DV 2021 AOS Only

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
Just go to your congressman/woman or senator webpage; There should be instructions on how to contact them. It's just a simple explanation of your situation (and hopefully a staff from their office would follow up with you)

This.

The only thing specific to your case is, well, your specific case. Even if everyone here is DV there are different stages at/reasons why people contact their congressperson.
 
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?
Hi All, just wanted to share the update. Today they cashed our second check and we are expecting to get NOAs as well :)
 
Hi Mom,
I forgot to add two jobs in my 485 forms. I had them in my home country in 2019. do you think it will cause a problem? is it possible to add them after submission?
Thank you very much.
 
Hello,
I have a question regarding DV fee receipt. I sent my payment 23 days ago and based on the spreadsheet I figure it's still within the normal waiting period. However, my money order is still not cashed yet since I sent it. I see many people's checks being cashed but were just waiting a bit longer for the receipt. In this case, do I need to worry about my money order getting lost, and is there anything I can do at this point? Thank you all in advance!
 
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.
I have enough limit. The bank rejected the payment since it is an unusual activity. I've confirmed it already but Lockbox won't try again.

Actually there are 2 applications in the package, maybe they can try the card for my daughter and this time it should work. Seeing it worked, they will charge my payment too. I know, I know, just dreaming!!

Usually it takes long to receive the receipt but the check/money order is cashed a few days after receiving it. Are you sure it was delivered? If you are, I’d contact KCC, since it’ll take them a few weeks to respond anyways

Thank you for the response. I'm actually not sure...I didn't use tracking when I mailed but I took photos of everything before I mailed them out at the post office (so address, amount, DV info, and SASE are all correct). The envelope includes my return address too so I'm just confused. But I'll contact KCC, thank you. I will do some research on USPS money order first but I'm also just wondering if there's any way I can cancel that payment and redo it?
 
Hi mom, my package got delivered on June 10th according to USPS carrier. I did attach the notification G1145 inside the package along with my I-485. Should i be worried that i have not received any notification yet? Thank you.

There is no letter as such ...go to you congress man/ woman's website, usually they have a section in their website named "Help with federal agency " something along that line. Once you are in there , they usually outline what needs to be done. In my case there was a PDF that i needed to download ..fill it up and sign it. It asks for you name , DOB , Receipt no, What type of form you filed ..in this case i485 and finally it asks you to explain in detail your concern and how the congress person can help you . Thats it ..once done email back to to them ..some of them however require you to drop it at their office or mail them. A case worker will follow up with you via email of phone

If your package/letter is not delivered, I believe you can begin an inquiry on that money order and USPS will issue a new one or something similar. It happened to someone here a couple of months ago, give or take; so I believe their post telling their experience has to be somewhere a few pages back

You will receive a notification when your package is accepted. Take a look at timeline tab on the spreadsheet to see how long it takes from the delivery date to get a notification.

It’s only been 8 days since your package was delivered. So be patient!

No, Chicago Lockbox is taking at least 4 weeks to process the packages

well, USPS said it got delivered.However i did not include signature requirement to authenticate the delivery of the package. All i got is a text that said it was delivered on that day and time. Is there any way to know?

I will do my research on that! Thank you very much!!
 
Dear friends. I have one question
Did anyone happened to have DOS asking about why your family members are not adjusting status with me in US?
My wife and daughter will be going through the consulate process in us embassy. What kind of statement should I write to explain them?

Are you talking about your KCC receipt or your USCIS package?
Because they’re too different things with very different timelines

If you didn’t have a tracking number, I am not aware of other ways to track the delivery as that’s the only one I am familiar with
