How is it possible that my case has not reached the threshold of where they like to come in? It has been 2 months since without any update or communication regarding my biometrics appointment with only 24 days remaining until the end of the fiscal year.

How about you google USCIS Ombudsman and look things up yourself? It's not like you need my approval or assurance in order for you to proceed with whatever you deem necessary as the next step for your case. Like I earlier noted, you can initiate all of those steps if you want to feel like you’re doing something about your case, I don't have the time to justify the whys or why nots.

It is not because I want your approval but because I trust you and, given your experience, I think following your suggestions is the best thing to do.
I'm sorry to have irritated or bothered you, I'm just very worried because my father's health condition has deteriorated and my sister is also not well, and I would like to get a green card to go back to my country and see them... Besides, if I can't get it now, I have no hope of being able to stay here... I'm just looking for help and reassurance because is not easy to be here alone in this situation.

I’m afraid the situation isn’t looking promising for you, and unfortunately cannot give you the reassurance you’re seeking, sorry to learn of your family members’ health situations. Hopefully you’ve been maintaining a valid status.

Thanks Simon. Just curious where 54833 number comes from compared to 55000?

It is a typo in true DoS dopeystyle.

The 55,000 was technically reduced by "up to" 150 visas for NACARA. In reality that program takes few or no visas each year (because the qualification period was two decades ago). So - we can essentially ignore it. But the 54,833 number makes no real sense.

I actually thought they might be looking at the number of AOS which I "expected" to be about 800 at this point (i.e. less than DV2022, more like a normal year), so maybe that number was 833 and they mentally added it to the 54000 number - who knows.

In reality Xarth scanned the data today - twice - they have blown through the cap - but since they are "warning" of cancellations I think a hard stop will come tomorrow.

When looking at the final data for FY years, are you able to tell the number of AOS cases that get approved (and in what month they are approved)?
 
Dear mom,
if in the interview they ask me about a proof that I haven't been working as an f1 visa student, What should I show them ?
I do not even have an SSN
 
Hello mom and everyone,

Today the office of the congressman forwarded me an email of IL from FO. The letter says that the interview has been scheduled for September 25. However, I am a little worried regarding the recent notice of possible visa exhaustion. So I am thinking to try walk-in ASAP. Do you think this is a good idea? I did walk-in for our biometric but I am not sure about the interview. Do you know any cases of walk-in interviews? Is there any risk?

Yeah, you can give that a shot at this point as it seems like DV2023 might be over now unfortunately. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems the visa cap for DV2023 has been exceeded already and scheduled CP interviews are being canceled.

DV2023 visas exhausted

Sadly, it looks like the government are stopping all issuances for the DV2023 program. All the visas are issued, they have actually exceeded the cap by about the same as last year – it will b…

Heartbreaking news for the rest of DV2023 applicants, sorry for DV2023 remaining selectees for not obtaining a visas and I wish to them a better chances for the next DV programs years.
 
Are there any aos denial or cancellation of interview ? This is hopeless i hope i ll get our denial letter asap. Because i have interview on 15th Sep and this is gonna be waste of time and another 350 miles. Maybe they have some "kindness" like embassies. Such a pathetic day of my life.
 
I wish I was not current so that the only lost would be 330$ KCC fee. They erroneously returned my file despite I tried to file earlier. Now I will not be able to travel out of the US, renew my visa or even apply for OPT as I have to prove thousands of reasons that I am not an "intending immigrant". Just going to defend that I did not violate any terms of F1 status during the interview. The rest is officers decision.

Yeah i agree with the "thousands reasons" part completely. Already we got our visas in many disgusting struggles and not only we lost our green cards but also we lost any future nonimmigrant visa applications.

If you’ve not violated your F1 status, you can apply for OPT when eligible to do so.

What embassy “kindness” are you alluding to?
