Hi everyone,

I have won the lottery for 2021 and I´m currently present in the US. I came with an F-1 visa and now I´m adjusting my status. I already submitted DS-260 and I paid the Adjustment of status fee to Kentucky Counselor Center. I received the receipt of payment last week and now I don´t know what to do next. Please can anyone help me out with what the next step is in the processes. 

 

Thank you!

Now you need to wait for them to respond to you. It normally takes 4-5 months for them to schedule Interview for AOS based on my experience in 2015 (this is during Pre-Pandemic times). 

 

Thanks,

SHibu
