DV 2021 AOS Only

Hello Mom,
Today USCIS updated my son's case as: Post Office returned a notice we sent you for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number xxxxx, because they could not deliver it. This could have a serious effect on your case. Please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice immediately.
I have already requested the NOA using the online tool. Should I call them and explain the situation or wait for their online response?
By the way, I checked our current address was accurately written on my son's I-485.
Thank you,

Yeah, you can do that.
 
Apologies if this has been asked before.

The next 2 things I'm waiting for in my application are:
- Bio letter
- Interview notice

Is there any relationship between the timelines of when I can expect these to happen?

For example:
- If I get the bio letter sooner indicate that I will receive the interview notice sooner?
- Does receiving the bio letter indicate that my paperwork has been verified and background check has succeeded?
- Do they wait until I have actually provided fingerprints before even reading my application, and therefore the interview notice must always come after bio letter?

Or, is the process for the bio letter and fingerprints essentially decoupled from the process for verifying the application and scheduling the interview?
 
Still didnt received the DV Fee receipt for a month (sent on 21 of May, cashed 5 days later). I know that there are others waiting for the receipt. what do you suggest guys, wait a bit more or send the package on monday?

Hi k in the same boat but I sent mine later. I was considering sending a copy of my bank check along with transaction receipt and note stating I would bring the admin receipt with me to the interview. But it’s your call.

Based on line 42 of the FAQ, in some cases interview letter can come before the bio letter as well.

I sent it June 10th and it was cashed but no receipt yet. I sent an email asking I’m if they can email me one because I forgot to include a SASE in my haste. So I’m getting the rest of my AOS together and if no receipt then I’ll probably do as I said.

Do you know how long it takes the KCC to respond to emails?

Hello Mom,

We got our interview letters. There are no receipt numbers in the letter, and it has only the A-number.
1. Is it normal to have only the A-number in the letter?

Thank you.

1. NBC schedules the bio, FO schedules the interview, so no.
2. No. Background check gets initiated after the bio appointment has been completed.
3. Not necessarily - see answer 1 above.

You should go through the “Lockbox_NBC_FO” tab of the AOS spreadsheet for the correlation between these three different aspects of the process.

You are still really early on, your fee was sent only 9 days ago, most likely it was cashed like within the past three days. You have about a month at least until you’re within the current time frame for the receipt, it also takes KCC at least 4 to 5 weeks currently to email you back.
 
Hello,

A week ago I’ve been approved and my green card has been delivered last Thursday 06/17 at my address.

I’d like to thank Sm1smom and all the moderators that are helping us through this process and I wish you guys more blessings for everything the team is doing.
I’d still be around, trying to go to the next step that is the citizenship

Thank you again for helping us go through that stressful process!

Hi Mom,
The USCIS website says - "The adjustment of status process for diversity visa winners must be completed by September 30 of the fiscal year the lottery pertains to. Visas cannot be carried over to the next fiscal year." Does this mean my interview and bio must be completed before September 30? Or the AOS package must be received before September 30, and interview and bio could be scheduled later? I am worried because my case number will be current in July, and I have not yet sent the AOS package.
