DV 2020 AOS Only

Hi Mom
My landlord told me about the rent relief program for NYC.
Any idea if this counts to public charge??
Thanks!
(Apologies if this has been answered. I’m having trouble with the search.)
 
Hi Mom,

It`s been 20 days since I submitted my package. According to USPS tracking it was received, but I didn`t get NOA since then (. I begin to worry as we only have 1,5 month before September when the cases will no longer be processed. How can I follow up and should I ask to expedite my case?
 
ERequest - you initiate only directly on your own.
Service request - you initiate on the phone via a USCIS rep.

You already experienced both going by your above description, so I’m not sure what you mean as to your question of what the difference is.
Hi MoM, Thanks for your response. As I mentioned I called USCIS on Friday and asked service request for biometric and received a confirmation number. However, I have received my Bio letter the next day in the mail!
Should I call again and cancel that service request? (In my account, it is showing still not assigned for processing.)
Thanks.

“USCIS’s announcement clarified that obtaining COVID-19-related testing and treatment will not factor into a future public charge analysis, even if such testing or treatment is publicly-funded. But what about the payments that millions of Americans will receive as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) that was recently signed into law by President Trump?[5] Some immigrants, for example, recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, are expected to receive CARES Act payments.[6] Will accepting these federally-funded payments negatively affect these immigrants’ chances of obtaining lawful permanent resident status (i.e., a green card) in the future as a result of the new public charge rule? Although USCIS has not yet directly answered this question,[7] the answer is “no” based on existing law. Immigrants who are eligible for CARES Act payments should rest assured that receiving this economic relief will not negatively impact any public charge determination in the future.[8]

I suppose the 20 days you’re counting includes at least 2 Saturdays, 2 Sundays, and July 3rd (in lieu ofJuly 4) - a total of 5 non working days at least, so your package hasn’t really been pending for so long. Anyways, it is currently taking a bit longer to get the NOA. You can still can the USCIS 1800 number to see if they’re able to see your package in the system or exercise some patience.

You don’t have the IL also, or do you? You can leave the service request in place.

Hello, @RezaReza and congrats with the bio letter! Would you mind sharing what you used as the rationale for the service request?

Is your bio letter from NBC or field office?
 
Hi there,

By "tax transcript," do we mean the tax document that we prepare on TurboTax and send it to IRS or is it something that should be retrieved online through IRS account?

Thank you in advance

Hola bqto
There are two users in the spreadsheet with the same FO as mine, but i've never read anything from them in this thread.. Are you there @vadim and @bqto ?

Apparently @Bqto is not an user in this forum, how could that be?
HI I'm here i have appointment today 7/20/2020
 
Thank you for your response.
It's not clear what is going on. Some people are scheduled for biometrics by NBC and the other are scheduled by their field offices.

At this point and with the current situation, does it really matter who schedules the bio appointment? The NBC is responsible for scheduling the bio appointment, however since some FOs are ready to interview and knowing the pending background check will hinder the adjudication process, they’re working at scheduling the bio for their applicants.
