DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

Hi. I have observed that whenever I enter my USCIS account, I do not see any information anymore. Previously, it was showing me my case's latest update and the case history. But now, it only shows my receipt number without any lastest status info or the case history tab.

1. Is this normal or it is just me?

2. And also does it mean anything like my account has been locked?

Thanks

Hi @eeerdogdu,

What's the ticket you created on USCIS website? And how did you create it?
I tried several times to talk to a live agent through Emma. I typed Infopass and talked to Tier 1 agents asking to be called by a Tier 2 call but they always denied my request. I even called USCIS but I never get through the automated voice assistance system.
What specifically did you say (word for word please if you remember them) to the Tier 1 agent to get you added to the list and receive a call?
I'm also still waiting for bio and interview appointments...

I explained that I am eligible through lottery so I have limited time left. I was saying number of days left for processing and appointments. Then asked if I can talk to Tier 2.
When you call you should say Infopass again and if it does not automatically connect to real agent, ask to talk to real agent. I did these as far as I remember. I got a verification code for my request as to be used when i'm called. I didn't get any call but i got email last week stating that code. An expedite request is submitted and they guarantee the case will be processed in the time that I mentioned. I think they are aware already and will prioritize our cases.

Mine is the same since they updated the webpage. I don’t think it is something that we should worry about.
 
Hello mum,
This morning I got an appointment to visit my fo next Tuesday because my grandpa just passed away and I need to get a travel document to be able to travel abroad. and in the afternoon, I got an email from the congressmen with my interview letter scheduled on 09/15. I just read that if I used this travel document and if I don't get my greencard by the end of the fiscal year I will lose my student status.
1. Can I show up to the appointment Monday and ask to be interviewed instead of the 09/15 since I already have an appointment?

Sorry to learn of your grandpa's passing, condolence to you and your family. Yes it is true, if you depart from the US and return on AP, you will not be readmitted into your current F1 status, you will be paroled in. And if your AOS application gets denied for some reason (or is not adjudicated by COB 8/30, you will have no fall back status in that case.

Yes, you can explain your situation when you get to the FO on Friday and politely request if they will be willing to interview you on the spot. So go well prepared for the possibility of that happening. Hopefully you get interviewed and approved right away, in which case you can request for an I-551 stamp (temporary GC) which you can safely use to return to the US.
 
Hi @Sm1smom ,

Today, our case status has been changed to New Card Is Being Produced. Special thanks to mom and all the forum members. Your guidance and provided information were invaluable throughout the whole process. For all other forum members who are waiting for their decision, all the best and good luck!! Don't lose hope.

This is great news. Providence FO came through without an interview! Congratulations.
 
I refiled my AOS package and was delivered to the Elgin lockbox on August 24. Is there anything I can do to request them to proceed with my application as early as possible?

Hey Mum,
I tried to look on the forum for someone else who successfully got his interview on the spot through the infopass but I didn't find any. Can you share some experiences with me for the previous applicants so I could get an idea about what to except

Not really at this point.

p.s. I noticed neither your first attempt nor the current one is listed on the Timeline spreadsheet. It would be helpful if you could add both to the spreadsheet. Others/future AOSers could benefit from your experience.

None reported for this year. We've had a couple of such reports in the past. There's really nothing major to share. The applicant goes to the FO for case follow-up, and gets asked if they're ready to be interviewed. Fortunately, the applicants went in prepared, got interviewed and subsequently got approved.
 
Hi Mom, so I had my interview yesterday. The lady was very sweet. And the interview was so quick!!! She basically just confirmed details from I-485 and asked to see my birth certificate and Bachelors degree. Then she said she would do a security check and update my file online. I checked my case status online 15 minutes later and it said card is being produced. I have checked the status multiple times since then as it just doesnt seem real lol. I'll believe it when I have a physical copy of the card in the mail hahaha.

Thank you for your help and this site!

I have a question about my husbands case which was initially rejected for forgetting to sign the application form. His money order was cashed last Thursday 24th August. Do you think his case will happen before September 30th? Especially now since mine was approved? Is he allowed to drop out as an international student yet? He will continue his study but doesnt want to be in the 11 week program that is specifically for international students and charged at a way higher rate than for residents. Fall semester started yesterday and he has one week to un-enrol before he is charged. They dont offer any sort of refund of course for international students. What do you advise?

Congratulations and thanks for the update. Did you inform the IO about your husband's case?

I wouldn't recommend your husband intentionally fall out of status at this point. Yes, I understand the associated cost of remaining in F1 status at this point with the potential of becoming a LPR shortly after the un-enrolment window closes is quite a lot. Your approval does not automatically guarantee his approval, so if he falls out of status now and his AOS application ends up not being approved before the end of the FY, you do realize he will need to depart from the US as a result? You will not be able to sponsor him while he is OOS as the OOS is not forgiven/overlooked for the non-USC spouses.
 
I just received my card in the mail. I greatly appreciate you @Sm1smom and every other persons that updates the cases on the spreadsheet. It helps a lot to know you aren’t alone with your issues. I have duly updated my case on the spreadsheet. I wish everyone the best as they continue to await good news. Nashville field office put me through a long wait but they finally came through.
