DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

mz13 said:
Hi mom. is there any tracker spreadsheet for non-DV AOS cases? I am trying to see if my FO waives interviews, but so far I could only find two cases that were scheduled in my FO from all the past DV AOS trackers.

Do you have any idea of how many non DV based AOS applications exist in general? If there are two reported cases of scheduled interview on the tracker, that means your FO does not waive DV based AOS interviews, it is really as simple as that, so no need searching all over the place for how now DV cases are treated.

Anyway, I have no idea, and I don't see the relevance of that information to DV cases. The mere fact of some FO are waiving DV based AOS interviews does not mean they do the same for non DV based cases. They're waiving those interviews because DV based cases are usually simple and straight forward, and doing so helps them better manage their workload.

Care to clarify who the "none" that did not believe you are? I was the only person that asked you in this post to back up your "there were lots of cases that were rejected for early filing" claim considering as at the time of that post, there was not a single reported DV2023 denial in this forum based on early filing. You think I'm not aware of possible case denial due to early filing, yet I put that warning all over the AOS Process Spreadsheet?

p.s. it is nice to show compassion/empathy to other people in their time of need. I find it quite distressing that your immediate response to someone whose case has just been unjustly denied was to jump on it and claim it as some sort of evidence. Your post appears as "gloating" over someone else's misfortune, just so you know.

Sorry apologize for it. No one is here to "gloating" anyone. Others were rejected and they informed me about it. They are not in this forum and do not want to share their information. It wasn't never meant to be this negative :) I didn't mean to troll or gloat to anyone. Sorry guys once again!! @Sm1smom @Diophantus
 
Hi Mom,

Thanks to the senator, I received an response from Brooklyn FO:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records confirm that Mr. Vega2000's case is currently awaiting a related alien file that is needed to proceed with the adjudication of this case. Once the related file has been received, the Brooklyn Field Office will make a determination on the I-485 application and will inform the applicant of the next action taken on his case.

I gave my bio and fingerprints at June 28th, I will open a ticket on August 28th. Yesterday I went to the FO and left an inquiry letter about my situation.

Is there anything else I can do at this point?

Thanks for your help so much again!

Glad to know you did not intend to gloat, and thank you for apologizing to the forum. The gesture is appreciated.

Yes, we know there are other DV based AOSers who are not in this forum or sharing their information in this forum, even though they are in the background consuming the information being shared in this forum. Nonetheless, it would have been more helpful if you had backed up your previous post by simply stating I know of 2, 3, 4 (or however many specific cases you know of) with X, Y, or Z FOs who either got rejected or denied due to early filing. That would have been a lot more useful, and maybe folks who fall within those same FOs would have been aware of such outcomes and would therefore not have proceeded with early filing. That is the essence of this forum, sharing useful information to help one another. Instead, you kept quiet and waited until one reported case from this forum got denied and then you came out to say "none" believed you. That is why I called out your post like I did.

Hello mom also when refilling is the only change in form I485 is to include alien number?

I cannot out-rightly say YES or NO as I'm not reviewing the I-485 from the POV of someone who is re-filling. You will need to ask about any specific section of the I-485 which you may not be clear as to the applicable answer (like you did yesterday).

I already informed you about one week ago that your FO seems to be bunching up DV based AOS applications - there are a couple of other AOSers from your FO who filed way before you did who are still waiting, not sure what else you expect me to tell you you need to do considering those folks already did everything you've done to date.
 
Hi mom, i received my interview decision today after 10 days. USCIS has denied my case on the ground of not maintaining an immigrant status and pending asylum doesn’t guarantee a status just like you explained earlier. My lawyer wants to file a motion and we will give it another shot just in case. Everybody here has been really helpful and especially you mom. Thank you for this platform where thousands have benefited and more to come. God bless you and God bless America . I’ve attached a letter just incase if anyone wants to go through and i suggest people who are in pending asylum please do not lose hope as there are cases where pending asylee with DV lottery winner has also been able to adjust status. Follow the guidelines here and give it a shot, you never know. Cheers

Hi mom! Today I recieved my bio notice, and interview notice at the same time.
1. is it normal that my interview date is the day before my scheduled bio date?
2. If I attempt to walk in bio, can I use the interview date as a reason for my attempt?

Oh dear! I'm sorry to learn of your denial and thank you for returning to update the forum as to the outcome of your case.

Best of luck with the pending asylum application!

1. Yes, that is not unusual - this is covered in the FAQ section of the AOS Process spreadsheet.
2. Yes you can.
 
One more question, the interview notice says to bring an i-864 to the interview, and I see that most people in the forum bring an i-134 instead. Is it okay if I bring an i-864 instead of the i-134? Or for DV cases you have to use an i-134?

Take a look at the "Interview Tips" sheet/tab of the AOS Process spreadsheet.

On top of each page of I485 there is alien number. Do I need to fill my alien number on each page on top?

Second since I am refilling do I also need to include my alien number both on medical form and declaration of financial support form?

Hello mom thanks for your quick response. I will include my alien number on top of I485 as well. Also I will include it in both medical and declaration of financial support form.

Because I needed to redo my medical yesterday. I dont think I can file before August 22 and I am afraid would it be significantly late given the deadline is september 30. I am hoping they will waive my biometrics.

Yes, they most likely will waive the bio appointment this time.
How long ago was your previous medical report done? And how did your legal consultation go?

I did my last medical one May,2023 but CS denied me to reissue a sealed copy so I needed to redo my medical yesterday.

You advised me to either reapply or consult with lawyer. Given the time and riskiness, I just wanted to refile my application and no lawyer consultation at this time.

Ok.

Diophantus said:
Hello @Sm1smom once I finished filling up the I485 form isn't the alien number supposed to appear on top of each page automatically? Or did I fill up the form I485 wrongfully?

Typing the A# (on page 2) at the top of the form normally gets the rest of the pages auto populated. If they’re not getting populated, you can just type them in yourself. No big deal.
