If you include your balance of your bank account(checking, savings, etc) on I-944, then you need to include 12 months statements.
If you have a balance on your credit card, you need to include the credit card statement as well( might be reported on your credit report as well)

I forgot to include the credit card statement...however it was recorded in my credit report. Will this be a problem!

No it wouldn't be a problem. But take a copy of your most recent statement to the interview(you may never need those but wouldn't hurt your case for overprepared
 
Hi mom,

I'm wondering - is there a cut off for switching from CP to AOS? I'm currently in US and filed for CP, but if the ban continues I'd like to switch over to AOS. My case is relatively low so I think it should be up in Dec/Jan if I go by previous years. I just want to make sure I do the switch ahead of time in case there's a cut off time.

Thanks!

The safe "deadline" is to make the switch prior to KCC scheduling your CP interview. Once KCC schedules the interview, that means your KCC file has already been sent out to the embassy with jurisdiction over the home address where the CP interview will be taking place. If you make the switch after that, you will have to work directly with the embassy to get the KCC file transferred back to the USCIS for AOS processing.

Dear Mom, I am going to mail my package tomorrow and this is the final check.
in I-944 form,

1-Part2, Item 1, when I choose "self" as the relation should I answer two questions after that?

2- Part3, question 7, Since I didn't have any additional income, should I even answer?

And Finally, each form (485 and 944) needs one signature, right?

1. Part 2 Item 1A - fully list yourself. The follow-up Yes/No questions will not be applicable in that case.

2. Part 3 Item 7 - if Item 6 is not applicable to you, 7 will not either.

3. Sign each form as applicable. You do not sign the section where it says "signature at interview"
 
Hello,

Thanks for the great forum and documents. It is incredibly helpful.

I have a complicated situation where I (principal application, DV 2021) and my wife are both J1 visa holders. Unfortunately, we don't have the financial means to get J1 waiver for both of us.

In this case, is it even possible to get GC with AoS> Actually, I should probably ask, is it even possible to get GC?

Thanks for your response.

Does this mean that given the ban lasting til end of the year, that KCC will not be sending out 2NLs and interviews, so I would have at least til the end of the year to switch over?

I'm also waiting on USCIS to process my OPT right now, so I'm not sure if switching over back to AOS now will interrupt/disrupt that process (it's meant to be processed and approved by Dec)?

There’s no GC approval for anyone subject to a 2YHRR who fails to obtain the applicable waiver, regardless of if processing AOS or CP.

1. I have no idea as to when KCC will start scheduling 2021 CP interview - the only thing we know is that they’re not currently doing so as of now due to the existing travel ban EO.

2. No impact.
 
Hi @Sm1smom,

I am preparing to send my package by the end of this week; however, I have not yet received 2NL. We submitted DS-260 and paid the DV processing fee three weeks back. I have already received the receipt back.
1) Could you please suggest to me if I should wait for 2NL before submitting the package, or I can send it without 2NL? I sent an email to KCC last Friday, and I am awaiting their response.

2) Form I-485, Part 1 Q. 24: What is your current immigration status (if it has changed since your arrival)? My wife is currently in STEM OPT status, so I am confused if she should mention "F1" or "STEM OPT"?

1. You can mail the package without the 2NL.
2. F1. STEM OPT is still under F1.

Thanks for your response.

I want to follow up with two questions.

1) Given that the principal applicant will have the waiver, is the GC denied for both or only for the one who does not have the waiver?

2) Is it possible to pursue the GC application via AoS only for the principal applicant?

Thanks for the responses.

1. If the principal applicant alone has a waiver, the principal applicant alone becomes eligible to file for GC. The one without the waiver will be ineligible to apply for a GC without fulfilling the HRR.

2. Yes.

Hi Mom.
When filling form I-944 for my wife, how do I provide evidence that she does not have a credit report? My wife is on F2 and is not allowed to work nor has SSN. I contacted the credit agencies but they did not help me get a proof that she doesn't have a credit report with them.
Please help!

Hey! I’m a DV 2020 AOS selectee. In my case I didn’t have a credit score and the only company that provided me a letter stating that “based on the information we don’t have a credit report under this person’s name” or smth like that, was Transunion. It’s also free of charge.

Good luck with the process!

I cannot describe how this response helped me have a relief. I was so much stressed out. Thank you so much :)
