DV 2020 AOS Only

Sm1smom said:
The right answer is NO, unless you’re not eligible for AOS in which case you’ll select YES. INA 245(I) is for certain individuals already present in the US who ordinarily do not qualify to apply for AOS.

Thanks a lot. One more clarification. Where I can find the receipt of underlying petition (Q12 part2)?
 
Sm1smom,

For affidavit of support (i-134) and supporting documents - do we need them in original or a copy (sent by email and printed) is enough? My sponsor is in another state so just need to know if he has to mail me all these. Thank you!

Printed off of email is acceptable.
 
Thank you for all your advice! One more question: when filling the forms I-485 and I-944 do I need to put N/A for the questions that don't apply to me or just leave it blank?
 
Hi Mom,
Could you help me with my problem? IRS says "Tax transcripts are only available online". So i need to create my account. But i can't do it because i can't verify my phone number. always get "We were unable to verify that this phone number belongs to you with the phone provider. Please double check that your phone number was typed correctly or try a different number". But that is true my number (called to phone provider and they said "yes it is yours number and we can't help you").
my question is, what can I send instead of a transcript?
same thing with my husband's phone. he also can not confirm it, the same error

Your sponsor can be from any state as long the sponsor is 1) US Citizen or 2) Permanent Resident (Green Card holder).

Write “N/A” or “None” as applicable to the question being asked.

The problem might be with the phone service provider. I suggest you double-check which service provider you have, for example, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc.

Whose name is listed as the account holder with your service provider? Is the name on the account with your service provider listed exactly as you have it on your IRS tax filings, name is not abbreviated?

Unfortunately, tax transcripts are not currently being sent via mail at the moment. You can include a note in your AOS package stating the difficulty you’ve have with obtaining your tax transcripts and that you will bring them along to your interview.
 
Hi @Sm1smom,
I am going through the AOS process (currently on an F1 visa) and I see that in the google doc you state that we need to fill out the form DS-260.
I thought that since I'm going through the AOS process I didn't have to fill out this form, is it a must??

Recommended. Not a must.

Awesome thank you!
One more question, the cashier's check for the AOS will be in the order of "Department of State" and the address is

U.S. Department of State
Diversity Visa Program
P.O. Box 979079
St. Louis, Missouri 63197-9000

Correct?

I will receive the 2nd NL from KCC after I pay this fee? If not, when?

1. Correct
2. AOS based 2NL is not guaranteed without a submitted DS260 form which shows the intention of processing AOS. However, for a selectee who did not submit the DS260 form, KCC MAY send the AOS based 2NL after after the DV administrative fee is received and processed, I can’t tell you when this may happen.

Thank you @Sm1smom!
If I don't get the 2 NL will I still be able to go on with the interview?
