DV 2021 AOS Only

When I download the I-485, the DHS logo on the first page disappears when I fill and print. Does this happen to you too? Is this a problem?

It happened when we were doing it from MacBook. Then we printed the first page from a windows computer and replaced it.
 
Since we didn’t get an interview letter, we don’t have a list of documents to bring to the interview. Other than originals of all documents, is there anything else required? Like recent photos or something?
 
I'm graduating on April 30th and I was hoping to include my graduate certificate in my AOS package but I just found out that it will take approximately 8-12 weeks to receive the certificate.

Is it worth it to ship the diploma cover? Will USCIS accept that?

I actually realize that the I-693 form which I printed for the doctor also does not have the logo. She already sealed it. What should I do?

Do you also have any suggestions @Sm1smom?

I honestly don’t know what logo you’re talking about about. I don’t recall seeing a DHS logo on any of those form.
 
The logo up left corner, DHS one. I listen @gg96 and reprint the first pages of I-485 and replace the first pages.

However, I realize the doctor filled a copy of the I-693 form which also does not have the logo because I printed and gave her. Would that be a problem? The forms edition, barcode, etc everything seems ok, but no logo on I-693.

Hi,
My CN is EU14xxx (current as of May 1st) I was thinking of sending my package earlier next week, would it still be considered early filing if it arrives at the Lockbox at the end of the month?
Thank you in advance!

The logo is irrelevant. Like I said, I don’t (haven’t seen such logo before). As long as the form edition and expiration dates corresponds with what is currently available from USCIS’s website, that is all that matters.

When you printed the form, did you make sure that the scale was set to "Fit to Paper"?

As long as the application arrives at the lockbox before the 1st day of the month in which the case is current, it is considered early filing. It doesn’t matter if it is early by one day, one week, or month, it is still early filing.

Thanks Mom! I also was gonna have 2 separate money orders for I-485 fee + biometrics because usps had a maximum amount of $1000. That wouldn’t cause any problems as soon as the total is $1225, I’m guessing?

Correct. Just make sure you put both together in your package.
 
Hello Mom,

1. For question 16 "Travel document number used at last arrival" in Form I-485 should I write passport? I have already put the passport number and its expiration date in questions 15 and 17, respectively.
2. I am a graduate student and my school offers a TA position every Spring and Fall. My current semester ends in May and I will get my Fall TA offer letter in July/August. Should I just list what I have on the offer letter or I can list the end date as present?
3. I am a reviewer for academic journals in my field of study. Should I answer question 1, Part 8, form I-485 "Have you ever been a member of association, organization,..." yes?
4. I have filed my taxes for 2018, 2019, and 2020. For some reason my 2019 and 2020 tax is still under process. Should I just include the 2018 tax transcript or I Also add the tax return file for 2019 and 2020?
5. What should be the answer to Questions 61 and 62, Form I-485, page 13 if a kid receives Medicaid or a pregnant woman received Medicaid during her pregnancy?
6. My case number is current in May and my package is ready to go. Would it be a wise decision to wait for the first day of the month or take the risk and submit April 20 (does it worth the risk)?

Thank you very much for your time.
