DV 2019 AOS Only

Hello, could you please help me with one question....
"Have you ever received any public assistance in the US or will you receive any public assistance in future?"
I have once used medical assistance (not considered as public charge), what should I answer?
And I hope I won't do that again
 
Yes it's the admin fee. Thank you so much!
Hi Mom

So I emailed the KCC and they advised that they have no record of my payment. I sent a follow up email advising that the Cashiers Check was cashed by the DOS on 26 Feb. I have not had a response back yet. What would be my next steps to chase this up? My Visa number will be available this month. I'm afraid that if I don't have a receipt they will reject my application.

Regards
Andrew

Answer “Yes” and explain what it was.

Indeed you wouldn’t be approved if there’s no proof of this payment. Did you follow the instructions on this page when you sent in your payment? Did you include a self addressed envelope with your payment? Was your payment mailed to this address:
U.S. Department of State
Diversity Visa Program
P.O. Box 979079
St. Louis, Missouri 63197-9000

I don’t know of any other way to chase it up. I’ve never heard of KCC saying they have no record of a payment made, they’ve always emailed the receipt when it hasn’t been received. Your only solution maybe to make another payment if there’s no receipt.

Hi there, Sorry Just another quick i-485 question.
In section 2 it asks 'if you are the principal applicant to provide Receipt Number of underlying petition and Priority Date of Underlying petition.
Is that the receipt number for the current Visa I am on that I am adjusting status from...or a different receipt number ?

Thankyou

Very happy for you man. Enjoy it.
 
I checked my mail box today and I found interview letter in there!!!
I got scheduled to interview at FO next week :)

Thank you!!!!

That’s interesting with just one week’s notice but I guess you’re happy with it considering how long you’ve waited :).

All the best with the rest of the process.

Hello again, Mom
1) I received my bio appt(scheduled for April 16) letter today. BUT. I never received the Letter of acceptance. I had a text message (mar 28), but no letter, but I did get the biometrics letter today. Is that a thing, could the other one be behind?
2) Also, how soon can I walk in for biometrics? I can really go and do it first thing next week, if it will give me any benefit of possible faster processing.

2. As soon as you like.

Hi
1. You can send your AOS package 2 months in advance. You just have to check the Visa Bulletin to make sure you number falls under the Advance Notification.
2. That is the correct address if you're sending your package with Fedex, UPS or DHL.
