DV 2020 AOS Only

I believe the OP wasn’t asking about STEM OPT, not everyone is eligible to apply for that. The EAD card they were asking about is the AOS based EAD, which is not under the realm of what a school’s DSO can advise on. If a DSO tells someone who is waiting in an AOS based EAD approval to keep working after their current OPT expires, that equates to bad advise.

Thank you for your both advice!
 
Hi,

I had a baby a few days ago. I sent my aos package without any information of the baby as he hadn't been born at that time yet.
Is it ok if we just show up with the baby at the interview (I'm a positive person:)) or we should notify USCIS in advance?

Congratulations on the birth of your baby. Not an issue. Be sure to take the baby’s birth certificate along, they will need a copy for your file.
 
Good morning @Sm1smom
Today I will receive the welcome letter. I have a social security number with the restriction "valid for work only with DHS authorization". In order to remove this restriction I have to go to the office.
Is the welcome letter enough or I have to wait for the green card?

You need the actual GC in order to do that.

Well... now it is official... I know, we still need to sit and wait but it definitely adds on to the anxiety :) Are there any insights on which parts of USCIS would be impacted most (e.g. NBC, or FOs, or ASCs, or something else)? Wonder how all of these will play out

Hi all, my first posting here.

I am in the same situation as Ertyui: (live in US on F1 visa, opted for consular processing when submitting DS260).
I sent an e-mail to KCC stating my intention to switch to AOS. E-mail I received is attached.

I'm not sure if this e-mail counts as 2nd NL (referring to step 4 in AOS process tab in google spreadsheet)
Should I pay the $330 administrative fee (step 5) now? it's not clear what my next step should be.

Thanks for your answers.

That is not quite the 2NL. Proceed with all the next steps, starting with the payment. Time is not on your side.
 
Hi Mom, Do you think it is a good idea to hire a lawyer at this point? My case was received on April 1st and my case is at my FO.
 
How can I mention people who have entered their information in the spreadsheet here and ask them question? Do people need to have an account on this forum to be able to enter their information in the spreadsheet? Are usernames used in the spreadsheet necessarily the same as the ones on the forum?

You can hire one if you like. It will be a waste of money IMO though. There’s nothing they can do at this point AFAIK. You’re not the only one with a pending case from April. Everyone that filed around that period is experiencing exactly the same delay as you.
 
Hello Mom,

I have a question about the process. Is it possible to get an interview letter without giving biometrics and fingerprints ?

Thank you in advance

Yes it is. We already have such a case listed on the 2020 Timeline spreadsheet. That however doesn’t mean the case will be approved without the background check being cleared.

Thank you for your quick reply. As far as I understand, background check cannot be performed without biometrics and fingerprints, am I right?
