DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

Hello mum,
Today I got an email from FO that my expedite request was denied and next week I will get an answer for my congressional inquiry ( 30 days ends in 08/16).
1. What is my next option if I don't get a favorable answer from my congressman?

You keep waiting while keeping your fingers crossed and hoping to get a positive response soon after.

This is great news. Congratulations and thanks for the update. Did you have any other status outside of your asylum pending one? And was the asylum case discussed during your interview?

Do keep us updated on the FTJ progress/outcome.

Thank You soo much.
I only had my asylum pending status only
The interview lasted 5-10minutes. I was asked only the I-485 questions. The Asylum case was NOT discussed
IO emphasized that my FTJ would take place once am approved. I will make an aggressive follow up with the consulate from next week.

You were quite fortunate considering some of the other folks with asylum pending status already got denied.

Congratulations on your new status. I tried to lookup your name on timeline spreadsheet to check the timeline but couldn’t find. It would help us if you could update.
 
Hi Mom, i received a white slip after my interview. My officer has marked first 2 boxes and verbally said everything looks good after the interview. She also said “if she needs anything else she will mail us but so far everything looks good”. My status hasn’t been changed yet. It still shows “fingerprint has been taken” on case status online. I don’t know if this is a good sign or bad.

Hi Mom and Reeta,

I had my interview in SF today as well. Officer gave me this letter as well at the end of the interview. I had the first box marked. She said they'll send me a letter in the mail if they need anything from me. My case status hasn't updated online either.

The interviewing officer was also telling me that I didn't file my case properly. She had no idea about the early filing policy. Hopefully, this won't be an issue in my case. I guess we just have to wait.

Yeah. Interview was very simple. No questions about asylum. She only asked questions related to i485.

There’s no way to tell if it is a good or bad sign. You’ll just have to wait and see.

Like the post I just responded to above, if you take a look at the Timeline spreadsheet, you’ll notice a couple of other cases from your FO, who filed before you, are equally still waiting for their next updates, you’re not the only one waiting for this from the Brooklyn, NY FO. Your FO unfortunately seems to be bunching up DV cases and waiting towards the end of the FY before adjudicating them - they’ve done exactly this same thing in the past.

Hi @Sm1smom,

I checked the timeline and I am the only one who is still waiting for the biometrics letter :(. Two people have a payment cash date on July 25 (mine is July 24) and received the letter on August 1 and August 4. I am extremely worried but don't know what to do. I just tried to ask Emma but the conversation with the live agent suddenly stopped due to a system error and it seems that the system is currently down.
What do you suggest I do? Call USCIS or the NBC?

Also, based on my zip code, my FO seems to be the Jacob Javits Federal Building. Do you have any information about it (like you have for the Brooklyn, NY FO)?

Thank you

Are those two cases assigned to the same ASC as you? You can't simply go by the dates payment got cashed. NBC schedules bio appointments based on ASC workload. There's no way to directly reach the NBC. All calls go to the USCIS 1800 number. You can call to find out if the agents are able to see if your bio has been scheduled.

If you take a look at the Timeline spreadsheet, you should be able to see other cases assigned to the same FO as you, New York, NY - you can compare their Timeline to yours to get an insight into how your FO operates.
