DV 2020 AOS Only

Hi everyone! I just saw that my status updated to 'New card is being produced', so I think my interview got waived!!!

Also, I mentioned that I am a laser scientist getting a PhD in the US, but I didn't mention that I was from Russia as well (that must have been why the clearance took so long, today was the first update since the biometrics on 08/03). So there is hope, @quiver80 and @Reiden !

Yaaaaay! Thank you so much for your help and support, everyone. This is an incredible source!
 
Hello all,

I just received my Green Card in mail today!!!

I want to thank everyone in this forum for their helpful insight and special thanks to @Sm1smom & @SusieQQQ. I am 100% sure that I would have not been able to do this alone without you (I even talked to a lawyer back in October and they did not have any knowledge at all about AOS process through DV Lottery).

Thank you all again for everything and I wish everyone in this forum good luck in every step of their life.

Hi @wen0215
I contacted to Kamala Harris and her staffs did their work for 1 week, a day ago I got a response from them about my interview date, but it happened after I got an official email from USCIS.
 
Hey guys,
It is over a week now, no change on my status. I am really worried. Is there same situations after being interviewed? Most of you guys knew that you will be approved, but officer was very strict with me and didn’t say anything. Is it a bad sign? thank you

Okay, explanation noted.

Meanwhile can I encourage you to stop being so negative about your case? I know you're trying to prepare yourself in case of a negative outcome, I honestly don't think that is the right attitude to approach this process with.

Noted! :) Just to add, whatever is the outcome, I'm doing my best to increase the chances... I'm working on logistics right now for my wife's interview. Your advices are very helpful, thank you for that!
 
@Molly77 how was your interview on September 2nd?

Could you tell us more about what happened in the interview? You said that he was very strict with you. What's your current status and where i your field office located?
 
Hi guys,

I also just received my green card in mail today (9/10). :)

My case was updated to "New card is being produced" last week (9/3). I wasn't given any USPS tracking number on USCIS - My Cases website. I called the generic USCIS phone number, and the automated voice provided me a tracking number after entering my case #. You can ask the automated machine to either send you a text message or email for the tracking details.

With that, it's been quite a journey. I'd also like to sincerely thank @Sm1smom for all of the valuable insights she provided. And I'd like to thank all of you for keeping this forum updated and being supportive to one another. This long journey felt a little less lonely knowing that I wasn't alone experiencing delays, etc.

Bestest luck to those who are still waiting to move with their cases.

I had contacted Congressman Adam Schiff's office in mid June. They were extremely helpful escalating my case with the LA Field Office and Department of State. (I had sent them a signed authorization email first, explaining my status, and then called them.)

Just pick one and follow the guidance provided on their website on how to contact them for case assistance.

A week isn’t an unusually long period of waiting. Just be patient.

Have there been cases where the USCIS has mistakenly put the derivative applicant as the main applicant?
If so, is there a negative outcome?

Your question is coming across as rather generic, you’ll need to be a bit more detailed in order to get an appropriate response.

Hi!

We also got our official GCs in our mail just now! My status changed to "Card was picked up by USPS" on egov.uscis this morning but we have them in our hands now already! I want to thank everyone here for all the questions and information you have. They helped me greatly and made me achieve getting this status on my own.

It feels like I'm graduating from here but my heart's with those who are still in the final steps. Best wishes to all of you!
