US Immigration from Brazil

Hi Everyone,

We submitted the 485 packet in June 2020. Included was the DS-3025 completed in January 2020. According to the excellent pinned post embedded below regarding when you actually need the additional I-693 and when the DS 3025 is truly complete and sufficient, it seemed that a 693 was not necessary. I have attached the DS-3025 for anyone who would be willing to review my analysis for completeness. However, we just received a yellow "I-693 Deficiency Notice" saying that if an AOS interview is granted, a complete I-693 will need to be brought to the interview, and if an interview is not required, then an RFE for the I-693 will be sent out. The notice also explicitly states not to mail in additional information. So, as I said, my analysis indicates that the attached DS-3025 meets all the requirements (please double check me if you have time) and the I-693 shouldn't be needed. All shots are up to date and dated, waiver rows are filled in with the correct waiver codes, Section 2 is marked correctly, and the form is signed and dated. Plus this is the Consulate-designated physician in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil who is extremely experienced with the AOS process and is fully fluent in English. He seemed to know the full AOS process, regarding the medical and vaccines. But . . . I recall several VJ'ers saying in past posts they received similar notices and simple ignored it and took the DS-3025 with them to interview and things were fine. Looking for advice from those who have been through this similar situation. Thanks everyone.

My wife arrived in the U.S. in 2018 from Brazil with a Tourist Visa for a visit. The Visa expires in 2028. She then arrived in January of this year on a K-1 Visa. We were married in March. We have filed the authorization to travel and the change of status. We were told today that it would be another 4-6 months before her paperwork is processed. She planned on traveling in November, 3 months from now because of a court date. My question is karma is she able to still travel with her tourist Visa while awaiting the processing of her paperwork? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
