DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

Hi @Sm1smom,

sorry, I tried to find answer in the thread but couldn't find anything related to my question.

Should I answer "yes" in I-485 on question "Have you ever applied for an immigrant visa..." if I submitted DS-260 with AOS option before?

Thank you!

The “full” question is asking about if you’ve ever applied for an immigrant visa at a US embassy or consulate abroad - answer NO if you’ve never done that.
 
Hi Sm1smom,

I decided to go with the money order option to pay the AOS fee. The money order requires the address for the U.S. department of homeland security. I live in Colorado and I will send the AOS package to the USCIS Phoenix Lockbox. Is the address on the money order the same address for the lockbox?

U.S. Postal Service (USPS):
USCIS
Attn: AOS
P.O. Box 20500
Phoenix, AZ 85036-0500

FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries:
USCIS
Attn: AOS (Box 20500)
1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S
Suite 100
Phoenix, AZ 85034-4850

Thanks,
Hi Rise_Above did you got your receipt after filing Aos ?
 
Hi @Sm1smom
Thank you for the previous help I appreciate you so much and God bless you.

I was trying to fill this out and I was wondering what to say on the Applicant interview part ?

Thank you

Thank you for answering my prior questions :) You are truly a savior!

I had another question; I saw the spreadsheet examples on how to organize the package for submission, but I was wondering if I need to also somehow mark the envelope with AOS through DV? Has anyone else done this or know if it is necessary/how to do it? I see a lot of lawyer websites online suggest this.

I don’t quite understand what you mean about “what to say on the Applicant interview part”. However, I suggest you take a look at the “AOS Package” tab of the AOS Process Spreadsheet, there’s a link to a prefilled sample I-485 which can be used for reference on how to fill the form.

Not necessary IMHO, you however can do that if you like.
 
I still didn't get any reply. now almost 5 days. What is the mean of rejection and denial? Thank you.
So BE PATIENT! 5 days is too short to be stressing about not getting any update following package delivery. Take a look at the “AOS FAQ” section of the AOS Process Spreadsheet for an explanation of the difference between a rejection and a denial.

Hi everyone! I have been reading this thread from page 1 and I noticed some people mention EADs but I was not clear if we need to report them somewhere in the AOS package? I got an EAD from an OPT right at the same time that I got my H1B so I never really used the EAD. Should I report it somewhere in the I-485 or other documents? Thank you!
 
Thank you so much for your response, that makes a lot of sense! I should add some more information as well. I already sent my application package to USCIS at the beginning of February (knowing my number would be current in March) and they rejected it unfortunately saying I should apply only when the number is current. So I am going to resubmit. My question is:

1. Do I use the documents they sent me back (my original submission, which they have added a scanned number at the bottom/some other hand written notes) or do I create a completely new packet from scratch and send that?
2. Whether I do the former or the latter above, with the rejection notice, I also received the attached letter that asks me to put this with the resubmission. Should I put this letter in?
3. Should I put in the resubmission the I-797C rejection notice + other rejection materials they sent to me (i.e. a letter explaining the rejection in detail?). Should this also be part of my cover letter explanation?
4. And finally, in my original packet I had I-134. Is it ok if I do not put it now with the new packet? Or should I put it provided they may have already scanned it?

Thank you again!

OP I just want to confirm, your application at lockbox was erroneously rejected even though you were eligible to apply under the early filing memo?
