DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

oliaileiko said:
Good morning to everyone .
I have a quick question : we are DV Lottery winners , and we are currently in USA . We sent our AOS to USCIS almost a month ago for an early birds filling and yesterday we received back all our documents because we made a mistake in form I 601 ( vaccination waiver for our little daughter ) . Immigration officer asked us to re-fill the latest version of this form and resend all docs again . But we just noticed that envelopes with our medical exam is opened and the copy of them is stamp with a date and case number by immigration . Do we need to send this copy again but without envelope ? Or they already kept our medical in USCIS ? Or we need to go to our MD again and ask for a new copy in the envelope ? Don’t know what to do , that the only thing that we don’t know how to deal with ..
please help

No, you do not need to send back sealed medical reports. You send back the already opened medical reports as is.

p.s. for DV 2024, post additional/future comments on the 2024 AOS thread https://forums.immigration.com/threads/dv-2024-aos-adjustment-of-status-process-only.346971/

Are you a DV2023 winner? Unfortunately, the deadline for your application to be processed was September 30th. There is nothing you can do about your application at this point. Also, with the available visa's running out on early September, even if you had filled it correctly there was no chance for it to be processed in such a short time.
 
Has anyone in this group decided to file a motion to reopen or a motion to reconsider using Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion?
 
Hello Mum,
I want to apply to the dv25 but I don't know where I could get the picture inside the US? I checked with Walgreens but they just provide a printed copy.

you can google "photo studio near me".. Call them and ask if they provide digital pics. Its pretty standard practice.

You could always take the printed copy and scan it to your email address - a local library should be able to help.
Also check with Walmart.

Otherwise take the photo with your smartphone - the quality was fine for my submission.
 
Hey guys, what are the next steps after receiving greencard?
I terminated my F1 status, do I need to take another visa to travel international and enter USA?

You no longer need a visa to enter the US. All you need are your passport and your GC.
 
Hello again, thank you for this resource, I checked all the spreadsheets and just wanted to clarify a couple of things.

There is no point of sending document of AOJ before my case number becomes active?

And when it becomes active is there a difference in speed processing between online submission and sending it by mail foe early action.

Do you recommend early action overall for a DV AOJ.


Thank you in advance.

Do you think is there any chance to get a success that we reopen the case through the I-290B? My interview was Sep 7th which is exact date of visa finished, and I received denial letter on Oct 7th. I’m thinking about reopen the case, but I couldn’t see any potential reason, it might be just waste of money idk.

As a DV2024 selectee, you should be posting your questions on the DV 2024 AOS thread, and not the 2023 thread.
 
For all the DV2023 AOSers who unfortunately missed out due to visa exhaustion and are nursing the slight hope of a Hail Mary through filing an I-290B, I’m sorry to say (for the umpteenth time), you’re basically setting yourselves up for a new wave of disappointment in addition to further experiencing a waste of money and time.

Harsh as this may sound, it really is the truth! DV2023 is over and done with, you need to accept this reality and move on with your lives. If you have other means of obtaining a GC, explore those. You can also try again for DV 2025 while the registration period is still open. Above all, continue to maintain a valid status while still in the US, you never know when another AOS possibility might come along.

14 days of waiting is nothing. If you take a look at the Timeline spreadsheet, you’ll see at least one case from your FO that completed the process with a waived interview and how long the process took for them. Personally, I think requesting congressional assistance at this point is a waste of useful resources.

How i can learn performance of FOs for AOS?
 
Hi mom,
Is it true that with a GC you are required to stay within USA for at least 6 months at any particular time before departing the country?

I know you cannot stay outside the country for more than 6 months unless you file for reentry paperwork.
