DV 2021 AOS Only

Congratulations. Can you confirm, you first package did get rejected due to your use of expired form, (in addition to the package going "missing" per USPS tracker for a period of time) right?

Yes, i appreciate how you remember each and everyone post. I sent the second package as I noticed it has been rejected. I didn’t wait to get it.

Thanks you all, really appreciate the comments on this platform. I read every comment and set it into my situation. I made an expedite request 2 times. Got interviewed today and was approved on the spot. The IO was from my country lol

Congrats!

I was working with an attorney and she also included an expedite request with the other documents in the package. The agent told us during the interview that he was aware of the expediated request, so I guess they work in some cases.
 
if there are multiple DV AOS i485 applications without the earlier ones being formally rejected, will that be likely to cause an issue? i know there were some comments earlier discussing this, but cant seem to directly find them now

Can you shed more light on precisely what your lawyer included in your package for the expedite request? A note? A form? This could be useful for others

Can you explain what you mean by "formally rejected"? A package is either rejected or accepted.
 
In general, filing multiple DV based AOS applications without the previous application being rejected/denied is not recommended.

There is a particular case with two applications in the system at the same time, because the first I-485 has an error which should have led to the Chicago Lockbox rejecting the form (since it did not have the required supporting documents for the erroneous selection), but it wasn't. Anyway, the 2nd package was also accepted, payment wasn't cashed for the 2nd package, and I believe this person is going for their interview in the next couple of days or so.
 
Hi, I just checked my status online. My status is "Case Was Received on June 2" while for my dependents it is "Fingerprint Fee Was Received on June 23". Is this common?

thanks @Sm1smom for the quick response - i was asking for the following reason - i submitted my 2nd package yesterday and ive been replaying any potential scenarios for rejection given the limited time left. my i693 medical sealed envelope was kind of squashed/creased because i'd crammed my stuff in the bag running to fedex - so wondering if they would reject the i485 because of the i693

Sorry to take guys back; how does one check their status online? My online USCIS account only shows details of the EAD application that was completed in 2020 when I applied for pre-completion OPT and nothing more. However, the i-485 checks were cashed from my bank account on June 21st 2021 after package was delivered on June 3 but I haven't received any notification.

There is an "Add a paper-filled case" option under "My Account", then you enter the receipt number.

Stop overthinking, that is what got you in your present situation in the first place.

That on its own shouldn’t impact the possibility of an approval, but you guys do have a complicated status prior to your spouse’s current situation, right?

Yes, that's right. We have the following complicating factors.
1. We have a pending "decision" asylum application and our legal status expired two years after the interview. we are hoping for the "technical exception".
2. My husband's prior BCG vaccine showed TB trace in the blood and not in the X-ray. The CS requires him to take treatment and the econ professor is refusing to do so due to possible effects on the liver. It's like asking someone to remove their COVID Vaccine by using another toxic drug cocktail. The CS did sign but on the condition that he continue treatment. We received a call from the health department about it and have not yet accepted the medication which is administered by nurses on a live cam - to make sure that you do swallow the drug. Can we legally swap the medical or do you see any solution?
3. My son is registered in the DS-260 and we have not paid a DV fee for him because he is a USC. Can I just go ahead and pay to avoid possible delays?
4 Due to the anticipated delay after the AOS interview and given that we received fingerprint waiver letter on 04/22 I submitted a service request today and am also submitting a congressional inquiry.

I am sorry for the lengthy writing.
Thanks,
