DV 2021 AOS Only

Sm1smom said:
You withdrew your marriage based I-485??? Why on earth did you do that considering your CN wasn't even current and it is possible to have multiple AOS applications (based on different requirements) running simultaneously in the system? And I have to say, I'm further confused considering not too long ago (March and April 2021 to be precise), you posted twice about your pending marriage based AOS application - how could it be pending if you already withdrew the application?




Anyway, if you are married to a USC, filing a motion to reconsider is not your only option. You can still file a marriage based AOS application even if you are currently out of status - over-stay/out of status is overlooked for immediate family members of a USC.

@Sm1smom @SusieQQQ I know my situation is very complicated.
Yes, I withdrew the marriage based AOS because my US citizen husband is not qualified to be a green card sponsor (don't want to go into details) and according to our attorney we were close to get an "intent to deny". Our attorney advised us to withdraw before that would happened because that doesn't look good for future applications (dv-lottery).
I do feel like our attorney mislead us on several things....

I've been confused about the whole withdrawal process. As I mentioned earlier we withdrew the AOS in November 2020 but nothing happened. We haven't received a confirmation and til this day it's still an open pending case in my account but according to the attorney the withdrawal is valid the day we signed it. I did attend a biometrics appointment in March and they updated the case online (even though we had withdrew it).
But as I understand USCIS doesn't have to do anything about a withdrawal? So even if it shows up online I should consider it a closed case, I guess (?)

All my hope was to get the green card through the lottery and file before my non immigrant status expired. Everything went good until yesterday.

Thank you, that's really good news if I can file another marriage based I-485. Even though my husband doesn't qualify, there are waivers and time to save and I would be here lawfully which is the main thing right now.
 
Hello everyone!

I'm a DV2021 selectee, currently in the US. I wanna do an AoS and would like to know how long it usually takes to receive the payment receipt from the USCIS office (especially now with Covid)?

Thanks!!!

Receipt comes from DOS not USCIS. Take a look at the spreadsheet linked at the first page, look at FAQ and timeline tabs. It takes 4-5 weeks.

Am I now the longest person who have been waiting to be cashed & accepted now? My package arrived on 5/14 and it has been 39 days. Still no rejected documents, no notification....checked with the agent via their website and they have no indication of our application.

Thanks!
And I believe in case I want to expedite my AoS, I do that after I receive the payment receipt when I'm ready to send my docs, right?
In case of expedited AoS, how fast do they process the case?

No it doesn’t work that way. If it was that easy, all those currently waiting would have already completed the process by now. Spend some time going through the AOS process spreadsheet first.

I will go through the spreadsheet! But considering the tight timeline, do you think I can manage to get approved by Sep 30?

Hi Mom,

My package delivered on 06/04 and I got the acceptance text 06/17 but I haven't received the NOA letter yet. I called USCIS and they told me my letter was mailed to me on 06/15. It's been 10 days and I still haven't received that. Do you think this is something that I should ask from USPS or I should call USCIS again to check on their end again? I know NOA letter is not super important (although it has the Alien number on it), but considering that Bio letter will also be sent to me by the NBC, I'm a little bit concerned that I'll be experiencing the same delay over my bio letter.
P.S. I double checked with USCIS if they have the address right and they did.

Our package was delivered on 06/03, checks cased on 06/21 and today (06/24) we've received our NOA. We have no text or email.
