Please use your discretion.
DV 2021 AOS Only
- Thread starter Sm1smom
- Start date
Out of curiosity - when you log into your ds260 portal , on the top right, what does it say next to "Your case is currently at :" ??Update on my FTJ: basically no progress
My consulate is unwilling to request my DV files from the USCIS FO. They insisted that I should file I-824 first. Only after they receive the adjudication of I-824, they will contact KCC. Below is the message from my consulate:
I also reached out to the house representative. They are trying to get in touch with the Chicago lockbox hoping they could accept my I-824 ASAP. Unfortunately, they did not hear back from the USCIS either.
Question: Is there still anything that I could do at this moment for accelerating FTJ? Thank you in advance!

Not required but you can if you like.
Thank you
Hi,
If I am the principal applicant, can I leave the section 5a-9 blank in form I-485? or should I write N/A for all the questions there.
Under this section it says, if you are a derivative applicant, provide the following information for the principal applicant. Then it has space to provide name, A number, DOB, receipt number and the priority date of principal applicant.
Thank you

I believe you could file I-824 concurrently with your I-485, as long as you are OK with losing $465 (I-824 filing fee) if your I-485 gets denied.
At KCC.
Hello Mom,
Our package (Me, My wife, and our two kids) was accepted by Lockbox on May 25. When I checked the status using the Receipt Numbers for two Receipt Numbers it says "Case Was Received" and for two others it says "Fingerprint Fee was recieved" is it normal?
Thank you,

Yes. It is normal. It means they got your documents and now they are working on. Hopefully, you will receive some updates about biometric and interview.
Thank you so much mom . I would not want to be in such a situation of fraud . God bless you really appreciated .

What if I -485 was already submitted and is in process now. Can I submit i-824 now while i-485 is still not approved?
I have few questions to ask:
1.I came to usa on 2015 august on f1 visa, and lived until 2017. Then I went to australia for 18 months on a student visa . Again, on august 2019 I applied new f1 visa from sydeny and came back to usa and is staying here since then . Do i need to provide my visa and i-20 of the university that i attended when i first arrived here in 2015?
2. I don’t have ssn and I have never worked while living here. I wanted to ask if i’m eligible to fill I-765 form?
Thank you. Appreciate your help.

1. You should provide those.
2. Anyone eligible to file a DV based AOS application is eligible to fill out an I-765.
Thank you.
There is a question on number 27 of form I765 about the eligibility category on which category I belongs to. Is it c(9)?
Hi all! I just realized that there is an error in our NOA where the first name and last name are switched. Unfortunately, it's based on the error in i-485 where last name and first name are swapped too. How could we fix it now? 
I can't believe such a stupid thing occurred from our side

Has anybody converted legal size doc to A4 for USCIS?

Converted? Are you talking about the copy that you put in the AOS package or are you talking about the documents you take to the interview? If the former, is there anywhere that mentions a "true size" copy? I think you are just overthinking. Anyways, yes I did include a copy of a document slightly longer than A4 and just scaled it. It's a copy after all.

When you go for your bio appointment, point out the name swap to the technician, ask for your name to also be listed in the correct order to ensure the background check is conducted with both variations.Hi all!

Note, the bio technician will not be able to change the name order from the way it is currently listed after you’ve pointed out the swapped names. However, when you go for your interview you’ll also need to point this out to the IO, the IO will then make the necessary corrections.
