DV 2022 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

Hi
I received this as an attachment from KCC today (I also received my payment receipt in mail). Is this pictured document considered as my 2NL?

Thank you

Hey guys,

I've actually discovered this forum after I've filed my DV I-485, but wanted to do part in contributing to the community as it seems like even though everyone's case is unique, there are some commonalities like no one on the spreadsheet with San Antonio FO assignment has received their interview notice myself included (March 2 Chicago lockbox delivery date). I have updated the spreadsheet to reflect the info about my case. Looking forward to going through this together.
I have played this lottery for 13 years in a row and apparently 13th is my lucky charm. Hopefully, this wasn't for nothing as I have my asylum pending case for over 6 years now.

hi all

I am thinking about contacting my congressman as my case has been quiet for a while and my J-1 visa expires September 4. I did my bio on May 5th and haven't heard anything since. I will give it some more time but wouldn't mind getting the right information already. my question is; do I contact the congressman that's responsible for my district (based on my address), or the one that's responsible for the district where the USCIS office where I have to do my interview is located?

thanks!

Contact the one where you live.

If you don’t mind sharing, did you have to apply for the J1 waiver? Or were you not subjected to the 212 rule?
 
Bio walk-in experience at East Hartford, CT: me and my friend went there at around 3:15pm. The first time I went in and I explained the reason why I wanna do it early, they didn’t let me in and asked me to come back the day of my appointment. but when I came back a second time,(only 5 minutes later) they did it for me. But they said “if anything happens we don’t take the responsibility, because we don’t do walkins, only appointment.. “Which makes me worried what could go wrong... They took the appointment notice and passport. i forgot to put in the worksheet on the 2nd pg but I don’t think they checked, they asked me about my DOB, height, weight. They took two headshots, fingerprint and my signature. The whole process took about 10 minutes, the place was empty and there were only three staffs there.
 
Hi Mum,

In 2020 when I lost my job due to covid I applied for a B2 visa internally (adjustment of status from E3), around 5 months later (before it was approved, though they note you can stay in the country legally while its being reviewed by USCIS) I left the country to get a new E3. Due to leaving the country the request for adjustment of status was denied since leaving the country automatically became moot. Should I include all this documentation in my AOS package?

Thank you!

While you were awaiting the change of status* to B2 decision, were you still in the US after the authorized stay in your initial E3 ended?


(*fyi: change from one non immigrant status to another is “change of status”, not “adjustment of status” which solely refers to adjusting to LPR status.)

You can just plan on taking those along to your interview and present them if required.

p.s. you did not apply for a B2 visa internally, USCIS does not issue visas, only an embassy/consulate can do that. You applied for a change of status.

Am a little worried that they stayed after i94 expiry and were out of status, and not being approved for COS means that status was never reinstated so the overstay was never cleared. Would not be the first person to confuse “not accruing unlawful presence” with “being in lawful status”. This would still count as a bar to adjustment from my understanding?

Yes you are correct with that observation, most people do not seem to realize not accruing an unlawful presence on the basis of having a pending application is not the same as being in a lawful status once the period of authorized stay expires. I’m however not focusing on it as the IO may decide to overlook out of status portion in OP’s case on the basis of a technical violation resulting from inaction of USCIS - slim but possible chance. Which is why I recommended OP consider taking the documents related to that filing to their interview as against including them in the AOS package.
 
My case has been ready for interview scheduling for almost 1 month at what point does one send an enquiry to USCIS. Tried checking with Emma too nothing has been set. Anyone else who has a similar situation

My status changed after six weeks to interview is scheduled. And then the interview date was 8 weeks after that. All the best!

How do you check with Emma if anything’s been sent yet? Is it through virtual or a real agent?
 
Hello,
Is there a way to find out how many visas are remaining?

and @dv2022user looks like you're the only one who completed the interview at the Chicago FO, would you mind sharing your interview experience?
 
Hi all.

I am happy to report I got my green card.

Unfortunately, the card came with the last letter of my first name missing (I have a very long first name) so I wrote to USCIS about the topographical error and they instructed me to fill a I-90 form to have the card replaced. I have already done that and in the notice I got from USCIS for my I-90 it says next steps is for USCIS to schedule my Bio, albeit I just did my Bio less than 6 months ago for the GC. Should I try to contact USCIS again or the notice I got is just a standard one for people filing I-90 form?

Thanks!

PS my timeline is updated and I strongly encourage the entire community to post their timelines, this was immensely helpful for me in the process.
