SO, do the two years of J1 rule prohibits me from getting the green card?

Yes it does. If you’re subject to a 2 year HRR and you ether haven’t fulfilled this requirement or have an approved waiver over riding this requirement, you will not be getting a GC approval.

Sm1smom is correct, of course. Check the visa page of your passport- if it says "BEARER IS SUBJECT TO 212(E). TWO YEAR RESIDENCY RULE DOES APPLY", then the 2-year rule applies; you can also verify this on your DS-2019; and if you want to apply for a visa to the US, before satisfying the rule, then you must obtain a J-1 waiver. Even if the 2-year rule does not apply, it's a good idea to have it in writing, by obtaining an advisory opinion from the State Department.

You're DV2021 anyway, and don't have a low case number, so you've got time to sort this all out. Feel free to PM me, if you have any questions, as your query is not relevant to this thread.
 
It seems that NBC's normal system through which people are scheduled for biometrics is broken and there is a huge backlog so no appointment will be scheduled soon unless local Field Office does something about it. For example, I know people from San Jose application support center who had filed in February and even had been scheduled for biometrics which was then cancelled. These people have not been scheduled for biometrics yet but we see people from this forum who have filed recently had their biometrics this week. That's all because of their Field Office expediting the process.

Yeah I’m happy and very sad at the same time. Very happy for everyone who’s process is moving along and very sad I submitted in November and that my process is stuck because of my FO and there is not much to do about it...

Why do you need to search 500 case numbers?
myuscis (official site) sends you notifications when a case is updated too.
i dunno, I just don't like the idea of random apps getting my case numbers (there’s a reason all immigration forums blank out full case numbers), but ymmv.

That app does have some search function where if you input your case number and some derivative of it by increasing/decreasing the last few digits then it pulls up upto 500 case numbers before or after your case that can be found to show results in the website. It ends up showing a list of all cases categorized by filing type (I-485, I-765 etc), date, status and last change in case. It does sometimes shows adds and popups, hence I was being cautious.

That random app does pull up all existing cases. It does feel odd but as the website requires only case number hence an api can be used to run a string to get all available results.

Sure, but you’re allowing the app to associate a case number with your phone, etc. it’s not quite the same as an anonymous case number search, and it doesn’t give you anything you can’t get from uscis (unless you feel a pressing need to see what 500 other cases are doing). Just seems odd to me why someone would use it, but whatever.

Hi All!

I have received my IL today scheduled for July 23 (so soon!). I waited for this moment since December 2019 when I attended my bio appointment. My FO is Seattle. I wonder if other AOS applicants in Seattle will get something soon.

Hello,

My FO is Seattle too and i have seen a letter from USCIS Seattle FO in USPS informed delivery email earlier today. But i am still waiting for USPS to deliver the mail. I will update what's in the letter once i receive it.
