Hi guys. I contacted my attorney regarding the expedite request situation on Friday and I expect to hear back tomorrow. I will post an update here when that happens.

Also, on Friday, my status changed to "card was mailed" but it didn't have a tracking number. I think that happens the next business day usually, so I expect to have tracking number information tomorrow. I am also signed up for Informed Delivery from USPS.

Does anyone know where green cards are mailed from? As much as I know, they are not mailed from the field office.

You'll see a tracking number when USPS pick up the envelope. I don't remember where mine was mailed from though. It's priority mail if I remember correctly so it takes 2-3 days.

BTW, my card was mailed to my attorney's office for some reason, so don't panic if you don't see it on your Informed Delivery dashboard.

There is no known case where simultaneous OPT and i-485 AOS applications affect each other. But it's good that she maintained her F-1 status so that if i-485 does not get approved, she has a fall back status of F-1.

Would her later OPT application be affected by a previous immigration intent if i-485 does not get through? I don't know that. Maybe someone else can better comment on that.

We got acceptance text message today

Yes, you can proactively inform the IO - although he/she will already be aware of the double filing. So yes, go ahead and mention it if he/she fails to bring it up.

Hello Mom,

Today the case status of our second package was changed to "case was rejected due to insufficient funds". No change in the first package case status. So, I have few questions.
1. Does that mean the two cases were not connected and progressed separately so far?
2. Still, Do we need to inform the IO about the double filing?
3. Will this affect our upcoming interview? (both cases had the same A number in the NOA)

Thank you.
 
Hey Mom and others,

Are most cvil surgeons aware of the required vaccines for the i-693? I assumed mine knew (she's done many many i-693 forms) but now I'm afraid that she didn't give us all of them. As far as I know we only got the TDAP and MMR. I've had chicken pox before but she didn't ask me. We went for our blood and urine tests as required.

Check out the spreadsheet (medical exam tab!)
You (as an adult) should have TDAP, MMR, Varicella (most CSs accept your records/words if you let them know you've had chickenpox in childhood or whenever); Since it's NOT the flu season right now, you don't need that one at the moment!

thanks Milz! Yes I saw that and thought it was strange that she didn't mention the Varicella. So I then thought well she's done so many of these and she is a legit CS so she would know! She asked our age and we told her (in our 40s) and she said we only need TDAP and MMR. I'm picking up the envelopes tomorrow and now I'm a bit worried..

Just double check everything before CS seals the envelope (Relevant boxes checked, everything filled completely) + don’t forget to get your copies!
Good luck,
 
Hi, I was not able to put N/A in (other names you have used since birth section). I was only able to type None. Does it matter if I write N/A or None ? Capture.PNG

1. May be, may be not. It could also mean someone was trying to fix up their own error - you submitted the application with the applicable/sufficient payment, they decided to to accept the package without processing the payment. Don't stress out over the update or the wordings used.
2. You can still bring it up - especially since you will want to point out the error on the original filing and request for it to be corrected.
3. No, it shouldn't.

What to write in Part 12?
Contact Information, Declaration, and Signature of the Person Preparing this Application, if other than the Applicant

As I am preparing myself the application, should I have to write N/A or write my name?

Leave the section blank. If you decide to write N/A or None, you will need to make sure you write the same thing on all the lines including the signature part.

Thank you mom.
 
Hi Sm1smom,

Can you please let me the specific address I must use for the $1225 Money order?
I don't see one on the AOS process spreadsheet
 
Hi Mom I have a question for future reference , for early filing rejection/denial, do they consider acceptance date or delivery date of the package to lockbox. Thanks
