Confused about the I-485 and other forms.

[Tokenfreak 223]

So when I am filing the I-485 form I should also submit my I-131 and I-765 forms along with it in the same envelope and mail it to the USCIS?  I read somewhere the fee for the I-485 includes the fees for the I-131 and the I-765 is that true?   This is all for a K1 Visa applicant.  Thanks.

1.  Submit them together.

2.  If filed along with the I-485, there is no fee for I-765 and the I-131.

 

Good Luck..

Anytime after you receive your marriage license back from the state.

Do I still need to submit a I-693 form with the DS3025?  I am confused about this part of the instructions.  Thanks.

 

"I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status. If you are a K-1, K-2, K-3 or K-4 visa holder the I-693 instructions state that you are not required to have another medical examination as long as your Form I-485 is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination. Regardless of if you are exempt from a medical exam, you are still required to complete certain portions of the I-693 and have a Civil Surgeon certify the form (and seal it in an evelope). Specifically, you will complete Part 1 (Information about you) of the I-693 and provide both the form and your DS-3025 (if you have it, proving your vaccination history) and any proof of required vaccinations that were completed prior to entering the US. If you do not have a copy of your DS-3025 you will need to provide sufficient evidence of your vaccination history to the Civil Surgeon (talk to the civil surgeon's office to discuss what vaccination records they accept as proof). If you do not have proof of your vaccination history the Civil Surgeon may insist on re-administering all the required vaccinations prior to completing the I-693. Once the Civil Surgeon has has verified that all required vaccinations have been performed, they will complete form I-693 Part 2 (the vaccination section) and Part 5 (the Civil Surgeon's Certification). They will then seal the form in an envelope and return it to you."

@Tokenfreak you can make a copy of your marriage certificate and send them that instead of waiting for the marriage license which can take up to a month to be received.

I just went to see the doctor about I-693 yesterday. It seems that CIS added a new blood test called Quantiferon since October 1, 2018. I had no TB problems on my DS-3025, but for some reasons I had to take it to get my I-693. And now it is the flu season, so if you visited IOM before October you'll need this shot too. 

I would say, it is safer to get a sealed envelope from a CIS approved civil surgeon than to get a RFE and extend the process even longer.

I just read the instructions on the I-693 form and it seems we do not need this form since K1's already had a medical examination overseas.

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.

This is my case. For unknown reason the doctor in Moscow didn't mark completed, but marked "K1 visa applicant voluntarily refused getting vaccination at the time of medical exam", which is a strange thing at all, because I had all my vaccinations done, except for the flu (it was in July). That's why we decided to be safe and get an I-693.

Oh ok I see and understand in your case.  On ours they marked, "K1 visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements".  So I think we are good with out one.
