DV 2021 AOS Only

Thank you.
2. AOS Process-> G5 -> Remember to include SASE with the form and your payment fee
You mean AOS Process-> G8 = it is referring to the DV administrative fee payment (that cell is just serving as an additional reminder to include the cashier's check or money order, and the SASE - to not just send in the payment form which they've filled out only)
 
Hi Mom!

I noticed that my Self addressed priority mail envelope have been stucked for four days when I tracked it. When I contacted USPS, they say that they may have lost the mail. I tried to contact KCC and there's phone is not working. What could I do in this situation? I am afraid that I wont able to send the package without the receipt though my cashier's check has been cashed

Could it be "stuck" because KCC is yet to drop it back in the mail hence USPS's inability to track? You can exercise some patience for a couple more days. Meanwhile, I suggest you take a look at the FAQ section of the AOS Process Spreadsheet for more on DV payment related questions.
 
Hi all, my case number is 2021SA00034XXX. Now I am an international student with F1 Visa staying in US. I plan to go back to my country at the end of May and come back to US at July. My question is:
Will I still be able to leave and enter the US after filing DS-260 if I decide to run AOS process?
Thanks,
Why would you waste so much time from AOS? I mean - yes you can and probably will be successful applying AOS in July but it seems to add a lot of unnecessary stress doing it so soon before FY end. And there is always a risk, however small, of them not allowing you back in to AoS.

I guess no. USPS had picked the item. Following is the exact tracking. It has been stuck on the final entry for 4 days, (each day it would just update the date.)

Hey! I couldn’t find through search, so I’m sorry if I’m repeating the question. The form I-944 was suspended, so no more action required with this form. We don’t need to fill out the form, right?

Hmm.. when I did a search just using “i944“it brought up quite a few recent posts stating clearly it is no longer required.

The form is no longer required, which is why it is no longer listed on the AOS process spreadsheet. You can scroll back to page 119 of this thread to read about previous conversations around this.
 
I want to submit my DS260.
The question "Do you want to adjust status without leaving the United States?" is locked to my home country, while I can edit the rest of the questions.

I have opened my form but not submitted it earlier this year ( "incomplete (IV application)" ), so I am not sure why it is locked.

Is emailing KCC and asking to unlock it the only option? And if so, approximately how long does it take them to unlock the form?

Once that section is filled out and saved, it automatically gets locked up regardless of if the DS260 has been submitted or not. Changes to that section can only be done by notifying KCC.

Note, KCC does not unlock that section even if you send in a request, they will however take note of the processing change you’re requesting and act accordingly with regards to your DV selection processing.
 
I called two places to enquire about pricing for the Medical Exam:

The first one said that it could amount up to $700 - $1000. They were charging $356 for the Medical Exam and Laboratory test alone. The required paperwork in a sealed envelope (I-693) was gonna cost another $250. I was surprised!

The second place had a complete package. They bundled the price (Medical Exam + Laboratory testing + all required paperwork in a sealed envelope) for $250/adult. Vaccinations are extra but not super expensive. They even asked me if I had insurance without me even mentioning it. It's amazing how the pricing can vary from doctor to doctor. Plus it's located at the USCIS Tampa Field Office! I have an appointment on Monday.
 
1. All non-immigrants are required to submit an AR-11 whenever they move to a new address within 10 days of the move.
2a. Look at the “Abbreviations” tab of the AOS process spreadsheet for the definition of 2NL
2b. “there is an email from KCC (2nl confirmation notice from KCC)” - you already answered your own question regarding how you should receive it - “an email”
Thank you, Mom!

I didn`t notify within 5 days, so does it make sense to tell them now (that I changed my address)?
 
Thank you.

They ask: Have you filed an immigration-related application or petition and have not yet received a decision notice, card, or document?

I haven`t filed an application yet, I only participated in a lottery and was selected, that`s all I`ve done by far. So should I just respond "No" to this and change the address in the next section (it still allows to change when you respond "No")?


Appreciate.
