DV 2019 AOS Only

Winner19 said:
Hello,
I am preparing my AOS package. I have some questions regarding it.

1. In which order should I assemble my package?

2. I am planning to put my and my husband's AOS package in two separate envelopes and then again put those two envelopes in a large envelope and mail it to Chicago Lockbox. Is it a good idea? if not please suggest me.

3. I also have I-134 forms and it's supporting documents. Should I put it together with my package (principal applicant) or put it in another envelope and put all three envelopes in a large one and send it?

Help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

1. There’s no required order, use your discretion.

2. Good idea, that’s the way it should be.

3. Put it with yours.

Hi mom:

Thank you for the detailed AOS process and documents online excel.
I have received acceptance text after sending the package a week ago. The text has three receipt numbers for I-485, EAD, and AP. Yet, my wife (H1B) adjusts the status with me (F1). She does not receive the receipt text. So, whether we share the same receipt numbers? Or, she will receive her numbers later? Thank you for taking time on my question.

Your wife’s receipt numbers are separate from yours. Her acceptance notification texts should show up in a short while. If there’s no notification message after a couple of days, it probably means there’s some issue needing to be addressed and her package is being sent back as a result.

Thank you, mom. I'm waiting for the notification from USCIS.
Yet, if there were some issue and my wife's package sends back, could she file again? Does a note in the send back package mention the issues needed to address?
 
Hi Everyone,

I'm planning on taking my grade 12 qualification and a letter of employment to my interview. The qualification part is easy, but getting my hands an example of what is needed for the company letter is proving a bit more difficult... does anyone perhaps have an example that they can share?


Thanks!

Thank you mom for your reply.

I have more questions.
1. Is it ok to put some documents that prove our relationship in my husband's Package? I have a joint account, License, Auto Insurance, apartment lease, and photographs.
2. If yes, Do I need to include other documents apart from above-mentioned documents?

Not necessary. You’re not filing a marriage based petition.

Do you or do you not have a HS diploma?

Also isn’t your company used to issuing employment verification letter? If no, did the company not issue an employment letter when you got your job offer?
 
Hi Mom!

1. I have recently received 3 USCIS case numbers, but they have different content: one says - "On November 14, 2018, we received your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSC" and the other two - "On November 20, 2018, we accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSC". I did not sent I-765 and I-131 forms. Why did I get 2 similar "fingerprint" messages?
2. I sent 3 packages with 3 different G-1145 forms. My wife had her own phone number and email, while I used mine in daughter's G-1145. Is this why I got 2 "fingerprint" messages?
3. Should I receive other case numbers?

As always thank you for your help!
 
Hi mom,

I’m just little confused about the time I supposed to send my Aos and what usics location I should send it to! So from what I understand and correct me if I’m wrong , if my number lower than the rank cut-off number shown in Section C in vb , I am eligible to file my Aos so should I send my Aos immediate or should wait until the next month? For example section c for December now says 13,100 , any one lower than this number can submit his application immediately or wait until December?

2- When they Early filing time start? Can you please briefly explain it bc I didn’t understand the memo exactly?

3-I live in North Carolina where I supposed to send my Aos or how I can know?

Thanks and Happy thanksgiving

1&2: The three Notifications you got are for the three packages you sent in, don’t stress over the words used in the notification message. I’m guessing your daughter is under 14, so the Nov. 14th related message applies to her case since minors do not pay for or do fingerprints. The other are for you and your wife.

2. No.

1. Go through the AOS process spreadsheet - it has a detailed explanation of the process involved.

2. Same as 1 above.

3. The Chicago Lockbox - Detailed address

Contact KCC and request for them to unlock your DS260 form. Once the form is unlocked update the form with your home address in the country you wish to process CP and re-submit the form. Then follow up with another email to KCC letting them know you wish to change from AOS to CP. KCC will schedule your CP interview (which will definitely not be in January) when they’re done processing your DS260 form.

Thank you. If I switch over now, do you have any idea how long it will be for my interview? Is there a chance I could still get my green card in hand before April?

I have no idea. You’ve been toying with this idea since Oct. You need to make up your mind.
 
Hi Mom,
My husband my kids and I got our interview letters.
Reading previous interviews posts I realized that inviting the kids is something which is being done, but I wonder if I should prepare my kids in any way beside telling them to be nice and polite.
Are they actually going to be interviewed? (the oldest is 13).
Thank you,
N

All they need to do outside of being polite is to truthfully answer whatever questions they get asked. There’s no way to prepare a minor that I know of.

Hello all.


I am student on F1 visa. I entered to US land with a valid visa and passed the inspection at the port of entry legally. My visa will expire almost 2 years later. I didn't violate of my student visa and i maintained my status till now. I am going through process of AOS through DV lottery. But I have a question regard to applying for asylum. I was told as long as i meet all the conditions mentioned above i can apply for asylum and have my asylum pending as i am doing AOS based on DV.

I was reading the section of AOSers experiences of spreadsheet and i realized, some of FO are not familiar with doing AOS based on DV and having pending asylum at the same time. Although i am not sure of peoples' situations who have this kind of condition and got rejected, i do not feel good to apply for asylum while i am doing AOS based on DV. Because i do not want to jeopardize my AOS application and mess with an immigration officer who is not familiar with this kind of condition.

Is it really possible for applicants who have pending asylum and are doing AOS based on DV, to get rejected on their AOS application even they have the suitable eligibility to have pending asylum while they are doing AOS based on DV?


Thank you for your time
Peace.

Not sure if I am misunderstanding something- if you will be in valid status until you AOS with DV, why do you want to unnecessarily complicate everything with an asylum application that serves no purpose?
