K3 and AOS Questions

[masha&greg 0]

My wife has entered the US with her K3 visa and we are filling out the AOS forms. We have a couple questions and would really appreciate some help.

1. On the I-485 (Part 2), what is the application type for a K3 visa holder? It's obvious for K1s, but not so obvious for K3s.

2. My wife of course had to pass a medical exam to receive her visa. The examination form was sealed with the documents she submitted at the POE, so we do not have a copy. Do we have to get another examination or can we obtain a copy of the original examination record? If the latter, where do we send our request?

Thanks very much for you help!

1. a. an immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number has been approved.

2. You can look up a local immigration doctor and has him/her do a i-693a supplement for you.

1) "A" based on the approved I-130, and attach a copy of the I-130 NOA2 letter.

2) K-Visas only need a vaccination supplement because the visa medical is less than a year old.

Thank you very much for your help. One more question about the I-485: Does the "expires on" date refer to her visa or the I-94 (the date on the stamp)?

Thanks again!

There are some more questions.

I-485

1. What is it A# and if my wife has it?

2. Were you inspected by a U.S. Immigration Officer? Is it YES?

3. G-325a: What is Alien Registration Number and if my wife has it? Where we can find it?

4. I-765: 14. Manner of Last Entry (Visitor, Student, etc.)? Is it VISITOR?

15. Current Immigration Status (Visitor, Student, etc.)? Is it VISITOR?

5. Eligibility under 8 CFR 274a.12? Is it (a)(9)?

1. This may be written on the back side of the I-94 card, or is on I-129F approval letter.

2. YES that is the officer at the POE.

3. See number 1.

4. 14. Other K-3 visa 15, K-3 visa holder.

5. C 9 "Based on pending I-485" if you use an "A" classification this EAD will cost you $340, "A" Class if for applying for EAD BEFORE filing for AOS, some K-3's do this to get work auth, and then file for AOS very close to 2nd wedding anniversary, to avoid getting the 2 year CR-Green card, many K-3s have need married over a year before getting the visa, so waiting a few months to file the I-485 can save them the added hassle of the conditional green card.

You don't usually need a new medical if your visa is less than a year old. I believe this is true for both K1's and K3's. You just need the supplement, and you should be able to find a doctor who will transcribe your vaccination record to a new I-693A form for a small fee. We paid $25 for ours.

Correct, this is true for all K-Visas, though the wording in form I-485 directions tends to make it look like just K-1/2, this wordign has not been updated to cover the life act K-3/4 visas.

K3 Visas are a little different. K1 only requires the vacc supplement. K3 applicants must get a stateside physical because some overseas countries don't have all required vaccs etc.

1) "A" based on the approved I-130, and attach a copy of the I-130 NOA2 letter.

2) K-Visas only need a vaccination supplement because the visa medical is less than a year old.

K3's do not need a complete medical if it is less than 12 months same as the K1'a, only need the supplement.
