Hi,

I have two questions below.

1. I switched Visa status from L1B to E2 earlier this year. I only have a I-797 for the previous VISA L1B, but should it be included in the package?
2. Who will be listed in the personal check for AoS fee $1,225?

Thank you.

Yes, include them.

Yes it can arrive without any change online..In fact It never changed in my case - all it said was Fingerprint fee received. It changed only after the interview when the case was approved and card was in production.

Thank you! now i will have to be checking both.
 
Thank you very much!

I will wait till I move to Kentucky, wait 1 more week, and then try to connect with a Tier 2 agent again. Otherwise, I will send a congressional Inquiry.

If someone has a better plan feel free to mention it, but still thanks so much!

1. If the move is a temporary move, you're not required to update USCIS with the new address as long as you can still access the mailbox for correspondence. If it is a permanent move and you can still access the mailbox, you may wait on making the address change until after you've completed your process, however if your IO finds out you're no longer residing in Ohio when you show up there for your interview, he/she may decide to not continue with the interview and insist on transferring your AOS case file to Kentucky FO with jurisdiction over your new address.
2. Are you listed on the timeline spreadsheet? Have you taken a look at the timeline spreadsheet to get an idea of the average processing time for any other case under your FO?

Is this a separate thing from the AR-11 form? Because I'm pretty sure everyone has to file that within 10 days of moving.

Same thing. Yes, that is the expectation. Do people get arrested for not doing so or will USCIS come after someone for not doing so? Nope! And it is not “everyone” that is required to file a change of address by the way. Updating the address change within 10 days of moving is encouraged, it can also be done several weeks/months after the move with no penalty.
 
Hello mom,
I have a few questions regarding the I 485 form.
1.On the page, no. 3 part 1. Item 24 The question says " What is your current immigration status(if it has changed since your arrival)?
-I came here on F1 and applied for OPT a month ago should I leave it blank or put down f1/opt?

2. Similarly, as I have mentioned I applied for OPT a month ago and have received a Notice of action I-797C. So, i question is regarding part 2. page 4 item no. 3 " Receipt number of underlying petition(if any)" and 4. "Priority Date from Underlying Petition( if any)"
- Do I put down the recept number from the notice of action I just recieved?
- What should I put down on the priority date?

3.My last question is regarding the early filing memorandum. Do I need to print off all the pages of the memo and attach it with the package or just the first few pages?

1. Your status is still F1. You can put N/A, or you can still put F1.
2. N/A. You have no Underlying receipt # or priority date.
3. Use your discretion.
 
hey @Sm1smom,

I have realized that I don't have an access to my high school diploma. Is it waived if I just include Univeristy diploma? It's a Master's degree with US official evaluation papers.

We’ve had a couple of cases in the past (very few) where the IO insisted on seeing the HS Diploma. I recommend you arrange to get it (if you can) while waiting for your interview to be fully prepared, just in case.

Lol ... any particular reason as to why you felt it could have been rejected, considering you weren’t doing early filing? Or you’re just simply overcome with relieve at officially being in the race finally :cool:?

I didn’t think I’d be rejected.
I’m just relieved I’ve hit this milestone of the process and I am happy and relieved it has taken a bit less time than I had anticipated based on the trend we were seeing. And of course I am so happy and overjoyed to be a step closer to get the GC, specially in a year when everything feels so uncertain.
I am also proud I don’t depend on anyone else to get this done (as opposed to my previous engagement) and to finally be in charge of my own life, dreams and future.
 
Hello Mom,
Our package (four people) was accepted on May 25 and I received emails and text messages confirming that everyone's package was received. However, three of us received the NOA on June first. Is it ok? What should I do?
Thank you,

If i were to send my job offer letter with the package, do I also need to take the paystub during the interview?
Click to expand...
I did take them .however IO did not ask for it..... again it depends ...Paystubs are one of easiest piece of document you can get, so when in doubt just carry it, you would not loose anything by carrying it :)
