You and your spouse are both AOS applicants, you have separate AOS applications in the system. Only difference is your spouse is the DV selectee.

Yes i got it Mom. But the form has a column beneficiary, who should i write there?

If there’s no beneficiary, there’s nothing to write in the column.
This is kinda discouraging. Seemingly, they're confirming that representative cannot fast-track on case.
Let us wait

I don’t think anyone in this forum ever said congressional reps can fast-track cases in the first place.

Congratulations. Such great news. Thanks for letting us know of your approval.
It would be nice if you could add your case details to the Timeline spreadsheet to enable fellow selectees processing AOS benefit from it.
Hi team, yesterday I received a USPS informed delivery notice with an image of a letter from USCIS New York (Federal Plaza). The envelope was hand written. The letter never arrived. Any ideas how to trace the letter and/or who wrote it. I completed my bios last month and so expect it is related to an interview. Anyone had any experience with receiving a similar letter from the FO?

Hi, I’m a DV24 selectee. I think that’s your interview letter. I also got mine from Federal Plaza last year. Sometimes informed delivery mail arrives a day later than mentioned. Fingers crossed you get it today because you need it for the interview.

Hey, I understand how easy it is to think of the worst case scenario. But for you, there’s still time to remain hopeful. My CN was EU21k and it went current in July of last year. There were also a lot of approvals here in the last 2-3 months of the fiscal year since FOs tend to pick up speed toward the end of it. Best of luck!
Didn’t arrive. For the Bio appointment, both me and my attorney received the appointment letter. Does anyone know if the interview letter is sent to both? Thanks

Sometimes.
You should receive the acceptance letter in a few weeks. Usually less than a month.
Hi all,
Interview letter received for appointment on 04/11/2025, added to sheet!
Both my spouse and I received letters on the same day.
Both letters only had the two sheets in them:
- Main page with (what looks to be) standard checklist of "items to bring", and date/time of appointment
- Second page stapled to first page, with a few sentences finishing the text from the first page, also appears to be standard
Nothing in the checklist looks to be specific to our case and looks standard.
Neither of our envelopes contained additional pieces of paper. I assume any additional RFE for bringing to the interview would be on a separate printed page?
Other than the docs in the "Interview Tips" spreadsheet, am I correct in assuming that this is all we need seeing as there wasn't a separate piece of paper requesting any new info?
Thank you very much!

Did your status change before receiving the letter?
No it didn’t, myUSCIS still looks like this:
- Biometrics received fingerprints taken (Oct)
- Case was received (Oct)
And that’s it. I was able to see the letters through Informed Delivery which was extremely useful.

Take along anything else you can think of that could be helpful to your case. Being over prepared wouldn’t hurt.

I have a question about maintaining F-1 status: So my friends are getting married and they've asked me to officiate their wedding (I said yes, I'm happy for them and honored to be asked to officiate). I'll need to get ordained and report it on the I-485 which also requires me to describe my relationship with the org. I'm wondering if the CO will interpret this as work and therefore a violation of my F-1 status. I won't be paid, I won't get any benefits (accommodation, flight tickets, etc.) from officiating, and it will be a one time thing. Am I worrying about nothing or should I go back to my friends and say no? Is there a way to phrase my relationship with the org to make sure CO won't think it is work?
