Hi Blade. She ended our interview saying" I am going to ask KCC your visa"

You just need to be patient for now. There's another Fairfax candidate who interviewed a couple of days after you who equally seem to be waiting. The two earlier cases from your FO that got interviewed on the same day (5/13), also both waited a while before getting approved (6/1). This shows your FO and the IO are familiar with DV based AOS application process.
 
Thanks sm1smom! I know! But this kinda limbo is horrible. We don't know if they forgot about it, FBI clearance, no visa availability. Who knows.
Again thanks!

Thank you, I am still waiting as well. Hopefully we hear an answer soon. Mine is still on fingerprint taken as well.

They obviously did not forget - that is why I provided the example of the two folks who interviewed before you. If the delay is due to FBI clearance, well there’s nothing you can do about that. And no visa availability? In July? In a year where’s been so much delay for the CP folks? Oh well! Seems like you love getting stressed and tying yourself up in knots :rolleyes:
 
As a B2 visa holder residing with family, will showing my personal bank accounts at the interview suffice, or do I necessarily need to obtain a sponsor's "note" - say i-134 or something? I did not see any FAQ on this aspect in the resource i.e Useful DV AOS Related Documents.

Hi all,

Still no interview notice so far.

Questions:

1) I am currently on F1-OPT status (working with OPT EAD) which expires the end of this year. I can apply for STEM Extension. Can the pending (or expired) DV I-485 affect my STEM OPT extension application? Should I apply for the extension ASAP?

2) My company is working on submitting PERM for me. Would the DV I-485 affect the PERM process in the future?

3) I also submitted a DS-260 for myself and my wife (Derivative). She currently is on F2 status abroad (She renewed her entry visa before we submitted the DS-260) . Is there any evidence that the DS-260 submission would affect her entry back to the USA?

Thanks! Really appreciate all your help so far.

It’s your call regarding wether you should look into getting an I-134 or stick with your personal banking financial documents which I’m guessing are drawn on your financial institutions which are outside the US.

1. It shouldn’t affect it.
2. It shouldn’t affect it.
3. Your wife is not in a F2 status if she is currently based abroad. All she has is a F2 visa, the “status” is conferred after being admitted or re-admitted to the US. Admission or re-admission to the US, (with or without a DS260 submission) is never guaranteed, it is always at the discretion of the CBP officers at the POE.
 
Good evening, today I received by mail a REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE letter. In short the letter says that the form I 693 is incomplete because I am missing the hepatitis B vaccine and I must provide a completed form I 693 with a completed vaccination record section. My question is
1. Do I have to go back to the doctor to fill out the form again? or
2. Is it enough with the vaccination record?

Your RFE says to “provide a completed form I693 with a completed vaccination record section” - I think the RFE is pretty much clear on what you’re expected to submit “a completed form I693”
 
Thanks for the quick answer but I have another question, in the very same letter says: bring the requested documentation with you to the interview that is scheduled for July 26, 2022 at 11:00 am. But I haven´t received the interview letter notification, just the bio letter.
Should I take this RFE as the interview letter notification?

If the bit of financial capacity or ability is a requirement then I will consider both. Do you think I can go ahead and present my US Bank Account statement instead of both debit and credit, and would you advise that I add my wife's statement too?

You can’t use credit card information to demonstrate you’re not likely to become a public charge - a credit card is not your personal money, it is a loan. And it’s not just a case of presenting bank account statements - it all depends on how much you have in whichever personal account you plan on declaring (and that should be a significant amount if you want to use your savings to demonstrate you’re unlikely to become a public charge).

Well advised. Thank you; also the platform name change has been duly effected by your team. I appreciate it.
 
Today I was lucky to get the "hack" with Emma work again, so I chatted with a live rep. The rep, however, was not friendly/collaborative at all. The good news is that I was able to get acknowledgment that my case is at the local FO. However, when I asked if my case had received security clearance and/or if my FO received the results of the background check they responded that I was not entitled to know that information. I feel like that cannot be true since 1) I was not asking about the actual content of the result and 2) I thought that the law grants the right to obtain results of security clearance (although I know that for employment checks - not sure if federal checks follow the same guidelines).

Q: Should I try to contact another, more collaborative agent, or am I indeed not entitled to have that information?

Some agents are more helpful than the others in general. You don't want to be known as someone who constantly tries to contact them. I personally tried to asked them no more than twice in a week. Also, at the end of the day, you can't really count on anything the live agents say, except for the date of your Interview/bio. They are known to give conflicting answers about other stuff.

The online live reps operate on the same level as the tier 1 reps on the phone. They have no access to such detailed information.
