Prior to 2018, a DV based AOS application from asylum pending was most likely guaranteed a successful outcome (assuming the applicant hasn’t violated any other immigration law). That hasn’t been the same since then. Some IOs are no longer approving those with just asylum pending without any other underlying status, some will no longer approve those who file for asylum after going out of their authorized stay. Several factors now come into play. .
thanks for your help! Gonna check both threads out.
