Hey,

I graduated from a US university with a Masters. I have requested the official transcript via mail, however, since my university is closed due to COVID, it takes longer than usual to receive the transcripts via mail. They informed me that while I am waiting I can request an official transcript via email, which I did and have received. But, I am still waiting for the paper transcript, to be received via mail. I have not received the interview date yet, but I am concerned about this. In case I do not get the paper transcript by mail, before my interview, do you think, I can print the official transcript received via email, and take it with me for the interview?

Thank you

IMO you should print what you have and bring it with you if you do not receive the other one before the interview. My IO asked for all of my transcripts from every single school as proof of attendance.
 
Hi everyone. I had a question about fingerprint. But firstly let me give some background. So I came to US on June 2019 as J1 and I changed my status to F1 on September 2019. While I applied for I-539 form I gave my fingerprint appointment on March 2020 and second time when I extended my I-539, they used my fingerprint after 5-6 months later. (I have got mail we used your fingerprint). And on this May of this year when my case number was active my lawyer started to I-485 form (dv based). We sent it on 7th of May and I got NOL on 29th of May. Since this date it is "we received your fingerprint fee". So my question is do you guys think they will use my fingerprint again for my case or not?

You'll just have to wait and see if they'll do so or not.

Just FYI, it took 39 days for KCC to give any response to the email I sent them (by then I had already received my receipt), and it was pretty much a boilerplate response (See Below). I did not respond to the email, so I am not sure how much longer I would have had to wait for an emailed receipt.

"Thank you for your inquiry.

The information you provided will be forwarded to the appropriate department.

In order for the Kentucky Consular Center to assist with inquiries regarding a specific Diversity Visa (DV) case, you must provide the Principal Applicant's full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY) as entered on the original entry. Please remember that the Kentucky Consular Center does not have the authority to tell you whether or not your specific case will be disqualified. Only a consular officer can do that at the time of your visa interview. Do not send any paper documents to the Kentucky Consular Center."

Yeah this is maddening. I don't even know what to do next other than wait. 36days and counting. Still no DV Fee receipt.
 
Hi everyone

I filed my AOS petition in early June and the package was accepted by NBC / receipt issued.

Q. Should I expect to see a status update when my file is transferred to the local Field Office?

My case status currently reads "Fingerprint Fee Was Received" when I plug my receipt number into the Case Status check page on the USCIS website. But it reads "Invalid date" under the Case History tab on my actual USCIS Account page.

I am aware that there have been some technical issues with the USCIS website lately, so I'm hoping they will be fixed during scheduled maintenance over the next few days, but just wanted to ask those who are further along in the process how detailed the updates have been once their package was accepted.

Thanks!

No, you will not see any updates when the file is transferred to your FO. Do not expect to see any updates until after your biometric appointment.
 
About those reopened cases, I heard that they revoked a rule where they should deny cases because of minor errors in I-485, probably that’s related to it. Sorry can’t find that post now.
 
My Update;

FO: Reno Nevada

May 18th: AOS package was sent,
May 22nd (Saturday): USPS delivered my package,
May 24th: USCIS received my package (on NOA & IL),
June 10th: Received acceptance text,
June 11th: I-485 fee cashed,
June 15th: NOA received,
Today (July 1st): IL received without bio letter. ASC is in the same building, so hopefully I can do my bio on my interview day.
Interview: July 27th...

Q1: Mom, my wife is an American, so she doesn't have to go with me during my interview right?

I wish everyone all the best!!

Thank you mom and everyone. This forum is incredible!!!

That is correct. The interview has nothing to do with her.

I sent early June too and did not get a letter for me. I think we might see some update next week regarding fingerprint.
