I don’t know. I don’t want to speculate considering this is a new form. Maybe they will invited for an interview and be given an opportunity to update their form. We’ll just have to wait and see

Oh no, I didnt noticed these discussions and wrote "No" though I have included I-134 in support ...

Your relative is right, your chargeability country should have been listed as Uzbekistan. Your country of residence or your citizenship country has no bearing on the entry form. You're however fortunate as both countries are within the EU region, so you shouldn't have an issue with that error (IMO) as long as your file based on the Uzbekistan cut-off number and not based on the rest of Europe since Uzbekistan is in the except category while Azerbaijan is not.

Hi Mom,

In one of your responses you talked about using "N/A" in the preparer and the interpreter part. I'm the one who filled out the form 1-485. Should leave the preparer and interpreter part blank or fill it with "N/A".
 
Dear Mom,

1-Should I include eDV Lottery initial registration confirmation copy with the AOS package? I have included the winning notification letter.
2-My daughter sent the signed (by ink) I-485 form via email. Can I include a copy of the I-485, or do they require an original signed I-485?

Thank You.

After my previous posts in response to your questions, it occurred to me that I needed to provide further clarification as you obviously can’t read my mind :)

Yes, it could be argued that you did gain an unfair advantage with your selection being chargeable to Azerbaijan, which is not limited or in the exemption category compared Uzbekistan. If you were processing CP, I would have said the possibility of being denied was super high since the COs tend to be more knowledgeable about DV requirements compared to the IOs who adjudicate DV based AOS applications. For most those IOs, their DV requirements knowledge is not quite deep, most tend to have a loose interpretation of the requirements, so you do stand a greater chance of being approved. And by following the Uzbekistan cutoff compared to the rest of the EU region, (like I recommended), should the case of having gained an unfair advantage come up, you can arguably counter by stating you tried to rectify that by following the Uzbekistan cutoff ranking before filing for AOS. So hope this helps.

1. Yes you can, wouldn’t hurt to do so.
2. My recommendation would be the original form with the wet signature itself.

One more question. Will I be able to claim country of chargeability Georgia (same region) if my parents and my husbands parents were born there . Note both of our parents deceased but . I have proof of their birth place .

You cannot simply “claim” Georgia in this case. What you’re asking about is cross chargeability to a parent or spouse’s birth country which is done during the registration period for the purpose of selecting the chargeability country.

Good afternoon.

We didn't know that after filling in the DS-260 in May (as soon as the results were in) that my daughter shouldn't have left the country. We went to Europe in June and back to Australia in December. We entered the country again on 27th December. We had no problems with either entry. Now, however, her package is pretty much ready to file but should we be waiting the 60 days before I send in the package. So not sending in before 27th February to overcome the "accusation of immigrant intent".

Does this only apply to entering the US on your visa for the first time. She's an O-3 visa and we've been here consistently for 6 and a half years only going back to Australia for short visits? Does it still apply?

Kindest regards

Waiting 60 days before filing for AOS does not necessarily overcome harboring a presumed immigrant intent prior to being admitted into the US. While immigrant intent is determined at the POE, the IO adjudicating the AOS application will take into consideration the totality of the circumstance before applying a charge of presumed immigrant intent. So go ahead and file if your CN is current.
 
Dear Mom.
