DV 2020 AOS Only

[mmmb]

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

We have received the green card which has DV6 category for the dependent and DV7 for the main applicant.
Wondering if it matters or not.

Glad to have been a part of the group that made the journey less lonely for you Congratulations again.

Please update the timeline spreadsheet if you’re yet to do so.

All updated. Thanks so much again for providing such platform to me and many others. I'll be forever grateful.

Now, that is a new. I don’t recall coming across a situation where the DV categories got mixed up on the GC. I’m guessing you’ll need to apply for replacement GC at USCIS’s expense (since the error is from their end). I suggest calling the 1800 number first though, and possibly speak with a tier two personnel about this before.

Same situation here (7/28 - interview, 8/4 -bio) :/

Opened a service request and here's the answer I got :
"The status of this service request is:
We are waiting for your Service file to arrive at our office for review before a decision can be made on your case."

A very nice Tier2 representative told me that the officers need to review all previous visas/ US entrances (Tier2 representative example: If you visited the US when you were 7, they need to get those files if you came on a student visa after that - they need to internally receive those files, etc)
I visited the US multiple times on multiple visas (never overstayed). Tier2 representative also confirmed my background check was done and clear

My case was updated to "New Card being produced" today.

MA / 8/3 bio / X
WA / 8/3 bio / O
CA / 8/4 bio / O
TX / 8/7 bio / O
TX / 8/13 bio / O
NY / 8/13 bio / X
CA/ 8/19 bio / O

For your information, these are the timeline of what I have done and what I was told.
8/3 bio test
8/19 called USCIS (tier 2) >> "wait"
8/26 called USCIS (tier 1) and made a service request >> "wait"
9/3 requested the ombudsman's help
9/5 requested house representative's help
9/8 response from the house representative >> "we talked to USCIS about your case so wait"
9/9 am response from the ombudsman >> "we talked to USCIS about your case so wait"

I really cannot judge if these requests worked or not, but I did everything I could do.
I am really hoping everyone can graduate from this team as soon as possible,
and I am going to watch this team until the last moment.

First of all, thank you soooo much @Sm1smom, @SusieQQQ , @Britsimon, and everybody here that helped with so much information that I didn't find anywhere else.
My case was updated to "New Card being produced" last night after pending since my bio appointment on 8/4.

Thanks again, good luck everyone!!

I went and looked back into our 485 forms, and saw that both of the forms had part 2 (5.a and 5.b) empty.
I'm guessing the error was done in the first step from Chicago Lock Box, since the dependents USCIS case number is lower than the main applicants (don't know if it means anything). However, since the 1NL had the main applicant's name on it, this should have not happened.
Especially that the interviewing officer also went through both of our forms carefully but never mentioned anything.

Would this mean that the entire process has to repeat and be adjunct before the end of Sept?

Hi, I've got a question.
So, based on tracking, my GC was supposed to be delivered by 7pm tonight. However, it wasn't and now I have a message saying package available for a pickup. Do I have to go to the post office in person tomorrow to pick it up? I'm confused.

I don’t get what part 2 (5a and 5b) which is about Refuge or Asylee status has to do with the code though, not sure why you were double checking it.

The case/receipt number order doesn’t have anything to do with the codes either. No, the process will not be repeated. Your approved LPR status is not impacted.

Hmm,,what kind of residence are you in? Mail to my kid’s dorm is sometimes marked like that when it goes to their mailroom (I don’t understand why but it’s happened a few times). Otherwise contact USPS in the morning to ask I guess?

I'm in a private house, second floor with a separate entrance and separate mailbox. Sometimes my mail does get into my landlords mailbox, but didn't have problems like this. The only thing that comes up my mind is that maybe they didn't have time to deliver it today so they will maybe do it tomorrow.
I will visit my local post office in any case first thing tomorrow morning.

Hm ok not sure then. Possibly just a delay but I’d find out in the morning.

I was simply checking the form to see in which location the information of the main applicant should have been filled in the dependent's form.
The section I was referring to states: "If you are a derivative applicant (the spouse or unmarried child under 21 years of age of a principal applicant), provide the following information for the principal applicant. Principal Applicant's Name ..."

I didn't know this section is for refugee or asylum status.


Thanks for letting us know that the LPR is not affected.

You said part 2 (5.a and 5.b) which shows the below snippet in the I-485 I am looking at right now.



The below section is where one is supposed to indicate whether they are the Principal applicant or Derivative; (maybe were both looking at different versions? I don't know



Anyway, call the 1800 number as earlier recommended.

I think you are right. I'm looking at the older version as we submitted before Feb 24th (Form dated 07/15/19).
In the version I'm looking at there is no option for selecting the principle or derivative.
Below is the snippet of what I see.

It means you haven’t made the required payment! Without that payment, KCC will not send your requested case file to your FO. And without the KCC file, your IO cannot approve your AOS application.

How did you miss the fact that this payment needed to have been made???? You didn’t go through the AOS process spreadsheet?

September 8th, 2020 I received an interview invitation by mail on September 17th interview and paid KCC fees today 09/10/2020.
There is one week left before the interview and I send a letter with fees to KCC just today. How do you think KCC will have time to send our files before our interview, given the fact that there is one week left before our interview?

I don't understand why you copied this post to my private message, the idea is that all the information is shared so that it can be helpful to other people with cases similar to yours and for the next DV winner. Also I remember back in August you were passed the link for the timeline doc sheet like you asked and you haven't filled out the missing information. Then I asked you for the missing info so that I could write it down on the timeline doc sheet myself, and you never replied.

1. I don't know about this topic so you will have to either wait for @Sm1smom or another forum member to answer this. Or you could actually read

Don't be so angry, I just didn't figure it out and first sent you a private message and the moderator as it was required of me on the site. After that, having figured it out, I sent my message to everyone. I was simply mistaken, and I don't need your answer from someone like you. There is enough negativity in our history. I'm glad you passed the interview. People probably change after that. God bless you.

Did you send in the payment by courier or regular mail? If you sent it by courier, it’s possible KCC may be able to send the file by your interview date.

 

[FDV]

I sent form KCC and our many orders in an envelope with Priority Mail Express USPS.

Ok. You’ll just have to wait and see then.

Thanks, I will definitely update the spreadsheet later. I have one more question about KCC. Maybe I should contact them from Monday and ask about our files? And how can I call or contact them to find out about our files?

Hi mom @Sm1smom , I have a question.
I realized I used pubic benefits before. It's Medi-cal. I think three times at parenthood in four years. Last time was last year. Those were non cash benefits. So I don't know how much they cost each time. I paid my medicine though. My friend mentioned about this today that was one of public benefits.
I already submitted i-944, and I checked "No" for all public benefits question.
I have my interview next week so I'm gonna bring this card and I'll fill out the public benefits page on i-944. Anything else what I should do ?
I sent I-134 with I-485 and I-944 for financial support. My boyfriend who is citizen filled out and submitted some evidence.
