DV 2021 AOS Only

Hi all,

I am a 2020-2021 DV lottery winner, and the principal applicant who currently live in the USA and working under F1- OPT. My DV CN will become current in June 2021.

My current annual salary is around $50K. My OPT end date is in 1st week of August 2021.

My spouse is also on his OPT and is working in the USA. His salary is around $40K/year. My husband’s OPT end date is next year (2022), May.

We have around $20K in savings + one vehicle ($6K). In addition, we have filed our tax annually.

If we have the interview after the first week of August, I the principal applicant will not be working by that time as my OPT work authorization end in August 2021. Do you think we should submit the form I-134 with the AOS packet?

Thank you.

hi mom!

I plan to attempt an early walk-in for my biometrics and I am looking for your insights here.

1. Is there any specific days and time that have better chance to get in than the others? OR at the very least, should I avoid some particular days and time at all?
2. Can I go to a different ASC for my bio w/o letting uscis know about it?

thank you so much as always!

1. An attempted walk-in can be any day during the working hours.
2. Yes you can try that.

Do you have to have your biometrics appointment letter to do a walk-in, or is the NoA letter enough?

If you’re able to demonstrate you have the financial capability to support yourself and you’re unlikely to become a public charge, you may not be required to present an affidavit of support.

Will do, thank you! I have another question regarding DS-260. I'm having troubles providing information for some fields of DS-260 and might leave it and don't submit it as is not obligatory. Am I going to face any problems along the way since this form is incomplete and I cannot clear the pages that are already filled? I mean at some point USCIS is asking for the file from KCC. Is this going to be a problem since my file is not complete?

I don’t know.
 
Hi Mom.
I have been in the US for more than 5 years. Do I need to fill out the employment history for part 3: "provide your most recent employment outside of US"?
 
For the $1,225 fee should I submit a personal check or cashier's check?
In the spreadsheet, I see Personal Check..but if I understand correctly some people also submit cashier's check.

You might find that a personal check is easier to track. I think someone recently (@onero ?) had trouble finding out the status of their cashier's check. It doesn't matter that much since you'll get a letter in the mail, but most people want to know that their package is accepted as soon as possible.

Thanks. I have never had a job outside of the US. after finishing school in my home country I moved to the US in 2013 and never left the country since then. So I am not sure how to fill it out for the most recent employment outside of the US.

You put N/A in that case.
 
Hi @Sm1smom, I have received an interview notice in the mail but have not received a bio appointment letter, will this be a big issue? I have tried to call USCIS several times but the call tree keeps hanging up on me, and I have not been able to talk to an actual human. Any thoughts?

If you will go through the timeline of the spreadsheets, you will find that happen to some of the applicants this year, it may be sent to you an appointment for bio-metrics soon ( before the interview) or you need to keep trying to call USCIS till you will be able tl talk to tier 2, but in general it happens that the bio metrics can be done after the interview
 
Hello
My CN: AS8900

My CN is current from July onwards. Can i send my AOS Docs during 1st week of June?

Is this called early filing?

Any risk of early filing? If yes when is the best time to send AOS for my July current eligibility?
 
Good afternoon,

I had two questions:

1) If I move could this cause delays in the processing of my AOS? I will be moving from Ohio to Kentucky and I am worried this will cause delays in my application. Maybe, should I update my address a few days before I move in to my new address?

2) My wife will be doing a FTJ. Should I also bring to the interview all the necessary documents to proof we are a legit marriage? We had already planned to marry before we got the DV visa lottery results, and we got plenty of documentations to show it. Or will she be the one asked to bring all the documentations to the embassy for her FTJ process? I am just asking this to know what I should have prepared.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, it will be early filing. There is a very slight risk of rejection because of early filing, for more information please go over the spreadsheet.

To get to a human -on the first prompt say technical support ...on the second prompt also say Technical support - you will be connected to an agent ... then ask for tier 2 agent.
