DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

Hi mom

DV 2023 selectee here, AF52XXX, living in LA on F-1 OPT which will be valid through the FY2023 deadline. Thanks for all the useful information and responses (I've now scoured the threads, materials, data, by britsimonsays and xarthisius too). I know it's too early to tell much on case numbers etc but seems certain I'm not getting called up in 2022.

I read on the AOS spreadsheet where it says that "most, if not all DV AOS cases get adjudicated before the end of the FY". I know you've seen AOS cases approved with late filing dates (some exceptionally even in September), and I've seen some AF50k cases approved that only became current in August (2018).

Question: is it your experience that even high case numbers that become current later in the calendar year of the deadline still get AOS adjudication? Just trying to assess whether the DV AOS's adjudication rate is still good for higher (later) cases.

Thanks again! All the info saved me from filing DS260/paying DV fee prematurely.

Go to the first post on page one of this thread, it has the link to the AOS Process Spreadsheet - that is a tool that tells you the A-Z of what a DV based AOS process involves. There are several tabs on that spreadsheet, I recommend you carefully go through each one of them. If you have follow up questions after going through that spreadsheet, then come back and post them here on this thread for further assistance.

DV based AOS applications go through an expedited process, compared to other types of AOS applications. You and your son should go through the AOS process spreadsheet linked to the first post on page one of this thread to enhance your understanding of the steps involved and the process in general. Then post follow up questions you may have after going through the spreadsheet.

Thank you so much. I will go through the spreadsheets and raise queries, if any
 
Will submit an i131 after the i485 package was sent a month ago slow down my schedule for an interview/ review of my application?
I plan to request an expedited review at the FO after i131 through infopass.

Curious as to what the rationale for an expedite just 3 weeks into the fiscal year is?

i131 is processed independently of the i485.

Filing an I-131 after sending in the I-485 application will not slow down the AOS processing. However, I doubt an expedite request for the I-131 will be approved (assuming you can even secure an INFOPASS appointment in the first place), considering needing to leave the US for the purpose of attending a study abroad program in London is not an emergency travel you need to undertake while your AOS application is pending. But like Susie already noted, filing an expedite request is free, so by all means, you can try filing one.
 
Hey,
I want to apply to DV-24 and I read in the requirements that I need a new picture. Any idea about where I could take this picture and get it degitally? I checked CVS and Walgreens but they provide just a printed passport picture.
Thank you

Maybe just scan that? Do you have a phone or digital camera? Maybe ask FedEx?

Thank you, Simon. For the class of admission on i131, I think I should still put F1 instead of DV is that correct?
 
I forgot to stamp my self addressed return envelope while paying my diversity fee. What options do I have to be able to receive the payment receipt ?
 
I sent my DS 260 in July 19 but still haven't received my 2NL, does it have anything to do with me not paying for the DV fee yet and if no. What do you suggest i do?

No, it does not have anything to do with the pending DV fee payment. In addition to the information previously provided here, I suggest you take a look at the AOS FAQ section of the AOS process spreadsheet for additional information regarding the 2NL.
