DV 2021 AOS Only

SimonTemplar86 said:
My AOS package was delivered by Fedex in a small box to the Chicago lockbox and signed for by J Harper on 2nd June 2021. I've still not received any news on acceptance or payment for $1225 being cashed. From the sheet it looks like others who's packages reached after me already received acceptances. I'm starting to get worried - are there any suggestions on anything else I can do to see what's going on?

Give it 3-4 weeks before getting worried. For the starter, you can go over copies of your forms and documents to see if you missed anything, e.g. signed the forms, used right version of forms, signed the check/money order you sent, etc. What type of payment did you use? Did you do early filling?

The spreadsheet made the clarification that an I508 is not required from Australian E3 non immigrant as they have no special rights, immunity, or exemption that requires to be waived.

Hi there!

if my interview isn’t conducted before September 30th will I lose the whole thing?

my fingerprint fee was accepted in February and still haven’t heard anything from USCIS since then… I’m a very worried.

The only thing I did get was the purple letter request for the medical record back in late April. But nothing after….

that are my options? Can I expedite this process without the fingerprints being taken?

Yes, if you do not get interviewed or approved on or before COB Sept.30th, that will be the end of your DV selection.

Couple of questions for you:
1. Which FO are you under?
2. You got a RFE for the medical report - is this because you did not include it with your AOS package when you applied? Have you sent it in since then?
3. Did you make the DV administrative fee payment and did you include it with your AOS package?
4. Have previously you contacted USCIS either online or by phone to follow up on your case?

I went through all the forms again - I signed everything, used the right version, sent money orders + credit card form (as backup if needed). I did not do early filing.

Dear filar7,
What is your package delivery date to chicago lockbox?
Click to expand...
If I wasn't clear by saying "I'm so excited because my package arrived in Chicago Lockbox on 6/7! " I can rephrase to:
My package delivery date to Chicago Lockbox was 7th of June.

Also @SusieQQQ - yes! my card was mastercard if anyone wonders. Also I used a credit card from a credit union, not a bank really. But let's wait until my payment is posted so we can 200% sure it went through haha.

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,

Hi, I have a same problem. I am looking forward to submitting by July 1st or 2nd [that's when my confirmation number is current] and I am waiting for the receipt.
05/21/2021 DV Fee sent
05/26/2021 DV Fee cashed
06/21/2021 Still waiting
They cashed the check immediately, but not sure to why they are taking so long to just send a receipt. It's frustrating.

They do cash it immediately but it takes them about 4 weeks, give or take, to send the receipt (plus whatever time it takes USPS to deliver it, since they’re being kinda slow lately). You can see the current trend on the timeline part of the spreadsheet.

You sent in money order and form G1450 for credit card payment "as back-up" option? You technically overpaid. You package will most likely get rejected and sent back in that case. USCIS does not do back-up option or different payment option combination.

@Sm1smom - should i resend the application now to be on the safe side?
 
@Sm1smom - to clarify, i had included 2 x money order for a total of $1225. i also included the g-1450 credit card authorization - in hindsight, kind of silly on my part. i am thinking i should re-send the application if no updates by this wednesday - any suggestions?

Yeah, kind of silly I agree. I would say give it one more week at least, before sending in a new package..

Mine was signed by J harper too and sent the same day as you. I got my text on 17th and check was cashed at same day. I would wait this week and see if there any change or try to go through your application and see a possible mistake in your package
 
When does NBC actually send applications to field office. I talked to tier 1 agent today and they say my case is still at the service center and within the normal processing time. I did request tier 2 but i thought at this point my case would have been forwarded to FO.
AOS delivery 03/25
fingerprint fee received 04/30
NOA 05/06
Cleveland FO
 
Hi,
I am in F1 visa, and looking at my I-94, I don't see the information required in Part 1, Items 23.b (expiration date of authorized stay shown on form i-94) and 23.c (status of form i-94). Should I put N/A?

F1 is usually D/S. The answer to an authorized stay question for someone on a non immigrant visa can never be N/A.
