DV 2021 AOS Only

Does the link say anything about why you did not make the payment for your spouse? You guys keep complicating things for yourself when you begin to over-analyze things and end up providing unnecessary information what you consider as "evidence" or "supporting document". The link is completely unnecessary IMO, you just needed to respond back with an email stating why you paid for one person. It is really that simple! KCC is not taking phone calls.

I explained it in the email as follows mom. I thought it was better since at the end it says that Family members living overseas will pay the diversity immigrant visa fees at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where they will receive their visa. The fee for these family members must not be paid in the United States. and thats why I included that link :(

"I am the only person who is adjusting the status here in the USA and my wife is residing in my home country and she does not have any U.S. Visa at this time. My wife is not eligible to make the $330 DV administrative fee payment in advance like I did because she is not processing Adjustment of Status, and she will be making the payment at the embassy as required when she goes for the follow to join part of the process after my case gets approved. "

Hi Mom!

I got a call from the visa officer who interviewed me and told me that there are 2 persons listed under my application and they have received payment for only one person. I said him that my wife is in my home country and I did not want to make a payment for her since she is not adjusting her visa with me.

I told him I was going to file a i-864 upon approval of my case. I think he is not understanding what I am saying and he said he would need to talk to somebody and they would call me if necessary. I am kind of lost about what I should do now.
May be this is because I submitted ds-260 for my wife too. :(

Similar here.
I got an email from KCC stating that there were two people in my case and the fee was paid only for one person.
Although we initially submitted DS260 for both of us, later we had to adjust the status only for me because we were required to have J1 waivers and we can get it only for me.

I was confused why KCC would require an explanation and would my explanation above suffice?

Also, I am scheduled for an interview. Does anyone know how this situation impacts my application?

Because KCC has no crystal ball for figuring out your plan has has changed and your spouse is no longer benefitting from your DV selection. You need to respond back to KCC explaining your wife is no longer processing AOS with you, and will not be processing CP either as your DV derivative. If you do not clearly respond to KCC, they will not forward your KCC file to your FO which will delay your approval process.
 
USCIS UPDATE RE SSN:

Applicants filing for lawful permanent resident status are now able to apply for a Social Security number (SSN) or replacement card as part of the adjustment of status application process. Previously, these individuals had to apply for a Social Security number at a Social Security office. USCIS is revising Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, to include the additional questions needed to apply for an SSN or a replacement card. This change to Form I-485 is effective immediately, and applicants can begin filing with the updated form today.

Thank you for your response @Sm1smom.

I understand that it is about KCC to forward our application to Field Office.

However, my application is already in the Field Office. I received notification for an interview from the Field Office. I think I am missing something about the process. Could you elaborate more?

No, it is not about KCC forwarding your "application" to your FO or your "application" already being with your FO, KCC has nothing to do with your AOS application. The KCC file is different from you AOS application. Take a look at the FAQ section of the AOS process spreadsheet for more on the KCC file.

Thank you for the detailed explanation and for addressing further information.

I just wanted to elaborate on my understanding based on your statement "If you do not clearly respond to KCC, they will not forward your KCC file to your FO which will delay your approval process.". Looks like I misunderstood it. I apologize for this.

No worries.
 
I saw a post earlier today that someone was asked to produce marriage pictures, travel itineraries etc, but they lived in different cities. Has anyone who lives with their spouse been asked for an evidence other than joint tax returns and a marriage certificate?
 
For the people who had their interview waived, did you receive a notice for interview and then received a notice saying card being produced, or did you get an email.
 
I completed the Privacy Authorization Form but when I click on "submit". I'm getting this error. I already tried submitting on two different devices and browser. Same error :(

I had the same issue and submitted without attachment- just added the notice date in the body of my request. Now, I did not hear back from them (yet) but my bio were scheduled a couple of days after the request and I am not sure if that helped or not.

Thank you for sharing. So it's the uploaded/attached document which is the causing the error, it seems. Your congressman office did not contact you to request the NOA document?

Apparently it's about the attachment per my experience. No they didn't. I was going to go to their office in person today, a week after the request, but since the bio got scheduled, I haven't followed up with them yet.

I tried to submit the form without attaching the NOA. I'm getting another error. This is frustrating :eek:

@Sm1smom do u think requesting for expedite may delay the process if not approved? I have been waiting for my IL for little over 40 days. My OPT EAD will expire soon and need source of Income to provide for my family. This is the reason that I want to expedite.
