DV 2021 AOS Only

Mom please 2 questions,
My son has 2 passps, one from SA where he born and a 2nd from Canada which he entered to USA with me in January.
When I send support docmts to KCC I only send the SA passp being elected country Anyway I mentioned he had 2 passps in the DS 260.
1) Should I attach copy of both passps? or only Canadian pasp which he entered to USA?
2) About my Status and decission of stay . Should I add a paragraph in the Model letter or should I write a second letter?
Thank you !

1. The Canadian passport.
2. One thing you need to understand about US immigration is the fact providing unsolicited information tends to do more harm than good. You want to send recommendation letters, you want to include information about being a AirBnB super host, you want to write about why you decided to stay - these are all unsolicited information! You really should stick with the list you’ve already been provided with on the spreadsheet.

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 - i hope you will get a positive answer soon too. I actually read about name checks and fingerprints somewhere, it said usually they get done within 48- 72 hours unless you name is flagged and they need extra time to dig into it. Also as per what i read.. FBI does not release any information about name checks/background checks unless the requesting agency contacts them... in our case USCIS.

Unfortunately, you can not legitimately do that. Entering the US on a NIV with a preconceived intent of filing AOS is considered a fraudulent attempt at obtaining an immigration benefit.
 
Hi everyone!

I was looking at the timeline, and I see a lot of variation on the date of interview. After cashing the checks, I see people have the interview after just a few weeks, some after a month and others in two months. Is it based on how busy the field office is? What does it depend on?

Thanks!

It depends on a lot of different things. There is really no way to predict when you will be interviewed. Even cases that are handled by the same FO do not show similar timelines.
 
@Sm1smom I read different information related to name checks. In some places its listed as 48-72 hours and in some places it says years to 2 weeks etc. Thought id check with you to see what should be the right timeline. Because i remember one of the tier2 agents i called said my initial background check cleared the next day after my bio?...

It’s individual. If your name is osama bin laden i guarantee it will not clear in 48 hours.

lol luckily my name has no parts of that ..so my question is then -generally it clears within 48 hrs?

Most are supposedly cleared in 48-72 hours but some can take much longer. I have no idea who you may share a name with so cannot give any idea of whether “generally” applies to you or not. You only need one really bad person with the same name to cause more checks.

Yes, for most people the background check typically gets completed within 48 to 72 hours of being initiated. (There’s a tab on the AOS spreadsheet with some additional inform about the background check process by the way).

The background check involves more than just a name check. It includes places one might have visited or lived at some point, associations/organizations one belongs to, country of origin/citizenship, etc. There’s also the field of study. If an applicant’s field of study falls under the Technology Alert List (TAL), that applicant may be subject to a prolonged background check clearance.

Links below for more reading on TAL (yes, the links reference VISA issuance, they’re however still applicable to AOS process):

There is no connection between how many visas have been issued by embassies abroad and how fast your check is cashed here in the US. CP and AOS are two different processes that are influenced by different factors.
