When I had interview, I received this letter with the marked 1st box, because officer asked me to bring a new copy of my birth certificate. The official translator made a mistake in the issuing date of my birth certificate (not date of birth) and I was not aware of this mistake until the IO saw that. I immediately send the documents to an official translator in my country and asked to correct the mistake in 10 minutes. Then made a copy and return it back to the officer with this letter. I received the approval notice at the next 5 hour.

This is like asking why do some FOs waive DV interviews and others do not. Each FO has the prerogative of managing cases as they deem fit.

DS 260 form Question:
I am the DV2024 principal applicant, and my name shows correctly in the Summary Information!
However, my wife's name shows her first name and last name in reverse in the summary information, but we can edit the corrected name in the ds260 form.
Question:
1. Should I add another applicant for my wife with the correct first name and last name in order, or I can submit this DS260 form with the current situation? Will this affect my wife's DV green card process?
Thank you so much!

Post your questions on the 2024 Thread please. And if you're processing CP, be sure to post the question on the CP thread.

Hello everyone,
I want to keep you updated
Thankfully, we made it after the AOS payment ,we decided to switch from AOS to CP as my husband had his interview in Kuwait on June 8 but he was under administrative processing for a month then he got his visa, we transferred the case from Kuwait to Cairo in order for the beneficiaries “us” to get interviewed. Luckily the US embassy in Cairo was very cooperative and accepted our transfer. On July 12 our case was transferred and an interview was scheduled for the beneficiaries on August 8. We went and had our interview on 8/8 at the same day our visas were issued and we got our passport yesterday.
Thank you all for your help especially @Sm1smom @Britsimon Marek Clefs xarthius @mohammedm

This is truly great news! Congratulations and thank you for returning to the forum to provide this wonderful update.
Those two cases are not assigned to the same ASC as me, but I checked all the cases and those assigned to New York - so I assume my same ASC - received the Bio Notice at the latest in 11 days (those in Brooklyn in 7 days and those in Queens in 4 days). Tomorrow will be 11 days since I received the NOA, so I will try to talk with a Tier 2 agent hoping to have good news.
In the meantime, do you have any information about my FO (like the ones you have for the Brooklyn, NY FO)?
Thank you
Also if I did start the process now, is there any quicker way to get the $330 fee payment receipt? Or would I send in the documents without that?

In terms of processing time, probably not too late. In terms of visa exhaustion, possibly too late.
1. None that I know of.
2. You could do that as long as you’re aware of the implications of doing that. So I recommend you go through the FAQ section of the AOS Process Spreadsheet first.

My interview was two days ago at the San Francisco Field Office.
Just Checked My Status:
On August 11, 2023, we approved your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number.
Thank you to Mom and everyone here for all the support. These months were very hectic and I'm glad it's finally coming to an end.

Congratulations.
We had our interview this morning at the LA FO. We arrived 2hrs earlier expecting a long wait at security but the place was almost deserted. Took only a few minutes to get through.
Our IO was nice and very chill. He checked our ID, confirmed our address and place of birth, then ran through the typical yes/no questions. Didn't ask to see any of our original documents (birth and marriage certificates, education etc), even though we did have them with us. He said that our case was reasonably straight forward and that he didn't see any reason why it wouldn't be approved. Told us that he just had to run a few things through the system after we leave but to expect an update within a couple of weeks. Interview probably only lasted 10 mins.
I logged in to check our case an hour later and the status had changed to 'New card is being produced'.
Big thank you especially @Sm1smom, but also @Britsimon and @Xarthisius for offering their time and expertise, as well as providing all of these amazing resources......for free! I'm not sure how anyone could get through this process without them.

Don’t forget to keep updating the Timeline spreadsheet as you continue to cross the finish lines. Both currently pending and future AOSers will benefit from the information.We had our interview this morning at the LA FO.

Hi @Sm1smom,
I noticed another case in the timeline sheet in the same Providence FO as mine. That case also has no update after biometrics (the case was filed one month later than mine, though). Do you think this could be the FO issue rather than a particular case? I couldn't figure out why it is taking so long than I was expecting. In your experience, what do you think is the reason behind the delay? I appreciate the help you guys are providing in this forum.

Yeah, the delay could be FO related. Some FOs prefer to wait towards the end of the FY before processing DV cases.
