DV 2020 AOS Only

@Sm1smom

It's been 15 days now from when Chicago lockbox received my AOS package. I heard nothing from USCIS since that time (my card wasn't charged, no text messages etc).

I called them today to ask about it and the lady said she sees nothing in their system.

Do I just need to wait for another week or so and if nothing, then re-send the package?

Thank you

P.S. I sent the package in the box via UPS, asking for an adult signature to get a confirmation. UPS posted they have a signature.
I also sent an email to Lockbox yesterday but nothing has come yet.
 
Hello everyone,
1. My package has been delivered on 17th of June, is it to soon to get NOA?
2. How am I gonna receive it ? To email or address?
3. I Dave difference in filling form ds 260 and i485. Should I request change on ds260 since it is impossible to change i485.
Thank you

1. takes 2-3 weeks or more usually
2. physical mail notice, you would also get text/email if you had filed the form for electronic updates
3. I have some differences too, haven't changed, not sure if DS260 matters for AOS. Can always explain on interview, I think.

Spreadsheet access granted.

I guess your IO is more used to adjudicating marriage based AOS cases, hence the heavy focus on your marriage. Anyway, you went in prepared and scaled through.

Congratulations once again.

After our interview on 17th June, we received our approval notice but no welcome letter or the green card till now. Does anyone know how long it takes to receive it? Should we be worried about it?

Be patient. Don’t resend anything. If you go through the Timeline spreadsheet or read the posts on the last couple of pages on this thread, you’ll see it now takes a while to get notified.

you need to go to page #1 of this thread, find the spreadsheet and look into it carefully. Mom stated all the things/steps in details there.

In the spreadsheet it says all we need is w2 and government id but there is one section in i134 where my sponsor should include bank balance Amount and the instructions says to include bank statement of sponsor.. I am little confused ..
 
Is anyone else here a healthcare worker? Has this made a difference in a pending biometric appointment or interview?

I am an emergency department physician with an accepted I-485 since April. I work at a county/government/nonprofit hospital in a major COVID area. My department would support me if I lodged some sort of request directly to USCIS or to my congressperson. For now, I'm just watching to see if ASCs actually open in July.

I am in a similar situation - doctor, working with covid, just different speciality. Please post here if you find out anything. I am thinking about submitting an expedited review request around end of July, but I'm not sure if it will help.

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

Hi Mom and everyone,
Question about moving.
We filed I485 packages on 04/29/2020, been cashed on 05/20/2020, and got NOAs on 06/02/2020.
My husband (principle application) has to move to another state because of the new job around August. But if we change the address now, it will cause our case been delayed, right?
The only solution we figure out is while I staying in the old address until the whole process finish, my husband moves to the new address first.
Do we still need to file AR11 if only my husband move?
Thanks a lot!

1. Most likely yes.
2. Not necessary.

Hi Kats Kits,

For question 2,

You should have asked that question to your DSO at school as that’s part of their job. Anyhow, I am in the same situation as you and this is what I was told by my DSO:

If you file your STEM OPT accurately, you can present your NOA to HR after your current EAD card expires. After that, you can work up to 180 days while you are on STEM OPT pending status. If your request is denied, then you must stop working immediately even through the 180 days is not reach.

You should also confirm with your DSO at school.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your knowledge. But I am not STEM student. regular OPT holder. So in that case, do you think I can still extend my OPT until the new EAD card arrives?
