need help with form I-485

[Zedayn 485]

If he is a US citizen, he would check 11.a I AM A US CITIZEN.

I'm not sure why 11.b is for joint sponsors only either.

11a. They are a US citizen. A US national is not necessarily a USC. http://www.***removed***/immigration/us-national.html

You need 2 photos for EACH form. Each application is processed separately.

I have a question on Part 5 . Sponsor's household size , please
Persons you are sponsoring in this affidavit
a. enter the number : 1 ( I sponsored my k-1fiance but now we are married )
Persons NOT sponsored in the affidavit :
b. yourself : 1
c. If you are married , enter 1 for your spouse ( should I enter 1 or 0 here? I confuse because I already sponsor for my k-1 fiancée above , but now we are married ? )}

_{one more question : in the I-94 form that issued to my fiancée : the last name is correct , but USCIS combined middle and first name into the first name only , look like she does not have middle name no more , Do I have to follow exactly the name on I-94 to fill out all paperwork I485 , I-765 ...
thanks very much}

a. enter the number : 1 ( I sponsored my k-1fiance but now we are married )

Persons NOT sponsored in the affidavit : <- This is the part you overlooked. Your spouse IS the person being sponsored and so were counted already. You do not count anyone twice. You put 0 for spouse.

b. yourself : 1

c. If you are married , enter 1 for your spouse ( should I enter 1 or 0 here? I confuse because I already sponsor for my k-1 fiancée above , but now we are married ? )one more question : in the I-94 form that issued to my fiancée : the last name is correct , but USCIS combined middle and first name into the first name only , look like she does not have middle name no more , Do I have to follow exactly the name on I-94 to fill out all paperwork I485 , I-765 ...<- Use your wife's correct name on the forms. If she is taking your name after marriage, then use her new married name.

A K-1 does not need a new medical exam all together if you do it within a year of your overseas medical. What you may need to do is get your vaccinations transcribed to a I-693. I did it just to be on the safe side so that I would not get any RFE's and had my case approved within 5 months without an interview. Some will say that you do not need it.

At what point does one know if a I-693 is needed?

Your husband went through Juarez, so he most likely does not have a DS-3025 or a blank one. They tend to not to bother with vaccinations for K-1 applicants in Juarez. He will need to find a civil surgeon to get the vaccinations marked off on an I-693. Take any vaccination records he has with you. You will need to call around to find one that will not insist on a new medical, that is not required, and you do not need.

If by some chance Juarez actually did bother with vaccinations when he was seen, then check this post > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/428381-i-693-report-of-medical-examination-and-vaccination-report/?p=6206232

Thanks Kay! My fiancé didn't receive a DS-3025. I've looked in to some civil surgeons in our area and am going to make an appointment ASAP.

Is it expensive to see one even of the fiancé is only going to get the form and not an exam? I guess I can ask around.

Some will try to insist on a new medical or charge you for one anyway. It might take a bit of calling around to find one. Try looking through this long thread to see if there are any listed near you > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/231026-civil-surgeons-who-dont-rip-you-off/

Also, try searching civil surgeon [your city] to see if anything comes up.

I feel like we've SO much to do and so little time

It's crunch time!

Thanks again Kay
