K1 visa approved - what do I need to plan for POE and AOS?

[KPea 0]

Hi everyone!

I received my passport with k1 visa in the mail yesterday, along with the big yellow envelope thats all taped and rubber banded up instructing not to open it. I have not been given further instructions (the Sydney US Consulate did not email me anything else).

I understand at POE (most likely LAX) I have my USC fiance who will be travelling with me, stick together, and hand over passport and yellow packet to the officer.

The yellow packet instructions on the front says to attach the Xray to it...but my xray is so large, i can only put it in my checked luggage! Has anyone had any experience with having to show xrays at POE?

Does the officer give you back the documents that are in the yellow packet? I understand my medical results are in there.

I only have a photocopy of the medical DS-3025 that the doctor gave me at the time I did my medical. Is this all I need for AOS or will I require anything else?

We are planning on flying to Michigan and then having civil ceremony a week later, then file for AOS (and EA and AP) as soon as we get marriage certificate back.

Hi,

I just had POE yesterday through Detroit International Airport. It was very amazing POE than from what I've read on VJ so far. The officer that handled my case was really nice and friendly. I came to US with my fiance - he was with me during my interview- and we went to USC-Alien Resident line directly. The officer did not ask my X-ray though I carried it in my backpack. I think you should just be fine.
