DV 2020 AOS Only

Q1: My wife and mine marriage certificate has been translated by embassy and the official embassy seal is like registry stamp that stapled an official copy of the certificate and the translation copy. As instruction says no staples and I should not remove these as its an official set of documents. What to do? Send as is?

If I have never received public benefits then:
Q2:On I-944, Part 3. Public Benefits: >> "NO"I have not received any public benefits.
Q3:Also: No, I am not certified to receive in the future any of the above public benefits.

Q4:On I-944, Part 3. Public Benefits:17 "Have you disenrolled, withdrawn from, or requested to be disenrolled from the public benefit(s)?"
What to choose? Because I have never enrolled and this question format is such that if I say YES that means I am enrolled; on the other hand if I say No that it means I have "Not disenrolled"!!!! THIS IS REALLY CONFUSING.

Most of my I-944 was simple and straight forward and other than the Middle name part I am writing N/A to all the blank fields. But the above part I am stuck.

Thanks

Answer to this question is also "No".
All of them imply one thing which is you haven't already enrolled for any benefits to request for disenrollment, withdraw, etc.

1. If by “official copy” you mean the original copy, be aware document you submit to USCIS will not be returned to you, otherwise you can submit the certificate as is (if it is simply a copy).
2. I don’t see a question here.
3. I don’t see a question here.
4. This question is rather straight forward, you just need to stop overthinking because I’m sure the right answer is staring you right in the face. Only one answer applies to this question.
Here’s the question: “Have you EVER received, or are currently certified to receive in the future any”, they’ve provided 3 responses for you to choose 1:
a) Yes, I have received, or I am currently certified to receive in the future - select this option if you’ve received or ever applied and haven’t currently received the public benefit but have been certified as being eligible sometime in the future
b) No, I have not received any public benefits - select this option if you’ve never applied.
c) No, I am not certified to receive in the future any of the above public benefits - select this option if you’ve ever applied and haven’t been found eligible to receive these benefits in the future.

The AOS process spreadsheet says to include I -797 (if applicable), right? So if you have any I-797 regardless of why it was issued, it means it should be included.

It is advisable for each AOS package to have its own G1450.

I am keeping the original papers with me. But sending the "Original translation copies of the certificates". So it is the original of the translation not a copy of the translation.

And those have been stapled and then embassy embossed rubber seal is on top of that stapled corner.

Q1: Send as is with the staples?
Q2: Sending the translation original is required, right?

I-485, PART 8: CRIMINAL ACTS AND VIOLENCE #26 "have your EVER committed a crime of any kind (even if you were not arrested, cited, charged with or tried for that crime?"

I had two traffic ticket (speeding) back in 2009 and 2013 both paid for and not on record. And I think I asked about it before so attaching the documents as part of I-485. But now just realized:

1Q: Do I say "YES" to #26 and attach those traffic tickets on Part 14 as additional information?

Two things you need to do:
1. Email KCC and inform them you’re processing AOS and your wife will be processing FTJ
2. Request KCC unlock your form to enable you state your wife will be processing FTJ where it asks if the listed family member will be immigrating with you or not

Hi Sm1smom,

I have unlocked my da260, and there is just Yes or No question for if the listed family member will be immigrating with you. I don't see any field where I can indicate that my wife will be proceeding FTJ. Could you please help and say what should I do?

Thank you in advance!

If you select NO to that question, the next one should ask you if your family member will be immigrating at a later date and you select YES

Thank you, now it is clear. What about my wife's DS? She has the same question there. I just answer yes to the first question, as she will be coming later, right?

No changes needed on your wife’s DS260. You’re the selectee, she’s the derivative. You can send a follow up email to KCC letting them know you’re the only one processing AOS while your wife will go through FTJ if you like, wouldn’t hurt to do so. Of course KCC will not be scheduling your wife’s embassy interview like I already told you, you’ll have to work with your assigned IO to ensure your approved AOS case file gets sent to the embassy that will schedule your wife’s interview.
