DV 2020 AOS Only

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!

Not a problem as long as the sponsor’s annual income is above the applicable poverty level threshold to cover his entire household which includes that of the person they sponsored last year and the person’s household, and your household at the same time.
 
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?

But this is the very first question I asked about! I wasn’t asking you to clarify what they were asking or how you knew what the issue was.

Just go back to the CS and have them complete the missing portion. They can fill out a completely new set of forms or update the copy you have. I don’t know what date they’ll need to put on the actual form, the CS will figure it out. The form however needs to be in a signed and sealed envelope with the date of when the form was updated, so if that is today, the envelope should have today’s date on it.

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
May I know how the email address from your local field office look like? Is it an encrypted secured email address?
 
Hi all,
I am a 2020 DV selectee, after I received 2NL from KCC, I found out the middle name was also auto fill-in when I applied( fill with my first name), but i don't have middle name, so I got 2 first name in the AOS letter, can I still process my AOS? Thank you all!

KCC does not auto fill in middle name for those without one. You or whoever submitted the entry on your behalf must have listed your first name twice on your eDV registration form back then when it was submitted. That is why letters/correspondence from KCC shows 3 names for you.

Anyway going forward, file for AOS with your correct set of names (first name, last name only - all sections for middle name should be left blank).

Thank you so much :) @Sm1smom
 
So, I have finally managed to go passed credit card information step on IRS online website just to hit the wall with phone number verification.
I recall someone on the topic mentioned having problem with T-Mobile. How did you manage to solve this? I'm also on T-Mobile
 
Dear Mom @Sm1smom,

Based on your earlier replies in this thread, I assume:

1. that scan copy of the receipt (my handwritten form with DV fee) with the word "PAID" is enough confirmation to USCIS that I made the payment to the US Department of State. Right? I emailed KCC and they provided me with the scan copy of the receipt;

2. I also mentioned that I DIDN'T file DS-260, asking about 2NL. They provided me with pdf letter, saying the following:

" DEAR XXXX

Thank you for informing us that you plan to apply for adjustment of status with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Before you apply, you should know there are some restrictions on who qualifies for adjustment of status in the United States. For more information on the requirements and forms needed, please see the USCIS website at http://www.uscis.gov/green-card/other-ways-get-green-card. As indicated on the USCIS website, you must include your Diversity Lottery selection notice when you submit your adjustment of status application to USCIS. The selection notice is available on the Entrant Status Check (ESC) website at http://www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC/. Also, it is important to remember that you cannot apply for adjustment of status until an immigrant visa number is available. To see if a visa number is available, please refer to your DV case number and check the current Department of State Visa Bulletin at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html. Regardless of when a visa number becomes available, the adjustment of status process must be completed by September 30, 2020. You cannot get any benefit from your DV selection after that date. If USCIS determines you are eligible to adjust status, you must pay a non-refundable diversity-processing fee of $330.00 per person to the Department of State. This fee covers the cost of running the lottery selection process and is separate from any fees you will need to pay to USCIS as part of your adjustment application. If you do not pay this fee, you will lose your diversity visa. If you are not approved for a visa or adjustment of status, this fee cannot be refunded under any circumstances. Please mail a money order for the diversity-processing fee to the address below: U.S. Department of State Diversity Visa Program P.O. Box 979079 St. Louis, MO 63197-9..."

Apart from that, in the email itself they mentioned that they see my payment which shows my intention to do AoS.

Does this letter represent a 2NL ?

Thank you.
 
I have very quick question on bank statement for I-944. I prepared I-944 form for myself and another i-944 for my wife as instructed.
My wife and I have joint account for all banks and we are applying AOS.

Q1; Should I make two copies of bank statement or just one copy for both applicants?
If you answered before, please kindly let me know where to find your response? Thanks for helping us.
 
Hi @Sm1smom
I have a question regarding the I944.

I am an F1 student, supported by my parents. To prove I can support myself if I ever get a green card, I am planning to include a "prospective job offer" from an employer that can offer me a position once I can work legally. What are your thoughts about this?

Also, as long as I do not start working, since I am still supported by my parents, do you think an I-134 affidavit could help ? Or no there is no need for it.

Thank you

Hi. When did you request that copy by email and how long it took to get the response? I sent my request this morning and only received the automatic response.. I sent to kccdv@state.gov
 
DV2020SA,
I requested it 2 times already. But no success. They don't want to send it.
Me:
Can you please send me a copy of the DV payment receipt by email?
I have my complete AOS package that I want to send as soon as possible and the only missing piece is DV payment receipt.
They:
KCC has received your request. If you do not receive this by June 05, 2020 you must supply KCC with an email address.
and Your adjustment of status receipt was sent to your current postal address on May 15, 2020. If you do not receive this by June 05, 2020 you must supply KCC with an email address.
Once you get a response from KCC, please write how it went. I may also submit one more request, but, for now I don't really see that they want to cooperate on this.

P.S. They usually answer on the next day.

I would send you a similar response if I get the email request you sent.

When did you send in the payment and how long have you been waiting for the receipt? Did your email contain your CN and other required identifying details?
Those are the pertinent information your request to KCC should contain. If you’ve been waiting for at least two weeks since your payment was received, provide that information letting them know you’re yet to receive the receipt before requesting they email you a copy of the payment receipt. And be sure to open up a new email when sending in the request to KCC, don’t reply to a previous response.
 
Hey mom,
1) I sent an email on the 15th day after sending a payment.
2) Yes, all the emails that I send to KCC have a full name, DOB, CN of the principal applicant.
I have indicated in my first email that I sent payment 2 weeks ago.
Basically, the full text of my first email is:

Hello,

2 weeks ago I sent a DV administrative payment (330$ per person / 660$ total).

Can you please send me a copy of the DV payment receipt by email?
I have my complete AOS package that I want to send as soon as possible and the only missing piece is DV payment receipt.

Thank you!

Principal applicant's info:
Name: {Name}
DOB: {DOB}
Case Number: {CaseNumber}
So, I don't think I missed anything. Probably, currently, they are just not that attentive due to the probable increased number of inquires or pandemic consequences.
