DV 2021 AOS Only

I don't think the response your provided is right with all due respect. Several people whose applications were rejected were able to get all their documents back.
Yes, whatever you want ... but you will not receive money in any case if it is cashed ... yes, my application was rejected due to an officer's mistake and now the case is under consideration again, and I showed everyone my experience, my case was accepted according to the documents I have everything ok, read all the letters and do not forget that the human factor plays a big role .. I wish you good luck getting your green card.
 
Thanks for including the actual documents you got from your FO, it takes out the guess work and makes it a lot easier to understand what is going on with your case. From the first letter, it shows you were denied for two reasons, not just one:
1. You were denied for early filing
2. You were denied for being out of status

They however have decided to reopen and review the case because of the early filing wrongful denial. They are therefore giving you an opportunity to demonstrate you have a valid non-immigrant status to adjust from considering your admitted authorized stay had already expired as at the time you sent in your AOS package. If you can make a case for them to consider asylum pending period in that light, they will approve your case. One thing working in your favor is the fact that the asylum has since been granted, so fingers crossed for you.

All he best!
Thank you. On 1 question, my immigration lawyer confirmed that I can submit documents 2 weeks earlier with a cover letter, since in the case the child turns 21, and they have it on their website just like that if there is a child of 21, then you need to send it as soon as possible rather, on 2 questions at the discretion of the officer, but I relied on cases that were positive in my status .. there are very few of them, less than refusals, but I took this risk ..And I don't know why they think they received my case on April 15, this is the date when I sent my package from my mail, but along the track they received it a week later, about April 22, but they wrote to me the date of sending, although of course this does not matter. ...

I think the person was asking about the lockbox. Lockbox rejection (entire package including payment returned) is different from denial by an officer at the FO. You were denied (not rejected).
 
Hi everyone, good news, I just received my biometrics letter in the mail. I'm sharing my timeline. AS32XXX. Current status: H1B.

4/23/2021 - Submitted DV fee
5/14/2021 - Submitted I-485
5/17/2021 - USCIS received package
6/3/2021 - NOA text received
6/7/2021 - NOA physical letter received in the mail
7/3/2021 - Received Biometrics Appointment letter scheduled for 7/26/2021 at Fresno, CA field office

Should I be worried that I'm getting my biometrics appointment this close to September? How long should I expect to wait after the biometrics appointment for the interview?
You’ll be fine, your further up ahead than a lot of us. Congrats on getting bio letter!

I think you did not understand the question you responded to. The person was asking about the lockbox. Please go back and read the question carefully. What @Ybuster asked and what you're talking about is totally different. We are here to help eachother, so I think I have the right to correct you if you're wrong.
Thanks
 
Hi Mom,

We have received (family of 4) our interview letters and the letters note to take a completed I-864. We are well above the poverty levels and submitted all W2s, tax transcripts, payslips and bank statements as supporting documentation. Is this just a general interview letter that all families receive or do we have to take a completed I-864? Thank you in advance for your assistance once again.

And, before anyone asks, I have not completed the timeline as I do not have (and don't want to create, if possible) a Google account, however I am more than happy to post our timeline here for it to be added to the spreadsheet.
 
Thanks for the update. Can you add your info to the timeline spreadsheet if you haven’t done so already? It is a lot more useful on the spreadsheet.
Am surprised they get an interview in Indianapolis for May/June delivered cases and never do so for March/April delivered cases with much earlier case numbers? I suspect it has to do with whether your case is AS or AF or EU?

DV selectees are not required to complete the I-864 form, what you got it's a general interview letter.
If you want to be on the safe side you can bring with you a proof of this: there is a useful link about Public Charge in the section interview tips of the spreadsheet.

I literally just read this in the Interview Tips tab. I guess it’s just a generic letter they’ve sent.
My apologies Mom, I was just getting to that part.

Ignore the I-864 request, seems like you got a generic interview notice in use by your FO.

Your reluctance to create a non-google account simply for updating the timeline spreadsheet is well understood (although I do believe there are several users who have been able to edit the timeline spreadsheet with non google accounts). Anyone who has benefited one way or the other from the spreadsheet is encouraged to contribute their quota by helping others too. So if your comfort level at doing so is by posting your detailed timeline in the forum, please go ahead anddo so. The information will be transposed to the spreadsheet.

You mean as in purposely not scheduling interview for AF selectees, while prioritizing AS and/or EU selectees? Absolutely! USCIS does not operate that way. Especially when it is not like the visa quota for a particular region has been exhausted, and they see no point in scheduling for that region.

If it makes you feel any better I have an EU number in Indy and I got my NOA almost a month before them, and I still haven't got a bio or interview letter either!

Did you mean, absolutely not?
 
I also see my online status as "your interview was scheduled" on the USCIS. Some sources state that if the online status has is updated, then bio information must have been completed. Maybe my bio is waived?
Same here, my interview was scheduled for 07/26; I'm also still waiting for the Bio Letter

Just wondering how you guys are able to keep track of your status?
My (and many other friends’) online accounts have not been showing anything @ least for the last 2-3 weeks!
