DV 2019 AOS Only

Hi Guys,
It might be a silly question and I am just overthinking but have to ask.

I thought I would be current in the last visa bulletin but I did not. I had already printed, signed and put everything in the envelope.

So now my I485 is signed and dated for March 10.
Would this be a problem if I get current this month and send it with that date?

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.

Thank you!.

1. The AOS process spreadsheet fully addressed when to file, please refer to it.

2. Address for mailing a DV based AOS package depends on the selected mailing option:
USCIS Chicago Lockbox
For U.S. Postal Service (USPS):
USCIS
PO Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120

For FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries:

Just update the forms - and put your mind at rest.
 
Hi Sm1smom,

I have a few questions before I finalize my AOS Package. I’m on an L1A with a salary of over $90k per year. My wife (EAD) earns over $75k. So…
  • Will it be necessary for us to complete the I-134?
  • In our case would you advise to include a copy of our SSN?
  • Should I include both my wife and my paystubs?

I am planning on including my W-2s, Employment Letter, Bank Statements and IRS Transcripts


Thanks!

1. Nope.
2. Not necessary.
3. Wouldn’t hurt to do so.
 
Hi, Mom and all,

I've got three questions?

1) I did my biometrics yesterday. The problem was the scanner did not accept my finger print for my right little finger (it didn't turn green!). The gentle man over there tried for a couple of times and then said that he could only do it a few times (it was limited as he said) and the system would no longer let him try taking my finger prints. Though he assured me that he was a "finger print specialist!" and it should be totally OK! Has anyone her ever had some sort of similar experience? Could that affect the case?

2) They had me fill out a form of my personal information but the gave it back to me after finishing biometrics!! My question is what should one do AFTER the biometrics? Do we need to do something like sending something (such as that form) to the USCIS or anything else or we just need to wait just as what we did for recieving "I-797C" and the "biometrics notice letter"?

3) Two days AFTER sending my package, on the way back to my town I was pulled over by the police and got a citation because in their opinion I "failed to yield to emergency vehicle sounding siren and displaying red/blue light". I paid the fine ($153.00) by phone but then I personally went to the fine collecting center and get the receipt. My question is, since it was after filing 1-485 and I had already answered "NO" to that question about having ever been cited,... what should I do now? Is that enough to bring that reciept to the interview or I need to provide some other documents? There was nothing more like showing up in a court or anything else.

1. You’ll be invited to return for the bio appointment if they’re unable to fully run your background check based on the prints they currently collected from you. If a second (and possibly a third attempt) goes the same way, you’ll be required to obtain a PCC from within the US and submit it in that case.

2. Nothing for now except patiently wait for the IL.

3. You’ll be taken through the various Yes/No questions on your form, and when you get to that question, you can answer yes and explain the circumstances surrounding it. Take along the citation and payment receipt to your interview.
 
Just a question about forms for AOS. Is there some form of US police record check that needs to be submitted as well?
I cant see it on the spreadsheet form list and I know you have to do one for CP processing, but just checking there isnt a police record check fee or form that needs to be submitted for AOS that im missing. Thanks again!

Thank you so much Mom. I hope my current finger prints work.

PCC is not required for AOS, that’s why it’s not listed on the spreadsheet.
 
Hi Mom

Do I need to but my SSN in the Aos application and a copy of it with the supporting documents OR it’s not necessary since I will apply for a new one in case I get approved!

Thanks

Short answer, yes it is a traffic citation.

oh my bad. I paid the violation fee. Should I present the receipt. I am not sure whether I have it. It has been more than 3 years now. Just wondering whether this kind of traffic violation has effect on the GC decision?.

I take back my previous response re copy of SSN. Yes include it in your package.

It is recommended to include a copy of the SSN card with the AOS package. You keep the original with you.

I typically recommend a disclosure of traffic violations. It is not a CMIT (crime of moral turpitude) so shouldn’t impact an approval decision.
