Considering the VB shows 45,000 as the cutoff for February, and your CN is 40XXX, which is less than 45,000 (and you're not chargeable to one of the "Except" countries), that means you need to get cracking, right? You do not need to receive the 2NL before making the administrative fee payment.
Hello @sm1smon I dont know if you remember but a few weeks ago I posted about how I never received my dv fee payment receipt, and every time I email KCC I get different responses. Today a random person who has the same last name as me contacted me and showed me an email sent by KCC to him last week, with a receipt of MY payment attached, with all my information on it (name, address), but with HIS case number in the receipt instead of mine. Not sure how this happened, since we are from two different regions, and he is not even doing aos. Should I email KCC about this, or was that just a one time mistake by them?

I vaguely remember one or two similar reports in the past of KCC sending out payment receipts (with correct information though) to them - as in person A's receipt with their information and CN emailed to person B and vice versa. Yours in this case is rather strange since the payment receipt contains your information but a wrong CN. Did you include the payment form, (like the below image) which included your CN with your payment?
Yes I included it, and I also put my case number in the note section of the money order. This is strange.
Hi Mom,
I have a question about my eligibility to file AOS.
I arrived on B1/B2 (January 2018) and filed for asylum exactly after 5 months (May 2018). However USCIS sent back the asylum application with the reason- “You must provide one (1) photocopy of your completed Form I-589 and all of the supporting documents”
I re-submitted the same application with the supporting documents and received my receipt letter in the month of July 2018.
My question is
1. Will i be considered out of status because i have a receipt letter from USCIS dated 28th July 2018 even though my initial filing was within 6 months of my arrival?
2. or i’m still eligible for AOS because i filed within one year of my arrival and as per USCIS website it says - “To apply for asylum affirmatively or defensively, file a Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, within 1 year of your arrival to the United States.
Your help is highly appreciated and thank you for giving us your time.

Hmm! Very strange indeed. I think you should write the KCC and bring their attention to this, although there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t send back some nonsensical boiler plate response.
Hi mom,
I am an F1 student studying M.S. in Computer Science. In the public charge part of the I-485 form, I chose the options that reflect my income and asset (0-27000, 0-18400). I cover my tuition fee and cost of living with a student loan from outside of the U.S. Until 6 months later my graduation (December 2023) I am in the grace period. Should I include the loan amount in the secured and unsecured liabilities question even if it is not from the U.S. government? In that case, my assets and income will not be greater or equal to the loan amount. Might it be a reason for rejection as being considered suspect to the public charge in the future? I believe that my current academic experience and professional skills will be enough to find a job to start after graduation for covering my cost of living and paying the loan but it is hard to show in the form.

Hi Mom, I reached my 2NL today with an empty DV paid receipt form (screenshot attached). I forgot to attach a stamp to the self addressed return envelope. With my case number 2023AF2XXX, I submitted in December 2022 without the DV receipt, I already received my NOA and bio notice. Should I feel out this empty form that has been sent me as the DV paid fee receipt ? Or do I need to write to them asking for the receipt ? I have been sending them an email asking for the DV receipt every two weeks. Please advise.

If you had assets of value outside the US, would you or would you not have included the value in the asset section of the form? I’m guessing you would have, so same principle applies to loans outside the US.

You can’t simply fill out the form and submit it as your payment receipt, it is not a receipt if it is not stamped by KCC. You need to keep following up with KCC for the receipt.
Thanks for the answer. Do I need to include the proof of assets and liabilities in my adjustment of status file or it is not required yet with the new rule? I didn't find information about it on USCIS. My last question was about getting rejection because of the student loan. How do you see the odds for a such case?

1. You can have them handy for when you go in for your interview, there’s no requirement to include those documents (AFAIK).
2. I’m sorry I don’t do odds of approval or denial. All I can say is pertinent information should not be withhold for fear or denial. Withholding pertinent information could lead to a denial due to misrepresentation. As part of the adjudication process, IOs are required to look at the totality of an applicant’s circumstances before making a decision, the decision will not be based on a single factor.
p.s. if you have more than one question per post and wish for all to be answered, you need to number the questions.
Sorry, I'm new to the form. I didn't know I had to number the questions.
1. I will include all assets and liabilities that I have. My concern is with being rejected without an interview. I believe that if I do an interview, I can prove that I will not be the subject of the public charge. I'm in the final hiring phase of some high-tech companies and at least one will likely end up as an offer by the USCIS interview date. However, I don't know if USCIS has dismissed some cases without asking to attend the interview. If all the documents are correct, can we always get the interview?
2. This question is not related to the above topic. It is about a bank statement that is included in the spreadsheet of the AOS package. Is it only for the US bank accounts I have here or should I also send statements of my home country bank account?
Thanks for your help and time!!

Some FOs have been known to list degree evaluation requirements on the interview letter, most have not required it

1. Yes, there have been cases of denial letters being issued without an interview for things like early filing, being out of status, not meeting eligibility requirements, etc. Certainly not for being deemed a potential public charge - a RFE demonstrating one is not likely to become a public charge will be issued in that case (if they do not wish to conduct an interview).
2. US bank statements preferable.
Hi @Sm1smom !
-Does the applicant need to submit copies of expired VISAs or just the current one?
-Does the applicant need to submit copies of former I-94s (although I don't have them all) or just the current one?
-Does the applicant need to submit copies of expired EAD or just the current one?
-Do the derivatives need to submit copies of expired VISAs or just the current one?
-Do the derivatives need to submit copies of former I-94s (although I don't have them all) or just the current one?
Thanks sooo much!
