there are two years on the timeline spreadsheet that never made it to "current"? what is the probability of this occuring this year, as well?
2. I have a LPR who is willing to sponsor me in the affidavit of support. However, he will be married at the end of this year and will also need to support his wife-to-be. Will him sponsoring two people cause any conflicts?

Thank you for your help!

1. I don't know.

2. It shouldn't cause any conflict provided his annual income is above the poverty guideline level applicable to his household and that of the person/people he's submitting an affidavit of support for.
 
Also a question regarding AOS package: it lists affidavit of support. I am in USA for 10 years already, finished school, worked, right now I don't work and go to GRE school. Do I need to submit any sort of affidavit of support? Thanks in advance!

USCIS has a site for monitoring cases. However the AOS information on that site is not applicable to DV based AOS cases - so I'm not sure if that information will be of any use to you.

If you want to get an idea of how long your FO takes in adjudicating DV based AOS petitions, I suggest you take a look at the Timelines spreadsheets we've put together here. You can find the links to the couple of Timelines we have from one of the tabs on the AOS process spreadsheet.

For translated documents, the original translated version should be submitted with a copy of the actual document in foreign language. Be sure to make a copy of the translated version and keep for your self - you take that copy to the interview.

1. I don't understand what you mean by "two years on the Timeline spreadsheet that never made it to "current"'.

2. Already answered in a previous post.

p.s. Exercise some patience for your post/question to get answered. Don't duplicate posts/questions.

If you have other means of proving you're not likely to become a public charge (in terms of having a substantial amount of savings), you may not need to present an affidavit of support.

Thanks so much mom! and sorry! I thought it hadn't posted the first time.
For the first question, I was referencing the Historical Visa Bulletin numbers on Britsimon's blog.
In 2014 and 2015, the numbers stopped at 1750 and 1350, respectively, and the bulletin never became CURRENT for all numbers. Was there a reason this happened those years, and is there a possibility it will happen this year?

Thanks again!
 
Thank you for creating this excellent spreadsheet, helped a lot in preparing our package for AOS. I have question regarding form I-134:

my wife is DV 2017 selectee, we are already in US because of my work visa (L1), should I complete I-134 stating that I am going to support my wife, me and our kid or just include financial documents?

You can check it through the USCIS website. On google just type in Atlanta FO Processing time, and on the bottom of the page you can select the Atlanta FO and click the Field Office Processing Time button. This will display the processing cases of the FO
 
Another question is that we didn't receive 2NL from KCC, what is the process? We filed I-260, on all application mentioned that we are going to go through AOP because we are already in US.

All the regions didn't become current because they maxed out on the number of visas available. They never guarantee all the regions will become current in any given year since they always select more people above the number of visas available.

Just include your financial documents in this case. The assumption is your earnings and income are jointly owned.
