DV 2021 AOS Only

Hello friends,

Since I'm going to send the AOS package again (this time with a check! of course), I'd like to ask/double check with you guys:

My account is for a "Credit Union" which is for my university. Just wanna make sure this is all good? (no need to be a BANK like Chase, etc.?!)

Thanks for your input

Hi all, I have another question here:

1. On I-485, Part 1, 24. What is your current immigration status (if it has changed since your arrival)? If it has not changed, do I just put N/A or do I put my arrival status again?
2. If my bank check doesn't have memo line, can I add one by myself? Will it cause any problem when they cash my check?

I just received my opt approval notice but haven't received my EAD card yet.
3. I found a number that looks like A-number. Since they did not specify what that number is, I am not 100% sure if that is my A-number. Is that ok to put that "maybe A-number" on my I-485?
4. If that number is not my A-number but I put it on my I-485, will that cause any problem?
5. On USCIS website, it said my EAD card was mailed to me so I assume it will arrive next week. I understand that on the spreadsheet, it said copied of EAD card is applicable. If I send my package without it, will I be able to give it to them during interview?
1. Either response would be correct.
2. why mutilate the check by adding something it does not originally have?
3. Is it listed USCIS #? If yes, use it.
5. Yes, if requested.

Yes, credit unions are "banks" too.

5. Yes, if requested.
2. I saw on USCIS website that they recommend that we write the form we are filling and A-number on the memo line.
3. No it is listed like this:

Applicant A xxx xxx xxx
My name

But, there is a box said "USCIS Account Number" and that box is blank. I assume that number is USCIS online account number not A-number. Is that correct?

2. You check however does not come issued with a Memo line though. Add it if you like.
3. I wasn’t asking about the USCIS online account number. You can leave the A# section blank if you’re not sure what the number on the NOA is.
 
1. The sponsor is not required to include an employment verification letter.
2. It doesn't work that way, previous year's income doesn't get combined with the current year's income in order to determine if the sponsor's income meets the applicable poverty guideline level in order to be eligible as a sponsor. Last year's income (based on what is on the current tax transcript will be reviewed on its own). The pay slips for 2021 will equally be reviewed on their own and if the trajectory of those indicates sponsor's annual income meets or is above the applicable PGL, then you should be fine.
Okay thanks. 1. Would the employment verification letter serves as a guide for the USCIS that the sponsor make specific income annually? 2. what additional documents do i need from my sponsor since the recent income didn't reflect the entire annual salary? The more payslip the better?

Hi, all :)As I'm putting together the docs I got a few ques:
1) For passports we only need the copy of the bio page + every page with an American visa and admission stamps to the US, right?
2) Do we need to include the copy of our apt lease as proof of living together and also for maintaining status as we can also include all past leases?
Thank you!
 
1 - Is this necessary to include a I-134 if I have savings in my bank account Bank of Am?
2- I have 3 recomendation letters from citizens , is this ok to attach?
3- Is this a good idea to attach prove that I am Superhost Airbnb in my country until the present in my App?
Thank you

1. Yes.
2. Lease agreement can’t be used as proof of maintaining status. It may however be used in demonstrating you’re a legitimate couple especially if you got married after the eDV registration period. Other than that, it is an irrelevant document.

1. May not be necessary if you have a significant amount of personal savings in your account that you can use in demonstrating you’re unlikely to become a public charge.
2. Irrelevant and unsolicited information that may end up causing more harm than good - this is not a job application.
3. Same as two above - irrelevant information
 
No, the IO handed the sheet to me at the end of my interview.
It's good that you still remember IO's name... I would've forgotten.
The same happened to me.

It looks like this year quite often bio appointments are scheduled later than interviews or second background checks are taking a long time.

At the moment, according to timelines and posts in this thread, we have:
-- 7 people, who finished their AOS process and got a GC.
-- 4 people, who got their names updated and a background check is in progress.
-- 2 with late bio or no bio scheduled yet, while they already had an interview.
-- 1 with bio, but with no interview scheduled
--1 with case review due to the marriage.

@dhanu159 praying that your congressional inquiry is going to speed things up for you. I found this list of all the ways to get in touch or get info from USCIS: https://immigrationroad.com/green-card/contact-uscis-fbi.php
They actually have a phone number for FBI fingerprint line and quite many other options listed there.

@gg96 @Chuchuaaa please keep us posted, if there are going to be any updates on your cases.

Thank you very much Mom !
