DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

1. Yes, like a correction that she notified us about, but I think I’ve missed it cause I was very sleepy. My wife told me it was there. There is indeed no such section, my wife is not sure where it was, but probably around “Recent immigration history”
2. 03/31/2022
3. L1
4. That makes it 1 year.

On a side (and very important) note our online statuses have changed to “New card is being produced”. Does that mean that our cases have been approved? I can’t believe it has been that fast. Actually just called USCIS hotline and they’ve told me that it does not necessarily mean that my case has been approved and that they can’t see if it’s approved or not and told me to watch out for an approval notice in the mail.
You can ignore what the USCIS rep told you. CPO is an indication of case approval (of course nothing is certain until the actual GC is received, but usually there’s nothing to worry about from this stage).

And the responses to my questions are no longer relevant also.

p.s. remember to update the Timeline spreadsheet.
 
I wasn't complaining about this forum - sorry you read it that way. I was merely venting about this AOS process.
I did not read your post that way, that is exactly how it came across considering this is one forum where we discuss DV based AOS process, I’m not sure precisely where it is we’re supposed to be more honest with informing people about how horrible the process is. Venting about the process is one thing, stating we need to be more honest with informing people about the process being horrible is indicative of people being misled IMO.

Thank you, that's great news!
This forum has been extremely helpful in this arduous process. Thank you mom and everyone else.
I'll keep updating the spreadsheet when I get new status changes.

Also, I think you were right about the reason for the review: I told the IO I work as a contractor for a different company (as a representative of my actual company) and I think the IO wanted to make sure I did not violate my L1 status this way.
 
Hi @Sm1smom,

Today I received a reply from the congressman's office. They received the following information from USCIS regarding my case: "Thanks for your web inquiry regarding your constituent’s pending I-485, Application to Register for Permanent Residence. The constituent’s application is currently being reviewed by an Officer. He will be notified of any actions taken on the case." What do you interpret from this information? Should I expect a decision letter soon in the mail?? Thank you so much for all the help!

It means their aware of your application and it is still pending. Being reviewed could mean your background check clearance is still pending like I said before

Thank you! That means I could do nothing at this point and should keep waiting, right?
 
Hi,
Yes i did AOS
My I-765 case showed july 20th "case closed benefit received by other means" and my lawyer called Uscis office but they said system down and they were trying to fix the system then my case showed today again "case was reopened for reconsideration" and we called them again and they said they ,system still down they are trying to fix the system . 2 hours later my case showed again "case closed benefit received by other means" so i think something problem with they system because they supervisor gonna call us because in many cases like me, they said that is the problem. I really dont understand anything and i dont have any approved EAD card. My I-485 online statu still showing "case was updated to show fingerprints were taken "

Hi ,
New update on my case ... my I-765 case changed to "case was reopened" . I totally dont understand anything . Do someone know something wrong with my case? Because my I-485 still same . Anyone else having this problem?
It has to do with a system glitch like they already told you and your lawyer, nothing specific to your case. There are other folks equally reporting the same or similar updates for their I-765.
 
Thank you! That means I could do nothing at this point and should keep waiting, right?
There's really nothing you can do to move the case forward if the delay is background check related. USCIS is aware of the time crunch associated with DV based AOS applications, and they often try to expedite and resolve (on their own) cases stuck on AP as the FY end approaches.

You can email KCC and request they email back a copy of your payment receipt. They may or may not respond accordingly.

Again, I cannot predict if you will be able to finish the process before the end of the FY year or not.

How can i provide copy of chashed payment?
And did you file i-485 without the receipt?
1- if u sent a cashiers check from your bank you can ask your bank for the copy of the cashed payment , if you did a money order from usps you can go there and ask them for it. ((((the copy of the cashed payment should be cashed and stamped from the back))))
2- i didn’t provide my receipt bc the kcc they took a long time to send my receipt (about two months)
 
Today my family ( my spouse and two kids) and I had interview and now status for all of us changed to New Card Is Being Produced. I would like to say billions thanks to mom who helped me a lot throughout this process. I know this process was more complicated and hard to proceed without getting support and advise from mom. Here is my time line from Los Angeles:
May 31th : AOS packages were delivered
July 11th :Fingerprints were taken
July 15th : IL were received
July 25th: Interview were taken
July 25th: status online changed to 'New card is being produced'

I wish every one have this status as soon as possible.
Mom thanks again for your kind support. This world needs more people like you: kind, supportive and thoughtful
