DV 2020 AOS Only

I have received following answer from the KCC:
Thank you for your inquiry.
Based on the information you have provided, your interview location has been changed from Belgrade to Adjustment of Status. The new interview location will not appear on your DS-260, but will be used by KCC for scheduling purposes. When we have scheduled your interview, you will be required to log into the Entrant Status Check (ESC) to view your appointment notification. At that time, please verify that your appointment is scheduled for the correct post. If for any reason it is not, you may contact KCC again at KCCDV@state.gov. You will also need to request that KCC unlock your DS-260, so that you can update your application with your new address. (Please note that Post Office Boxes and mailing addresses in care of another person do not justify a change of interview location.)

I guess that, this is it, right?
Also, I'm kind of confused about this unlocking DS-260 part. Can someone explain why is that mentioned so? I will have a different address than one that I provided in DS-260 because I moved from that place, but I should be able to get that part done in I-485. I don't think that it is necessary to update DS-260, or am I wrong?
 
Thank you to all the moderators for maintaining this great forum and providing valuable information.
The 2NL for from KCC for AOS has the old California address on it but currently I live in Arizona, so which FO office will be responsible for my case?
Prefer to have the case in Arizona, so will they go by the 2NL address or i485 address?

Thank you again
 
Hi,

our CN is EU44k and we live in the US.

Here is the issue: My minor child`s passport will expire in June. We had an appointment to renew it but it was cancelled due to lockdown in NY. For now we cannot apply for a new one. As soon as possible I will apply for an expedited passport. Instead of CP we will now file for AOS.

My question: Assume we have an interview and no renewed passport yet. Do we need one and what will they do?


Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Will appreciate advice on filling the forms (specifically Forms 485 and 944).

Many sections of the forms about myself and my family ask for A-number (if we have one). Both forms also ask for USCIS online account number. I definitely do not have A-number but some of my kids who had adjusted their status before have been assigned A-numbers (as reflected in their respective notices). So the questions are:
1. Are those A-numbers assigned and kept forever, or they are assigned for the specific AOS process/case (i.e. at this point, those earlier A-numbers have "expired")?
2. Shall I therefore use those A-numbers to fill those boxes?
3. I have set up USCIS online account but I am not sure where I can find its number reflected?

Many thanks.
 
Greetings Mom,

I reside in the US with an F1 visa. My case number became current in March (AF41K), supposedly to be scheduled in may for CP. However, I did not get any appointment notification since everything shut down. Is it still possible to change it to AOS from a KCC perspective? if so what would be the first step? thank you

Also I thought AOS process is slow, is there still enough time?

Thanks for the answer.

So if I understand well the thing under 1. - my email was basically enough and I won't have a problem just sending AOS package? There's no need to call KCC and confirm with them in such way?
My concern is because all regions are current now - I don't want to be scheduled embassy interview, that's why I'm asking.
I'm rather high CN - EU46***, but still.

I think my response is clear enough. I wouldn’t have written what I wrote if not waiting could create an issue.

The rest of the email from the (3rd sentence onward) is generic information which is not applicable to AOS. KCC does not schedule AOS interview. You can safely ignore the rest of what it says.

Your FO will be based on your current home address, (as listed on your I-485).

Use the information on the current passport as is. You’ll take the expired passport along to the interview if your child doesn’t have a new one by then. Look into getting a State issued ID when the DMV in your State allows in person services.
 
On March 18, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services temporarily suspended routine in-person services to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). USCIS plans to begin reopening our offices on June 4, unless the public closures are extended further. :( :( :'( oh my god

1. A# are issued for life, they’re not petition specific, they do not expire.
2. Yes.
3. if you’ve filed/processed a petition with USCIS in the past which required having an online account, the account number will be on one of those documents you received back then.

1. Possibly, yes. Contact KCC to inform them you wish to change to AOS.
2. You can see several US based selectees are now considering switching to AOS, so that should answer your question regarding if there’s still enough time or not.

I recommend you go through the AOS process spreadsheet and the last couple of pages of past AOS Only threads to better under the process and read the accounts accounts of past selectees who processed towards the end of the FY.
 
Hi,
We cannot request for emergency services to have our biometrics done as USCIS website says there is for limited situations? I wish at least we could have our biometrics done and they would start reviewing our cases.:confused:

USCIS is readying offices to reopen on or after June 4. Employees in these offices are continuing to perform mission-essential services that do not require face-to-face contact with the public while the offices are closed."
