File the AOS with what you have and include a copy of the DS3025.  Worst case, an RFE is issued to complete the DS3025, but that will most likely require a new complete medical exam by a civil surgeon.

 

This is your best option at this point. And RFE for the vaccinations is easily remedied.

I hear you. But I just don’t understand why? If he got all the vaccines needed. why would the box be left unchecked?

Human error... it happens. I've seen several reports here where they failed to give the patient the DS-3025 altogether

This is why I would submit it today as is.  The IO may look at it and see all the vaccines are completed, and ignore the unchecked box, you can bring it up at the interview if asked, or worst case, you get an RFE.  The point is don't delay an I485 package filing for this.

 

Good Luck!

Now im thinking I need to check 1a, and our joint sponsor would check 1d. Is this correct? 

 

These are the correct options for you and the joint sponsor (providing they are the only joint sponsor)

in addition, as our joint sponsor is married and filing jointly, his wife would need to fill out the I-864a, even though she is not working, correct? 

 

I believe this is correct but I am not 100%.

I agree.  Sometimes, officers ask for an I-864a.  Better to have it, imho.

If you upload a redacted copy of the DS-3025, depending on what we see, we might be able to give you a better answer.

It looks good except for the missing TDAP vaccine.  It's weird he had the DT vaccine intead of TDAP.   This  means he is missing the Pertussi vaccine. The potential problem I see is that there is no blanket waiver for TDAP or Perrtussi.   You might get an RFE to submit a waiver or to get the TDAP vaccine.  Maybe you can go back and ask them if they forgot to record the TDAP vaccine or to give you waiver.

For comparison, my Wife's DS-3025 only had the TDAP and MMR vaccine by the panel physician.  Plus the covid record.  Everything else had the blanket waiver for everything else ... 

 

As far as I know, Pertussi is a required vaccine for the green card, and it is part of the TDAP which your form has totally blank including the waiver.

 

Maybe someone else might have more info about this ...

Hi,

My husband is filing for AOS after K-1.

i did not file taxes for 2022 as I didnt work in the US or anywhere else that year (gap year). I answered NO to question 15 on Part 6 of I-864 “have you filed a tax return for each of the 3 recents years”. 
I filled in 16a/16b with my tax return years of 2023/2024 and the amounts. For 16c I put N/A. Do I check the box on Question 17 “I was not required to file a tax return as my income was below the IRS level and I have attached evidence to support this?

 

I included a letter I got off the irs website that states “On May 6th, 2025, we received a request for verification of non-filing of a tax return. As of the fate of this letter, we have no record of a processed tax return for the period listed above”

 

 

thank you!

Hi,

Okay.. I am the wife of a K-1 applicant, we are not filing AOS. I do not need income requirements so we have a joint sponsor (we will call him Bill).

 

To my knowledge, as BILL is married and files taxes JOINTLY with his wife KIM, KIM needs to fill out a I-864A. (Please correct me if wrong and save me the hassle).

 

Part 5. Sponsor’s Promise, Statement, Contact Information, Declaration, Certification and Signature

 

^^Does BILL or KIM fill out this section?^^
 

I am assuming it is BILL, but want to be sure.

I reached out to the doctor who issues the report. He wrote back to me telling me to check off the box on the back (not joking). I have a screenshot of the conversation. Should I do this and provide a screenshot of the conversation?
