Thanks, mom.
For your recommendation, we still need to provide bank statement and offer letter? Because I see the I-485 instruction says that for DV lottery winner doesn't need to provide financial documents.

The expectation regardless of what the I-485 says is for anyone filing an AOS petition to be able to overcome a public charge presumption. That instruction hasn’t stopped some IOs from asking DV based AOSers for financial documents now and then.
So you can either be proactive by providing that information upfront, or wait to see if it will be requested - your call on which approach to go by.
In your opinion, should I bother contacting KCC to amend the DS-260. I am only concerned that it may cause some sort of delay to my reaching the interview stage. Do you see this occuring, in your opinion?
If it is not going to cause an issue or delay to my I-485 submission, and me reaching the interview, I wont worry. I can simply explain it to the interviewer then...
2. One final question on Affidavit i-134
My sponser has provided the filled out form and all support materials - I note in the Spreadsheet, it says to provide a W2. However, in the instructions for I-134 I can see no mention of the W2. Do I need this from the sponsor too?
He has provided - Tax return,
Bank Letters of Date account opened and details on deposits and balance
Letters from employer about job, fulltime and payment
That seems to be all required in the i-134 instructions, do I need his W2 also?
Thanks again.

1. Don’t you think if this was going to create some issue I would have outrightly responded by asking you to update the information right away?
2. The supporting documents from your sponsor are good enough, you’ll be fine without the W2. The AOS process spreadsheet is really a guidance document intended meant for simplifying the process.
1. Thanks for your advice. I don’t know your mind, so i don’t cant speak to what you are thinking. I am simply asking questions about topics I have no real experience with. Thus why I ask for you to explain. When you simply respond with ‘yes’ ‘no’ answers without explaining, that is really only half the answer. Undersranding the whys and yourmopinion on the why help to create a full picture.
I am not trying to be difficult, or a douche, i a, sincerely asking for help. No need to be so curt about it. Ima, sure there are things in your life that you know very little about, and you have needed others to explain the whys and hows, not just yes and no...
2. Thankyou formadvising on that. That means a lot.
Thanks for all your help.

I clearly didn’t give a give a “yes” or “no” response to that specific question. I most certainly explained the fact that an explanatory note wasn’t necessary but you could go ahead and unlock your DS 260 form if the error was bothering you. Yes I realize you’re asking questions because you’re trying to understand the process, and I appreciate that. What I don’t appreciate is being asked to explain myself over and over again. It really gets tiring.
Hi Mom,
Thank you so much for your precious help. I'm sorry to bother though. I have a little question and I'd like to have an advice. As I said before, I'm filling for AOS soon. I'm on F1 visa and I want to apply in a Med school program next year. That program requires me to volunteer in Hospitals before applying.(I'll mention it of course in the volunteering part of the I-485). But Do you think that volunteering in a hospital now would be a problem while my DV process? Would it affect in anyway my AOS?I googled it but it's a bit unclear to me (volunteering for non-profit organization seems ok but i don't know about hospitals).
Once again, thank you for your help and your time,
Best,

All good - I will be submitting today, so no more questions from me.
...For my final final query - I am doing the last check of the 1-134. In Part 3, Question 38 - It asks if the sponsor intends 'to' or 'not' to provide specific contributions...
This one is a little confusing - My sponsor is providing the Affidavit to support me should I fall into financial disrepair. However, there is not specific contribution like rent, etc...unless I fall into financial hardship.
Currently, my sponsor has neither ticked 'intend' or 'not'. Is that the best option, or should we tick yes, or no?
Can you advise on this if you have any experience with this?

I’m sorry I’m unable to guide you on what impact volunteering in a hospital program may or may not have on your status, this question is outside the realms of the DV process guide I provide.

Your sponsor is expected to select the “I intend” option and explain their intention to assist should you fall into financial difficulties. They do not have to provide information on a specific amount.
p.s. can you stop prefacing your questions with “final question”, “final query”, etc.? We both know it’s not going to be your last/final question, so I really don’t see a need for the phrase, it’s not going to move me into responding if I do not wish to respond.
Okay - thanks for that. I am glad I asked. I will try and get on to him ASAP.
Thanks for that
All the best.
Thank you through for your answer. I was just trying to avoid my volunteering to be mistaken as illegal work or to be a problem.
Thanks once again

Recommendation is to both do the medical with the same civil surgeon in Texas. You don’t want to create the impression you guys are not living together.

It might be, you should check with the international office at your school whether it violates the terms of your visa. Not all volunteering is allowed on NIVs.Thank you through for your answer. I was just trying to avoid my volunteering to be mistaken as illegal work or to be a problem.

Best,
What if we both do our medical in Illinois and file AOS from Texas?

It probably shouldn’t be a problem. But if I was in your shoes, I will get the medical done with a CS in the State I’m applying from - the opportunity is way too important to give any reason to doubt my residency and potentially delay the approval process. Plus going back to the CS, if there’s an issue with the medical report, is easier if the CS is based in the State of my residency.
I asked them and they don't know. They told me that they think it's ok but they wouldn't recommend it because of the political climate. That's all I was told. I don't want it to be a problem while my AOS process especially since in the I-485, there is a part where it is asked to list all organizations, societies, associations etc. I've been member of the Red Cross in my country so I'll list it but for hospitals, I really don't have a clue. However, for my college applications, it is required.
As long as you are not get paid for that it means you are still in your status. Visa F1 people are not allowed to work out of school but having some volunteering jobs which are related to your education is fine. Take it easyThank you through for your answer.
