Hi everyone!  

 

I have a question. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.  Has anyone used their advance parole recently? 

 

1. Did you have any issues?

2. What documents did you bring? Passport and Advance Parole or did you bring more evidence?

 

I need to go back home and I am getting a little nervous about leaving. Thanks in advance!

A friend of mine went on vacation to Mexico 2 weeks ago and had no problems using the AP!

I had the same question a while back as well.

Hey guys,

 

We received a notice to attend our Green Card interview mid-October. One of the requirements is that we bring our I-693 (vaccination info in a sealed envelope) unless already submitted. Is this document what my husband had to give during his K-1 interview at the US consulate in Dublin? I remember that he had to see a doctor and take a sealed envelope to his interview. 

 

Does that mean I don't need to worry about it because it was already submitted? Or is this something else? We tried to call but USCIS is USELESS. So so so so so not helpful. 

 

Thanks,

 

Rae

The I-693 form they are talking about was supposed to be submitted at the time you’re mailing your AOS package. If you didn’t include that, you may need to go with one on the day of your interview or it may delay the adjudication process. Go to the USCIS website and search for their designated and accredited doctors to perform this exercise. Hope this helps!

Since you are a k1 the medical had to be completed before the k1 interview. The  I 693 is handed over at the interview (by the beneficiary) and then placed in the sealed envelope that was brought to the border and given to the officer upon entering the USA (or forwarded to USCIS electronically) You do not have to do the medical again (unless instructed to do so by USCIS).

Do you have a copy of your immunizations? (I would take a copy to the interview)

How long ago was your medical completed?

My husband completed the medical 11 months ago. I did just read this on the I-693 instructions: 

 

3. What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already had a medical examination overseas?

If you were admitted as a:

 

A. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or

B. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and

C. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then:

 

(1) You are not required to have another medical examination as long as you file your Form I-485 within one year of an overseas medical examination; and

 

(a) The panel physician did not find a class A medical condition during your overseas examination; or

 

(b) The panel physician did find a class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility, and you have complied with the terms and conditions of the waiver.

 

(2) Even if a new medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original overseas medical examination report, you will have to have the Part 9. Vaccination Record completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you must submit Parts 1., 2., 3., 4., 6., and 9. of Form I-693.

 

 

I sent the Form I-485 in January so I think we are okay?

Not sure if anyone is in same situation as me...we submitted the I-485 around mid Jan, got EAD/AP card on June 14, but haven't received anything for the AOS yet...I checked the case status and it shows:
"My Case Status does not recognize the receipt number entered. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283."

I tried calling that number and can't seem to find an option for a live representative.....

Yes. USCIS should already have your I 693. So, no, you do not have to do another medical exam (unless USCIS makes you do one again....which, in my opinion, is not very likely).

 

Did your husband receive a copy of the DS 3025 (the immunizations record)?

Is the DS 3025 marked “complete” at the bottom of the page?

Just checking in since it's been a couple months. No news.

 

Currently our local office is showing only 5 interviews in the past two years, with 22 K1 I-485 NOA1s listed here on the site (so probably more like a couple hundred.)

 

Everyone with January 2017 NOA1s has had an interview, but no one with April 2017 does, and we're January 2018. Looks like a long wait ahead.

I am in the same boat. A few rogue interviews by vjers from after we filed but nothing much. So long wait for us as well.

 

I finished my 7 weeks of training at work and tomorrow will be the end of my first official week. I got stuck on a call last night and clocked half an hour overtime woohoo. I was super scared Monday and Tuesday and told myself Wednesday to breath and say I got this I can do this over and over. My coach reviewed calls with me and was pleased with what she heard and only had a few things for me to work on. Still scary though. Oh well one more day and it is the weekend woohoo.

 

Laughing at all the talk of evidence. I haven't even thought about it much. I just realized that since I am the one that works now as my fiance is looking for work that all our health insurance etc is my name with him as the beneficiary. lol We are doing good though. Still loving life together.

Thanks so much for the response. I will let everyone know how it goes.

Hey Guys 

 

my online status is stuck on “ready to scheduled” since August 17. Does anyone know how long is the wait?

[gtiorobertsf 72]

Good Morning,

We received an email yesterday on our anniversary that action was taken on our case and is scheduled for interview.

For those that have already had their interview. How long is it from the notification to the actual date of the interview?

It is usually about a month out.  You should get the paper with the details in about a week or so.

That's good news. We're a little anxious about the interview date.

We're moving to California towards to the end of the month in October. Even if the interview is after we leave we will just fly back for it.

Instead of a request to switch the interview date and location considering the current climate and how long we have waited already.

It might be right around the time you are moving.  You will want to inform USCIS after you have moved of your new address.  Even though you may have the GC.  If you have the address, I would make sure to give it to them at the interview.
