DV 2018 AOS Only

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 ?.

You enjoy torturing yourself?
 
Hi Everybody,
As I mentioned earlier, my interview is tomorrow and I am preparing myself for that. I have a question about Yes and No section of form I-485. In this section there is a question asking "have you ever been arrested, cited, charged, or detained for any reason by any law enforcement official?"
My answer was No when I sent may package to USCIS, but I just remembered that once I received a parking ticket (20$) in 2017. Do you think in the interview I need to mention it?

Thanks for all of your support,

Mentioning it will not harm you!. I mentioned something similar. But IO did not concern about it. Don't expect IO to read the exact sentences of the I-485.
good luck!

I had a ticket and honestly I did not remember myself because it is not a crime

Mention the ticket when you get to the Yes or No questions and let the IO make the determination what the correct response should have been.

A traffic ticket is not a big deal. I was asked if I had a traffic violation or ever received a ticket and said yes, I got ticketed for driving 40mph at a 30mph limit. The IO didn't think it's a biggie at all. Simple traffic violations shouldn't give you any issues with your application.

Hi MOM,

-------- There is a unfortunate contradiction between two offices. Here is all explanation ----

I went to asylum office last week and they said that my A-file has been transferred to Baltimore Field Office. I have the proof of the paper given by asylum office that my A-file is at Baltimore office.

And two days later I wen to infopass and lady in the front desk said me that they have been waiting for A-file before adjusting our case. I showed the paper of asylum office that they have sent the A-file to Baltimore field office. But she replied that I have seen in the computer that they are auditing your file at their office yesterday and we do not receive your file. She gave me the paper mentioning that they are waiting for A-file for our case and is not received yet!.

While I talked with the officer in window, she mentioned that your file has already looked by two different supervisors and still waiting for A-file.

I tell her to speak with the supervisor of their office. After a long wait I got the chance to meet with supervisor and she was also lady and looks like she is also immigrant.

I have asked her about the contradiction that one office says that file had sent and other replied that they do not received. I added that if the file was lost I can give you all the original documentation of our asylum case.

But the supervisor gave me very very diplomatic answer, she do not want to give me the yes no answer about either the file was really received at office or not. Neither she talked about the contradiction.

Supervisor said that

1) there are several processes before we put all your files in the officer desk.

2) We have to find everything is correct or not and you have done anything wrong or not.

3) We have to check that you are still in status or not and many of things.

4) This is not the part of your job, we will do it and you just have to wait. We are working on your file.

5) As soon as we done, you will hear from us.

These are the main points that she replied to us. Sometimes she tried to meant that the file may receive at office but not handover to the actual officer because the checking process is going on. I asked 3/4 times that can you please tell either the file is received or not. But she do not want to give answer instead she said that I can not tell everything.

My Question:

1) I am sorry I don’t know what question should be asked to you at this situation MOM. I am expecting some suggestion from you and what could be happen in our cases as far as you analyze. Is there anything what I could do from my side?

2) I am planning to go to the asylum office again next Wednesday and asked about such contradiction. Do you think is it necessary?

3) Can congressmen do anything for us? Should we meet him again?

I have infopass for all every other week till September end, if I hear anything I will update the info for all you guys and MOM!

Thank you MOM for your precious time!

The question isn’t asking if one has committed a crime, so I recommend you be careful with your response so as to not misguide people with your response.

It’s possible your FO already received the asylum file, but are yet to update the system in their system or forward it to your IO. Have you contacted the ombudsman’s office? Did you previously contact your congressman’s office? What did they say?
 
Have you contacted the ombudsman’s office?
No, i do not.
Did you previously contact your congressman’s office? What did they say?
Yes i did. They (Congressmen office) said that we send expedite request and USCIS will response us within 30 days. And congressmen did not receive any response from USCIS yet!
Congressmen office send the expedite request on 8th August.

I also understood the same thing from the supervisor words. But i am not sure they did or not.
1) Is it the procedure how they proceed the file in USCIS? I mean files are looked by the supervisor and then only handover to the actual IO.
 
Hi everyone, does new card is being mean that I’m geting the green card? I had my interview today and my case is AF50xxx after reading all over forums I lost all hopes but did all the steps regardless without much hope, even after the interview with no clear answers from the agent I wasn’t thinking I could get it. Please is it real? Do I have a chance???
 
No, i do not.

You didn’t contact the ombudsman’s office even though I suggested you do so about a month ago? Well I don’t have any other guidance to provide in that case.

If your online status shows new card is being produced, it means your case has been approved. When did you file your AOS petition?

As soon as AF became current I gathered my file and sent the whole package in July 2nd thanks to your spreadsheet. That was my main guidance. I did my bio three weeks later and since then my online status didn’t change until now, several hours after my interview.
