DV 2020 AOS Only

I'm just trying to figure out what you mean. You are saying that regardless of time between admission to US and filling i-485 USCIS is gonna consider my application immigration fraud? On what grounds? DV2020 is over and gone unless it gets reestablished by judge or the congress. I'm asking you legal questions not asking for moral judgements against myself.
You've been given an answer you don't like, both Mom and Suzie will no longer engage in the conversation with you yet you are still trying to get help to get around immigration law - ain't gonna happen buddy, no one here will help you commit immigration fraud.
You've been told to process CP, go do that

They did help a lot and I still appreciate that.
What fraud, on what grounds? Look at it from the other angle. If a person applies for DVLottery, goes to US for personal reasons, suddenly gets selected while in US and files I-485 while still residing in US. Was there a preconceived intent in the first place? At the same time any person who's residing in US on NIV or out of status for tech. reasons and applies for DV might've had a preconceived intent at the time of admission. Open the DV 2020 AOS Timeline doc. 80+% of people adjusted their status from non-immigrant. I bet some of them have been abroad between the month of May and the month of filling I-485. You can suspect immigration intent in every single case and perhaps there is, that's exactly the reason why 30/60 and 90day rules were established. And I'm asking here how do I do everything lawfully so I don't get in trouble with USCIS. Yet you prefer to play some gotcha bs instead of helping. Fine.
 
Dude, you've been told multiple times that AOSers might not even be eligible for the extension. So not only you are playing on the edge by clearly having preconceived immigration intent and entering the country nonetheless on NIV, even if all of that is OK chances are you are not going to be even eligible to process through AOS. I don't know what other information do you want or need.

i wasn’t going to waste more time but lol, can you figure out why this sentence is funny?

by the way your previous statement about no immigrant intent because you want to time it before the final judgement is wrong anyway, immigrant intent does not have to be “intent to have a visible path to adjust legally”. If it was there wouldn’t be so many 214b denials for tourist visas.

And I'm asking here how do I do everything lawfully so I don't get in trouble with USCIS. .
This has been answered many times, you just don’t like the answer, which is not to come to the US with immigrant intent in the first place.

And that is officially my last comment on this matter. I don’t like to see people who have a genuine chance at a DV visa throwing it away, but given there are only 9k set aside for DV2020 at least someone else will get a chance.
 
In case someone wonders whether he's gonna be able to Adjust Status if J. Mehta extends fiscal year for DV2020. You likely won't 'cause court order only applies to DepartmentOfState fiscal year and not to FY of USCIS which makes the final decision on the case.
 
And that is officially my last comment on this matter.
Any more extremely useful officially last comments on the matter?
Can't help? Don't worry someone else will. Just stop giving irrelevant misguiding advice based on "I think", "maybe" and "I don't like your intentions". You got your visa and didn't get screwed in the process? Good for you. Were you in other people's shoes in different circumstances you'd understand how f'ed up things can get and how annoying the stupidity mentioned above.

It was already pointed out before that the ruling only applied to visas, and uscis does not issue visas, this is not news. You continually ignored the fact that people were trying to give you the advice that would actually maximize your chances of getting a visa and chose to insult us instead for pointing out that the route you wanted to take wasn’t going to work. Anyway you have now figured that out for yourself, and hopefully you will finally take the advice given all along to go for CP so you can hopefully successfully get a visa. Good luck,

USCIS requests DoS to assign a visa to you. So in the end YOU GET A VISA which automatically turns into GC. No visas left -> no AoS possible. However it was not clear whether USCIS follows a strict FY to FY model, which turns out he does to make sure they don't screw up DoS with using a non-existent anymore visa. Now in our case visas are being carried over to the next FY (possibly) so USCIS might wanna make an exception and use them in such unprecedented circumstances because there's NO LAW prohibiting that. But no one knows 100%. As a matter of fact no one knows anything yet and it's impossible to calculate any chances accurately.
 
After what I've read in the last couple of pages, I'm beginning to think that being a winner in your country might be better than doing AOS.
It entirely depends on a tactic KCC is gonna empoy. If they prioritize Plaintiffs from let's say Kennedy and Ready cases then everyone else is done. We have to wait n see I guess.
 
@Sm1smom Finally received my card today. October 1 they created a request and asked me to not to contact for 120 days. Yesterday in my USPS account I saw a packge with preshipment from USCIS with a tracking number. FInally was able to receive the good thing was while resending thye had signature confimration required. So followed tracking number and finally relieved. Thanks @Sm1smom and all the members who were amazing for past 10 months. Thank you all and have a great time ahead.

August 24, card was returned saying insufficient address
September 05 Retrun to sender processed
September 26, Returned to USCIS MO.
September 28 Updated status as undeliverd in egov.

What a relief! I am so happy for you :) and thank you for returning to update the forum on this closure.

All the best!
 
Hey guys! I have a question. Today I received a mail from NBC for a biometrics appointment even though I already received my green card and did biometrics. At the time of my application process, I just got an infopass for BIO and never received an official letter from NBC. Should I show up in November for the appointment or just not attend at all?

Call the 1800 number, speak to a tier 2 rep to see if they can initiate a cancellation based on your already being a LPR (I think the NBC is still playing at catch up). If the issue is not successfully resolved with the call, I recommend showing up for the appointment, following which the ASC should be able to update your information and cancel the appointment in the system. You don't want your immigration file to be marked as a no-show (if you simply decide to not attend) which may cause unintended confusion some years down the road.
 
Hello! I'm waiting on judge Mehta's final order regarding 9000 reserved DV. What would be more reliable strategy in case he rules in our favor, consular processing or AOS? What are estimated timeframes for DV AOS? Is there a way to expedite it? Thank you!
Hi,
From my personal experience I am ready to confirm that this is not going to happen unfortunately.
In short about my AOS journey.
May, 2019 - winner of DV2020
May 2019-filled out and sent my DV260
The CN was huge 505***
Missed it with all the lawsuits initiated by lawyers, except for the last one by Curtis Morrison but it seems there was no point on that.
September 3, 2020 travelled to USA under B1/B2
September 16, 2020 filed my I-485, I-131, I-765
Sepetmber 30, 2020 the case was accepted and got the receipt numbers
October 9th, 2020 I got the receipt letters
October 20, 2020 interview for biometrics notice
October 21, 2020 I got the ltter that my case was denied on the grounds of not being able to be proceeded by the midnight os September 30, 2020.
Thousands of phone calls to USCIS, emails, converstaions with KCC, 202 officers and thier information line specialists never gave me a clear idea about whether I am eligible for AOS in my case or not. Some of them told me no, some 202 officer told me that as long as I filed my petition and it was received before September 30, 2020 I am good to go.
A congressman was involved in the process to expedite them to accept my case because the time was going by and it was still not registered by the lockbox up until September 30, 2020.
I was ready to take up that risk, I knew it might not work out but decided that if I don't try I would regret not doing that.
I am not sure whether I have a right to participate for CP from my home country among those 9000 reserved visas since I have been rejected for my AOS but this is my story. May be it will help somebody and save somebody elses money, time and nerve cells
