Do you have a GC through AOS already? If so you can sponsor your spouse on F2A, it’s longer than as a DV FTJ but at least still an option.

Not yet. My application is still under process and I am from Asia (not from travel banned countries) . I am hoping for the best to get the GC for my wife within this FY. With this new visa run out story, things getting even scarier.
I have seen in a previous year timeline sheet, someone has got his GC through AOS on Sep 23rd and processed FTJ for the spouse on Sep 28th.
Thanks
Unfortunately,this year is a different story and I think it is hard to build our thoughts based on what happened in previous years.
Sad to say that
Hi Mom,
I need your thoughts on this:
I'm currently waiting for my IL invitation. My number EU159xx became current in May. I had the biometrics done July 18.
1. Seeing AOSers don't get pre-allocated visas and the timing. Would you suggest to switch from AOS to CP? My lawyer suggested that or try letting the congressman expedite the case.
2. Would there be any visa allocated if switched to CP for the interview?
Your input would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

As the letter linked to previously should make clear, all interviews and visa numbers for CP have already been allocated right through the end of the FY. CP is scheduled 2 months in advance.
So this new development of visas having been assigned and AOSers not being pre-allocated visas, can mean there could be no visas available for AOSers at this point? Are AOSers treated as AP for CP?
Will that affect AOSers? Maybe no visas were left for them since they are not pre-allocated?

Hi Mom, thanks so much for all your valuable info! I had my AOS interview on Thursday last week, at the end of the interview the IO said it was approved and I would get the card in two weeks. My case status changed to CPO the same day and yesterday I received an I-797 approval notice in the mail saying my application to adjust to permanent residency had been approved (I don’t think this was technically the welcome letter since it looked different to welcome letters I’d seen online before). My case status online hasn’t changed from
CPO yet so I don’t think the card has been sent out yet. In light of the last day’s developments about visas running out I’m just wondering if my GC can fall over at this point? Or would I have been assigned a visa in the system already? I’m in the OC region. Thank you so much!

1. It’s not a new development, that’s how the process has always been. There’s always the possibility of them running out of visas for AOSers, it has happened before but not this early though.
2. AOSers are not treated as AP for CP - AOS process is different from CP.
p.s. always number your questions.

To the best of my knowledge, CPO update only shows up after the visa reservation has been made. I believe your GC should be showing up shortly.

1. It’s too late for you to switch to CP, your lawyer obviously doesn’t understand the process. KCC has already scheduled CP September interviews. Your congress person can’t expedite your case either, they can only do a case follow up inquiry. You should go on an INFOPASS to follow up in person.
2. See 1 above.
Curious to know when you actually filed though since your CN was current in May and you did bio in mid July.

There’s a possibility of that happening - visas are not reserved for AOSers even when an interview has been scheduled. I encourage you to still attend your interview though.

When Asia gets current doesn’t that mean that there are enough visas available ?.
i have another question if you don’t mind

In theory yes. In practice, not always.
Although KCC does not process DS260 forms for AOSers and does not typically pre-allocate visas for them since they do not schedule their interview, I believe a slight allowance is still made for them when reviewing the number of visas they have. However, AOSers who didn’t bother to submit the DS260 form makes planning difficult for KCC. Derivatives who get added at the last minute both for AOS and CP impacts the number of visas previously thought available. Late DS260 submission by those processing CP also has to be factored in. There are several factors that can impact the theory of “a region going current means enough visas are available”

HiBritsmon
why different regions have different scenarios. Like AS cannot run out, and EU will exceed as such? any insights here? Thank you!
