DV 2019 AOS Only

Hi, I work as part time now and my annual income is about 22 k. My husband is not working. Do I need to show financial support?. I will be getting a full time job before the interview. I am just worried that I have to send the part time job pay stubs with the AOS package.

Your IO will need to be convinced you’re not likely to become a public charge in order for your petition to get approved. So in view of this, do you think you need to demonstrate financial capacity/support or not? You can answer that question yourself.

I don’t think you can make the request to KCC, they will not attend to such a request from you.

Your FO may be waiting on your background check. It’s also possible they merely said what they said about the case file still being enroute simply to get the Congress man/woman off their back while they take their time to schedule your interview.

Go on another INFOPASS and get them to clarify the case file they’re waiting for.

I tried to book INFOPASS but Dallas FO is no longer accepting infopass appointments.
1. Is there any other way I can find out what kind of file are they waiting for?
2. What are my options now other than waiting?
3. When do you suggest me to contact the Ombudsman office for assistance?

I called USCIS and they told me that they got my biometric result on Jan 6th, 2019. They didn't tell me more about it. I gave my biometric on Dec 31st, 2018.

Which month did your CN become current?

Hmm! So the delay is a bit unusual considering @Mars2045 with the same FO as yours, also current in Dec (although filed in Nov while you filed in Dec) got their IL back in Dec and already interviewed in January.

I suggest you contact the Ombudsman’s office on Monday if IL is not received over the weekend.
 
Hi,
I am happy that I found this forum.
I have two AOS processes going on the first one is based on Employment and second based on Diversity visa. I was current in January and already sent my package.

1. Immigration officer will adjust my status based on the package sent based on diversity visa or he/she may request file based on Employment before adjusting my status?
2. If immigration officer requests my file based on employment to adjust status, will it delay my process?

Thank you everyone.
Goodnight.

1. They typically request the other immigration case file in the system before adjudicating the DV based AOS petition.
2. Possibly yes.

Thank you for your reply Sm1smom.

1. Can you tell me generally how long it will take them to request the file and get it?

Actually I found an agency who was willing to file my green card on EB3 category. I sent all my documents along with I485 on May 2018. I changed my address after that. I changed my USPS address and USCIS address after moving. I didn't get any receipt letter from USCIS so I thought that they didn't file my I485. On May 15th 2018 I found that I was selected for Lottery Visa so I never cared about my I485 sent through agency. But last month I found out that they actually filed my I485. Since, I didn't get any receipt letter and biometric letter (maybe because I changed my address) I think my I485 is now denied. I tried to get information about that case and called USCIS but they couldn't find my case status.

2. Will it have negative impact on AOS based on Diversity Visa?

1. It’s unpredictable. How soon they request a file is all dependent on your FOs workload, and how soon it is sent/received also depends on the office handling the other case.

2. No NOA nor bio for an AOS petition filed since May 2018 - you can consider that petition none existing, most likely considered abandoned and subsequently or eventually denied due to no show for the bio. It however shouldn’t have negatively impact your DV based AOS petition. Hope you’ve been maintaining a valid legal status all these while though.

Thank you! I got your point. I have a phd and my position just changed to part time since my research funding is ending soon. Do I need to send pay stubs with AOS package?. Can I just take them with me when I go to the interview?.. I will be full time again at that time

I can’t tell you if you “need to” or not since even USCIS through their website isn’t telling people what they “need to”. However IMHO, I see nothing wrong with sending what you currently have with the AOS package and taking updated / new paystubs to the interview.
 
Hi Mom and guys,

Yesterday i received my IL, finally afrer 116 days waiting)) i was supposed to go for an infopass on April 1, not sure if it is a coincidence but received IL after a week of scheduling an infopass. Maybe field office checked me in their system)) anyway, also my IL is different from the template they usually send as if they printed it in a word document) but it doesnt matter) i will try to upload a scanned one on Monday.

Also, Mom should I call Uscis and cancel my infopass or it is not important?

Thank youu)))

Congratulations on getting the IL.

IL showing up after booking an INFOPASS appointment is just a coincidence, it wasn’t triggered by the upcoming visit. The FOs are too busy to be cross checking their systems regarding cases they’re responsible for and those coming in on INFOPASS appointments. The assigned IOs attending to those coming in for INFOPASS appointment do not even check the system nor prepare in advance, the only time they look up your case is when you get in front of them and state the purpose of your visit - INFOPASS is basically a general inquiry process.

Yes you need to go back online (not call USCIS) and cancel the INFOPASS appointment, someone else will appreciate getting that slot.

Hey, may i ask based on what country you are chargeable to DV lottory? I am trying to know if this is the cause of receiving your IL too late.
Thanks.
 
Thought I'd give a little update.

I went in this past Thursday about the second Biometrics Letter I received which had a date and time mirroring my walk-in date and time. They double-checked and it turns out, as a walk-in, the officer reschedules your appointment to the date and time of your walk-in, and just as a byproduct of doing so, a new Biometric Letter gets sent automatically. Thankfully didn't have to re-do my Biometrics. All was fine. Just thought this information may help anyone else who gets in the same situation.

And I just received my Interview Letter! Yay! Still gotta wait till May but so pleased it's been scheduled. (Timeline updated too.)

All the best to everyone still in the process of securing theirs!
