DV 2021 AOS Only

yes I have read and am aware of that. I never thought it was an official USCIS document. I am asking whether it contains instructions specific to DV applicants (because the official USCIS instructions are not only for DV specific applicants). There's a lot on there to sift through there so if I just follow the ones on the spreadsheet then am I good to go?

I would follow both the instructions for the I485 and the instructions on the spreadsheet, and if you think that there's a discrepancy, ask your question here for clarification.

See what @raphael1899 said ^^^ above.

Plus what I previously posted:
You are ultimately responsible for the success or otherwise of your own petition!!!

From "public charge" point of view, if you can demonstrate that your salary alone meets the applicable poverty guideline level, this should not matter. A good amount of savings in your account would strengthen your application.

What visa type do you have? Since you were on her visa, make sure you are still authorized to work. Others may better guide you on this.

Thank you! My wife has an E3 visa and I'm on the E3D for spouses through her. My work authorization is valid through November.

Not familiar with E3 but are you sure you’re still valid? Usually the dependent status ends if the principal is on a work visa and loses their job (iow not maintaining status), regardless the expiry date on the EAD. Possibly some different angle on the E3 i don’t know about though.

Edit: from Penn: “They (E3D) are valid for any kind of full-time or part-time employment for the period stated on the card as long as the E-3 employee is maintaining status.” Everything else indicates that E3 status ends when paid employment ends. Unless I misunderstood what you said about your wife losing her job, this could be an issue for you guys. If you have been working without being authorized to you will not be able to adjust status.
Edit 2: reading back it’s not clear from what you said if she has actually lost her job or if it is hypothetical, can you clarify?

Hi mom,

I received the acceptance text from USCIS. But my spouse did not receive anything. However, I got two messages with two receipt numbers.

1) Are these two receipt numbers for me and my spouse?
2) If yes, can we open two online USCIS accounts for we two using these two receipt numbers?

Thank you so much
 
I just noticed pending payments on my credit card: 2x $1225. Me & my wife.
I'm so excited because my package arrived in Chicago Lockbox on 6/7! Which is less than 2 weeks.

Now fingers crossed for getting the approval text/email. Thanks Mom for your help!

Your question was already answered above. I want to add that if you stop working before going out of status (hence you don't have the inadmissibility issue as stated above), I believe since you already have submitted your AOS package, you can stay in the US (on your savings) until your case has been adjudicated. However, if your case is not approved, you will have no status to fall back to.

1. Yes - only one person receives all the notifications.
2. Yes.
 
Hi Mom,

If I am on an E3 visa (now expired) would I need to fill out the i508 form? On the spreadsheet it mentions 'additional form for some E visa/status holder only' so I wasn't sure about this one.

Is it Australian E3? What is your current status?
 
My AOS package was delivered by Fedex in a small box to the Chicago lockbox and signed for by J Harper on 2nd June 2021. I've still not received any news on acceptance or payment for $1225 being cashed. From the sheet it looks like others who's packages reached after me already received acceptances. I'm starting to get worried - are there any suggestions on anything else I can do to see what's going on?
 
Hi there!

if my interview isn’t conducted before September 30th will I lose the whole thing?

my fingerprint fee was accepted in February and still haven’t heard anything from USCIS since then… I’m a very worried.

The only thing I did get was the purple letter request for the medical record back in late April. But nothing after….

that are my options? Can I expedite this process without the fingerprints being taken?
