DV 2020 AOS Only

the prob is my FO isn't even open yet!! atter nonsense, shopping malls are open here, people are dining out and they wanna keep it close,
Are you attending this webinar organized by USCIS on June 18th? If yes, use the opportunity to ask them directly. I feel your frustration, as I'm concerned for my case too. I still has to give my biometrics, and all ASC's are closed...
 
Unfortunately, I have work related meeting that I cannot postpone exactly this time slot at July 18th. It will be highly appreciated if someone can attend and provide feedback here regarding:

1. When biometrics appointments will start and can we walk-in.
2. Is it common to wave interview for dvLoterry based AoS if all documents are provided!
3. Will interview for dvLoterry AoS be scheduled with priority because of the FY time constrain.
4. Any other info that might impact us.

Thanks in advance!

it specifically mentions that they will not answer case-specific questions, I am pretty sure they will not answer any of our queries. and shoot I might have sent them an email, but I missed to notice the deadline to send them an email was today noon EST.

Yes, specific case questions they will not answer, but general once they might. You still have a chance to ask them during webinar. It is still worth to attend. I'll definitely be there.
 
Two weeks of waiting and finally good news!

Don't worry. Most field offices that were closed last week are now open. Just a couple of them are still closed. And it seems no interview will be held before June 22 and after that all field offices will be open.

If I understood well, this means that your documentation was fine and case was accepted, right? You're waiting now for biometrics?
Well, they just do basic checks like if all the signatures are there, caching checks etc. Yes, I think now I need to wait for biometrics, but let's see what the notice says that was sent by mail (waiting for it).
 
I emailed KCC to see if my file has been requested by my local field office. They had no idea what my question was about and replied irrelevantly.

Is there any way to know if our file has been requested from KCC by our field office?
 
11/21/19,, been a while

I see. Yeah, I feel you my friend. I applied about three weeks before you did and I’m on the same boat with you. The only difference (which is even more frustrating in my opinion) is that my FO IS open and I’m still not rescheduled for the interview, nor was giving any update. It’s been 8 month since I filled and it definitely sucks to wait so long, especially when my hopes were so up to be done quick because of very low CN (EU2502). But an the end of the day it’s still better than not be a winner of DV2020 at all :)

Where is your FO?

From what I’ve heard it’s pretty common for KCC to say that. You can try calling them or maybe contacting USCIS and trying to see if they will give you a respond for that.
 
Just sent my packet today. The I-944 definitely doubles the size of the AOS packet, meaning that they will take extra time going through each case submitted after the 24th of February. I wish we all get our cases approved before the end of the FY. Stay positive and patient, there is still time left, I will post updates whenever something pops up throughout the process!
 
Hey Everyone! I just noticed on the timeline spreadsheet (line 37) that the first of our group has received an interview letter yesterday, also his Biometrics seems to have been waived!

This really gives hope.

Stay strong

I will caution us to be careful with assumptions. The user hasn’t stated bio was waived. So far, it seems the FO has gone ahead and scheduled their interview which is not unusual. Some FOs do schedule the interview while the background clearance is pending, nothing new in that. Nonetheless, it is encouraging to see IL being sent at this point with everything being so silent for a while now. Encouraging news re FOs re-opening to the public for none emergency.
 
May I ask - why do you see as so advantageous the possibility that you can get your bio waived? From the previous timelines, this part doesn't seem to be a bottleneck of the process - and the whole thing lasts only a couple of minutes as well. Also, with the fact that it is possible to give bio at your local FO if ASCs remain closed, it really confuses me why would you think this to be a big thing? Am I missing something?
