Thank you very much.
I have one question. In the interview letter there is a big list of everything that I must bring with me to the interview. But some items are not related to DV case, like I-864 form which Is more common for family based and marriage based and employment based applications. Is that a standard template text in all IL?
 
Hi Mom. As one of my RFE requests is proving personal funds or showing sponsor in US. So I can't find anybody to sponsor me. I want to show my personal fund in US or outside. I'm single here and I'm student. How much money should I have in my person account? How much is preferred to show? Thanks

Good morning Mom,

After asking Congressman office for a help in my situation, Congressman office were able to find out that USCIS even never printed and never sent my IL to me, so it was admin error. After that they have reopened my denied case and scheduled me a new interview appointment.

Look at #9695 and #7437.
 
A friend of mine has his AOS application sent to the wrong place and is now readying his application to send it on Monday, Aug 9. Given ongoing delays do you think he has a chance? What is an alternative option for him? He also has an NIW approved i-140.
 
If one checked the SSID request box on I-485, how does he/she go about getting SSID & the card following the permanent residency?

There are numerous examples of success stories of people filing late in the fiscal year (Even as late as the end of August / early September), so it's not impossible!

With that being said, COVID / IO is unpredictable, and I think your friend should proceed with a level of diligence when following up his case and prepare for any outcome, good or bad.

Again, nothing is guaranteed at this stage, but I personally still think it's worth a shot.

Not sure if this would impact his AOS, but I would assume this can be used to demonstrate to the IO that your friend may not be a public charge. (I would appreciate it if someone could verify my answer please)

Hello mom, Thank you very much for your help,

I have three more questions:

1. What does it mean to hold a check at USCIS after two weeks of receiving it?
2. Despite holding the first check, if I do not send another check, how will they receive 1225$?
3. Since my check was held after two weeks, what is likely to happen to my case?

Thank you very much for your time, and I really appreciate any input on this matter.

1. I don’t know. Maybe your check bounced?
2. If there’s a problem with the first check you sent in, they obviously have no way of receiving another payment if a new payment isn’t made. You can’t simply send in a new payment on its own without being requested to do so.
3. I don’t know, no idea as to what is going on considering you already received the NOA for your own application, it is your wife who currently has no NOA, even though the check that was supposed to be for her own payment is the one that got processed. You should contact USCIS again on Monday and simply state you haven’t received the NOA for your wife’s application but you got the acceptance notification though.

See the Interview Tips section of the AOS process spreadsheet like @jasperrrr.c already recommended.

He should re-send his DV based AOS package to the right lockbox, then keep his fingers crossed and wait and see.

Maybe if you can demonstrate a substantial savings of about $20,000 or more in your account, the IO may find that acceptable.

Hello mom,

We had our interview today. It was so quick (15 minutes), and the officer was really nice. The interview was super easy. The officer called our names, and we followed him to his office. We gave the oath, and the officer asked questions from I-485 (last arrival, graduation date, visa status, and security questions). Also, the officer asked about the question that we made the error. Then he corrected it and told us it is not a big deal. Same time, we informed about the error and double filing (we got our rejected package yesterday). The officer did not ask for any documents, and he asked us to sign the I-485 for the correction the officer made. Then he asked about our studies and told us that the case was approved. We gave the job offer letter, enrollment verification, and tax transcript. When we come to the car park, the case status changed to "New card is being produced."

Our special thanks go to Mom for her invaluable suggestions and guide us in the correct direction throughout this process. Really appreciate your time and support.

Also, we would like to thank everyone in the forum for sharing their experience, and this forum is a great resource. We wish everyone in this forum good luck.

hey! may I know what did you give as the enrollment verification. I just recently started working, so I don't have a tax transcript yet.

Having your lawyer in attendance has no negative consequences, assuming your IO has been briefed ahead of time and is aware your lawyer will be joining your interview virtually.The lawyer obviously cannot answer any question on your behalf nor stop the IO from asking any pertinent question they need to ask in order to adjudicate your application.
