DV 2024 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

[Silverwolf]

Hello again everyone, I have a quick question. I am thinking of applying for DV-2025 just in case and during the application process, I need to give the information that I gave during my last year.

Will it not override my current case number and win during DV-2024? Since I am giving the same information I am worried that it will override my current case and profile there.

Thank you in advance

Could be anywhere within a couple of days to a couple of weeks.

Update: Today I have received the txt from USCIS. I am the derivative. Waiting now for my wife - who actually won at DV - to get it too.
Ps: will update the spreadsheet when my wife gets the txt.

Thanks for the update. Only one person gets all the text updates, this could be the main selectee or the derivative.

Thank you.

I've read the spreadsheet and it says that I need to wait for my case number to be current to submit the documents, there is just a lot of information and I was confused if I can send my I-485 before and they will just schedule an interview after the case number becomes active

Maybe you need to stop over analyzing the information you’ve already been provided with and simply follow the step by step guide as laid out on the spreadsheet. If it is possible to file for AOS at anytime (as in before the CN falls under the listed cutoff numbers on the VB) and get scheduled for an interview after the CN eventually becomes current, the spreadsheet would have outrightly stated so.

Another plain example of over analyzing. Why would I tell you and several other selectees it is okay to submit an entry for DV2025 if such a submission is likely to override your current selection?

Does the civil surgeon refer to CDC Immunization document for guidance on number of doses for individual vaccinations? For covid vaccine, its pretty clear on number of doses. My question is for other vaccines given to minor kids.
Appreciate your feedback.

They’re supposed to. If your CS tells you otherwise, you show they what the CDC guidance says.

so we got 2 different receipts for the confirmation of receiving biometric fees and one receipt for the acceptance of I485.
So far one 1 check was cashed (we mailed 2, one for each envelope). Did this happened in the past too?
We are waiting for the letters from USCIS to see exactly what they say in them.
We mailed 2 yellow envelopes in a USPS cardboard box. As a derivative I have received the txts so I know they have my application and my wife who is the winner.

I’m confused by the two receipts you reported receiving above. AFAIK, only one “receipt” gets sent per case, and it will contain the information for both the AOS fee and the bio fee listed on it.

The middle one says:
“On October 16, 2023, we received your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization,“
The other 2 say:
“On November 6, 2023, we accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form 1-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number”

Okay you haven’t quite received the Receipt itself at this point. What you have from the screenshot is the acceptance text notifications with receipt numbers. You will receive two actual receipts, which is the NOA referenced in the notification text messages, one for the I-765 and one for the I-458 (which is a combination of the AOS and bio fee payments).

Now back to your original question, the above shows your AOS package has been processed and it is now in the system, even though you are the derivative. Your spouse’s own however is still pending.

Yes it is possible for your spouse’s package to get rejected and sent back (for one reason or the other while they continue processing yours for now). Hopefully that will not be the case, so for now keep checking to see if the second payment gets processed. If the package does not show up by the time your NOAs show up in the mail, and the payment equally has not been cashed at that point, then we can look into what the next step could be for you. Keep us updated.

Thank you. What happens when lets say the kids need five doses of DTAP (over span of few years) and we are expected to have couple months or year gap between the two boosters. My kids suffered allot of delay in doctor's/vaccination appointment in Canada due to Covid lockdown. We are in catchup mode currently.

Will it be acceptable that we have not received all the doses (boosters) for a vaccine (have atleast received one dosage of each vaccine)? or i cannot successfully submit the I-693 until all the boosters for all the required vaccine are given?

I had this issue with my Tdap. My CS said 3 doses of tdap are required to mark complete, so she checked on the not sufficient time box.

Thank you. Do you know what are the potential consequences if any if the CS marks "Not Sufficient Time" for certain vaccines?

I actually do not know the consequences. She told me that at least one was needed, and I took her word for it.

 

[Sm1smom]

The CS have all been instructed on how to complete the vaccine record section of the I-693, as no section on that form can be left unmarked. A vaccine should not be administered if it is not medically appropriate for the applicant because:

- It is not age appropriate to administer
- It is contraindicated for the applicant
- There is an insufficient time interval, either to administer the next dose in a vaccine series or to complete the vaccine series on the day of the immigration medical exam (an exception to this is has been COVID-19 vaccine series (for children ages 6 months to 4 years) which needs to be completed as applicable)
- It is not flu season (for the influenza vaccine).

There are no consequences for marking the form with any of the above exceptions as applicable by the CS.

ok. today we see the other check "pending" withdrawal in our online statement. No new txts. We are going to wait for the receipts and then track the case on our USCIS acct. Thank you for the clarifications again. Very Helpful!

Hello, and thank you so much for the resources here!
I won the 2024 lottery, CN EU7XXX. I've been using the process and documents spreadsheet over the past couple of months to pull together my bundle (an amazing resource), but am slightly confused over early filing.
I'm reading the memorandum again and again and think I have oversaturated my brain.
Am aware of the risks in early filing, but was hoping that I could just sense check; my number will become current in January, as of today's December bulletin.
Does this mean that I can now file? or am I missing something/totally incorrect/have confused myself?

Thank you

Yes, you may file from now if you wish to take advantage of the early filing option, as long as you're already aware potential risks associated with early filing.

Maybe consider all the other advices to add the visa buletin with your filing and the memo from 2013. Does not mean it is guaranteed to work but what if it makes a difference if you do it?
