DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

SusieQQQ said:
I’d forgotten about a previous b visa being CWOP when I got it renewed and also answered no. It wasn’t a problem. You can mention it in your interview and they can correct it then. While i agree with mom that technically the answer is yes, given the context of the question I think they are actually concerned with visas being cancelled for “bad” reasons.

DS260 may not be “necessary“ for AOS, but once you’ve submitted it it is a permanent part of your immigration record.

I've made the same mistake and answered "no" my DS-260 has not been processed yet, so I can unlock it. Do you think it's a good idea or leave it as it is

Thanks
 
Plus one question regarding DV Adjustment of Status Payment ($330) - for the family of 3 it is better to put the whole family on one wording just adding lines of Selectees Names or 3 separate slips plus check. Thank you

KCC does not process the DS260 form for selectees processing AOS. However, it wouldn't hurt to unlock and correct the information, (regardless of if the DS260 has been processed or not) like Susie already stated, the DS260 is a permanent part of your immigration record.

For a family of 3, there is only one selectee. The other 2 family members are derivatives, and there is no requirement to list out the names of the derivatives on the payment slip/form. Only the main selectee's information is required to be listed. Don't create unnecessary confusion for your case by adding additional lines for non-requested information. Only one payment slip/form is required to be submitted with the full payment ($330 x 3) for all 3 family members.
 
Hello! I’ve a question about the check to pay the Dv lottery fee of $330.

This is a check sample I found online, but what should I write on the check for number 1,2,4 (in green) for DV based AOS case ? Please ?
Much appreciating your help

I had my Bio scheduled for Oct 15 and walked in on Oct 3. However, I'm gonna exchange to London for a semester leaving on Jan 20.
1. Is it still possible to get an AP right now? My i485 package got delivered on Sep 9 so should I send everything again plus the i131?
2. If I'm lucky enough to get my interview approved before January. Can I still travel and have them send my green card to London?
Thanks a lot

Looks like there is very little chance of you getting AP before January. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
impossible to know when your interview might be
is going on exchange next year more important than getting a green card?

1. You may be able to send an expedite request for the AP if you have extenuating circumstances like family emergency which requires you to leave the US while your AOS application is pending. I do not think needing to leave on an exchange/study abroad program qualifies as extenuating circumstance though. Seeing as you’re asking about sending everything again (not sure why you think you may need to re-send “everything”), did you not include the I-131 form with your AOS package? Did you just find out about the study abroad opportunity?
2. No, the GC will not get sent anywhere else outside of your listed US address.

p.s. do add your storyline to the 2023 Timeline spreadsheet where it is a lot more useful and for easier tracking than on this thread where it will soon get lost and buried.

Thanks, Simon for the reply. I've added my case to the timeline. I didn't aware AP is necessary when I sent out the package and know it recently. Am I allowed to travel right after the interview and have my friend mail the GC to my foreign address if I don't have AP?

If you travel at any point while your AOS application is pending without an approved AP card on hand, your application will be deemed abandoned (even if the interview had already taken place at that point) and subsequently denied.

Considering most AOS applicants seem to only have a few days between interview and getting their green cards, seems to me you should be more worried about your general interview timing than this. How flexible is your semester abroad? How late can you go before cancelling /postponing it? Is it worth potentially losing a green card for? These are the questions imo that you should be focusing on.
 
its been 2 months since I sent my dv fee ($330), and I still did not recieve my receipt, but the money order has been cashed. What should I do ?

Did you include a self addressed stamped envelope with your money order?
