DV 2021 AOS Only

Hi Mom, I filled put my DS-260 but never submitted it since I realized it is not necessary for AOS applicants. is that ok?
 
I am about to file my AOS application. We got our waiver for 'J home residency requirement' from USCIS last week and just noticed a small mistake in middle name(one letter missing). However the Favorable recommendation from DOS is correct and I included a copy of that also in the application. Will this be an issue.
 
Hi Sm1smom,
I delivered DV fee on 5/14
5/20 DV Fee Cashed
not receive DV Fee Receipt yet.
Medical exam done
AOS package documents all done
My number is AS202100021xxx

Am I too late?
So worried about the timeline.
I am on the same boat- waiting for the receipt before submitting my package.

No issue.

Answer NO, your speeding ticket is an infraction.
 
Hi,
Previously when I was planning to do cp I have my family friend to help with affidavit of support and I mentioned his name in ds260. Now that I changed from cp to aos I still planned on submitting I-134. I found out that he had taken unemployment benefit for certain time back in 2020. My question is
1. Does that affect on my application?
2. what if i want to put some other person other than him for i-134. Do I need to update it on my ds260?
Thank you
1. Is the sponsor currently working or still on unemployment benefits? If sponsor is currently earning an income and the income meets the applicable poverty guideline level, you can continue with them.
2. You don’t need to update the DS260 if you decide to use a different sponsor.

The W2 was joint , his wife and himself. As I come to know his wife has claimed the unemployement compensation but his income meets the poverty guideline as shown in the documents.
 
I'm getting worried because we still haven't gotten the acceptance text or email for our package even though the payment has been cashed 3 days ago. I'm sure it's not that unusual but since most of the recent ones on the timeline spreadsheet are receiving it within 1 or 2 days of the payment cashing.

Did you double-check your G-1145? was all the information correct on that form?

I don't think their notifications system is all that reliable. I got no email, but two identical text messages. But it was another 5 days before I got the letter in the mail. Give it another couple of days, I bet you'll get the letter soon.

Mine went directly to the spam folder.

Hi Mom!

I received my GC in the mail yesterday however I see a small problem with it. It has my surname stated as XY while my other legal documents such as my passport, visa, DL, and all the forms including I-485 sent to USCIS have my surname stated as X Y (with space in between). Additionally, I have my surname stated as XY on my citizenship card which I didn't send to USICS and have it stated as X.Y. in my birth certificate which I did send to USCIS. All of these different surname usages (XY, X Y, X.Y.) were reported in form I-485 and biometrics' AIW page.

So, I am wondering what should I do about it now.
1. Would it be okay to leave it just like that? or do you see any obvious issue with it moving on?
2. If I proceed to correct my surname as it is shown on my passport, should I use USCIS typographical error or file form I-90?
3. The processing timeline says it takes somewhere between 7 to 14 months to get the form I-90 processed. This timeline applies to the DV category too right?
4. While this form is pending I would still be in a valid LPR status, correct?

Thank you!
