DV 2021 AOS Only

Thanks. this is the reply from the International office:
there is no way to print off an I-20 showing that your pre-completion OPT was approved. It is not possible to issue an I-20 that has retroactive details about former employment authorizations. The EAD card should be more than enough to prove that in my opinion.
And they also provided me with my employment history on SEVIS which shows that the pre-completion OPT was approved. I don't know if there is anything else that I can do at this point!

You can only take what you have. Take the correspondence from the college too.

I will be claiming eligibility from Libya. I do not have German Citizenship I was just born there.

“Just born there” is what matters for Dv! Did you not read the instructions? If you are not able to cross charge to Libya you will be found ineligible. See the instructions for information about cross charging,

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply!!
I meant apart from NOA from USCIS from regular mail, I got an email from KCC. Does that mean USCIS has informed KCC? Because I did not email them. :)

You made the DV administrative fee payment, you subsequently got the 2NL from KCC based on that. The correspondence from KCC has nothing to do with the AOS package submission.

Hello everyone I hope you all are doing well, I am a 2021 winner and I have a few questions about my application.

  1. I am pending asylum status with my father and I am also a college student so I was wondering if I can have my parents be my sponsors given our current situation?
  2. Do I need to include my part-time jobs in the application ( a paper stating I work there)?
  3. Because I already have a work permit would I need to include form I-765?
  4. I submitted my DS-260 back in September 2020 but I never received anything since, I’m going to be waiting about 2 more weeks to send my package if it doesn’t come in time should I just send it without it?
  5. I was born in Germany and on the USCIS website they said to include the birth certificate from the country in which you were born (I’m not claiming eligibility from Germany) and in that birth certificate, the first letter of my name differs from the birth certificate that I have translated into English from my native language. Do you think this will be a problem? I have used my native translated birth certificate for every single thing that I have ever done which includes passports and IDs and all other documents and never the German birth certificate.
  6. Would I need to submit a background check from all the cities I have lived in since I was 16 or is that for CP only?
I’m so sorry for all the questions and hope that you can be of help, thank you so much.

for question # 6 since you are already inside US, you do not need a background check from outside US
 
Hello, Mom! I wish you’re doing great!

I have a question about the address for money order. Which address I should indicate on it, the address of Chicago Lockbox or the address for U.S. Home department? I got little bit confused.

Thank you in advance!

Which fee are you referring to? The department of state fee or the filling and bio fee?
 
Hi all! I just wanted to share what I thought may be helpful for those of us who are waiting for biometrics/ interview mails :
USPS informed delivery service which shows packages in transition to your address. I never used it though but maybe some of us are more familiar with it :)

That means your CN starts with AF and not EU which is what it should have been. Are you married to a Libyan citizen? If you are, you may be eligible to cross charge in that case. If you are not, then you’ve made a major blunder by claiming Libya as your eligibility country. Eligibility is based on birth country, it doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen of that cou

When I was born in Germany my dad was studying there and this is what I found on the DV Instructions "Second, you can be “charged” to the country of birth of either of your parents as long as neither of your parents were born in or a resident of your country of birth at the time of your birth. People are not generally considered residents of a country in which they were not born or legally naturalized if they were only visiting, studying in the country temporarily, or stationed temporarily for business or professional reasons on behalf of a company or government of a country other than the one in which you were born."

That exception will not apply in your case, unfortunately. In order for you to cross charge to your parents' country of birth, you needed to have been born in a non-eligible country. Germany is eligible, so you cannot claim the chargeability to your parent's country of birth on the basis of your parent temporarily studying in Germany as at that time. Here's what the 9 FAM 502.6 (a) (2) (b) (u) says:

"A child born in a non-qualifying country in which neither parent was born nor was a resident at the time of the child’s birth, may claim the birthplace of either parent"
 
Hello
As I am a student who doesn't work here in states, Do I have to provide my bank statement? However, I will be submitting I-134 form but I am not sure since I have someone else being a financial sponsor for me , my bank statement would be required or not. Thank you.

If you're getting an I-134 (with the applicable supporting documents from your sponsor), you can decide to not include your personal bank statements, especially if yo do not have a significant amount of savings in it.
