I'm really sorry, that's hard news to swallow about the FO batching them up considering your CN became current in January.
DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only
- Thread starter Sm1smom
- Start date
Sorry mate. I am also Brooklyn FO so I can understand you. What do you mean she didn't respond? were you just ignored? Also did they mention when you might hear back?
She wasn’t aware of the quota it seems, she looked at me like she didn’t understand what I meant, later she said FY will be over September 30th and they have 120 days to response. That was it, the interview was ended after this conversation.

I had something like that too. But that`s actually due to connection problems. If my attorney wasn`t there, IO wouldn`t try to connect to IVAMS Web. We pushed IO and he connected to the internet. Then tried to request a visa from DOS. Then it said "disapproved". Then he looked at the regional numbers. Then he read the screen "region numbers were not available". Then my attorney talked with the supervisor. Supervisor said "he will check the system again this week". But from there, my prediction is it`s at this point impossible for DOS to put new numbers. Because unlike employment-based and family-based numerically controlled visas, applicant cannot be eligible after September 30th.

Your friend, which Field Office please? Did she wait a long time to hear from them after biometrics?
Louisville, Kentucky field office. I will ask about biometrics
So, today I went for my interview. the lady was very nice, but from beginning she knew about the visa exhaustion, as they have received the email yesterday.
she said my case is fine, she already reviewed it, and she could have approved it, but she cannot.
She said there is nothing on her power that she can do at this point.
I am really really sorry for all the rest of us who put so much effort, spent so much money and have had high hopes.
I know God has plans if we could see the bigger image, and I know that when a door closes another one will open sooner or later.
Thank you mom for your genuine help and anyway I am grateful o get To know here and be guided.
Peace,

So sorry. Thanks for the update and best of luck moving forward.
How was your interview? Everything went well? I don’t understand why Brooklyn FO didn’t approve your case since it was on September 1st.
yeah everything was okay. went well. pretty standard questions that were on the form. she just said she couldn't give the result on that day but it will be adjudicated before end of fiscal year
I don’t really know what to say or think about our field office anymore.yeah everything was okay. went well. pretty standard questions that were on the form. she just said she couldn't give the result on that day but it will be adjudicated before end of fiscal year

Mine was batched like that. Current in June and ended up with Sept 2 interview. They shouldn't do that, but hopefully this year will teach them.

I'd like to see an update on this. $5 says the IO didn't try to draw the visa from IVAMS

OP has strangely not confirmed if their friend’s online status corroborates the said approval which we’re guessing was a verbal approval which we already know means nothing.
I hope they will learn something from their mistakes and won’t repeat it again for future applicants. The process entirely is overwhelming yet some FO’s make it worse.

Filled Ds 260 form online for dv lottery 2023 with no UCIS interview scheduled, can I go to my home country for J1 visa renewa.
I am in USA in J1 physician visa with 2 year home country work requirement. My name was selected in DV lottery visa 2023 . I applied Ds 260 online form but I got to know that J1 are not eligible for Status change in USA through UCIS . So for J1 you need to renew it every year if you go to your home country. So will this DS 260 form will effect my J1 renew considering I just fill Ds 260 without any further work up for interview or anything.

It is not true that J1 is not eligible for AOS. Even with a pending 2YHRR, provided they’re able to obtain a waiver of no objection, J1s are eligible to file for AOS.
Now to answer your question, you demonstrated an immigrant intent with the DS260 submission, this may come up when you apply to renew your J1. You’ll need to be prepared to demonstrate the expressed immigrant intent no longer exists and that you plan on departing from the US at the end of your program. I cannot tell you if you should go home or not, you’ll need to make that decision on your own.
