DV 2024 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

[dmitrirom]

Hello everyone,
I want to that this forum again for being a great help for DV AOSers.

I've got one more question:

My DV-2024 GC has been approved on 9/26 (my card show this date in "resident since").

My company filed my L-1B visa extension petition earlier in September, but receipt notice for the shows 9/27 receipt date for I-129, I-907 and I-539 for dependents. Today I've got and e-mail from my employer's lawyer that my I-129 has been approved yesterday 10/8 extending validity of my L-1B status to January 2027. Will this compromise my LPR status anyhow? I expected that my pending L-1B extension petition will be automatically denied once I become LPR...

Tell the lawyer that you don’t need it anymore as you have lpr status and let them deal with it. Your employer should ask for a copy of your green card to verify your authorized employment status.

You need to inform your employer and their lawyers of your new LPR status. They can in turn formally reach out to USCIS for the now invalid L1 extension to be cancelled.

Thank you! I informed them already last week and provided copies of our GCs last Friday, and lawyers told me that they are going to withdraw L1 extension petition, however the approval happened sooner. Ok, I'll reach out to them again!

Mine is a similar case. L1 A extension was on the card and then I informed about change in stats to LPR. They asked a for a copy for their record, but said that USCIS knows the status change and hence extension petition is no longer valid.

Here's what attorney replied to my request: "No issues with the below here. Your green card status will trump your NIV status, and you hold lawful LPR status. The below case should have been denied by the officer, but there are no issues with the approval. No further action is required."

Oh dear! I’m sorry to learn of this outcome and thanks for responding with the update.

Best of luck with the pending asylum application.

Mom, I found one attorney who said he had one case only a few years ago that got approved after the deadline with filing a motion. Even though he is honest and saying that chances are very very low of approval, still the hope dies last. I have time till October 18th to file a motion. I haven't found anyone who got approved after the deadline with filing a motion, but as you helped and guided many people with DV cases, I would like to ask you if you have ever seen such a person who got approved after the deadline with filing a motion? Is it worth to give the last shot? Thanks in advance! God bless you and your family!

In MHO, that lawyer only wants to make a quick buck off of you. Case can no longer be issued with a visa even if the lawyer wins the MTR. I’ve never heard or read of any such approval.

To be blunt, I do not believe him. By law no applications can be granted after fiscal year end. There would need to have been errors both by the uscis office reviewing it and by the system that issues visa numbers from KCC - not gonna happen. Ask him if he will take the case for you on a contingency basis. Then you’ll only pay him if you get the green card.

Hi Mom,

I just received a letter from USCIS stating that my application has been denied. There are several parts of the letter meant for applicants with certain conditions, but as you know, I’m still on F1 status, and my I-20 hasn’t expired yet. Some people have told me that if the I-485 is denied, we might have to leave the U.S. I just wanted to check with you for clarification on whether I need to take any action at this point.

Also, could you please clarify the highlighted part for me??

I'm sorry you did not make it through, that's sad. The below snippet from your denial letter is directly applicable to you, it clearly says you're authorized to remain in the US since your non immigrant status has not expired. You're not required to depart from the US. As for the highlighted portion, it's just basically saying you do not have any other AOS application in the system which might have been used in approving your application in place of denying it like they had to, since your FY was over.

They’re just saying they don’t have the option of there being a visa numbers available in another category for you - some people have more than one application going for different types of immigrant visas/green card categories .

Thanks, Mom!
Is the phrase “any further extension” referring to OPT or CPT?

Any type of approved extension.

How did your case end? Did you make it through?

Hi mom, as we guessed our files exhausted,
Just today we got our denial letter by mail that explained the reason of denial,
In this letter they mentioned that we can request for reconsideration via form I-290B, can it do any positive for us?
Can we have any chance by hiring a lawyer?

I'm sorry to learn your case got denied. What was given as the reason for the denial, was it based on the FY being over? The denial letter stating you may file a motion for reconsideration is standard wording in any issued denial notice, it does not mean it is specific to your case, or that it will lead to a different outcome if you choose to file the motion. Hiring a lawyer will not overturn the decision either, the applicable FY is over.

Hi @Sm1smom , Just a Quick question regarding my case was reopening that I just got on my mail. I didn't file anything after the denial. Is it possible to reconsideration.? Please see below...

I wouldn’t hold my breath on any form of reconsideration because by law, the application can no longer be approved since your applicable FY is already over.

Hi @Sm1smom

I just happened to check myuscis account and I saw a weird update on my application.

I already received my grrencard early September however there is an update on my case saying:

August 30, 2024

Card Was Returned To USCIS​

On August 30, 2024, the Post Office returned your new card for Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSCXXXXX, to us. We mailed your card to the address you gave us, but the Post Office could not deliver it. The tracking number assigned is XXXXXXXX. You can use your tracking number at www.USPS.com in the Quick Tools Track a Package section. We will destroy your new card if we do not receive an address update by November 20, 2024.

Should I be worried?
This case number is the one I received my GC with. As you may remember, I had made another application due to denial for early filing which still shows fingerprints were taken but that has another case number.

You can ignore the update if you already received your GC.
