hi,

sorry for the question:
Should I send the documents with the original signature and keep a copy for me, or the opposite?

Thanks

The answer is “it depends”. And the question for you is precisely which “documents” are you asking about. You need to be specific in order to get the most accurate response.
 
this might be out of context but moderators do you think due to the covid-19, USCIS will slow down the interview scheduling concerning they might have few people to work or even close down some location (like Seattle currently).
I am just concerned since I have been already waiting for 73 days for my interview letter from SF FO.
 
I am actually the one who is waiting for the interview letter from the Seattle field office. I read on their website that they were about to move cases to the nearest offices. I have been waiting for the letter for more than 2 months already. I am not sure if I need to take any action at this point.

yes, sorry you are in right!
In reality I was wondering about the forms no the documents (I485, I944, I131).
 
Hello,

I am a DV selectee and currently student here in United States. My Visa bulletin will be current in Aprill,2020. I work 20 hours in college., so while filing tax for 2017 and 2018, I made a mistake that I choose residential alien instead of non residential alien, so what do I have to do now?

Is it good to amendment the tax filing for the year 2018 and 2017? Is there any other ideas that I can do?

in the other thread you said you met the substantial presence test for those years. That means resident alien was the correct choice.

You can do the correct tax for the year 2019 and include that in AoS package (since for i944 you are required to attached the most recent tax transcript,also you need to provide proof of 3 years of employment for I-485, for this you can use W2s or an employment verification letter). Then while you are waiting for the interview, you can amend the 2018 and 2017 taxes because amending tax takes times (specially during the tax season). So, you might have corrected taxes when the interview is up and you can add them if IO ask. This might not be the perfect suggestion but at least it will give you sometime to correct the mistake.
P.S sooner or later you need to correct these mistakes, so why not do it now. And this is only a suggestion.
 
hi i was looking timeline and there is 2 line that i am confused about it which are bio scheduled date and bio walk in date ?
how some people walk ın before bıo scheduled date ?
 
Hi,

I am currently in the US and working full time on F1-OPT STEM extension (will expire Oct 2021). I recently got accepted to a PhD program in a new school for Fall 2020. Now the school would like me to provide financial support to issue a new I-20.

My number is AS13xxx (which will be current in April) and I have not submitted or started any process yet.

1) Should I wait until the new school issued me a new I-20 (probably will not happen until May/June) before I submit my AOS package? So I will have legal status to fall back in case I get denied.
2) If I don't fill out the DS260 form, will I be getting the 2NL from KCC?

Thank you!

QC

You can try to walk in to do bio as many people at this forum did. In our case we just showed up at the office and asked if we could do our bio today instead of the day indicated in the letter. The officer let us do it so we were able to complete bio two weeks earlier than our scheduled date.

In Seattle, the USCIS officer got infected and it seems to be the reason for the closure of the whole office.
 
Hi Mom,

I won the lottery and I still have not filed Ds260. I will be current in April.

1- Although I have not filed DS260, after I have sent the DV fee to KCC, I received an email from KCC saying that they know about my intention of changing of status. Is this the 2nd NL, or I should wait for such a letter after filing DS260?

2- My address has changed since I won the lottery. I sent the DV fee with my current address. However, I received the receipt with the old address. What should I do? letting USCIS know with AR 11 form or what?

2-1- If yes, what is the answer to the following question? What should I fill as a case number?

Is this change of address for an application or petition currently in progress?

3- I am a PhD student on F1 Visa. My husband has finished his PhD and now is on OPT. We are confused about the form I-797. What exactly is this form for me and my husband?

4- I am on F1 and my husband is on OPT with EAD card. Should any of us/or both fill form I 765?

5- I am on F1 and my husband is on OPT having an EAD card. What will happen to our current status in case we do not get green card by the end of the fiscal year? Should we leave the US?
 
Hi everyone! I was just wondering is a welcome letter the same as an I-797, where it says "Notice Type: Approval Notice". So the welcome letter is the approval notice?
 
I do not know what to think, but i feel little bit down. I am wondering if the coronavirus might affect even the workload of the FOs. I see some schools closed. I still have not received an IL, and I feel that this is gonna never end
 
Hello,
I am a DV lottery winner. I will be current on April according to my calculations. I am confused about something. Can I send I134 sponsor file along with I944 even though I485 doesnt require any I134?
Please let me know as soon as you can since I need to prepare the documents this up coming week.
Thank you,
