It was a rhetorical question again!
You can't argue with me that I was the first one who figured out the system doesn't allow to put an e-Request if date of file isn't older than 6 months even without trying myself. You kept suggesting people to put an e-Request irrespective of their date of filing. This was me who brought up this fact that putting e-Request isn't allowed by the system.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D A rhetorical question which you tried to delete but the website wouldn’t delete because I already grabbed it in my response ..... rhetorical indeed :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
I just received a call from Field office to have interview on July 28th. I told the officer that I didn’t have biometric yet. He told me you can wait after interview is done. He called me again but I missed his call. I am not sure if it’s for biometric appointment. I was trying to call back the number but I don’t know the extension.

Can you keep your rhetorical questions for people who care? This forum isn’t here for your self-gratification. It’s for people who are asking for help and those experienced ones who bother sticking around to provide it.

Congrats! Is your FO Jacksonville, FL?
 
I am happy for you guys that got calls from USCIS! Congratulations!
I feel very alone to be the only one in Detroit, MI. Does anyone else here is assigned to Detroit ASC and FO? Any info about those office? Even based on previous years?
Thank you

If you want info based on previous years, take a look at all previous timeline spreadsheets - links to these can be found on the AOS process spreadsheet.

If you look at the spreadsheet for DV2019 you can see that Detroit FO bunched all DV cases that went current in July for an interview on August 28th.
 
Congratulations to everyone getting their calls form USCIS today!
On the other side, I have called USCIS today myself. On the first call, rep told me some basic information about ASCs being closed and being reopened. After I have asked to be connected with tier 2 rep, call dropped. So I called again. The next time I was connected to a different rep. A lady who answered checked and told me that specifically for my case, the waiting time for bio and interview is 194 days!!! Which kind of freaked me out. I explained the whole time constraint thing with DV lottery class, and she told me that if I wanted she can forward a service request to my FO and ask about my case specifically. She asked me if I wanted to do that, and I accepted it. She gave me a confirmation number and told me I'll get back from someone in 30 days. However, I asked again to be connected to tier 2 rep, but she told me that now it's too late and she can't transfer me and advised to call early in the morning. I'll see and maybe call tomorrow and ask directly to be connected to tier 2 rep.
However, I have a question regarding this whole service request thing. Has anyone done it before, and can it make impact on my case processing time? Also, if later on I decide to go with congressional inquiry, will this service request be in the way?
I'd appreciate an answer from anyone that knows a little bit about this? @Sm1smom or anyone experienced in the forum?

Thanks in advance.

1. Generic IL, don’t sweat the wordings re “initial interview”

2. Confirmed

3. Evidence of not becoming a Public charge/ use of sponsor has always been in effect, form I-944 Self Sufficiency is what was not in effect back then. The AOS process spreadsheet has always listed the document the above financial documents be included with the AOS package. It also recommended including an I-134 affidavit of support. Get those and take them with you. Present them if asked at the interview.

4. Your selectee notification letter, DV administrative fee payment receipt.

5. You can only take whatever you can find at this point. Try you best to follow the instructions regarding what they’re asking for.

6. They will ask you to clarify anything they’re confused about.

Thanks Mom for your suggestion! I have more further question:

1. As per your suggestion, my uncle is willing to provide me with the sponsorship. So I believe I-134, I-864, W-2, Tax return and copy of his green card should be enough. Is this correct?

2. Does the signature in the form has to be physical/hand signature? or can we use electronic signature? He lives in virginia and my interview is next thursday in Seattle FO, so wondering if he can sign electronically and send me the pdf copy so i could print it and take it with me. If not, what would you suggest?

3. I am also looking forward to taking my last 2 months pay stubs, W-2, Tax return and letter from my current employer confirming about my current pay rate and hours, employment verification and job description. Is there anything else from my personal financial point of view that i should carry if the IO asks for anything?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,
Dsap

1. I-864 is not DV applicable, that’s why I listed the I-134 in my response.

2. It doesn’t have to be a wet signature. Emailed/pdf version of the form is allowed.

Thanks for the answer.

Just a follow up: Do you know where can I check the status of that service inquiry? I have been given a confirmation number.

You can’t check it yourself. You will receive an email as to their decision. You’ll need to provide the number when you call back on the same 1800 number if you wish to follow up prior to when an email response gets sent.
