Your name is not in the timeline. What’s your bio date? What’s your case number and state if you don’t mind please?

I am little confused on the 60 day thing. Is it from when the package is submitted or when the package is accepted by lockbox?Sm1smom,
one quick question about I-693
"The Form I-693 must be dated no earlier than 60 days before you filed your underlying application." Dated means CR's signature date not physical date, right?
I contacted to the clinic to renew the form. They said they can renew the signature date for $25, but they can't change the physical date (obviously!). I told them signature date is the important date for me (based on spreadsheet knowledge) , but I wanted to doublecheck with you
Thank you for the information. A quick question. A copy of DV fee receipt should also be sent in AOS package right?
A copy of DV fee receipt should also be included in AOS package right?
According to instructions, yes. Some people have reported their package was accepted without the receipt but there is always the options that it might be considered incomplete, the FAQ tab on the spreadsheet mom put together covers that scenario.
Not necessarily it can be taken to the interview too ..

For Form I-485, do I need to choose yes on the question INA section 245(i)?
I also saw here that people successfully sent their packages without it, but here is what USCIS says on their website:
Application Process and Supporting Evidence
To obtain a Green Card, you must file Form I-485.Supporting Evidence for Form I-485
Submit the following evidence with your Form I-485:- Two passport-style photos
- Copy of birth certificate
- Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record
- Copy of passport page with nonimmigrant visa (if applicable)
- Copy of passport page with admission (entry) or parole stamp (if applicable)
- Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record
- Certified copies of court records (if the individual has been arrested)
- Copy of the principal applicant’s selection letter for the diversity visa lottery from DOS
- Copy of the receipt from DOS for the diversity visa lottery processing fee
- Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility (if applicable)
- Applicable fees

Hi,
I have a question to the person who submitted the package to Chicago Lockbox without the $330 DV fee payment receipt and accepted by KCC.
It's been 3 weeks since the DV fee was cashed out, but I haven't received the receipt yet. Therefore, I am thinking of sending the package without a receipt now.
I would like to reduce the possibility of rejection as much as possible, but instead of sending the receipt, did you include a copy of the website that certifies the cash out of the USPS or a copy of the duplicate in the package? Or/And, did you explain the situation on the cover page that you haven't receive the receipt?
Thank you,

I don't know if you are talking about me, but I did send my package without the receipt. However, it was because my lawyer never told me to pay the fee and not because I didn't want to wait for the receipt.
Anyways, I did not include anything else in my package. I simply brought the receipt to the interview. They did not ask for it.
If it were me today, I would include a copy of the cashier's check or money order if you don't want to wait. It's up to you, but keep in mind that I sent my package in December 2020, so if it had been rejected, I would have had plenty of time to send a new one. But now we are less than 4 months from the end of the FY.

Hi all, maybe someone had the same case and can share experience.
We sent all our documents to Chicago lockbox with 2 checks (for me and my husband). On Jun 14th they cashed only one check (main applicant’s), and still didn’t cashed my husband’s one, and didn’t send NOA. Is it okay to cash only one check?

The 2nd package is possibly being rejected and will be subsequently sent back in that case. Another forum member had a similar experience recently. One payment was not cashed and was subsequently sent back as rejected. They waited to receive the rejected package to know why it was rejected before re-filing.
While you’re waiting, I suggest you review copies of the derivative’s package which you sent (I’m assuming you have a copy), go through the forms in particular to see if there’s a missing signature or form wasn’t properly filled out.

I did send the package prior to receiving and did not include the receipt or any explanation. Just understand that it has a small risk to it and make up your mind. You probably will receive your receipt in couple days. But if I were you, I would have had sent my package three weeks ago.
correct- however i did not send it, but I took it to my interview. I was not asked about it either. In my case, i filled in October last year and interview was on march so i had plenty of time to take a risk of not sending it. In your case since theres few months left use your discretion on deciding on it. I know last year towards the end, certain cases were approved without having an interview given that their case had all documents in shape...so theres that too.

@cameraboy Now that you have already waited for 3 weeks, I tend to agree with @dhanu159 above (Depending if your medical will expire or not).

Thank you! In case it's rejected, do you know if they send us the whole package (for both applicants), and if we need to redo medical exam?
