DV 2021 AOS Only

Hi Mom, thanks for the reply!

So the Most Recent i94 has the older date, however the Travel History page shows also the most recent date so I will just attach travel history to the i94. thanks.

Dear friends!
It has been a 30 days since I received my receipt notice of action in mail. According to the spreadsheet it should take about 14-20 days for Bio letter to come in mail after first NOA mail.
Do you think it is about time to call them to see if they can assign a Bio appointment?

i waited 4 months for the bio appt letter so 14-20 is not for everyone , unless you are referring to a specific ASC....since you are towards the end of the fiscal year calling them wouldnt hurt ..you might get lucky :)
 
I submitted my packet to the lockbox on June 2. I currently work in the US on a H1B visa. I am planning a trip outside the US for 2 weeks between end June-mid July - since this trip will mean a new I94 when I re-enter the US, will it cause an issue with my AOS application for the upcoming interviews or any other problems with my AOS application?

The average from the spreadsheet so far is 38 days, and the median (more useful imo) is 24.5. In other words, half of the applicants who put a bio received date in the spreadsheet got it in less than 25 days, and half got it after that.

That includes some pretty wild numbers though - there's one who put zero days and a couple over 100.

No. H1B is a dual intent visa. That means you don’t abandon the AOS when you travel out and it also means you are not required to show non immigrant intent.

I think that is a bit early to call and inquire. I think the timing really depends on many factors and the case itself. I understand that some have waited 4-5 months.

For me, today marks exactly 3 months since I got the NoA. Have not got neither bio or the interview appointments yet - still waiting. Case number became current in February. Shall I wait more at this point since there is still technically time left till end of September? Or start escalating the issue? Not sure what to do.

Are you looking at the historic reports of your specific ASC location on the spreadsheet?

At all of them , during this fiscal year, I noticed there's some longer than 20 days, but also noticed that a lot are two-three weeks. Anyway it is only 4 month left to September 30, so I guess waiting very long till the last moment is not very good idea

This is not true, people have waited even 2-3 months before getting their bio letters. Unless you are referring to a specific ASC.

Also, could you add your info in the spreadsheet? It would be helpful for others. Thanks

Could I simply type it, or I need permission?

I contacted my senator after 4 months. My case number became current in December. I waited until April.

I think you can at least ask to speak with a tier 2 agent if it's been 3 months.

14-20 days...I wish! I had to ask my senator's office to step in after waiting for four months. You can wait a couple more weeks. What's your ASC?

Does the status of your case get changed right away in online case status check pàge, when they mail your bio letter?

You can request to speak with a tier 2 agent or even start a congressional inquiry at this point.

What are your ASC and FO? I don’t see you in the spreadsheet. Could you update it?
 
Just out of curiosity!
Has anyone tried requesting tier 2 before their 60 days? I mean is this a very strict rule? Or tier one might be willing to do this?
(anyone with such experience?)

If I were you, I would start. Do not wait till the last minute. we have only 3 months left.

I'm pretty sure I did the first time I requested the phone call. It was in February about 6 weeks after the first NOA.
