DV 2020 AOS Only

I spoke to level 2 USCIS officer and he said my case my case is being reviewed at Seattle field office and decision has not been made yet. He has submitted a request for the officer reviewing my case to provide an update on the application.
 
Hello - I have a question, I have filed my aos based on diversity visa. Im the principal applicant and my husband is the derivative. I was working on h1b visa when i filed my aos so both of us didnt need a sponsor and didnt file i864 since both of us were working. But my visa expired on feb 12th so i had to take a long leave from work and my ead got approved on 13th feb but i couldnt go back to the same work place since i moved to a different state. However im still employed but not getting paid, my interview is scheduled for 17th June. Will I still need a i864? If yes, can my husband file the i864 even though he is not a resident or citizen but a derivative on my application? He has a job and is getting paid.

Do you have a interview for tomorrow? When did you get your interview letter?

I-864 is not applicable to DV based AOS applications. When did you file for AOS? That determines what you might be expected to present to overcome public

I filed my aos in Dec 2019 so I didnt have to file i944 form for public charges. Do I get my husband to fill i134?

The interview that we received on email says to bring i864 if not submitted already, guessing that is the standard format letter that USCIS sends to all AOS.

That’s good. Then yes, your husband can fill out an I-134 as a backup supporting document which you only present if the IO asks for one. Since your husband is processing with you as your derivative, I however don’t expect you’ll be required to present an affidavit of support.

You mentioned moving to a different State after filing, I hope you’re aware that at the end of your interview (once your IO finds out you’re living in another State) your case may end up being moved to the FO in the State with jurisdiction over your case file

Oh, I moved to a different state and already did submit AR11 form for change of address, all my documents were moved to the current state and Im having interview in the state where Im living now.
 
Hey guys, I just had a talk with USCIS, they said that they are doing biometrics, but due to limited capacity it may take more than 30 days to receive a notice.
I also talked to them how I can make a small correction to my form:
Checked: denied admission instead of denied a visa. (also provided a note that I was denied a visa in additional information), but still, I'm afraid they will miss that note and will still treat the case as if denied admission that is way worse.
They asked me to send receipt number, address, name, DOB, and description of what I need to correct to the same place where I sent my application. I said that it was Chicago Lockbox and asked them whether I should send it there, they answered yes.
I just want to double-check with you, if anyone sent additional info or corrections like in my case, are there any hints you have besides basically doing what I described above? Maybe a specific format in which change should be described? Should it be just a simple letter to Chicago lockbox with all this information?
 
Just a few quick questions on I-134.

I don't think I have anyone in the U.S that could be my sponsor and I was thinking to ask my brother in my home country to be my sponsor since I might not have enough evidence for I-944 as I just graduated recently.

Does my sponsor have to be a resident here in the U.S? If not, what do I choose on the Citizenship or Residency or Status part?
Or is there anyway that I can show sponsorship or fund from my home country?

Thanks for all the updates everyone!

Your sponsor has to be a US citizen or green card holder.
 
Very quick question on the signature, since I got the rejection notice on Monday, because of no sign.

Q: I did write some notes on the passport copies and visa copies since I have a lot.
For example, next to passport image. I wrote “the latest passport picture” “expired passport” “current visa” something like that.
If I added some notes like this by hand writing, do I need to sign the signature on the pages.
I don’t think it is necessary, but just in case.
