DV 2021 AOS Only

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?
Only the rejected applicant's package get's returned. The accepted one continues processing. If you'll need to redo the medical or not depends on when you receive the package and when you resend it - if the new package gets back to the lockbox within the validity period of the medical exam, a new one will not be required.
 
Hi Mom,

Do you think waiting for like 6 weeks (since Notice) and then following up with a Tier 2 agent would be a reasonable plan? (just in case the bio/interview letter(s) wouldn't arrive by that time).

Thanks,

Today my family and I finally have good news, the statuses of all our AOS cases have been updated to New Card Is Being Produced. I do not receive approval notice yet, but I hope the status change means that our cases are approved. I want to thank @Sm1smom, @SusieQQQ and this amazing community for help and support. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!
Great news. Congratulations

Got it! Thank you so much! :)
 
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.
I sent mine a week ago. In haste I forgot to send a SASE and then emailed them asking for a receipt to be emailed. I can't afford to wait for this receipt if it will take weeks so I'm going to include a copy of the bank check and transaction receipt and possibly a note stating that I will bring the actual receipt with me to the interview. Can't afford to wait at this stage. It's a risk yes..

Hello,
I have a question about the public assistance item in I 485. It has been responded to several times but I could not locate one that addresses my particular case. I do appreciate any assistance in locating a relevant response or comment about my situation.

I am the only one in our family who is applying for AOS, thus filing I 485.
As for the public assistance question,
(1) my wife used Medicaid during pregnancy and our son (US citizen) is still on Medicaid,
(2) we are using WIC (Women Infant Children program). I know that WIC is not considered a public charge, but my understanding is that it is public assistance, if I take this on its literal meaning.

That said, should I say "Yes" to the public assistance item?

Thank you so much for your comments in advance.

You did not utilize public assistance, so select NO.
