DV 2020 AOS Only

I don't know if this will help to clarify the situation because like mom told me it's like rolling a dice . But I'll put what am sure of and what I learned from my own experience.
When I got selected i didn't think that pending asylum will be an issue but turns out you have to fit a criteria so you can adjust your status while pending asylum.
as we all know to go through AOS as DV lottery you have to be got selected , their is visa available for you at the time plus been admissible.
what i learned is if applied for asylum within one year from states entery was in a valid visa status which you didn't violate your visa category and was inspected and paroled in the border while entering the states. That all means you didn't accumulate any unlawful stay according to the exception in INA 212 under unlawful presence here in fact you are in a lawful stay which make you admissible to states under other categories like dv lottery or getting married if the officer reviewed your asylum case an determined it's not fraudulent.
With that been said that my knowledge that I gathered thro search speaking to a lawyer during my RFE which they asked for my school records to determined the time line about my entry and when I applied for asylum and if i did attended and finished my school while also I didn't break any law about my visa like worked while I was student without having any work permit.
I also spoke with cpl ppl personally went thro this which they didn't have a problem with this issue unfortunately one of them didn't get it for other reasons which is visa availability at the time.
My IO also made sure that is not a problem after he went thro the documents in this topic in fact I asked him what should I do if I got approved should I withdraw the other case he said that well it will be canceled automatically but it's not bad to do so as well but you have to wait until you get the card in hand . note he didn't approve my case at the moment because he was waiting for my asylum case..
I tried to make it short as possible i think it still kinda a gray area for mom ask me anything so if I forget something I might remember a point that is important.

Just completed my interview in San Jose, 2 days before the deadline. An officer was super nice and aware of the deadline. He also put a stamp with a re-entry permit so that I can travel outside of the USA for now. Super happy, thank you everyone for the active participation on this forum and especially Mom!

Hello everyone, I am going to do a small update, any suggestion is welcome. My case is assigned to the Orlando Florida FO, on Wednesday September 22 I sent by express the proof of payment of the fees corresponding to DV2020 to the Orlando, Fl office which was received at 10:34 am on the 23rd of September. Since then I have been following up to obtain an interview but as of today, September 28, this test has not been processed or updated in the system. Both on Friday, September 25, and today, I have spoken with tier 2 officials to see if I could get them to process the requested test and assign me an interview, but despite these officials directing communications to the IO and the FO, nothing has changed. I already contacted my Congressman on Tuesday 22nd and they were going to contact FO but they have not yet given me more information. Tomorrow, September 29 I will play my last card trying an interview without an appointment (walk in) please put me in your prayers tonight. I hope to make it

  • Call USCIS first, to find out if they have any new update. Insist on speaking with a Tier 2 personnel, as the first line personnel sees exactly what you can see online yourself
  • Submit a Non-Delivery of Card E-Request
  • Based on the outcome of the above (if USCIS cannot confirm it was returned to them as undeliverable), you'll need to return to USPS and insist for evidence it was returned to sender as claimed by them.

I called USCIS and spoke to tier 2 officer and she told that she will create a request so that the card would be sent to me again. I confirmed with her is the card with USCIS like 3 times and she said yes. Asked me to call again if card is not received in 2 weeks. She told that the other department resends your card and she will inform them with a note so that they send the card quickly. Fingers crossed hopefully I 'll receive it early. In real dire need of the card.

If you don't get an update about the card being mailed by tomorrow, I suggest you call again. Speak with a teir 2 rep, inform them of the update you got today, and get them to confirm your address again.

And that's why I did not out rightly discourage you back in April, when I told you it was a dice toss. Again, I appreciate the update. I just didn't agree with this part of your post: "i think it still kinda a gray area for mom"

Congratulations.

When did you CN become current? Also can you indicate the first 2 or 3 digits of your CN? The way you have it AF7xxxx is not quite useful to anyone who wishes to compare their timeline to yours.
