DV 2025 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

Hello everyone,

I currently have a USCIS account with a pending asylum case. I am able to add the receipt number for my AOS application to this account. It seems that I will not receive automatic emails similar to those for asylum cases or other USCIS applications submitted online. in which they notify me when there has been a change to my account and prompt me to log in for details.

Are there any other trusted third party immigration applications I should follow up on to monitor my progress in detail other than login in to my USCIS or using case status USCIS online

Thank you!
Any other app you use is just going to use your case numbers to get the same info you see on USCIS online. Why give your information to a third party for no extra benefit?
 
Hi guys, I paid $330 on October 7th and today I received an email that the payment was confirmed.

1) Am I right in understanding that this is the 2nd email?
2) Can I now start filling out form 485 with all the necessary documents?
3) Do I need to answer them anything?

Thanks

Interesting, I just got the same paper I sent to them with "paid" stamp on it, no emails, did you get the envelope back?
I think you can include both confirmations, no response required

No, I literally just got this email a couple of minutes ago and haven't received anything since. I haven't received anything via regular mail either (should I receive anything via regular mail?)

Did you include self addressed stamped envelope along with your money order? Looks like their confirmation may vary

Yeah I received this one
Have you gone through the AOS Process Spreadsheet? If you haven’t, or you did before, I recommend you go through it (again). You may want to start with the FAQ tab/sheet, before reviewing the various other tabs on the spreadsheet.

Why? What's wrong?

I try to go step by step and where I am not sure I ask here on the forum. In general I have a general understanding of the process. When you say that then I have a suspicion that I am doing something absolutely wrong :)

No

That’s normally the suggestion when people are asking questions that are answered in the spreadsheet

Because the answers to almost all the questions you've asked today can actually be found in the FAQ tab of the referenced spreadsheet.
 
In the Ds260, where it asks for last 5 years of travels to the US, do I ignore the current stay as there is no departure, or do I put the current arrival and put duration til today?

You have to add the current stay. Departure date can be the date of the day in which you’ll be submitting the form. So if you’re submitting the DS260 form today, then use today’s date as departure date.

thank you!! would it be appropriate to do it as follows, or rather count days? e.g. its 3 months 10 days so I would put 4 months?

it does not allow MM/DD/YYYY but instead only to select X days months years

and is it ok to sign and submit the i485 and the ds260 after the i485 has already been received?

another question as i got confused with the "postmark date" and signature.

for example, i sign as of today, i ship tomorrow with overnight, and uscis receives on friday, this would be fine? i read that the postmark date for uscis is either the date on the label or 10 days before if there is no date. as signatures dated in the future are not allowed and this could look like it.

Use your discretion based on the information you've been provided.
Submitting the DS260 after the I-485 has already been filed has not been known to be an issue.
