DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

Is your life insurance set up in such a way that you can withdraw from to help sustain you if you suddenly fall on hard times? I personally wouldn’t list a life insurance as an asset for immigration purpose for that reason. You can list whatever you feel will could help you overcome the public charge perception as long as you have the required documents to back up whatever you’ve listed. So my summarized response to your questions is to use your discretion.

Yes, I can withdraw the money whenever I want, and I can download the bank statement from my bank and include it in the package. The problem is that is not clear the amount of money will could help me to overcome the public charge perception... $30.000? $50.000? $100.000? In some cases it is difficult to use my discretion.

And I have one more question:
I took a look at the "AOS Package" tab of the AOS Process Spreadsheet and in the Educational Degree section it says: copy of high school certificate and copy of any other diplomas or certificates. Since I have a Master's Degree, do I still have to include my high school diploma in the package? Considering that I would not have been able to attend University without a high school diploma and that in the I-485 form the question is What is the highest degree or level of school you have completed, I don't think it is necessary.
 
I just wanted to confirm the postal address for sending AOS package.

Is it
'USCIS Dallas Lockbox
U.S. Postal Service (USPS):
USCIS
Attn: AOS
P.O. Box 650288
Dallas, TX 75265-0288''
 
Hello Everyone! My current is in July. Do I need to send it on the 1st of July, or I can do it on the 30th, so USCIS will get this on the next working day? Will it be considered as an early filing if I send this on 30th for overnight package?

Thanks!

1. I cannot give you a specific amount you can use in demonstrating you're unlikely to become a public charge, which is why I typically recommend for a selectee with no current or ongoing income to consider finding someone to provide them with an I-134. Other than that, you'll still have to use your own discretion in this case (like some selectees have done), hard as it may be for you.
2. Include whatever you deem necessary.

p.s. there are instances where it is indeed possible to gain college/university admission and attend accordingly without a HS diploma.

If your CN is current in July and your package is received at the Lockbox on July 1st, or any day after, it will not be considered as early filing regardless of when the package got mailed.
 
Hi Mum,

I got an RFE in the mail today. They said I need to do the hepatitis B vaccine but according to what I've read, I'm too old for that as the range is birth to 18 years old. What do I do?

Not sure where you read that from, Hep B is not 0-18 years only, Hep A is the one in that category. So you need to comply with the RFE.

OK. It's unclear from the RFE if I will need to redo all the medicals as well. Would I need to find a civil surgeon and just get the hep B vaccine or redo everything? Also, I'm in New York now and no longer in LA. Can I go to a different civil surgeon?

I cannot comment on what you need to do based on the limited information provided. I will need to see the entire RFE in order to come up with any meaningful/useful response.
 
I can't send the RFE here. How can I share it with you?
Another pertinent question: I see the RFE is from the Los Angeles County Field Office. Should I change my address back to my LA address? I still live there some of the year.
 
Hi,
My case number has not yet been current as of august 2023. but it is very close to the cutting numbers. so it would probabely becomes current if they announce new numbers for September.
However, since i only have september, do you recommend me to stay in the process of AOS or go with KCC appointments?
I have already paid the 330 fee and completed my medical and other forms,
however I am still hesitating whether waiting for embassy call would be a better chance or risk early filing with the new visa bulletin?
Both decisions are so risky at this time.

I'm sorry I have no recommendation, like I previously pointed out to you back in May, I believe. Make your own decision and decide on which option you deem less risky for you.

What would be your embassy if you were to do CP?

The good news is your RFE does not expect you to re-do the entire medical exam - the RFE clearly states that. It gives you the option of going back to your CS or visiting a new CS to get the Part 10 Vaccination Record portion of the I-693 completed once you've obtained the Hep B shot (which you can get administered anywhere of your choosing).

Personally, I would recommend the option of going back to your original CS to get the report updated (following the administration of the shot, or obtain the shot from them if you prefer), as against visiting a new CS who may decide to charge more for simply completing the vaccination record. Using the same CS creates less complication IMO.

Since the RFE is from the LA FO, this means your AOS application is still with the LA FO, all the more reason why I personally will make the effort of going back to LA to get the vaccination record updated there. You can update your address back to LA. Personally, I will not mess around with any more address change at this point, so as to not create any further potential needless case adjudication complication at this point. You however should be prepared to demonstrate you're still based in LA should the question of your current address come up if or when you get called in for your interview.

Since I am on F1 visa I am a little worried about travelling outside united States for an immigration interview.
Also, it is really not a promise if the embassy send me out interview appointmet, right?
However, inside US,, the process might be lenghty and also there are risks of rejection of my file if i wish to go with early filing.
Are these assumptions correct?

1. There's no guarantee a CP interview will be scheduled if the embassy has no capacity to accommodate your case and if KCC is yet to process your DS260 form if you decide to go with CP - an interview letter will not be sent in that case.
2. Yes, there's a slight possibility of case rejection due to early filing - most folks however have been lucky enough to not experience a case rejection due to early filing. I recommend you go through the FAQ section of the AOS Process Spreadsheet.
 
Thank you

dear Mom ,
Thank you for your response.
One more question, when I first came to US i took my driving license in WA, but now I am residing in California as for my education ,
So, My residence address would be WA or CA in this case? Does it even matter?

Also, I received a letter from KCC with and attached letter notifying me that they are aware that I want to do my adjustment inside US. Is this the 2nL that I should include in my package?
