If you do not use an interpreter or document preparer to complete Form I-485, is it necessary to indicate "N/A" in each of the items in those sections or is it better to leave those items blank?

Putting N/A in the preparer or interpreter’s section (when no preparer or interpreter was used) is NOT recommended. Take a look at the sample prefilled I-485 and follow that. We’ve had reports in the past of the AOS package being rejected and returned to the applicant for “missing signature” because N/A was listed under preparer/interpreter’s sections.

1. You are eligible to file for EAD with your AOS application. However, be sure you review the "AOS Package" and "AOS_FAQ" tabs of the AOS Process spreadsheet to ensure the implications of using an AOS based EAD to undertake authorized employment while your AOS application is pending.
2. Go through the AOS_FAQ tab of the AOS Process spreadsheet.

Thank you!
 
Hello everyone,

I am planning to pay the DV fee for me and my wife. Should I make one money order including both of the fee or different money orders for each?
Please let me know.

Hi Mom. We are still waiting for our NOA, but one of our cases went from "Case was received" to "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" today. No NOA still. Does it mean that bio was waived? Does it mean anything at all? Thank you!

You will receive a separate notice, (in place of the bio appointment letter) if your bio is being waived.

Do you have USPS Informed Delivery in place? If you do not, I recommend you initiate and have it in place as this enables you to know in advance if any USCIS correspondence that already got scanned as coming your way goes missing if it ends up not showing up for delivery.

Didn't have it on, but now I do, thank you! Nothing in it yet, I assume it does not capture anything prior to it being turn on. Will keep an eye out for new letters.
 
Hello!
Is it ok to submit an entry for DV2026, just in case, or does it impact the AOS process for 2025 win?

Also, might be an opportunity for a paper trail to add the spouse there if they can see it?

You and your spouse both can apply for 2026 as separate principal applicants (hence double the probability). Its not going to impact your 2025 win.
 
Hello all. Does someone received NOA through mail after your case was recorded? We got only messages on phone that say our case received and information will follow through mail. It was two weeks ago.

We received text msg a week after delivery date and received mail in another 10 days and also we can see the status on the USCIS portal.

Yes, i see status. But my husband worries that 1145 means we will receive all online.

I don’t think so. Although we filed 1145 with both email and sms options, they only use sms. And that’s is only for notifications of receiving our documents at lock box. I am sure they will send you via mail to your address.

No, you will not. As a matter of fact, you will not receive any other text message going forward.

Meanwhile, you should add your case to the 2025 Timeline spreadsheet.
