DV 2021 AOS Only

Good evening to everybody!

Today we sent the AoS package to the Chicago Lockbox. With this post I wanted to thank Mom and all the guys who are helping in this journey. It is priceless help. God bless you and your family. I do believe that everyone’s cases will be approved. God will help us!

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 :)

Thank you for sharing!

Emma can say that info but it may not always be accurate.

Today, I was able to chat with a person from USCIS via Emma. I asked whether or not my case is transferred to FO. The person said that it is still not scheduled for biometric and is still in NBC. That's all I got from the chat.

Those who answer calls or chat on Emma probably see what we see on our USCIS online accounts. Nothing more
 
Hi Mom,

During the registration for Lottery, I think I put the wrong date of my passport expiration date (I put the month and year correct is the day that I'm not sure of). Also, my passport is still valid. I read somewhere that KCC rejects documents which are not in consistent with the information that were put in the DV-form. Should I mention this during my interview and let them know of this typo? Do you know if anyone has encountered the same issue from previous years? I'd appreciate if you could help me on this, I'm super stressed right now.

This is a minor error, KCC is not processing your case/documents. Don’t sweat it.
 
Hello Mom,
My status is very complicated.
I am an asylee since August 2020. My family is at my home country. (two kids).
I also won the DV lot. I paid 330 only for me. I have now 2NL and paid notice of 330.
I am so confused about my family. What must I do now?
I did not paid 330 for them. Besides We have a family unification process since September 2020.
Thank in advance.

You cannot do anything about your family for now. You'll need to successfully complete the DV selection via AOS first following which the rest of your family may apply as FTJ (follow-to-join) as your derivative. The FTJ process must be completed completed by Sept. 30th COB (end of the FY).
 
Hello @Sm1smom, first of all thank you for all your help on this forum and the very useful spreadsheet. I came to the AOS process late, and now on the race against time to submit my package to Lockbox. I am awaiting medical results and Dv admin fee receipt before submitting my package. I have a question regarding the I-94. My most recent I-94 is wrong (shows my entry before the latest) and I have emailed Deferred Inspection at Dulles Airport where I entered from and have not yet heard back. However I have a stamp on my passport that shows the correct entry date, which I have printed to include in the package. Should I wait to also have the 1-94 corrected or can I submit to Lockbox as soon as I have receive I-693 medical and Dv admin fee receipt? Thanks in advance.

You can submit with you currently have while you continue to sort out the I-94 issue.

Hi @maryasenath, my spouse has the same I-94 issue. His most recent date of entry does not align with his travel history. Before we submitted our AOS package, he contacted Deferred Inspection here in Seattle for a correction. They responded back and asked him to come to the Inspection Site with his passport, I-94 and all others supporting documents. Unfortunately when he arrived there, none of the staff know how to fix it so they said if an issue comes up at USCIS, he was told to just tell USCIS to contact them.
In the end, he submitted his I-94 as is and hope there will be no issue.

Something similar happened to me. My travel history did not show that I came back to the US after a trip abroad last year (but I have the stamp in my passport). The difference is that in my case this was not my most recent entry. In the end, my travel history was never discussed. I don't know what happened when the officer was processing my case before the interview, but at the interview I was only asked about the last time I came back as a confirmation that the date was correct. So maybe in your case, this discrepancy matters a bit more since it's your most recent I-94. I hope you'll be able to fix it.
 
I'm planning to send my AOS package in a couple weeks, however, I'm not using any sponsorship. So, can I just send my job offer letter with the package? Do you think that will be enough?

Thankyou.
 
Hello @Sm1smom, thanks for the help with my previous questions. I have one more before sending the AOS package. On i495 instructions pdf, they say to provide an evidence of including derivates (spouse in my case) in the green card lottery, specifically this point:
Evidence that any derivative applicants were originally included in the DV lottery entry
I went through all my submission forms and confirmations and receipts and I don't see my wife anywhere. I do remember though that I've included her when I was submitting my entry for participation in dv lottery.

Any idea what kind of evidence are they seeking for? What kind of documents?
