DV 2021 AOS Only

We got them yesterday. Wow, that’s an amazing feeling. My dream since school became true. I would like to say tons of thanks to all active and honest people here, you made the journey from taking a decision to apply for AOS to physical cards in hands as easy as possible. I made mistakes, asked silly questions, have been nervous time to time and always got calmer on this forum! Thank you @Sm1smom, thank you for all the help and support you gave and keep giving us! In the beginning, many of us were like real kids, so… thank you mom!!
lol - congratulations. Enjoy your new status. Do complete your update on the timeline spreadsheet if you haven’t done so already.
 
Hi everyone,

I am new here
1. For Form i134, how many years of tax transcript (w2) does the sponsor need to attach.
2. Also, MUST they attach payslips to the forms as well?

Dear Mom, we are going to travel to our country to leave everything in order before returning America. So we only need our old valid passport and the GCs to re-enter? Or is an additional stamp necessary? Thank you
 
A joyous update to let you know that my case status just changed to "New Card Being Produced"!!!Thank you so much @Sm1smom for all your invaluable advise throughout this process- I simply cannot thank you enough but plan to pay it forward. Thanks to all the forum members for your support and encouragement. My thoughts are with those still waiting- it is one of the hardest things, I send you good vibes. I have updated the spreadsheet and will update with my experience once the process is complete.

1&2: take a look at the AOS process spreadsheet for what the sponsor should provide in support on the I-134.
 
Hi Everyone!

My status got changed to New Card is Being Produced! I still can't believe it :)
I'll try to write my interview experience and other stuff that happened to me like change of address issues and missing mails, but for now I would like to thank you all for your help and support throughout this stressful journey!
@Sm1smom I'm sure that you heard this a thousand times, but I'll never forget what you built up here for DV AOS applicants. Volunteer work is something that I've always respected and I promised myself a long ago that I'll try to help other folks and walk them through the AOS process after I'm done with it myself. Your work here motivated me to help other applicants. I have started that a while ago with helping some DV-2022 applicants from our home country. There are some points that I realized through this process that it might be useful for other people and will share it with you. I'll drink to you and other folks here tonight :)

Best wishes
 
Oh really? I was told otherwise. Looks like I do not have a chance then.
It is both in the entry instructions and the instructions for selectees. I am not sure who told you otherwise, but it is clearly stated in a few places. Example

All DV-2021 diversity visa program applicants must be found eligible for, and obtain, their visa or adjust status by the end of fiscal year 2021 (September 30, 2021).

So I did not know about the AOS until a few days ago. And when I spoke to an immigration attorney and he told me as long as USCIS receives my application before the deadline (September 30th), I can go ahead with the process. And also since some visas were preserved in the Gomez case I thought I was still on the right track.

I am going to lose the opportunity to get my green card.
