DV 2018 AOS Only

Hi Mom,

Today it has been exactly 2 weeks since we did the biometrics and we have not heard back yet (IL). And I know, for now it is still relatively early since it has "only" been 2 weeks. Nonetheless I checked for an Infopass appointment and there are none available at all for the next 2 weeks.

1) Do these appointments generally become available on a rolling basis, meaning, the next ones would become available for 2 + weeks from now, or could they also become available for before (as in if someone cancels, etc)?
2) If the former, that means there is a lead time of 2 weeks, which makes it hard to get in touch with the USCIS. Would you suggest to possibly call them earlier to see if they have any updates in regards to my case?

I think I read that you suggested to check for appointments at "strange" hours such as 2 or 3 am.. I will do that as well.
Thank you~
Last time I found infopass appointment available around 10 pm or close to midnight. Update the page frequently
 
Hi mom,,
I did bio 2 weeks ago and now Im eating for IL.
In the spreadsheet, there are 5 form San Diego, just one who wrote the date for the interview notice received and the date.
the rest did not. They only wrote the GC received date.
1- Do you think they received the GC without interview?
2- From your knowledge and experience, how lone the process will take for San Diego office?
3- If the interview is waived, how do I know?


thanks.

1. It doesn’t mean they received the GC without an interview. It just means they never bothered to return and update the spreadsheets, just like you haven’t bothered to put your information on the 2018 spreadsheet also.
2. You already have access to the same information I have access to determine processing time, utilize it. You already information from one complete case, that gives you the information you need. And you filed less than one month ago by the way.
3. You’ll receive the GC without an interview.
 
Hi mom,
I hope you are doing good?.
I called USCIS on Friday the were not helpful the employee refused to refer me to supervisor, and she told me informations that I already can find it online and she told me that don’t be worry since you you sent your application for AOS , you still able to get your visa even after September 30th, I told her you are wrong, DV lottery policy says that there is no benefit of your visa after that date, so I scheduled an infopass on August 6th.
1-Can you tell me the best way to talk to an officer and to know if my background check is done or not?.
2-should I take all documents with me or not?.

It helps if you guys spend some time reading what others already posted on the thread instead of showing up in the forum to post just your own questions.

Wow, so similar then! Please update the timeline, that would be great allowing me to see you case as well as help others :)
 
I will, but idk how to write in the spreadsheet.

When you are on the spreadsheet there should be a blue box stating "View Only" (on the top of the page). If you click on it there should be the option for "Request Edit Access". Mom will then accept that request and you can make the update in the spreadsheet.

Thanks!

Congrats bro. Did you get any update online ?

Thanks Yosef!

No, no updates online. Just the letter arrived. I was terrified if it was an RFE (as we didn’t send the I-693 with our AOS application), but luckily it turned out to be the IL.

I actually haven’t received any updates online besides the initial “Fingerprint fee received”.

USCIS website never update correctly - at least for my case and my spouse. Even after interview, our still shown"fingerprint fee receive"
Congrats for the IL! Be calm and read thru the spread sheet also others interview story, it will help you out
