DV 2020 AOS Only

Hello all,


I made a mistake in my date of birth when i registered in Diversity Visa Program. I am sending my AOS package to Chicago Lockbox. Regarding i-485 form should i put the correct date of birth or the one that i entered in Diversity Visa Program selection?

I also called KCC for mentioned issue and ask the how can i correct my date of birth. They said you cannot make any change in the original entry. I am kinda worry about my AOS package. Because i should also include a Copy of DV2020 Selectee Notification Letter, is there any chances they reject my AOS package if they realize there is a difference in my date of birth in my passport page and DV2020 Selectee Notification Letter?

Should i write for them in a separate paper and explain that i made the a mistake regard to my date of birth in original entry and include that paper in my AOS package OR it is better to wait to explain them this issue at the time of my interview? In general, how should i inform them of this issue?


Thank you so much!

Fill out the AOS forms with your correct date of birth. That’s all you need to do. If the DOB discrepancy is likely to come up, it will be at the interview stage.
 
Hi @Sm1smom I have an interview scheduled on the 20th August at Los Angeles field office. The Los Angeles County FO has been closed since 27th July until further notice. I know I have over a week till my appointment but would you recommend doing anything to follow up/enquire or just be patient and hope it reopens before next Thursday? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I’m in the same boat. My interview is on the 25th. Initially the ASC lady told me that the closure is related to the protests (may be something else too). I’ve been keeping track of them and things seem to be calmer now. Not sure if we can do anything about it, since I had an appointment at the LA FO on the 27th and the lady called me to change locations (for biometrics). Not sure if they would do the same for interviews. But I hope they will open doors by next week. It’s been a while.
 
@Sm1smom,
So today I got an email it is exactly the same as the one I got in mid June after filling for eRequest. Interesting part is that I didn’t file and eRequest this time. Could’ve that been 2 tier Rep I spoke with on August 7th? The only difference from mid June respond is that now it says you “will get some kind of respond from us in next 60 days” they said 90 days in mid June.... Also my online status changed today to “as of August 10th we are ready to schedule your interview”. This is third time they are ready to schedule my interview. This is so ridiculous that I have no words to describe my feelings. Like I don’t even have 60 days to wait what’s going on with my FO?
Also I have nothing from my congressman office. Mom, what should I do, please advise? Should I wait for something in my mail as the 2 tier rep said I should get from last’s week “canceled your interview”?

Considering you haven’t received an interview cancellation notice, I recommend you plan on going to your FO as scheduled. While the website may indicate the FO is closed, they may still be partly opened and processing certain cases. I don’t think you need to do anything else outside of that for now.

Our principle applicant got "new card is being produced" this morning, but another applicant is still at "fingerprints were taken" after 5 hours. Is it normal that there is some time lag between the cases filed together? Thanks!

Yes, not unusual. Principal applicant may be approved while the beneficiaries may be delayed due to background check clearance; beneficiaries may end up been denied due to issues unrelated to the principal applicant; or the IO might have had an oversight with updating beneficiary’s online status.

You can initiate an Ombudsman Case Assistance if you like or continue being patient and wait a couple more weeks before calling USCIS again.
 
Hi @Sm1smom
I received a call from IO for the appointment of interview and bio in the FO. I had my interview last Friday and the IO let me do the biometrics in the FO after the interview. But I received the ASC appointment notice for biometrics after I got home, it's on next Monday (08/17). Should I go to ASC to get the bio again? And the Io said the status will be changed on that day, but it's still the same.
Is there anyone in the same situation as me?
Thank you !

Are Ombudsman aware of DV time frames and how long does it take to receive their assistance? Is there a need to attach a separate letter to them describing a situation?

Thank you for your help!! I’m praying everyday to be processed in time and now also praying for my home country and everything that’s happening there right now. Doesn’t look like I can get there anytime soon even if my case gets denied... ;-(

Yes there are others in similar situation such as you’ve described. If you look at the last couple of posts on the last couple of pages of this thread, you’ll see similar posts. And you would have seen my response to them also. The NBC is playing catch-up. You should nonetheless attend the bio appointment if there’s no approval update as at the bio scheduled date.

I already gave you a link to what else you can do. Just follow the instructions on the website and stop second guessing or trying to figure out everything upfront.
 
Hi mom,
I had submitted a congressional inquiry into my case and since i hadn't gotten a good response for a couple weeks i submitted an expedite request. My case status shows that the expedite request was completed. Surprisingly, on the same day, I got response from my congressman saying my interview was scheduled and today I received a notice from USCIS too.
So my question is should I call USCIS and ask if my expedite request was approved or should i just ignore it and assume that it was approved?

You already got useful information about your case, of what relevance is knowing the outcome of the service request supposed to be?
