DV 2024 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

Thanks so much, card was mailed to me on the 27, that is Friday, when do you think i should be expecting it, my mail box is not qualified for informed delivery, and have asked Emma, Emma too cant provide the number
Those cards usually come in priority mail/express so usually it should only take 2-3 business days from my prior experience with EAD card and on the informed delivery it said something like uscis Corbin facility for my EAD card.

Informed delivery is set up online, if you havent set up your informed delivery, then you will just have to wait for it. And be patient!
 
I stopped checking after 6pm (PST) and then after 9pm I checked again to find out “new card is being produced” what a roller coaster. So grateful for this, thank you to all in this forum! (I will update my timeline) Still in disbelief that this is an actual approval haha
Wow, this is awesome. Congrats! Your case is so unbelievable.
 
You do realize you most likely wouldn’t know about the folks you referenced in your above post if they decided to not list their case progress on the Timeline spreadsheet same way you’re not listed? This forum works better when everyone contributes as against just consuming information.
hey joy nisaindie kiasi nataka ku AOS
Yes it is normal, if you had your SSN originally issued prior to becoming a LPR. If you want a SSN card without the DHS restrictions written on it, you’ll need to visit your nearest SSA office with your GC to apply for a replacement SSN card.
 
Hello!
My status shows "case was approved" today, but we had the "we ordered your new card" on Sep. 24th and "we approved your form..." on Sep 27th. Is this normal to have multiple approved notices?

I am wondering the same! Got the "case approved" notice today... little worried since its Oct 1.
 
Hi everybody and thank you so much for the useful information. I'm struggling to decide whether it would make more sense for me to process through AOS or CP, so I'm hoping that I can get some thoughts from the experts @Britsimon and @Sm1smom here. I hope that these questions are not too bothersome, I know that in the end it's all a personal decision but hopefully your insight helps me out.

I'm leaning more towards taking the CP path because it seems like a more straightforward path, puts less pressure on my side in terms of doing paperwork, makes me less dependent on my job (what if I'm very unlucky and I loose my job before the interview for whatever reason?) and my company allows me to work remotely from Spain so having to leave the country for a few months wouldn't be a problem in my case. Now, my main concerns regarding taking this path are:

1- Is there a higher risk of not getting scheduled an interview if I choose the CP option? I'm kind of confused regarding what option is faster and I'm concerned of choosing the wrong option and hinder my chances. I have a CN relatively high (EU28XXX) and a delay in the processing might mean not getting the GC. My main worry is to be in a situation where my CN becomes current in June/July and then be frustrated because things take too long. Any recommendations regarding this?
2- Is it too late to take the CP path already? I haven't submitted my DS-260 yet for different reasons so I'm wondering if at this point it would just make more sense to do it through AOS.
3- If I choose the CP path, is there a way to reach the Embassy (after my CN becomes current) to make sure that my case gets scheduled sooner than latter? (I would be processing through the Embassy in Madrid).
4- Do you know how long would I have to stay out of the US if I choose this path? Is this a matter of a 1 or 2 months or could this take more than 6 months?
5- I see in the spreadsheet that I could be found inadmissible back into the US if the AP doesn't get cleared before the end of FY. I'm not sure if I understand this; would this apply to dual-intent visas as well?

Thank you so much in advance for your help and sorry for the long post. I hope that these questions can help others in the future too.
I'd recommend writing in the DV-2025 AOS forum as DV-2024 is over.
 
Congratulations for everyone. Today I get my SSN. My case was approved in 09/25 and the start day for my new one was 09/26. My question My new SSN looks the same like my old one and said the only valid with dhs authorization. Is this normal????

Did you go to SSA to update your status? I guess that's a rhetorical question at this point... Wait till you have your GC, go to SSA, update your status. Then they'll send you a proper SSN card without any annotations.
