In fact I don't knwo how this would effect my case so far, when the officer asked me I said yes and then he asked me what kind of benefits I received I told him the schools of my kids, he didn't seems as paid any attention for my response and went through the rest of my application questions.
I didn't receive any feedback yet from them hopefully it is not big deal.

Thank you for your reply..and I really wish you the best of luck. Hope things will get through and you will get approved soon :) You gave me some relief...i thought receiving benefits will cause the case to be denied or reject. I hope not.
Thanks again

As I heard it is big deal when you abused the public benefits usage and keep receiving it in wide range.
Cross your fingers & see what this could deliver to my case.
Keep praying bro.

Sure..that make sense. In my case, i didn't apply for medicaid myself..instead when i applied on marketplace they approved me on medicaid since i was not employed and i didn't have income...now that i am working I immidiately informed medicaid to stop it..but they did not !
Anyway i don't want to bother you more with this ...and i really appreciate your reply
Finger crossed..things will be ok.

Hi mom,
Thank you for the great effort and your time to help us going through the process.
My wife and I had our interview on 7/26 and the interview was straight forward and went smooth and the IO said it likely will be approve but she need to show her supervisor to review before final approval and she said it may take 1-3 weeks to get the final decision. Anyway today after two weeks we went in infopass to see what is going on and the IO officer who met us said our background security check from FBI is still pending that why decision is not taken yet in our case.

So my question is:
1) Is it possible to expedite FBI security clearance for DV AOSers as time running out?
2) If yes, How?

I have seen such thing in the spreadsheet in the section of AOS vs CP?

Thank you so much for your time and really appreciate your kind help
 
hi all,
I got my interview letter today and it's scheduled for 9/13. Asia region, NY FO. It says I need to bring the original birth cert. I plan to still attend the infopass on 8/16 to enquire about the background check status, and bring all my documents.

Hi MOM!

I am so happy this morning when I see New Card Is Being Produced I called KCC yesterday and they said USCIS has requested my case and they have transferred right away. Hopefully, I am getting my GC within next week as I haven't applied EAD or PAROLE card(No idea how long does it take to arrive in the mailbox though). I am very thankful to MOM who is suggesting people here selflessly. I have a few questions regarding my FTJ(Following to Join):

I put my USC sister as a sponsor by filling form I-134 and submitted her PP copy along with her and her husband joint tax filing paper(not the transcript, it has almost 20 pages).
1) How to process for my spouse and child for CP as FTJ?
2) What are the documents to be sent as sponsorship? In the form I-134 that I submitted, she has mentioned my wife and my child too.
3) I am planning to send her following documents:
i) The first letter ( DV Selection letter)
ii) DS-260 confirmation page (my wife and my child)
iii) My PP copy with photo page, f1 visa page, POE stamp page
iv) AOS letter from KCC
v) And I-797 NOA once it comes to me but not sure without this she can go to the embassy
And I will be asking her to have her and child
i) PP
ii) Academic Docs
iii) Police report (both hers and child's)

Please suggest me on this if I again have to make a followup with USCIS or what exact process do i need to make further.

Thanks again mom for providing help which is life changing!!

Congratulations on your AOS completion.

Your case file needs to be sent by your FO to the US embassy with jurisdiction over your wife’s home country (or where she’s residing) in order for her and child to process FTJ. In order for your FO to forward your case file to the embassy, you need to file an I-824, current filing fee for this is $465. You can however visit your FO to inform them in person that your derivatives are filing FTJ and see if they are willing to collect the I-824 directly from you without you mailing it in or paying the filing fee.

When the embassy receives your case file, they will schedule the interview (based on their workload) and contact your wife letting her know when to appear for the interview.

The FOs, at their own discretion, sends in expedite requests when the FY is close to coming to an end.

Hi all!,

1)Are interview letters sent from National benefit Center or from the relevant FO. I meant what do you see for the sender address on the IL envelope ?

2) Can we receive an IL even before the background search is complete ?

Thanks

1) They are sent from FO and are signed by FO Director.
2) Some FOs do that. AFAIR e.g. Houston, TX. Read this thread, I remember at least one person reporting that.
 
We had our AOS interview last Wednesday. Officer said in the end that he doesn't have a problem approving our case. But he should check with the DOS for availability of visas. He also said that he will be re-reviewing our case and will let us know if anything else is needed. 3 days have passed and we don't see any updates online. Do you think we should just wait and see or is it ok we make an infopass appointment and go there to ask about this?
