DV 2021 AOS Only

Hey mom,
Sorry for my dumb question, but how do I know if my case was not accepted? Would I still receive a confirmation text that my case was received? Thank you!
I am not mom but from experience. They do not send text or email when they reject your application. they send your package with a letter explaining why they rejected or what needs to be fixed.
 
Oh My GOD!!! Oh My GOD!!!

I just received a message from my bank informing me on an unusual activity on my credit card! My idiot bank rejected Lockbox payment!!!!
I can't believe!

Anyway, at least I learned that there is no problem with my AOS package. I can resend it with checks. Am I supposed to wait for the package return to me or I can resend it now?
my opinion is you should wait rejected package. actually I was in same situation and resent rejected package on last month.
 
Hello All,
I recently realized that at KCC I completed the DS260 for my US citizen child along with mine and my spouse but did not pay the DV fee for my son who is a USC.
1. Will that delay the sending of my file from KCC to FO?
2. With NOA on 03/29, we have not yet received the interview notice, should one try calling the FO? I ask because mine is an asylum pending which may require more time to adjudicate.

Thanks
 
Hi,
I received my NOA almost a month ago (my fingerprint fee was received on May 19th), although I know it’s still in the normal processing time, I was wondering when would be considered appropriate to write a congressional inquiry? (I don’t have anything scheduled as of right now)
I also realized that nothing really happened on the spreadsheet for the past week regarding bio/interview appointments, was this because of something I wasn’t aware of?
Thanks so much in advance!
There is no magic number in terms of how long to wait before initiating a congressional inquiry. You should think of a congressional inquiry as a silver bullet, not something you want to initiate as soon as you think you should.
 
@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 for your comment. That makes sense. Given the time remaining, waiting for a receipt may be the best outcome at this point.

The spread sheet says that it is recommended to contact KCC if more than 3 weeks have passed since it was cashed out. Could someone tell me the contact information (telephone number or e-mail address)? When I called a KCC number that I know, I only get an announcement that the phone communication has been stopped because they only accept emails now.

1. Probably yes. In such cases, KCC tend to reach out to request the “missing” payment or an explanation as to why the payment wasn’t made. This usually happens after the FO has requested the KCC file.
2. You can’t call the FO directly, however you can contact the USCIS customer support and request a case inquiry be submitted on your behalf, or request to speak with a tier 2 personnel, or attempt an online case inquiry submission yourself.

Take a look at your 1NL for the email address and further instructions on how to send an email to KCC.

This is why I prefer to pay by cashier check from my bank. Call them to ask to proceed with the payment or increase the limit.

Thank you for the answer Mom!
Is there a guide I could follow for congressional inquiries specific to our cases?
 
I don’t know what you mean by guide for congressional inquiries specific to your cases.
I don’t really know how to write an inquiry addressed to a congress person, I was trying to say if there’s a letter any of the DV selectees wrote in the past, so it could be an example for mine
