DV 2020 AOS Only

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?

Yes you can use downloaded online version.
 
By the way, is your timeline on the 2020 spreadsheet? I don’t think I came across it.

I haven't filled it out yet, will do it shortly.
I have another question, please advise.

I only applied for AP travel document since I have my EAD card through OPT and back then i didn't expect this catastrophic situation. But having an concern about the delaying the whole immigration process, is it possible for me to re-apply for EAD card now?
Could you please let me know what is the process for re-applying and obtain the new EAD card?
Can I stay in US with the new EAD card with expired F1 visa after June?

my current EAD card will be expired by mid-July. Furthermore, F1 visa will be expired in June. I have 60-day grace period, which allows me to stay in US until September; however during the grace period, I cannot work legally. That's my understanding.

Thank you in advance!
 
first covid, thn uscis closure and now this, what is gonna happen to us all who have submitted applications. My interview got canceled earlier due to covid uscis closure, and now i am concerned if that will even happen!

You’ll be allowed to remain in the country even if your current status expires while your AOS petition is pending, you just wouldn’t be able to work without an approved EAD in that case.

If you wish to apply for an EAD at this point you’ll need to send in the I-765 form plus the NOA USCIS sent you for your I-485. No payment required because of the NOA.
 
Thank you so much Mom, really appreciated. I have another question is that
Can we go to ASC for fingerprint bio after USCIS reopen as a walk-in bio without waiting to reschedule?

You can give it a try, I don’t know if you’ll be allowed to do the bio at the ASC.
 
I also think it will not impact the AOS. But on the other hand, if he wants all Americans to go back to work, we are the first people who pretend to "take their workplaces", so it makes sense to stop us from pretending to take jobs from Americans.....I do not know... please share your opinions and thoughts who have read or heard anything....
 
[QUOTE = "Valeriezzzzz, publicación: 2520252, miembro: 428894"] También creo que no afectará al AOS. Pero, por otro lado, si quiere que todos los estadounidenses vuelvan a trabajar, somos las primeras personas que pretenden "ocupar sus lugares de trabajo", por lo que tiene sentido evitar que pretendamos tomar empleos de los estadounidenses ... No sé ... por favor comparta sus opiniones y pensamientos que han leído o escuchado algo ... [/ CITA]

Hi. Why do you think it will not affect AOS?
 
Would that be why the bulletin has been delayed so much this year? I am still waiting to send out my AOS as I am projecting my CS to be shown in the next bulletin. Each day that goes by, I feel like am losing time.
 
Hey guys,

Can I caution you to not litter this particular thread with speculations of what may or may not happen based on a tweet?

This is the only thread dedicated to DV based AOS process in the forum. Let’s wait until an official announcement comes out following which we can all try to figure things out.

Speculating at this point is a waste of time, in addition to it constituting some unnecessary clutter. There’s already an existing thread in the forum for that. Therefore, subsequent speculative posts on the AOS thread regarding this issue will be deleted.
 
I'd like to share some updates. We've sent our AOS package on March 30 (our CN will be current on May), and today we've received our confirmation notice I-797C. It says that our case is on processing and we should wait for biometrics appointment notice.
So, this again indicates they're working and hopefully, everything will be resolved soon. Thank you maintaining this forum.
 
Hi Mom,
I have a CN around 30000 Asia region, and if we look back to the previous years the Asia region had usually gone current around jun or july. Based on data, if i think my number would be current on June and there is only 2 months left, is it reasonable to do my medical examination and send my AOS package without waiting for the next VB report? THank you.

You must wait for the VB that covers CN to be released before you can send in your AOS package otherwise the package will be rejected.
 
I sent in my package on Thursday 4/16 and just got the acceptance text! Does acceptance text means that the package is reviewed and accepted? I guess what I mean is if there were any issues with the package they would return it before acceptance right?
