DV 2018 AOS Only

Britsimon said:
Well the READY status only appears for cases scheduled. Since AOS cases don't get scheduled this is actually unusual, but it is (hopefully) what they have done for the I-824 case. Susie had piointed out it is very late to be scheduled - and I think that is a good point pointing to an I-824 process, BUT there is also a chance that they are expected a DV consular interview. So - check that with the embassy, and take paperwork and full understanding of the I-824 process.

Thank you Simon! , Yes my uncertainty is not over yet. I am expecting I-824 approval notice by tomorrow. If it is approved, I believe they have taken action to inform the embassy about my approval and begin FTJ. The KCC sent me 2NL on July 6th indicating that they aware of my AOS filing. But that also due to the fact that I paid my DOS fee for the AOS filing for both. We submitted the DS260 on July 12th indicating the different interview locations USCIS and home country embassy. The bottom line is, KCC must have some record that I have done AOS, thus no reason to schedule and an interview for me as well.
In away this makes my life easy, because she doesn't have to wait for embassy to schedule an interview. KCC has already done that.

As Simon says, I think this may be the general route they take if I-824 take in to action. Otherwise I can not understand the reason why submit I-824, if KCC can schedule an interview this way. They have sent me the interview letter including my name and my wife as beneficiary. So I hope they will go ahead and interview her without me.

I have attempted twice to contact the embassy , but lately, who ever responsible for replying for the emails is neglecting my emails. (luckily KCC has scheduled and interview for us) .

I ll update if something new occurs !

btw I wanted to ask this from you. In a typical CP case, READY means they have allotted visa number. is that correct ?
 
Hi Mom,

1) Are the updates on your online account pushed through manually by an USCIS employee?
2) In other words, should I only be expecting to receive an update only during regular business hours?
3) I received the same message from USCIS that Omar had posted about ("Initial Review"). I was interviewed by a senior IO and was wondering if that level of employee does not have the "power" to approve on the spot? Or they can but in my case they just didn't?

Thanks :)

You do realize I don’t work for USCIS, right? So don’t expect me to know the technical details of every tiny little bit of what they do or how they operate.
 
Mom & Simon,

Just wanted to give an update. Usually I don't like to make a drama here, But wanted to share my experience so that somebody like me could be benefited in the future.

So I contacted the KCC this morning and asked if they can look up my case number and see what is going on. The KCC told me that USCIS has sent a notice saying that I have adjusted the status and spouse needs to FTJ. Therefore they have scheduled an interview. The reason why I've been schedule is because I am in the system for CP (weird o_O). which I never did. But I didn't dig further because, USCIS has placed a noticed in the file sent to the embassy, that all I cared.

Apparently my I-485 and I-824 has been approved on the same day of my interview.

And the person said, everything is on track. :). So I think I am all good for now.

Thanks

Yup - that makes perfect sense.

Thanks for the update. However, I’m not surprised because I already stated yesterday in my last response to you that you showing up as READY with your wife in CEAC is not unusual IMO. You submitted an I-824, you got confirmation the form was already processed. The only difference is that the embassy did not directly schedule the interview and contact your wife, while KCC scheduled the interview and sent you the notification since you’re the main selectee which is the normal process for CP. That being the case, you showing up as READY was a no brainer to me because I didn’t think KCC will leave your status as NVC (or whatever the starting status in CEAC is) while your wife’s own shows ready.
