DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

Hi,
I am a F1 student. My case becomes current in march. If my parents transfer the necessary fund to my bank account, is it enough to show financial stability of not becoming state burden? Or is an I 134 still necessary?

Yes, you can have multiple AOS applications in the system at the same time, it is allowed. I can’t tell you which could be the best and clear option for you, I really don’t know the full details of your personal situations (and I would rather not get into those). But I do know in general, a DV based AOS application is the most cost effective and fastest means of getting a GC without any external strings attached, so to say. Of course in your specific case, your pending EB1 based AOS application could get approved earlier seeing its already in the system.

Thank you so much @Sm1smom.

Given that our number is EU34xxx, should we wait until our number becomes current before starting AOS process ? What should be our starting signal based on your experience?

Thank you.

Having an I134 is recommended.

I suggest you go through the AOS Process Spreadsheet where the step by step process has been laid out. I can’t tell you when to do what, you however can take a look at previous years’ VBs, they may help you plan your moves.

No, we are not but if you look at our data on the timeline sheet we are at the same pace. He is in New York, I believe.

When I talked to Emma they said that your case has been in Kansas City, MO FO since 11/18/2022. I heard that the Kansas City office is not busy and they schedule very quickly; however, they have proven vice versa so far. When I analyze DV 2022 timeline sheet, I feel like last year there were more interview notices till this time of 2022-2023 than this year.

Hi Hamo, Yes, I was looking at the same pace of our applications so far. As @Sm1smom says it is very unlikely this is not happening just by chance.
@Sm1smom am I understanding correctly that NY FO "accumulates" DV before starting interviews? Is there a risk they will be very late and the fiscal year will end before they process all of them (especially for who filed at the beginning of the fiscal year (in my case in November).

Thank you for your explanation.
Best,
N.

Yes, the NY FO has a tendency of batching (accumulating) DV based applications together and scheduling the interview around the same time. And no, they do not wait until the FY is over before doing so. They are aware of the impact of the FY on DV cases, and they do take that into consideration.
 
Hi mom,
Should I provide all the address which I stayed since my first arrival to the US? ( I mean for 8 months I was in hotel, my friend house and then rent a flat).
Should I need to write in details all my friend houses address and hotel as well?
Thank you

Hi,

Today I received a notification with a reference number indicating that my case was accepted. I created an account to see my current status. In the case history tab, it says that the fingerprint fee was received 3 days ago, however, the amount hasn't been cleared from my banking account or at least I can't see it in my online banking.
1. Can I assume that my check has been cashed?

Also, the case status says "Your case status is unavailable at this time".
2. Is it common to see?

Hi Mom,

I put the package in the mail for the Dallas lockbox on 02/02/2023. How long does it take to receive, and how do I know the lockbox is accepted my package?

Thank you.

I don't know the mailing option you used, I don't know where your package is coming from, so I can't tell you how long it may take for the Lockbox to receive your package. If you included the G1145 E-Notification form with your package, you will receive a text or email notification after your package has been officially accepted by the Lockbox. If you did not include the form, then you will have to wait until they send you the acceptance notice by mail. If you take a look at the Timeline spreadsheet though, you'll get an idea of how long on average it's taken others to receive their notifications following package delivery.
 
I need some help regarding my current DV case. I am yet to go through Biometric or and interview. I have submitted my I-485 application and received the letter of acceptance as well. Surprisngly, I received an email from IO from my local USCIS office indicating that he had not gotten my KCC file and as such he cannot continue working on my I-485 application. I reached out to KCC requesting that my file be transferred to USCIS however I got a reply from KCC indicating that since I opted for adjustment of Status, USCIS needs to continue with my case. At this point I am getting a bit worried because the IO said he isn't allowed to hold on the I485 application for a long time. Any suggestions will be appreciated

The IO is supposed to request the KCC file directly from KCC, did he already send them the request? The IO sounds like he may not be quite familiar with DV based AOS cases - one thing is certain, he cannot deny your application while the KCC file is pending. Ask the IO if they already contacted KCC to request the file. Also continue to follow up with the KCC by requesting they send your KCC file to your FO. You can include the email from your IO to KCC when making the request.

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?

Hi, they just sent my receipt after one month since I send the payment. There is only a stamp saying paid. Is this how it is supposed to look like?

Thanks for taking the time to reply my message. In his first correspondence, the IO indicated that he reached out to KCC however he did not reach any satisfaction (his own words, I am guessing that means he did not hear back). However his second correspondence was that he was not allowed to reach out to KCC, but I can reach out to them. That informed my first correspondence to KCC requesting that my KCC file be transferred to mu local uscis office only to be told that since I adjusting status in US, KCC cannot continue to process my file and that USCIS has to continue. This morning, I recent KCC an email and I included the correspondence from the IO. I am waiting to see if I get any better response. I guess I will keep doing this till the IO gets the KCC file to continue my case. My worry is that I have not even received BM appointment and yet I am facing KCC transfer issues.
