DV 2020 AOS Only

raikkonen said:
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

1. Yes, USCIS will reschedule when they resume in-person operations.
2. Not applicable if your petition was submitted before Feb. 24th.
3. You can’t speed up the process, you may be able to follow up on the case and eventually get your FO to proceed with your case (assuming they’ve overlooked it for some reason) however there’s nothing you can do at this point anyway due to the shut down.

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.

You are absolutely correct. I'll file by myself then.

Thank much for your reply.
I am afraid that my FO will be busy after opening and will not catch up until end of September. Do they give priority for our dv based aos case to complete everything end of September? or is it possible not to get GC due to their busy operations.

Best,

All the FOs will be pretty busy after they re-open, not just yours. The FOs are already aware of the need to prioritize DV based AOS cases, they’ve been doing this for years and they will continue to do so. But of course, there’s no guarantee all 2020 DV based AOS cases will be approved by the end of the FY. I can’t give you the reassurance you’re seeking, for now you’ll just have to remain patient.

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.

Thank you for your reply! We will use Driver's Licence then.
 
Would it be okay to file I944 with 2018 tax return? Due to the tax deadline extension to July, I have not yet filed return for this year.

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

I did the same, with equitax I get my credit report.
The credit report is not supposed to have the credit score.
To have it you have to require it (and you have to pay 12.5$).

Yes it is fine, but you have to report Anyway the 2019tax and just check 'that you are going to file before the end of the tax year' (or something like that)
If you will have a interview after July you have to show the transcripts of both, 2018 and 2019 tax returns (i think that it is better that to present both also if you have the interview before July)
anyway if you read the instructions this part is very clear and also the part of the credit score report and credit report. They did a good job with the instructions
 
Is it even worth applying for AOS at this time? With the current processing times, wouldn't it be of better odds to do Consular Processing instead? This COVID19 paranoia is extremely taxing!

I am at NY office. went to biometric at Brooklyn ASC. Timeline and case number wise, I am very similar to this person last year at the bottom.

So NY FO on average took roughly about 91 days (longest number of days from bio completion to interview date amongst all the NY FO’s reported cases on the spreadsheet, which is what I recommend to go by, not just based on one specific case). Based on that, yes you might have received your IL back in March, if USCIS hadn’t shut down on in-person services due to COVID19.

If you went through the AOS process spreadsheet, you would have noticed where it says there will be no additional online case updates, until after the case gets adjudicated. Your FO is quite familiar with DV based AOS petitions. Nothing else you can do at this point but to continue to wait patiently.

Your call as to which process you consider better for you.

Yes, all of us will be patient. My other question is about timeline of FO, my FO is Raleigh,NC and I couldn't find any timeline for DV based AOS in Raleigh,NC FO. Do you have any rough timeline for the FO's?

You can get credit report and score together with from Experian. It has one-month free trial that you can sign up and then you can opt out of your membership after getting your report.

Are you refer to just the 2020 Timeline spreadsheet or did you check the past ones from from 2011 - 2019? I’m certain that FO is listed somewhere there.

By the way, I can’t seem to find yours either on the 2020 Timeline spreadsheet, you should update it with your info also.

Everyone consulting and utilizing the timeline spreadsheets should update with theirs also. That’s how you all get to know of what’s going on with everyone’s case in the current year. That’s how to make the spreadsheet useful to all going through the process at the same time.

Sorry, I am pretty new to the forum. Where is that spreadsheet from 2011 to 2019? It would be very useful, thank you. Let me update my case timeline as well.
 
Hello Mom,
please help me understand. Can I order a certified translation of documents (diploma, certificate, birth certificate, etc.) online and get just scans by email? or I need printed original translations by mail?
