DV 2020 AOS Only

I think everyone should practice some patience and have faith now. Since we have seen few people getting approved without going through interview and some getting interview as well, we should be really hopeful that we might get positive response anytime soon. Good Luck Everyone!
 
I got a notification today that my card is being produced.
- I previously had an interview appointment for Mar 18 but it was cancelled due to COVID. I think it's safe to assume that like @Giovanna my case was approved without an interview
- Thank you @Sm1smom for all the information you have generously shared, I really appreciate all the help from the spreadsheet and your insights on the forum

Wow! Amazing news. Congratulations!!!
Have you received anything after your interview was canceled and before your case was approved?

Congrats ;))))))))
 
Hi @Sm1smom
After I sent the CP to AOS email to KCC, can I send out the DV process payment before receiving any reply? Don't I need to wait for the "Receive the email from KCC confirming your intention to do AOS (2nd NL)" step 4 in the spreadsheet ? Do I need to include the SASE when I mailed my payment?

Hello everybody!
Until the last proclamation, I planned to get AOS for the main applicant, and the family go through the CP. But now I forced to have the family go with me.
1. Need I to pay 330 fee for each family member and send an additional package including fee to them? I didn't find information about this.
2. I have four children and a wife (only one/ lol)). It turns out a considerable money amount. It’s not exactly known about me and my case. Can I pay all other fee for my members on interview when I will be sure?

Thank you very much!

where are your family now?
 
I currently have an E3 visa.
My wife has an E3 Dependent visa
My first son (6yo) has an E3 Dependent visa
My second son (2yo) was born in the US and is USC.
We are all currently in US.

I incorrectly submitted a DS-260 for my second son who is USC. (I understand now that no AOS was necessary for him).
I answered 'No' to 'Is the child immigrating to the US with you?' on both my and my wife's DS-260.

I need to submit payment for DV Administrative Fees, and my understanding is that I need to pay 3 x $330 (for AOS for me, wife and first son).

I'd like to I minimize confusion at this late stage of DV2020;
- Can/should I cancel or void the DS-260 for second son?
- Should I pay 3x $330 and assume no confusion will exist over second son's DS-260 being superfluous and not chargeable?
- Should I pay 4x $330 so that there is a 1:1 relationship between DS-260s and $330 fees in our application? (and just accept the overcharge)

Appreciate your advice. Thanks

1. You cannot cancel or void the already submitted DS260 form. You can however email KCC letting them know the form was submitted in error and that your son is already a USC.
2. $330 x 3

Great news! Congratulations
 
They are with me. Before that I wanted to save some extra money(( . For the same money I planed to visit home in the summer and go to CP. But now all changed...
Then I dont understand why you are talking abut waiting to pay the fee when you are sure about them? Or what do you “not exactly know” about your case?

Anyway - from your questions I suspect you have not read the spreadsheet, or maybe not thoroughly (for example, you’d know when to pay what fees and that none of them are at interview), so I suggest you start by carefully going through that, and it should answer your questions. If something is still not clear then ask to clarify.

Congratulation. When did you submit your packages ?
 
Hi @Sm1smom! I sent in my AOS package on 5/25 and received my NOA on 6/13. I am aware that Los Angeles FO will need to request my case file from the Sydney Embassy (as my interview was scheduled for April). Do I need to do anything/follow up to make sure this happens? Or do I wait until I have a biometrics appointment (once it reopens). I just want to make sure I don't leave it till the last minute and I have done everything I can before the September deadline.
 
Hi @Sm1smom
After I sent the CP to AOS email to KCC, can I send out the DV process payment before receiving any reply? Don't I need to wait for the "Receive the email from KCC confirming your intention to do AOS (2nd NL)" step 4 in the spreadsheet ? Do I need to include the SASE when I mailed my payment?

You don’t need to wait for the confirmation response from KCC before making the DV administrative fee payment. You can make that payment while waiting.
