FO location is based on your physical location. Every major city has a FO. you can find your FO using the link below:
Compare your case to others on the Timeline Spreadsheet to get an idea of how long it takes to get the bio notice, and remain patient for yours to show up. That is what I would recommend at this point.
Mom may have a better thought on this, but if I were you, I would still wait for the medical and include it. Not sending in the medical means there is no way interview will be waived if your FO waives DV interview, or RFE being issued. Add your info in the spreadsheet.
Wait.... all applicants answer YES? Do you mean all, even if I never aplied for a benefits? Not sure I got you
Hi, your answer is incorrect. The question on the I-485 form states:
Hi, your answer is incorrect. The question on the I-485 form states:
"Are you subject to the public charge ground of inadmissibility under INA section 212(a)(4)?" This can be rephrased as: "Are you affected by the public charge rule under INA section 212(a)(4)?"
I'm not sure why you interpreted that as "Have you ever applied for government benefits?"
For more details, you can read USCIS Policy Manual, Part G, Chapter 3.B:
Chapter 3 - Applicability
In general, the public charge ground of inadmissibility at Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)www.uscis.gov
Since you haven't sent the payment to the KCC, it means you don't have the medical exam AND the receipt from the KCC, which increases the chance of receiving an RFE. While you wait for the receipt (which usually takes 1-2 weeks), you can complete the medical exam. I suggest getting all the required vaccinations before your first visit so that they can just take your blood and perform the exam. It usually takes up to 3 business days to get the blood test results. Therefore, it is feasible to complete the medical exam and get signed I-693 within one week.
Yeah, so, as per the rules for green card applicants, all must answer yes to this question and then provide the information in the I485 about household income etc. That said, I realized this myself after I made the same mistake...I'd say don't sweat it. I was concerned too about the potential outcome and it turned out for nothing because my case was approved last week and my card is being produced now. I did not even have a question about this during my interview...but I was ready nonetheless with all paperwork/justifications should the officer have any questions.
Sorry, I can only refer you again to the USCIS Policy Manual, Part G, Chapter 3.B, which states:
The interviewing officer is required to assess whether you will become a public charge (your extract here is from the instructions for consular officers). So the answer is yes, you are subject to that and it is up to the officer, not you, to determine whether or not you are likely to become a public charge.
Detailed explanation of why the correct answer to this question is YES can be found in the FAQ tab of the AOS process spreadsheet - which is the reason I keep referring folks to that spreadsheet.
While it is indeed true that the CO will have the final say when the time comes, IMHO, the boat has already sailed in terms of worrying over the possibility of not being able to renew your E3 visa at the embassy due to the DS260 submission.
Hold on to your updates, present them when you go for an interview (if required).
Hello. I sent my dv admistration fee on 30th July and on 31th they recieved it and was cashed on the 2nd august. And after that there is no update in case of envelope that used in returning the receipt. Should I wait few more days or should I email KCC for the reciept?
Email KCC.
