DV 2020 AOS Only

I was reading instructions regarding the real estates outside of the USA for i-944. It states here:
If you wish to include the net value of your or your household member’s home,
then you must include documentation demonstrating that you or the household member owns it, a recent appraisal by a
licensed appraiser, and evidence of the amount of all loans secured by a mortgage, trust deed, or other lien on the home.

Is it really necessary to have an actual appraisal or similar documents could be accepted as well? For example, besides the document of the ownership, I thought to include the official real estate tax document issued by my country with that. In that document, besides the amount of the tax that needs to be paid, there is an information of the estimated value of the property, in euros. Also, it's yearly issued so the information that is presented there is always up to date. In your opinion, would that be enough proof or should I do this official appraisal thing as well?

in many places there can be a big difference between the assessed value and the actual market value. Rule of thumb is that if a uscis document says something is required, then it is required.... I don’t see any “or” either side of the sentence requiring a recent aoproasl by a licensed appraiser...

Thank you.
This may potentially delay my AOS package being sent, but I guess I will have to do it that way.
 
Didn’t you go through the AOS process spreadsheet?
I did. So we are not supposed to see any updates. I checked with some of my friends who did employment-based AOS. They told me they received an update when their case was transferred to the local field office. So that is not the case for DV-based AOS.

Another question I have.
Can I put an e-Request via USCIS website for Case Outside Normal Processing Time?
 
Hi Dear Mom;

i applied asylum 6 months ago, and i applied i485 - DV -AOS 1 months ago.
i want to apply i-765. can i apply my EAD on asylum case while my AOS accepted. ?

You can if you like. However your case is certainly not outside normal processing time.

That question is outside the realm of the DV process guidance I provide here, so I’m unable to answer it.
 
skip1,
Hopefully, It should not delay your case. It depends on the country, but in my country, the appraisal is done withing 24 hours.
And then 24 hours for translation (may not be applicable to you if you have your appraisal in English). In total, I paid ~ 100$ for 2 apartments.

Sure, I hope so :)
BTW, did your appraisal included the amount of money in your local currency or in dollars? And if it's in your local currency, how do you handle the dollar amount?
 
skip1,
The company where I sent a request to asked me about the purpose of the appraisal. When I said that it's for selling apartment for immigration purposes into the US, they noted that they will not only include the price in my local currency, but they will also add dollars equivalent below. And basically they did. I think you can ask about the same. They wrote the exchange rate that was applicable for the date of the appraisal.
 
Good evening @Sm1smom
My field office sent me this email. They did not say if I have to resend a new medical form in a sealed envelope or if the civil surgeon can just rewrite what was missed. I have the copy of the 693, so tomorrow I will go to the civil surgeon

Sorry @Sm1smom I cannot uploaded the file.
It says:"The form is incomplete. We need additional information. The vaccination record section of the I 693 was incomplete". It was not indicated whether you received the TD or Tdap vaccine"

Is that all the email says? Does it say anything regarding how you’re supposed to send in an updated medical report?

It continues saying "the vaccinations for dt/dtap were left blank and it was not indicated that you are requesting a blanket waiver of those vaccines. Further, it was not indicated whether you received the td or tdap or the full date that you received the specific vaccine. The CS only indicated month/year and must provide the month/day/year that each vaccine is given. You must provide a complete I 693 from a designated cs with a completed vaccination record. Starting September 23, 2019 civil surgeons must use 07/15/19 edition. Uscis will not accept the 10/19/17 version. Therefore please have your cs complete and sign the 7/15/19 edition"

So it didn’t say how to send in the medical report? No instructions or cover sheet to use in mailing in the medical report? If that’s the case you’ll have to email back the full medical report. Talk to your CS to see if they can fill out a new set of form. If not they should complete the missing part and you resend the whole form.
 
Hey Mom, I know that I-134 might be neglected by whoever is reviewing my case ever since I-944 came in force, but I wanted to include it just in case since I'm an F-1 student without any income in the United States which is automatically a negative factor, and even if the I-134 isn't taken under any consideration, I just want to include it since I have a sponsor who is willing to assist. My question is, although the sponsor can prove a very sufficient income, is it a problem if the same sponsor has filed I-134 for another person a year ago? Or it wouldn't matter as long as the sponsor can provide a big annual income and other big assets that can support two people at a time?

Thank you in advance!
 
Good Morning,
I have opened 5 different credit cards in the last 2 years to build my credit score but I don't use them and always make full payments which is well reported by the full credit report. Do I have to include the 12 last statements of my 5 credit cards too OR are the 12 months statements just for the assets and the credit report is sufficient for the credit cards? Thank you!

ONLY for checking and savings accounts, you must provide account statements from the bank(s) covering at least 12 months
prior to filing the application. Not Credit cards statements.

They did not send me the medical form I sent them but because I have a copy I know what they talk about. Only I read beside what I wrote yesterday is: " submit your response with requested documents, info, etc to this address (....) please do not forget to include a copy of this letter".
The CS has to use the Medical form and put today's date?
