DV 2021 AOS Only

Hello everybody!!!! Today is an incredible day. In the morning, the postman brought a letter containing white cards - an approval for the interview of my husband from San Francisco. At one o'clock in the afternoon, our officer from Sacramento on the Green Card himself wrote to us and asked if we had an SSN, he filled out the documents for us and wrote that he approved our green cards and they will come in two weeks. Two positive results on the last day, isn't this a miracle of God? I am grateful to all of you and grateful ritallight, MorningmyGC@7
who prayed for me, I am grateful to this chat and especially to Mom and Susie... It's not in vain, God hears us ... And thanks to him for sending the best people on my path ... Account haven't changed yet, but I'm really happy.
Congrats!!!!!

Amazing, congrats! I was getting worried that we didn't hear from you over the last few days, and I bet I wasn't the only one ;)

Great news. Looks like your IO waited for the asylum case to get approved first before approving the AOS applications. Congratulations to you guys.
 
I’m probably going to be busy with the class of 22 :) - this process is never over for us unlike you “graduating folks”. You guys should certainly get together if one of you is able to coordinate it for those interested.
Oh dear Mom. Yes indeed. We have graduated the class of 2021. God is very good. It was tough but He saw us through.Thanks so very much for the work you and Sussie did for us, and that you continue to do for others.
I pray that the good Lord reward you mightily. You and your children's children will never lack help in life. By the account of what you did for us, it will be multiplied to you 1000-fold. God will send you help always, regardless of the situation.
I pray a blessing over the work of your hands, protection and good health.
Am very grateful.
Stay safe and blessed.

I felt so bad when I followed everything, I stopped sleeping. I decided not to even open my account and not read the chat, but just pray and wait. As MOM advised, I wrote to the Ombudsman and canceled his help, thanking him for his attention. So he didn't to disturb my officer. The last week was the most peaceful, when I completely trusted God to take care of me. And I just prayed. And I am very grateful to you, my dears, for your support and for the fact that you did not forget me. I love you all very much with all my heart. May all of you always have God's Grace. You are now always in my heartсердце.png
 
Hope you did it !!!.

Congratulations Elenita! Hope you did it Abdulmalik please let us know
 
1. You can go ahead and submit now if you wish.
2. No it will not. The I-130 will follow the normal approval process with USCIS before the case gets transferred to NVC and subsequently to the embassy. The DV based DS260 was a submission (via KCC) to the embassy.
3. This is precisely why it would make sense to simply wait the remaining couple of days before filing an I-130 - at that time you simply indicate the previous petition died due to a sunset clause.
Dear mom,

Regarding point 2 I was informed that my I-824 was approved and the case was transferred to the Embassy before the Fiscal Year Ended. Even though they have it now, my I-130 is still processing, do you think the embassy could schedule my wife's interview (F2A) using the case from the FTJ?

Thank you again for all your help during the year. Best wishes

1. The FTJ option is relatively dead at this point.
2. USCIS must approve the I-130 first before the embassy portion can be initiated like I already noted.
 
Dear @Sm1smom,

Myself and one other is currently awaiting our ILs for the Queens FO in NYC. Some historical searching it seems this FO is often required to be pushed around this time, with an InfoPass to actually schedule the interviews. I don't believe we are able to request an InfoPass.

I wanted to ask whether there would be any damage at this point requesting an expedite request - if the T1 agent accepts because of time sensitivity? Alternatively I plan to wait another week or so, then try a congressional inquiry and see how that fairs.

Thank you as always for your assistance and guidance
How did your case end? Did you get approved?
 
Yesterday received Biometrics mails 65 days after NOA, appointment on 9/7. FO San Jose CA
Online case status today shown Interview Scheduled, OMG!! happy!! I am guessing the interview date should be in mid September.

I did initiated congressional inquiry, pleasantly surprised that congress office did replied within 2 days, they went online to check case status prior writing to USCIS. Nice!!
You never came back to update us on your case? Did you get approved?
 
I was almost sure that everything okay. Yesterday I got “Case Was Approved” status. But today… “Case Was Reopened” again. This drives me crazy!
9/23 Interview
9/23 New Card Is Being Produced
9/24 Case Was Approved
9/27 We reopened your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, and are reconsidering our earlier decision
9/27 New Card Is Being Produced
9/28 Case Was Approved
9/29 Case Was Reopened

I contacted Live Agent via Emma. They told me they see that case was approved and no nothing about it being reopened.
Given that tomorrow is the last day - it all looks like a bad joke

No updates on the status were made yesterday. But this night at 3.00 in the morning my status changed to “Card was mailed to me on 9/30/2021”.
I will never believe it until I hold a GC in my hand. But it seems that finally it will happen soon.
Thank you Mom and everyone for all the info gathered here. It was extremely useful while filing my case.
My case was risky because of less than 2 months left until the FY end. I was afraid that I won’t have a chance to have an interview. But USCIS did there best.
Despite the fact that my interview experience was rather unusual, and then all the statuses were so messed up until the very end, now I feel like some kind of relief.
