DV 2018 AOS Only

Hi Mom,

I saw your DV 2018 AOS Timelines Google Spreadsheets, and would like to contribute by adding my own data points - how do I do that? I notice that the Sheet is locked.

If your income is lower than poverty level you should have form I-134 signed by US citizen or LPR.
In my case, my income was pretty low, I added affidavit, but the officer didn't ask any questions about it.

I see you're on H1B, IMO you don't need it (affidavit). Employment letter should be enough.

Thanks for the reply, my income is above the poverty line for our family.
The only problem my current contract is valid to the end of June, interview is scheduled on the beginning of June. I'm going to be reappointed and I hope my employer somehow indicates this in the letter.
 
Hi All,

I realized that maybe I got wrong which documents I should bring to the interview and would like to know your opinion.
Please see the photo of list with requested documents.

Thanks,
Andrii

I brought everything that was included in AOS package https://forums.immigration.com/threads/dv-2018-aos-only.336256/page-108#post-2471893
The officer may ask you to present I-134, your diploma, 1NL and birth certificate. So, it's better to bring more even if the officer doesn't ask for them.

Hello Sm1smom,

I just came back from my interview. The IO asked about the types of visas I held for the USA. I did mention G4, and explained that I had it to be able to come to the US on a work mission, as I used to work for an international institution and the mission was also to an international institution here in the US.
At the end of the interview he mentioned that I need to fillout forms I508 and I566. He explained that these forms are for people who are coming from a G4 status. I offered to leave and bring them without having to wait for a request in the mail. He accepted. I did bring the forms and left them with the front desk. I made sure that he got them before I left.

My question is, as I was filling out the form I understood that it was for people whose current status is G4, which is not my case. I have an F1 status.
1- Does this please make sense?
2- Do these forms apply for me?
3- Do you think this might slow down the decision?

Kindly advise.

Thank you as always for your kind support

1. No it doesn’t make sense, my understand also is they apply if that is your current status.
2. Makes no difference now, wether or not it applies to you. Your IO wants them, you comply, end of story.
3. It shouldn’t.

Use your discretion. Take everything and anything you think my be pertinent to your case. Take anything you can think of. Be over prepared.

Thank you for replying. Indeed, I did not want to argue. I did comply. Thank you again for your usual support

Hi Snaydsa,
We had our interview yesterday as well and the IO asked for I-508 and I-566 although I am an F-1. What a big coincidence. I had one entrance with an A-2 visa. He said that was the reason. I sent you a conversation request to discuss the details.
Thanks.

Mom, thank you very much for your answer to Snaydsa's question. We were very upset when we came home after the interview, and saw your message. It gave us hope and strength.

Thanks.

Hi Snaydsa,

I read through your post and notice we are in same state and same FO too. Could you please tell the date you receive your interview letter? Thanks.
 
VB is in, I'm so disappointed as I am so unbelievably close. It means I will be in next month's, but submission won't be until 1st August now, cutting it fine to be approved by Sept 30th. Should I be worried?
I'm OC120*.
Thanks!
 
Also on your package details on the spreadsheet it says to use form I-485 6/26/17 edition, however on USCIS the form's edition is 12/13/17. Is that one the correct on to use? Thank you!

I don’t know.
And why do you have to wait until Aug 1st to submit AOS package considering time isn’t quite on your side?

Use whatever the most current edition you find on USCIS’s website.

Our number will go current for August. As people's AOS packages have been rejected for early filing, I didn't think I should. Would your advice be to file early? Thank you.

I don't think that's a fair question (maybe @Sm1smom will prove me wrong). If you have a specific question about early filing that is not covered by the AOS spreadsheet, ask. Ultimately though it's your and only your choice to make.
