2. Where are you seeing this update? On EGov where you just use your case receipt or My Account where you actually create an account for case status updates?

Good morning @Sm1smom
This morning i spoke with a 2 tier representative. She was aware of the dv program. When she looked at my file, she told me that someone look at my file on March 9, but does not see an interview scheduled. She also told me that when i received the letter from the FO where they refused my expedite, i could write and send a letter to the FO in order to explain my situation.
1) A doubt come in my mind. How she can see that someone look at my file? Is that possible?
It seems a little bit strange

A Tier 2 rep can certainly see more than you can see online on your own (which is the same thing the front line reps see when one calls). I however don’t know exactly what they are able to see. If the system the Tier 2 rep is checking from has an audit trail built into it, then yes they will be able to see listed dates of when a case file is viewed/opened/edited, etc.

The short answer to this is “long enough”. Several factors will determine the “how long” question - specific details required in order to make an informed decision. Plus the timeline spreadsheet is a great tool for determining if a specific case is outside the average timeline reported by others.
after I created my account and entered my case status. I also called and talk to them! They said nothing at all rather than waiting! But it is totally weird! It’s been a month, while all other cases in spreadsheet show about 10-14 days

Unfortunately, you haven’t answered the actual question I asked in my previous post, this makes it hard for me to assist any further.
We received our Green Cards in the mail earlier today. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helps out and answers questions here. This forum was a HUGE resource. To those who are still in the process or just about to start, my best advice is to literally go through ALL THE TABS in the google docs form and read them SEVERAL TIMES. There is so much there and our process was absolutely hassle-free because of the info listed there. Special thanks to Sm1smom for answering the hard questions and also to BritSimon who continues to provide great info on the DV process. Good luck to everyone!

A question regarding form I-944.
If I want to list a house as an asset should I choose "Real Estate Holdings" or "Other" as type of Asset?

There should be two tabs on the account: case status and documents - do you see both?

My suggestion would be to wait considering several work places in California are getting shutdown due to COVID-19.

Thank you. I have another dumb question. When reporting how much I have in my saving account I should report it after subtracting $1225 application fee from my account and report the remaining? I have to show a bank statement as an evidence to support what I have written in form I-944 and when I have not filed my personal check the check isn't cashed I should report may saving account based on my bank statement which shows the amount before subtracting $1225 or based on actual money I have at the time?
Hi @Sm1smom,
My number will finally be current in May and I am the only person in this application. I have mentioned a couple of questions regarding to OPT extension in the past but I want some advise from you. I had submitted the DS-260 form in awhile ago, then edited and resubmitted in February which will show my immigration intent.
My question is:
1.) I will be valid for OPT-extension in the beginning of April. Will a pending OPT-extension application slows down the process of AOS that I will be submitting in May? Currently I do not have any fallout option if my AOS doesn't get process in time and gets denied. Meanwhile I do not have any data about my local field office (Mountain State Region) processing any DV cases which I am a little concern about any delays comparing to other major or bigger field office that had experiences.
2.) Since I submitted my DS-260 with the State Department, but my OPT extension and my future adjustment of status application are with Homeland Security. The form I fill out for my OPT extension does not ask if you have any petitions or adjustments pending, it only asks my current status is and the status I had when I entered the United States. Do you think USCIS would even know I have a submitted DS-260? If so it should't matter?
3.) Regarding to the Form I-944, I made above the Poverty guideline for 1 household (around 40k per year in the U.S.) but I do not have a lot of saving. I pay for everything under my employment through OPT moreover I can lose that job if I do not have a valid work permit in July. I have about $1,500 in my saving and lots of the money can be gone after all the fees. I have an U.S. family that are willing to sponsor me and they have enough incoming to do so. Should I also file I-864 Affidavit of Support or do you think it is too extra? If I have to file a I-864 what will I have to request them to provide beside the submitted.
I just want to make sure I am doing everything correctly and legally. Your advises are very important to me as I am not too sure what actions I should take at this point... Thank you so much for your support it has been a long process and I thank you for all your knowledge!
Thank you so much for everything!

Yes of course! It's not letting me attach a link, but our interview experience post is #1500 on page 75 of this thread.
1.Are you planing to get an appraisal for the real estate holdings?
2.I think you should report the current balance on your account regardless of the $1225 fee (unless you use a cashiers check).
