DV 2025 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

Hi all,

Can a concern over continuity of someone's status (humanitarian parole) due to potential changes introduced by the new administration serve as a valid reason to do a congressional inquiry rather early, explaining all of this? Or at least calling and requesting INFOPASS?
Have you already filed for AOS? When did you send in your AOS package? Do add your case to the Timeline spreadsheet if you already filed.

To directly answer your question, you most definitely will not be able to get an INFOPASS appointment based on concern about potential changes by the incoming administration. And I doubt if your congressman/woman's office will consider that a legitimate reason for requesting case follow-up assistance either considering if your AOS application is already pending, continuity of an applicant’s current status, or potential threat to it, has no impact on the eventual case adjudication.
 
I only found out the biometric date through Emma (December 3), but I rescheduled it for November 21 (in 3 days). I haven't received the original letter yet. The instructions say this:

View attachment 5585

Will it be a problem if I don't have time to receive the original letter?
AFAIK, the original bio notice is irrelevant if you've already rescheduled the bio appointment.

Thank you! Pictures are not on this list?
 
Thank you. So the RFE on this topic asks for on and after the wedding date, before is not relevant, is that correct?
well I don’t know what the wording is. Usually people show photos of before to prove it’s a genuine relationship

And I didn't send anything like that except joint taxes. Is that enough?

P.S. We got married 2 years ago when I was pending asylum and no status.

That is not a typically required list for DV based AOS application, hence the non-listing in the AOS process spreadsheet.
 
I had a question about sending the Postal Money Order - I know I am supposed to write it to "U.S. Department of Homeland Security", but what address do I use in the Postal Money Order section? I am in Washington, so will have to file it to the USCIS Phoenix Lockbox according to the Filing locations. Is this what the Address section on the Postal money order should be for Phoenix?

To: U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Address:
USCIS
P.O. Box 20500
Phoenix, AZ 85036-0500

Reference: I-485 AOS "My name" or I-485 AOS "2025DVnumberXXXX"

Thanks for your help Sm1smom and all, its greatly appreciated!

1. Use the lockbox address for where you’ll be mailing your AOS package to.
2. You can write I-485 application.
 
Hello,

Does somebody know the process for RFE mailing? I was told by an agent that they see one and it was created late last week, but when I checked with them today, they said they still see it but it has not been mailed.

Also, what’s the time they grant to response commonly?
 
I just received the interview notice , my derivative have a different interview time , is that the norm, are they separate interviews? What’s is the interview approval rate ?

Thank you

I've seen this happen fairly often from other replies.

May I ask what is your FO?

It’s normal they send the notice like that but you’ll interview together usually. both go at the earlier interview time.
