DV 2020 AOS Only

Hi Mom. I have submitted my i485, have the NOA, and 2 weeks later lost my job. My understanding is that AOS in the US is safe for now. *However* the executive order also says: those who "do not have an immigrant visa" and "do not have an official travel document other than a visa"
I'm still waiting on the advanced parole document, and don't have the visa, just have the AOS. Does Section 2a ii and iii affect the status of AOS still waiting for the DV and Advanced Parole? Thanks!

See my earlier post on this
Sorry about the job loss
 
Thank you; I read your post about it and that would be amazing. However:

My concern is that I am student (which is "non immigrant" visa not an immigrant visa) , and he is saying that the EO applies to people who do not have an immigrant visa. Provided my status is student (non immigrant). any thoughts about this? I appreciate your help.

Yes I read your post, and the response is still the same. Here’s a slightly longer response than the one I already gave “the EO is not applicable to anyone already in the US who is eligible to process AOS!”

You’re quoting and focusing on a specific paragraph on the EO without tying it to the section where it is written. Do you see the heading of the section you’re quoting from where it says “Sec. 2. Scope of Suspension and Limitation on Entry”? Now tie back the paragraph you’re focusing on to the section heading and answer this question, is someone who is already in the US seeking an entry to the US? it should all make sense now I hope.
 
Hi,I'm one of those who have intended to do CP but I have decided to switch to AOS instead because of the developing situation. DS-260 I have already submitted.
Can you let me know, to what email address should I send and email regarding my intention to switch from CP to AOS?

Go through your Selectee NL - KCC’s information and how to contact them is listed on it.
 
well, we need to fill out the passport number and expired date.
wondering if it is expiring too soon, they would be suspicious about it...

Why would they be suspicious about the passport expiration date. It’s irrelevant to the approval process.
 
Probably dump question but I have no experience with cashier checks. I went to the bank and asked them for cashier's check and showed them a copy of AOS - Fee payment information from travel.state.gov. They gave me the check with Pay to the order of DEVERSITY VISA LOTTERY FEE AMOUN. No other information from about case number, etc. Also money immediately went out of my account. Is it normal? Should I sent it with envelope? I was expecting that the bank will send it with all the info. Thanks

Hi everyone,

USPS delivered my package to Lockbox on 4/17 and on 4/20 I received the acceptance text and on 4/21 my status was showing "Fingerprint Fee was Received". Looking at the timeline spreadsheet, it seems like things are moving quite fast for me. Is this normal?
USCIS mentioned in the status update that NOA has been mailed to my address. What information is included in the NOA?
 
Hi,

I read the spreadsheet and I was pretty calm about the timing, but now I read about people that sent the document after me and they already receive the acceptance text.
Should I be worry, that I sent the documents April 4th,and still nothing?
How can I check that everything is fine?

Thanks

NOA is the official acceptance notice from USCIS. It contains the receipt number associated with your petition(s) you filed.

Did you include form G-1145 with your package?
 
Yes I did.

You can give the USCIS 1-800 number a call but I doubt you’ll get any useful information regarding the status of your mailed in package. If no notification has been sent by now, (and others who filed after you are receiving them), it probably means your package was not entered into the system due to some reason, meaning the package was rejected and is being sent back to you as such.

OK, thanks!
I will try to call them and wait for the package.

My problem is that in a couple of days I am going to move to another adress, i know that there is a form to change the adress.
Questions
1.if they send me back the package, can I just change the adress on the forms? (but I can't change The address on the medical form)
2.in case they don't send me the back the documents but they ask me for a request of evidence, how can I change the adress?
3.if they send me back the package I can make all the change that I can't on the forms, or not?

1. Fill out new forms with the new address.
2. Chicago lockbox does not send an RFE if there’s an issue with a package, they simply reject and return it with a note.
3. See one above.

In general moving to a different address after sending in the AOS package is a bad idea, typically creates problems. Submitting an AR-11 often doesn’t address the problem, AOS notifications and letters still get sent to the old address resulting in missed appointments. You should have mentioned or asked about this prior to sending in your AOS package.
 
Hello!! It may be a very obvious question / answer, but I'm kinda confused with question 61 (page14) on form I-485

Are you exempt from the public charge ground of inadmissibility?

I think its NO..
