none of the Illinois offices are listed as currently having extended hours? https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis-office-closings
(and Google has 8am opening listed for norridge, if that is the one you were referring to?)
DV 2021 AOS Only

- Start date

Dear Mom,,
Quick question, which has been troubling me abit. We just received our bio and IL for later on August. I am a derivative, my wife is principal. Between submitting in May and now, I traveled on duty to Afghanistan returned on 30 July. Our bio letters arrived on the 6 Aug and IL on 7 Aug. My I-485 had earlier I94 arrival date, which now is different of course. Should I print my new I94 and bring to interview? how will this travel impact decicion? I did not get a parole, maintaining a valid non-immigrant visa.

Hi every body,
I have a question about my case. Appreciate if someone knows about it.
Does receiving the approval email from KCC regarding the documents means that everything about my documents is OK?
explanation: I'm Asian (only passport that I have) , and I'm living in Europe legally for 5 years on work permit. I'm a winner of 2021 with EU code. So my CN is like 2021EU**** (I really have no idea why it is like that since I put my place of birth as the Asian country and even my passport number correctly, and only wrote the home address in Europe)
I started the AOS process a couple of days ago in US and I'm just not sure if the CN would be a problem or not? since I don't have a European passport.

Norridge is listed as having extended hours here.
I'm not sure where google gets their info from (they don't show hours for my local FO in Indy), but in this case they seem to be correct.
I will try Norridge on Friday or sometime next week. Please let us know your experience after today's visit. Thank you.

What is your current status in the US? Which visa did you return on? The answer to this question is VERY important to your pending AOS application.

The document related email from KCC is for CP, non AOS related so I’m not going to bother answering what it means in terms of everything about your documents being okay or not.
If you tell us your specific birth country as against saying you’re “Asian”, we will have a better understanding of your situation and will be able to better answer why your CN shows an EU number.
In the interim, here’s what possibly happened on your entry form, you probably listed your birth country correctly but selected your European residency country as your chargeability country. In which case you’re wrongly charged and your application should be subsequently denied.

Odd, seems one uscis page is updated and one isn’t. I am reliably told (by someone in retail) that google’s information comes from the business/organization concerned and it is up to them to let google know of changed hours etc.

If you follow up with your congressman’s office at the end of this week and they have no update for you, then yes consider reaching out to your senator for case follow up assistance.
p.s. apologies, your post was unintentional jumped over yesterday.
I was on G4, and returned on G4. I was given D/S on arrival.

You need to provide more context about your case in order for us to have a better understanding and provide appropriate guidance. You have no historical post in this forum, so can’t offer an appropriate response for your situation.

Success! I just did it a few minutes ago. There was no one in there. The lady still had to ask the supervisor, but she came back and said because it was scheduled for Monday and that's a busy day, they could do it. Honestly I don't understand what the story is when the place is empty and there's a massive backlog. Maybe this is why there's a backlog. But anyway I was in and out in 5 minutes. I would definitely try tomorrow morning if I were you.

Yes, what country? as example some countries that are usually referred to as being in Central Asia are categorized under EU for DV purposes. If it is indeed a country that should have been classified as AS then you must have made a mistake in the chargeability selection and would be disqualified.
By the way it does not matter at all what passport you hold. What matters is that you selected the correct country to charge to. Not everyone has passports or citizenship of where they were born.
Thank you @Sm1smom for your clarification, so there is no specific connection between them.
I'm Iranian and I' living in Italy for 5 years.
That is exactly what I did while filling out the registration form as I had no clue what it meant. Should I stop any further steps? I will be 100% rejected?

Why did you not read the instructions? They explain it clearly. Yes, unfortunately that is a disqualifying mistake.

unless @Sm1smom has any particular insight on G visas that I’m unaware of, my understanding is that you abandoned your AOS application by traveling without AP as you do not hold a dual intent visa. Luckily your wife is the principal and (assuming she did not also travel out and is therefore ok to proceed) she will be able to sponsor you for a family based green card after she gets her owm.
Ohhhh, what a pity
, alright maybe I will win it again, God bless USA

BIG mistake, traveling outside the US without an approved AP card while the AOS application is pending. AFAIK, a G visa does not fall under a dual intent status which would have allowed you to depart and return to the US without an approved AP while your AOS application is pending. Traveling like you did typically leads to the pending AOS application being considered as abandoned.

So you charged yourself to the wrong country. For CP, it is an automatic denial - the COs are more vigilant about such things. AOS is iffy, the IO may or may not catch the wrong chargeability country and subsequently approve the case. However if that were to happen, the GC can still be revoked if the erroneous approval is later on discovered. I can't help you decide if you should continue processing or basically stop at this point, this is your call.
By the way, it seems to me you came into the US on a visitor's visa with the preconceived intent of filing AOS, right? Well that is another potential issue the IO may scrutinize. Anyway, your case, your call.
Congratz !!!! That is great, thank you. I will try it tomorrow !!!
