DV 2018 AOS Only

Update! :)
"On August 24, 2018, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number MSC******** and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to give us your new mailing address."

I would like to give special thanks to @mom and britsimon for the tremendous support and advice you offer to everyone on this forum. You are the true heroes! May god bless you!
Congrats
 
You revert back to asylum pending now, correct?

I agree with mom, please post actual reasons for your denial once you officially know what they are, it is possible that there is a difference between the cases approved and yours.
Yes I am, but I can guarantee the reason is going to be (over stay), the same reason sent last year for a guy I know in my area.
 
I would like to thank to @Sm1smom and @Britsimon for their time in helping and supporting us through the DV process. I received my GC yesterday. It is quite interesting that I did not get status updates through my USCIS accounts though I have two seperate accounts. After our interviews, my husband received the CPO update and I learnt that my case was approved and a card was requested for me during my infopass appointment. I will request access to the spreadsheet and update my journey more in detail. Best wishes to everyone!
 
Hi everybody,
My interview in on this Monday (27th) and based on what I recently checked from KCC, I found that my FO has not requested my case yet, I am wondering to know whether is there anything to be worry about?
Any thought and suggestion for the interview will be appreciated,

Hello All, (This is an Update)

I sent my AOS Package on the 14th, and on the 21st I received text and email at night saying they accepted my package.

I went online and created an account and this is what I see:
On August 21, 2018, we accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxxxxx. Our National Benefits Center location is working on your case. We mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

I also called money order, and they said checks were cleared means cashed on the 23rd. Now I assume my package was accepted and will keep checking my email, mail, texts to receive BIO's and Interview. I guess at this point I just have to wait and pray.

Thank you all, (especially mom). I will update you all later.

I had the same situation when I went my interview. The IO told me he does not need to request KCC because every things look fine to him. They can also request after interview if they need to.

I edited your post to hide your receipt number. You shouldn’t be posting such personal information in a public forum, anyone can look up your case with Just the receipt number you posted.
 
My interview experience;
I decided to share my experience to people who might apply there case through Albuquerque FO.
I got the FO 10 min earlier than my interview and they took the picture and fingerprint. The IO called me after 20 min. He was nice and friendly and apologized me for rescheduling my interview because of my check name. He asked all Yes and No questions though i485. and asked me the last year tax return because I did not send them with my package in Jan. He asked me the first letter that shows I have been selected in DV since he did not have a clear copy.
The only problem was my medical that was expired a month before my interview and over 3 infopasses officers asked manager and the reassured me that it would be fine!!!
But, you know, it is US government and not really reliable to be consistent like their online case status ;)
He told me I have to get a new medical because of the date and also the Dr who signed my medical is not working with USCIS anymore. I had done my tests before the interview and got the Dr appointment and I could drop my medical a day after my interview.
My case got updated after 5 work days but it is just saying my status is updated and no more.

I hope it is a good news after about 7 month waiting. Thanks everyone who helped me here.
Finger cross for all of you.

Remember my response regarding your medical exam back in June? Hate to say, “I told you so”

If your medical is over 1 year by the time of your interview, you’ll probably be asked to present a new medical form. So you may go ahead and do a new one now, or wait till you receive your IL and redo it (if it’s over 1 year) and take the new one along for the interview.

Oops. My bad. Thank you mom. I truly believe that in this forum people are nice and honest but you are right and I did not notice that I just copied everything.

Thanks

Mom, I have 2 friends from High School back in my Home country. One of them got a citizenship and another one is waiting for it.

Do you think it would be better if I ask one of them to sign I-134 for me and I could bring it to my interview? Or is it too late now ?

Thanks

Better to be over prepared for the interview - it never hurts to attend the interview with an I-134.

I hope they are nice and honest :) but the forum is public and anyone can read it without registering or posting -

Yes for sure. I was shocked when Mom told me that, but again mom just edited and prevented bad things from happening. She is so fast damn :)

Sure, He just said "Yes I can do that for you".

Is there anyway to submit it before interview or just take it to the interview. I guess the question is will I have enough time on the interview until they run I-134 there? Like what if they would want to give me a GC and could not because they would need time to process I-134 ?

Thanks

I already told you to take it to the interview (if you get to that stage before Sept. 30th). That’s the only option available to you.
 
When I open my account to check my status at the bottom of the website I found this sentence:

We will notify you if your document cannot be produced and provide any instructions.
Is that normal ?.
