DV 2021 AOS Only

Hey there
Ye I had the same situation with AMEX! ( your case makes it even stranger! How come they’d accept 2 transactions and reject third one!)
Anyways, as soon as I figured out AMEX has declined my 1225$ payment, I did not wait for the rejection and sent a new package within 2-3 days. NOA (rejection) was received in my mailbox the week after!
Good luck with your new submission
ok, thank you!
 
thank you for everytime Mom.
is this situation negative impact on my AOS process?
Yes it will, one way or the other.
1. If the failed payment belongs to the principal applicant (main selectee), the remaining two applications will continue processing but they cannot be approved without the new package submission for the principal applicant.
2. If the failed payment belongs to a derivative applicant, that particular application will not obviously not be processed for a GC without the package being re-submitted with new form of payment.

1. You’re panicking and not paying attention. I already answered this question in my first response - read it again.
2. You cannot decline a legitimate payment that has already gone through, unless you plan on telling Amex the charges were fraudulent and authorized by you.
3. Wait for the package to get sent back, then resubmit.

one of my friend told me that my birth certificate from my home country needs to be in the latest format being used, how true is it?

how do we know what the old and new ones from your country are? What it needs to be, is a long form birth certificate. If the older ones from your country were not long form and that is what you have then it is “true”. This is the requirement:

Each applicant must submit a birth certificate issued by the official custodian of birth records in the country of birth, showing the date and place of birth and the parentage of the applicant, based upon the original registration of birth. Important Notice: You must submit a long form original birth certificate. Short form birth certificates will not be accepted.
The certificate must contain the:

  • Person's date of birth;
  • Person's place of birth;
  • Names of both parents; and,
  • Annotation by the appropriate authority indicating that it is an extract from the official records.

How are we supposed to know if what your friend told us true or not without knowing what the current b/c you have looks like or the country you’re from?

Anyway, you need to go through the Reciprocity Page, identify your country, compare what you have with what the site says about b/c from your country. Make sure what you have is issued by you he listed issuing authority on the Reciprocity page.

My birth certificate is a long form but for place of birth it says hospital. Do you think it will matter? (I don't think I can change the birth certificate)
 
For my country Nepal, it says that the alternate document is citizenship card, so does this mean I can submit citizenship card instead of the birth certificate?
If you want to take a chance, yes you may submit the citizenship card with the AOS package in the interim. I personally however wouldn’t stop at that if this was my case. I will still proceed with getting the B/C itself and plan on taking it along to the interview.
 
If you were a full time student with no employment history during that period, then you simply indicate N/A for the employment history section.
Do I need to include the dates for the period or just put N/A at the first item?
Sorry I might be tiring you with this. I just want to be sure.
Thanks a lot for your invaluable help.

Do you have a work history? Yes - list the different work/jobs and applicable dates for each one.
Do you have a work history? No - simply put N/A and move on to the next question. It’s as simple as that!

N/A means “Not Applicable” If you’re already stating a question is not applicable to you, does it make sense to go ahead and add some date in front of it? Ask yourself that question!
 
hello, did you received package from lock box?
I'm same situation for AMEX poor guys...
Hi! Sorry to hear about your AMEX issue, they seem to be having multiple issues with credit cards this year. Hopefully it gets resolved soon!
If you don’t mind me asking, when did you submit the package and when did they cashed the money?
