DV 2024 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

Thank you, @Sm1smom, for being so supportive of us. My GC journey came to an end on September 14, 2024, when I received the denial letter because of the RFE for the waiver of my J1 visa 2-year residency. I just recently got a favorable recommendation for the waiver to be granted from the Department of States. The Department of States has forwarded that to USCIS. I am looking forward to the final decision from USCIS on the approval of the J1 waiver, but I can't tell much about the GC since the FY is over.

I appreciate everyone that has been supportive of me on this journey. I hope those of you with your current GC are enjoying your status. Thankfully, I still have my F1 visa. Quick one, has there been a situation where someone received a GC even after the FY after their J1 visa waiver is approved?
 
Quick question.
Are any medical insurance cost deductions considered Public Charge? For example state programs such as LA care. Is it legal for an LPR to receive discounts or new insurance picking up past bills from previous insurance. Thank you.
 
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...
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone,

Looks like this story didn't come to the end.

Earlier my company lawyer told me that: "Your green card status will trump your NIV status, and you hold lawful LPR status. The L-1B extension case should have been denied by the officer, but there are no issues with the approval. No further action is required."

Today my family and I went to the SSA office to remove work authorization restrictions from our SSN cards. And there I've learned that my immigration status is not "LPR" in their system. My wife's and daughter's verification went through with no issues. They held my application for closer review, took copies of my documents (passport and green card) and told me to wait 6 weeks for the resolution.

I think my visa extension approval mixed up my official immigration status. Because earlier, when we changed our driver's licenses, my wife got her license extended till her birthday in 2028, and mine was extended exactly for 2 years (same date with extended L-1B validity).

I guess, at this point I need to just stay calm and wait to hear back from SSA (?).

This is precisely why I've always recommended for folks to formally withdraw any other pending application following AOS approval. Failure to do so and subsequent approval of that other application tends to create a quite a big mess in the system. Your company lawyers were quite lazy by not following up on the withdrawal of the L1B extension request, especially considering the official filing date was listed as after your AOS application had already been approved. I would recommend working on reaching USCIS on your own to verify your status and address any lingering issues that may still be in the system.

Hello everyone
I received my greencard from DV process. I did file together with my husband . So we both received GC at the same time. But after 2 months uscis asked our GC back saying there is mistake on it. The mistake was on category. It should have been DV6 and DV7 since we did AOS inside US on category but our GC had DV1 and DV2. So we fill up I90 form(application to replace) its been already 3 months and on my uscis account it shows 35 months processing time. We have to travel abroad soon so we applied for Adit stamp. Will there be any problem traveling on adit stamp?

There hasn't been an issue traveling with ADT stamp in the past. However, it's a toss up with this new administration in terms of what may or may not happen. If you must travel, be sure to take along any and all documents you can lay your hands on to demonstrate you've always maintained a valid status as a non-immigrant, prior to getting your LPR status. Also be sure to take along copies of the your I-90 application, the NOA received for it, and the original notice letting you know there was a USCIS error on your originally issued GC.
