DV 2020 AOS Only

So, it looks like I might have this kind of situation, because I got yesterday 2 bio letters (for myself, I am the main applicant and my 4yo son). Nothing came for my spouse and my daughter, however tier 1 said today that letters were sent to them as well. I don't know the bio date for them, but ours is Aug 3, 2020. When I get them, I will update you. They could probably split us like - 1 adult + 1 minor, IDK.

Hello guys,

So, today I received 2 missing bio letters for my husband and the other kid. All of us are scheduled for the same day and time. i.e Aug 3, 2020 at Elizabeth Asc. I don't know the reason why letters came separately, they all dated same say by USCIS and sent out on the same day. Maybe that was smth on USPS side.

The letters weren’t “missing” - they simply didn’t get delivered at the same time - again nothing unusual that all 4 notices didn’t get delivered at the same time.

Your minor kid’s photo and thumb print still needs to be taken for the GC, so getting a bio notice for a minor is normal. Nothing unusual about it. I’m sure your spouse’s and the other kids notice will show up also soon.

Hi @Sm1smom,
I have a question: my patner is a j1 right now,his status is going to expire on September 30th.
His employer told him that because of he applied for the green card they won t be able to extend the actual j1 after septeber 30th.
So they decide to sospor him for h1b,if worse case scenario,he won t get the green card.
They are going to apply now,because they are going to do the normal process and not the expedite(so the time frame is around 8-12weeks)
My question is:
1.what happen if he get the green card while he is on pending for h1b?
2. He declare on the i485 that he is a J1,during the interview he can just show he "new" status?
3.h1b is dual intent,so it is fine for us,right?

Thanks

You said your “partner” applied for GC - what is the basis of his GC application or you mean your spouse? Anyway, regarding your questions:

1. Nothing. He can cancel the H1B petition at that point if it is still pending.
2. What new status? Has the H1B been approved?
3. Fine in what sense? Has it been approved?

Hopefully, this happens to me and my wife. I got my bi letter, she didn't. Good luck @Gata2203

Yes,he is my spouse,so he applied as my derivate.

He did not applied yet,he is still j1 now.
I told him to ask his company to wait september to applied for his h1b,but they want to apply in a normal time so no fast way.

My question is: if the company will apply now,it is possible that by the time of the interview, he will be a j1 holder(no2 years rule), with h1b pending, that is doing a GC interview.
I need to know that this won t be a problem,otherwise he will try to ask to the company to wait.

Can you see my point?

Does

I don’t see a problem.
 
Hi mom,
Today I received a notice from USCIS about biometrics scheduled on August 3 (status on website didn't change - New card is being produced).
The letter looks similar to the one I had for the interview. Can I safely ignore it or just arrive there to find out why I need bio again?

It is hard for me to answer your question without knowing anything about your case. You need to provide more insights to your case. How long has it been since you filed? Which stage of the process is your case at? And what is your definition of “a long wait”?

Dear @Sm1smom,

Thank you very much for your reply! I've submitted I-485 for more or less 3 months and now I just got NOA letter.
That's why I need to think about what I can do to push my case. ``A long wait" means that if there is no progress for whole month in August after submitting a request to congressman or senator. If so, should contact another congressman or senator? Thank you!

Ok!
This is answer question!
Thanks!

Another question: after that i submittef my document i move in another apt,now i was able to check periodically the mail.in my old apartment as long it was empty,but now it is rent!
I left a message to the new tenants, but maybe they won't call me in case of a letter.
What i should do?
Should i contact the local post office around my old apartment and ask them to hold my mail?rent a mail box there?(i should think about that before,i know!)

Moreover my spouse wrote in the i485 form that his mail adress is his workplace,but USCIS keep going to send him the letter to his fisical address,so our old apt!

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I think the NBC is just catching up with their part of the process. I think the rest of the Phoenix folks will probably get the bio notification letter too. My instinct in this case will be to ignore it since bio was conducted during your interview and your online status now shows CPO. But give the USCIS 1800 number a call first to hear what they have to say.

USPS does not forward or redirect USCIS mail, they’re prohibited from doing so. The mail must either be delivered to the andress on the envelope or be returned back to the USCIS a undeliverable.

I honestly don’t have any suggestion on what you can do in this case.

I hope you have informed delivery turned on for your old apartment! When I called USCIS last Friday the tier 2 rep told me that if I don’t receive the biometrics letter which was sent out on Thursday, I could contact them to have it emailed. So if you have informed delivery at least you know when to contact.

Any reason to believe this? True or False?
What a time to be alive, when you read several articles and you have no clue whether it's a Ctrl+C Ctrl+V clickbait or legit news.

Hi Marco,

It’s legit. USCIS postponed the furloughs until the end of August. Once members of the Senate Appropriation Committee found out about USCIS estimated surplus for the current fiscal year, it made it pretty hard for USCIS leadership to continue with the planned furlough. We’ll have to wait the next two weeks to see if the emergency funding proposal being discussed in Congress gets approved or not.
