@Nicdep Can you please elaborate on your wife's status when you were working on AOS? Did your wife change the status from J-1 to H1B after submitting DS-260 and/or I-485?
Thank you for this advice! If I even didn’t send the I-134 form with my I-485 form, is it still ok to bring it with me to the interview?
Please take a look at the Timeline spreadsheet to get an idea of how long on average it has taken others.
Yup. That is why it is a 'backup plan'.
Hello Houston,
we never submitted DS-260, since it was optional we did not do it. We still received 2NL after we paid the fee.
I'm sorry I'm unable to suggest documents you may need in support of your expedite request. I do not know the basis or the criteria used for your expedite request submission. The response you received included the criteria used for expedite requests, so depending on which of those criteria was used for your request, you need to send in corresponding supporting documents for it.
sorry, i was editing the original post with the reason - to Tier 2 officer we had mentioned that DV based cased has 30th Sept 2023 deadline and need to go through expedited processing.
Thank you for your reply. I finally received the SASE
!
First of all, DV based applications already get expedited as it is - they jump the normal processing queue/time frame - because USCIS is already aware of the sunset clause tied to them. In addition, DV cases do not meet the officially listed reasons for submitting an expedite request. These are the precise reasons I’ve never recommended a DV based AOS applicant submit an expedite request - I go through this every year.
It has been approved on May 19
While it is possible to contact the call center and request a reschedule, you should avoid rescheduling the interview appointment whenever possible as it is never advisable.
Not something I would recommend doing considering there’s no telling how soon the rescheduling request will be processed. You could end up being rescheduled for October or way beyond which will lead to case denial due to the FY being over.
Thanks mom. I didn’t realized, there was specific category it will go while talking about my case to the tier2 officer. I was hoping it will nudge the FO. I was not expecting to receive this email. Should i simply ignore the mail for documents. Will it have any impact on my usual processing?
No impact on the regular processing if you fail to respond to with the required documents - the expedite request will basically get denied eventually. You can also respond with an explanation stating the reason for the expedite request even if it does not fit into any of the listed criteria, the expedite request will get denied in that case also, I believe.
Hey, have you sent the AOS package? Even if we didn't send I-134 form, can we still take it to the interview? Also, do we need the sponsor payslip? The section Supporting Evidence for Form I-485 of USCIS is asking for these documents which doesn't include I134 formThank you for this advice! If I even didn’t send the I-134 form with my I-485 form, is it still ok to bring it with me to the interview?
