DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

I entered US last September 2021 thanks to DV lottery and received my Green Card. Do I have to file taxes for the year 2021 or wait till next year ?
Thanks
 
Hi.
Does anyone know what kind of penalty would I get if I didn't file my tax return by deadline as a greencard holder?
 
I’m so confused of these DS 260 and AOS. I wond the DV 2022, but I haven’t done anything because I’m too afraid of making a mistake. My number will be up in two weeks. What should I do? I am currently living in the US, under O1 visa that will be expired this July 2022. What should I do first, please help..

To start move to the related forum thread - DV 2022 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only, as this one is for 2021 selectees. Since you have dual intent Visa, I am guessing that the AOS route is possible for you. I have no idea what is your embassy, and consular processing capabilities there. There is a similar forum thread for Consular Processing, so you can get familiar with what it looks like as well.

Nobody can make that decision for you, but I guess that would be the first step to decide which route to take AOS or Consular Processing.

Take a look at the pros and cons of both AOS and CP which can be found on one of the tabs of the AOS Process Spreadsheet - then like @Atg already stated above, you decide on which route you believe works best for you. It’s a personal choice you’ll need to choose and own. You’ve already wasted enough time with your indecision so you need to get cracking if you really wish to take advantage of this almost once in a lifetime opportunity you have.
 
Hi there.

Quick question. I completed my Biometrics interview exactly 3 months ago (29th Dec 2021. Currently on an E3 going for DV AOS) but haven't received a letter for on an interview yet. Is this a normal length of time to wait?

thanks!

Looks like you’ve posted your question on the wrong thread. Are you a DV 2021 or DV 2022 selectee? If you are a DV2022 selectee processing AOS, you need to post your questions on the DV2022 AOS Only thread for appropriate guidance.

He’s probably going to have to return home before the process can be completed.

you file an i130. https://www.uscis.gov/i-130 The category will be F2B, adult son/daughter of LPR. Currently it has been taking around 7 years for these cases to get current, you can check F2B in Chart A (final action dates) in the visa bulletin. https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...ulletin/2022/visa-bulletin-for-june-2022.html

some other things to note:
- he has to remain unmarried to stay eligible in this category
- if you become a citizen before the process is completed, then it’s ok if he gets married after that (not before) but then the wait goes longer to around 14 years
- if his authorized stay in the US expires before the process is complete he will have to return home and complete the process through consular processing.
- if his J visa has a two year home residency requirement that will have to be completed or waivered before he can immigrate
 
Dear Mr. Brit,

DV 2021, CN 26,000 Asia. with Curtis on the Goodluck case.

We came to the US in Dec 2021 with my husband who is studying for a master 's degree in Illinois now. We came on a study visa printed on our Turkish passports, F1 category for my husband and F2 for me and my four children. We came from Abu Dhabi, UAE where we have been living for the last 15 years. We are Syrian as per the country of chargeability based on place of birth.

I am writing to ask for your kind advice in order to know and decide, if things moved on with the Goodluck case and visa started to be issued in 2023, what shall we be doing then:
  • Is adjustment of status (AOS) possible for our case because we are in the US now for the past 7 months?
  • If not, what are our alternatives outside the US?
Please give us your insight to what we shall be expecting to do in the future (if Goodluck started to become a real visa issuance in 2023)?

Hi guys,

I had my visa interview on 15th July and the CO approved my case and issued a "Tentatively approved" notice to us. We provided all the docs and the medical at the interview. However, my CEAC status is "Ready" and some of the people (case numbers after us who submitted all the docs) interviewed on that day got their visa status "issued". Could that be a problem? Should I contact the embassy?

Thanks
