Sorry to put it bluntly, grocery stores provide essential services. Interviewing DV based AOS candidates is not essential service.

I understand completely your point, and i agree but there are other stores open too that are doing a good job in assuring social distance. Uscis could handle less interviews in safety. I think that we have to live with the virus, there is nothing to do. I am home with virus as well, and thanks God i am doing good, but we have to keep going and be careful

I don’t think the government can in all conscience tell USCIS employees that they have to expose themselves to this virus, which is what will happen if they are instructed to start routine interviews.. A grocery store employee can choose not to work if they don’t like the risks involved.
I hope you recover quickly. My cousin who is an essential worker caught the virus at his work and has been hospitalized on a ventilator.

You should think of the whole process as a lottery not just the selection part. That you could be among millions and millions of people who registered for the lottery and weren't selected.

I know that feeling, I won after 9 years of attempts

That is so true. Being selected is just the first of many 'lotteries' ahead (the 'case number lottery', the 'how-many-selectees-are-there lottery etc. etc.)
The way I see it, winning the lottery in a year like this with a high CN is equal to not winning at all.

My case number is EU 2000. By the way, i respect different opinions.
Hi All! My wife and I have been waiting for the interview with FO since December. My wife's passport is expiring this May. She was supposed to fly to the consulate this month to renew her passport, but due to the virus the consulate is closed now. So if we are invited to the interview after May and she still has not got her new passport, is there any chance that our AOS application will be approved? Thank you!

Why didn’t you renew the passport since the last time you asked about this back in Oct. 2019? A valid and unexpired document is usually required for ID purpose, so if you have a State issued ID or Driver’s License, the IO may be okay with an expired passport.
Hi Mom,
My case number is 2020AS2XXX , and I have filed my document back in November and have done my biometric in December, 2019. Since then my case status has not been updated on USCIS website for about 4 months. I see on the spread sheet that some people with similar number with me already had an interview earlier this year.
Wondering if there is a way to double check my status with USCIS or somehow expedite my case.
I called them a week ago, but it was such a useless phonecall.
I know this crazy time, they are suspending all the interview process. However, as soon as they are back to operate regularly, I want to make sure my case is DV program and needs to be done in a few months.
My current status is F1 and in OPT period. My F1 visa will be expired by June, and OPT will be by July. I really need to get green card on my hand before my current status will be invalid.
Please share your thoughts. thanks!

The people who already got interviewed, are they in the same FO as you? Interview schedule is FO dependent, so the first basis of comparison FO based, use the timeline spreadsheets (both current and past) to get an idea of how long it takes your FO’s to schedule a DV based AOS interview.
My case no. is 2020AS12XXX (Nepal). I am hoping my case number shows up in the next bulletin which is yet to come out (hopefully tomorrow 4/20/2020) I have opted for AOS looking at what the situation all over is due to COVID. What are the odds that my AOS would go through in time. I am thinking of filing in a couple weeks after engaging a lawyer once the number shows up.

What do you hope a lawyer can do for you that you can’t do by yourself?
Just general paperwork. I have actually compiled everything but I feel like it would be somewhat better if it was looked at by a lawyer. I do have a form specific question though, since form I944 requires "credit score document" what are we supposed to submit. I downloaded credit report but that does not specifically show the Credit score. is a print out of the webpage from Transunion showing the score in its homepage sufficient?
Thanks for your response. Yes, they are in the same FO with me. and based on the timeline last year, my case would have been scheduled the interview even before this covid situation happened. How would you tell USCIS that I am DV program and needs to be prioritized?

You’ll pay someone to simply fill out the forms on your behalf? You think lawyers can’t make mistakes while filing out the forms - countless reports online of lawyers submitting erroneously filled forms on clients’ behalf, just so you know. You’ll go through the trouble of gathering all the documents you need (no lawyer can do that), it makes no sense to me to now hand those over to someone and pay just to transcribe the information. But hey, your case, your money, your call.
Contact Transunion and request your credit report - the last time I ran my credit report, it came with the credit score.

Which FO is this?
Hello,
My number is 2020EU11*** I have a question about my case. Currently, we have filed our application and received payment received mail in February 2, 2020. Our fingerprint appointment date was 27th of March, but due to closing it will be rescheduled automatically right?
2-) My other question is that do I need to file I-944 form and send them to USCIS? Since I have filed at 2nd February,2020, I don't think we need to complete and send USCIS ?
3) Is it possible to speed up the process from our side?
Thanks in advance

What did you exactly import as a "Credit Score Report"? I imported credit report from equifax but it does not show the score.
