Getting ready for the interview and have a question about finance. My wife (main applicant) is on an F-1 visa, I'm on F-2. We were never authorized to work in the US and never filed any tax returns. Our latest bank statement is about $20k (slightly above the poverty line for LA County). How likely it is we will be considered a potential public charge?

Is it normal that they say that they need to check if visas are still available?
I mean in May already?
Hi , I wass wondering if i use my EAD based on AOS of lottery and if my case doesn't get processed by NOV and I use my EAD card. Can i still filled another 485 based on something else and be good with that EAD?
Remember that the limit is 30th September and also, remember that with EAD you are breaking your status, so if your I-485 is denied you have to leave as soon as possible.

Yes it is normal. They have no way of knowing until they actually make the request for the visa. Completely normal.

If your DV based AOS application does not get adjudicated by the end of the FY, the DV AOS based EAD card automatically becomes invalid from that moment. Your eligibility to file some other form of AOS application after using AOS based application depends on your status prior to using that EAD. If it was a dual intent status, you may be able to roll back to that status. Any other status is gone once you use the AOS based EAD card.

There is nothing strange about your case being “stuck” while others seem to be approved on the spot. Take a look at line 48 of the “AOS FAQs” tab of the AOS process spreadsheet.

Another question, @Sm1smom
In case the DV visa is not adjudicated by the end of the FY, and provided that I do not use EAD card and stay put with my employer, my NIV will still be valid, is that correct?
What in case no DV visa available by the time of my interview? Also in that case, my current visa will be valid?

1. Correct.
2. I don’t quite understand your next set of questions.

Take a look at the “AOS FAQs” section of the AOS process spreadsheet. Case rejection and case denial due to early filing are have been thoroughly explained there.
In my interview document, they do not ask for any financial documents. they only asked for documents establishing the eligibility for LPR status, birth certificates, marriages certificate, and travel documents. I assume that I get to interview exactly what is requested in this document, right?

Lying on a form and to an officer is a red flag. It may not be reason to deny the case (unless the officer decides to formally classify it as wilful misrepresentation), but it’s certainly enough for them to wonder what she’s trying to hide and dig deeper. From what you say it sounds like she did actually remember and knowingly lied? Why?

I think what you are asking is: if you haven’t used DV-based EAD and have not violated your existing status, can you continue on that status if you are not successful getting a DV? The answer is yes.

Don’t assume. Best thing you can do for yourself is to attend your interview fully prepared with everything and anything you can think of that could help your case regardless of what the IL says. It wouldn’t cost you anything to attend the interview with additional documents which you already have and are not listed on the IL, right?

Hello, everyone!
I have some concerns in my case!
I came In the US on B2 and file for asylum 2 months later before way before my authorization to stay (6 months) expired.
Now I just got married to a US citizen and send send my AOS, I did send all information about the asylum case when sending the AOS.
I just saw that I’m a 2023 dv lottery winner 5 days ago.
So my questions are:
1. Is it normal that my asylum case is still pending and not closed at this point?
2. When filled for this AOS base on dv regarding my cases how should I proceed to remain things right?
3. People living in the US already should just start the process of AOS or wait for the VB!?
Thanks, all reply are appreciated!

1. Why would your asylum case be closed?
2 and 3, and your previous question, please carefully read the spreadsheet linked in first post of this thread.
I could not agree more.

Hello,
I saw that some people walked in to do their biometrics before the scheduled date like two weeks before. Will it fasten the process? Also, are we suppose to walk in without letting them know or are we suppose to call them beforehand. Just wondering how to go about it.
