Hi there!
do we need to pay another DV administrative fee ($330 one) or can we just use the one we have?
Here is some context.

Our first package got received and accepted by the lockbox after about 50 days. I did not include the Dv fee receipt in it because I had not received it yet atm.

later, we sent the 2nd package, thinking our first package was lost since nothing really happened for 50 days. I included the DV fee receipt in it since I already had it received. Now we asked our bank to rejectthe payment from the second package to kill it since the first is now processed.

I’m hoping I can still use my current DV receipt for the first package so I don’t have to pay twice…+ wait anxiously. Would love your thoughts!

The DV administrative fee doesn't need to be paid again.

Hello all, I see that me and my two kids are getting letters from FO today. I am feeling anxious that it could be a denial. Would they send letters to all for a denial or just main applicant ?
I want to add that there is no update online either. Praying for good news.

How did you know you getting letters?

Your bio notice was stamped to indicate you completed the bio, right? That is all you need. There's now way for you to "make sure they received your biometrics info". Just show up for your interview as scheduled, that's all.

Yes, there’s a red stamp on my bio notice, got it thanks Mom! :)
 
Hi,

Today I called USCIS to ask whether my bio has been scheduled.
That agent told me my bio has not been scheduled. He then ask for my phone number and email and told that I will I receive a call from USCIS then can ask for a bio schedule. He also gave me a verification code.

1) I think the call that is about to receive is from tier 2 agent. Am I correct?
2) I got an email from the USCIS as shown in the screen shot. As he gave me a verification code I don't have an idea whether the agent will call me in 72 hrs or in 20 days. Anyone has any idea?

Thank you so much.

yes, it means that a tier 2 will be calling you someday :) I got the same template response but with 14 days timeline.

Yes this if for call from a tier 2 - Most of the time they put bio requests in the not urgent category therefore itll be most likely 20 days
 
For those of you that have gotten the call back from USCIS/Tier 2 agent... is the phone number they called you from the one they mention, some 202-838-2200?
I have been getting calls from a number I don't know (I was in class and couldn't pick up, when I call back says the number is disconnected) and I worry it might be them.

Interview update (case OC3XX):

I went for my interview this morning at the Houston FO and the experience took about 45 minutes in total.

The immigration officer was nice and went through my documentation and started off asking for some missing documentation that he requested for the interview - more specifically, my education qualifications because I forgot to include it in the package and current medicals because he received it more than the 60 days from when the application was filed (so word of advice to applicants is to delay your medicals until you have an interview date!).

At the end of the process, he said everything had looked good and he needed to check with the state department for a visa number before formally approving the application. He told me to expect an approval in the afternoon and sent me home with a letter of continuance. I've just checked a few moments ago and my green card has been ordered for production!
