Did you hear back from USCIS when you responded to your Request for Evidence?

1) To be honest, I don't know how exactly it works and who is in charge of the scheduling.
Maybe it's someone in Chicago, maybe in it's supposed to happen at the FO and at NCA, I don't know.
However, once they receive the whole bunch of paperwork, I presume there is no risk of mixing it up with anything and the appointment/interview will be scheduled.
I'm not sure, why KCC raised the question in the first place then.
2) Yes, I submitted a comprehensive AoS package on June 1st.

Same here, I have so many grey hairs due to this situation
by the way, I believe that is a general answer that is given to anyone who does an online request

1. Who does what is explained on one of the tabs on the AOS spreadsheet, you should go through it. The response from KCC is a standard one, it is not drafted towards your specific case.
2. I’m assuming you’ve be following this thread and are aware of what other recent filers have been saying
Thanks really appreciated!

How did you justify “outside of normal processing time”? What processing time did you use as normal? DV is obviously not listed separately on the official uscis processing times page. I would personally suspect that’s why you got the response you did.
From what I heard from the webinar yesterday, USCIS doesn't want to set up general COVID-delayed guidelines even for the asylum seekers, who also have one year deadline like us. They say it's gonna be processed at the case basis. I guess they will rush the those cases before deadline eventually. Hopefully we get expedited as well since AOS DV are very rare compared to CP DV. I did my fingerprints luckily just before the USCIS close in March, but I haven't heard from them since. GL to everyone in this mess.
Just fyi - someone I know had their DV AOS interview at Fairfax, Virginia. I had my interview on wednesday at Atlanta and I was the only one for aos interview(everyone else we saw in that office were for oath ceremony and citizenship interview)so just to give you some hope uscis is working on Dv cases.

The main applicant's passport is valid until early-Oct.
Now that the embassies are open we called them and they told us that it usually takes 4-6 weeks for issuing a new one.
Should we renew the passport, considering that at the time of the interview (if any) the passport will have less than 6 months of validation? Or since it will be valid and nothing is going to be issued in the passport it is fine to take the current one?
The reason I'm asking is that due to the situation it might be the case that at the time of interview the passport will not be in hand and will be in the process of the renewal.
Thanks

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to give you an update on my case (2020EU48xxx). My case became current in June.
The AOS package was received on June 5th and last night June 18th (11pm) I received the receipt via text.
Now the status is "Fingerprint Fee was Received". In the next few days I expect the NOA by mail.
Has anybody here got scheduled for their biometrics yet?
Also, I wanted to clarify a few things:
1) the FO is where the interview is supposed to take place, the ASC is where the biometrics take place, and the NBC is where our cases are being reviewed, correct?
2) Walk-ins for ASC were allowed in the past, but not anymore (covid-19 related reasons), correct?
3) It is possible to have the interview before the biometrics, correct?
4) in the biometrics procedure, do they only take our fingerprints?
5) do we need to bring along everything that we included in the AOS package plus the original documents (eg. high school diploma, degrees)?
Thank you

Nobody did receive invitation for biometrics yet, as ASCs start operating on July 13. They will start sending letters starting with June 29th.
1. Correct
2. Correct
3. It could happen but it is unusual
4. Fingerprints and photo for your green card
5. Bring all originals plus anything you consider that might be asked by FO to prove your case
Good luck!

When I renewed my passport here in the States, at the Consulate of my home country, I didn't have to turn in my old passport (it was valid at the time), I was able to keep it.
When I went to pick up the new one, the lady at the consulate made some holes in the old one (she made it no longer valid, since I had the new one) and returned it to me. I still have my F1 visa on the old passport so now I need to carry both in case I want to travel outside the States.
You might want to check with your Embassy and see if you get to keep your old passport while they are making you the new one. If you get to keep it I think you will be ok to go with the old passport at the interview if you don't have the new one yet!
Hope this was helpful!
And when will they start sending the interview notice and when will they start taking interview?
Thanks for the reply, however, they take the passport from the beginning and return it with the new passport later.
Hi
My case is 2020AS00016zzz and its current I have some questions ,
1. What is the AOS?
2. How can i check what is the status of my case ?
I got at the end of March e-mail from KCC :
"Congratulations! Our records indicate that you have submitted all required documentation to the Kentucky Consular Center and are ready to be scheduled for an interview when your case number becomes current. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing."
3.What do I need to do after this mail ?
thanks in advance

Arw you already in USA with another visa or youare in yoir own country?
AOS is adjustment if status, so the people that are already in the country apply for AOS instead of CP (CONSULAR PROCESSING)
You applied for CP if you get the email from KCC about ylur document.
There is another forum page on this forum:dv2020 all selected,where there are all the CP case.
There you can find more info about your processing!
They already started to reschedule interviews (we have two examples in this thread), but it goes case by case and very slow.
