DV 2021 AOS Only

Hi @Sm1smom,

1. I just got my "self-addressed stamped envelope" for DOS 330$ DV payment.
Unlike others who have received official emails (with the whole procedure details in the email), I have only got the attached photo in my envelop.
Is that all good (either as DV payment receipt or 2NL)?
2. Also, I haven't heard anything from KCC after submitting DS-260 (almost 1 month); should I follow up like email them? or they might not even send anything @ all.

Thanks a lot mom.

1. That is THE payment receipt.
2. There’s really no need to follow up with the KCC. The 2NL is not a do or die issue. You may still get it or you may not, no big deal if you don’t. Plus if you ask the KCC about the 2NL, you will get their canned response about not issuing 2NL for AOS.

Alright.
Thanks for always being helpful mom
 
Hi everyone,

I've just ordered translations of all my docs and there is a question. Should it be in originals or scan will be ok? Is it normal to apply scan copy of certified translations( stamp and seal and translator's signature) or they need originals?

Thanks a lot
 
hello mom,
My long birth certificate has my father's unofficial name whereas other documents has an official name. However, i have a government document stating that both names refer to a same person. Will this document help? Is it going to be an issue? what do you suggest me to do?

Copies of the translation are fine. be sure to take the originals to the interview.

I don’t know if it may or may not be an issue.
 
Hello Mom,

1. Would it make sense if I just assume my number 2021EU000061XX becomes current in January, so I can go ahead and complete the medical exam now, or should I hold off for the official visa bulletin to come out? I've already received the DV admin payment receipt back and filled out most of the forms, thanks to your enormously useful spreadsheet.

2. Also, if in January the Executive Order doesn't get extended, would I potentially have better bets going with CP vs AOS? Just wondering if sending the AOS package on January 1st would be cutting it too close to Sep 30, 2020, or should there still be enough time to get the greencard before the end of FI? Appreciate your insight!

Thank you!

Hi Everyone!
Subject: After Submitting DS-260
Case Number: 2021 AS 8,9XX
DS 260 Filed: Oct 20th

I heard from other applicants that they received an email regarding the AOS plan and USCIS 330$ payment within 1-2 weeks.
I have not received any email from KCC regarding AOS and payment.

The only email I have received so far is the DS260 application confirmation (auto-generated) with1 PDF attachment file.

Question 1: How long should I wait for another email?
Question 2: Is the next email about AOS and Payment I am waiting for called 2NL?
Question 3: What would the next email that I should be getting looks like?

The following screenshot is the email I have received so far.

I did supply the form, but it seems that they don't send notification except the paper one.

They do send text/email notification when the package is officially accepted (not when delivered) if form G-1145 is included with the package.

1. EU61*** may become current in Jan. or the cut-off number for Jan. may remain the same as Dec. considering no CP case has been processed till date and they may decide to further slow down the CN progression because of that. You’re probably better off waiting.

2. If you think sending off AOS package in Jan. is cutting it too close, what do you think of AOSers filing in July?:). I think you should spend some time going over some of the past timeline spreadsheets to get an idea of the processing time for your potential FO, you’ll also be able to see how “late” some filed and successfully completed the process.

1. Getting the 2NL can take several weeks to several months, be patient.
2. The email from KCC typically contains the 2NL (attachment) and the DV payment instructions
3. Explained in this post
 
Hello,
Need your guidance:
French citizen is in USA on E-2 visa.
Won a 2021 lottery. (EU 14K)
Got laid-off with the last day of work of 12/31/20.
Will use 60 days grace period to stay in US.

Question:
Is he still eligible to apply for adjustment of status within those 60 days?
Thank you very much for your time.

The person is technically speaking out of status during those 60 days grace period and is therefore not eligible to file for an adjustment of status if they have no status to adjust from to start with. The 60 days grace period simply mean they’re not accruing an illegal presence during the grace period.

Thank you very much for your explanation. Just to confirm, if we had H1B,(not E-2) then 60 days grace period NOT considered out of status. Right?
