What do you need a priority date for? Priority dates are not applicable to DV based petitions.

Whose address did you put on the forms in your AOS package? Do you live with your sister?
I saw that in Cover letter sample. there are 2 dates that one of them I think is my current month and another one is propriety date.

For the purpose of that letter, if your CN is current in February, your priority date is February 1st.

The GC gets sent to the address on the I-485, not the address on the DS-260 Form for AOSers. So whatever address you have on the DS Form isn’t really relevant.

No, you can’t select a preferred FO. Your FO will be based on your home address.
So in this statement "Advanced Notification section of the August 2014 (use your applicable month/year in place of the August date sample) Visa Bulletin, the priority date for my case number is July 1st, 2015." both dates are Feb 1st in my case?

No, they’re not! The first date refers to the issue date of the actual VB. What is the displayed month and year on the DOS’s website for the VB that shows you’re current in Feb?
Oh I see. it is December. Thanks

hello and happy holidays! 
I just recently sent in a cashiers check for the payment of the administrative fee ($330) to the DOS. I did enclose a dated envelope so the receipt will be mailed back to me, but I just remembered that I forgot to send a stamp with... Do you think they will send the receipt back to me/ will this delay receiving the receipt? should I send in a stamp late?

Nope, not likely to receive the payment receipt by mail without a SAE.

Well, I did send a self-addressed envelope, I just forgot to get a stamp on it... Shoot! Should I try sending just a self-addressed envelope in tomorrow so I can receive the payment receipt? What would you recommend doing in this situation?
Hi,
My wife is a lottery winner. And, we will be current in February. I am finalizing my I-485. however, I have a question about items 25 and 27, part 8 at page 10 of the I-485 ("Have you ever been arrested, cited, charged, or detained for any reason by any law enforcement official?" and "Have you ever pled guilty to or been convicted of a crime or offense").
I received a speeding ticket for 5 mph over the speed limit last year. As a result, I pled guilty to the online court, paid the fine and took an online traffic course. The total amount that I paid for the court fee, the fine, and the course was $148. So, should I mark "yes" for items 25 and 27 of the mentioned part of form I-485?
Thanks and happy holidays

When I wrote SAE in my previous post, I was referring to a Stamped Addressed Envelope, not a self addressed envelope which I clearly understood you sent.
Sendimg a follow up SAE is pointless. You however can email KCC and request for a copy of the receipt

There are two school of thoughts regarding these questions. Some legal experts are of the opinion that traffic offense do not need to be declared if the associated fine is less than $500. Some on the other hand feels it should be reported/declared on the form. So I honestly can’t give you a yes or no response on this. If you decide to report it, just be sure you have all your paper works related to the citation on hand for your interview.
