You shouldn’t be worried. It took me 38 days to receive a response when I sent my package, so you’re still early.
You should be worried after 60 days without answers.

Hi Sm1smom,
I have just relocated to the states on an L1 visa and I have to change from CP to AOS, I have unlocked my DS-260 but I can not change my processing from CP to AOS on the DS-260. I have emailed KCC over a month ago asking them to change to AOS, is there anything else I have to do?
Can I start the process without confrontation that I have been changed from CP to AOS? Have I missed any steps?
Thanks
Dylan

Sorry to barge in but in case it’s any help: I sent the $330 fee at the same time I sent the email to KCC because it takes them about a month to send back the receipt and time is of the essence now.

I’m sorry you’re not eligible to file AOS. Entering the US on a NIV with a preconceived intent of filing AOS is considered a fraudulent use of the NIV.

You can’t update the processing option directly on the form yourself. Just change the current address field and re-submit the form. You can send a follow up email to KCC letting them know you’re switching from CP to AOS if you like, I’m sure they will eventually respond to your first email.
Meanwhile, you can go ahead and start the AOS process, you don’t need to wait for KCC confirmation in order to proceed at this point.

You’re not too late.
@Sm1smom
My number is OC 25XX for 2021.
I submitted my DS260 in Feb. Emailed KCC and received my 2NL and their knowledge of my AOS.
Currently residing in the U.S. on an E3. ****Expires in the next two weeks**** I've extended my LCA until my i94 expiry in Jan 2022.
Was planning to renew my E3 in Dec 2021 (same employer).
I was advised earlier this year by an immigration attorney not to send through my AOS documents until my number becomes current (low hopes it would) due to immigrant intent when applying for renewal.
Now all numbers are current. I understand it's a big mess at the moment with the cases and everything being a shit show..
Unfortunately I am now started to learn that I was ill advised by my immigration attorney to hold off sending until my number becomes current.
My question to you:
1) Should I go ahead and send AOS package or just not bother (esp considering my E3 is about to expire)? Not sure how likely or unlikely an interview is looking for me at this stage and chances of getting a rejection on my renewal.
Afraid that it's too late AND if so and I send through AOS package that when it comes time to renew my E3 in December I will be rejected due to immigrant intent.
thanks !

I cannot categorically tell you if you should proceed with filing a DV based AOS application now that your CN is current or not, that is a decision you’ll need to make on your own. All I can tell you is while each application is different, and no one is ever guaranteed of being approved prior to filing (regardless of how early in the FY they filed), we’ve had cases that became current in September (last month of the FY) successfully complete the AOS process on or before the last day of the FY. So it really is your call.
By the way, your concern about a demonstrated immigrant intent makes no difference to your situation at this point considering you already submitted your DS260 form (strong demonstration of an immigration intent) earlier this year.
thank you mom.
when you say this, do you mean they SENT through their AOS package on or before the last day of FY?

They got approved.

As long as the AOS package is received before your current status expires, being out of status while the AOS application is pending is not an issue.
Ok thanks. And is status dependent on the visa expiry or i94 expiry ?
I just checked and I had the date wrong. My E3 expires June 7 2021.

I thought people might find this useful or interesting - I created a scatterplot of the number of days people have waited for their bio letter after receiving the NoA, vs filing date (this only includes those who have actually received their bio letter)
A few people have expressed concern about this recently, and to be fair it's hard to really get a clear picture of things from the raw spreadsheet data.
Please take this with a grain of salt; we don't have that much data and there are probably still going to be some more outliers. But I think there's a clear trend where the really long wait times are all in the first quarter. The red line is just an automatic "best fit" that attempts to capture the trend. Obviously there's no guarantee that it'll continue to improve at the same pace.

I-94 determines validity of authorized stay. The stamped visa (issued by the embassy) is basically the document presented at the POE while seeking admission into the US, it’s expiration means the holder will need to be issued with a new visa stamp in order to be re-admitted into the US if they depart from the US on or after that visa stamp has expired.

Dear Mom,
I have recently ordered my Birth Certificate from my country of birth. I have noticed that:
3. On my daughter’s BC (she is not an applicant, I only included her BC in our applications) and my university degree my surename is hyphenated (e.g. vonNeumann -> von-Neumann)
I have submitted my DS-260 and also received my NOA letter. I have few questions:

I have submitted my DS-260 and also received my NOA letter. I have few questions:
- For my surename, would it be enough to ask the bio technician during the bio appointment to include the two additional variations in my background check and also inform the IO during the interview?
- Do I have to mention my fathers firstname during my bio appointment or interview or do anything about it?
- As I understand, DS-260 is not processed for AOSers. Do I have to update my DS-260 with the name variations?

1. Yeah, you could do that when you go for the bio.
2. Not necessary.
3. Not necessary.
