Look at this link: http://www.visajourn...18#entry4971318

Which vaccines are you missing? Or Is it incomplete ONLY because some vaccines are ticked "not age appropriate"?

Thank you for sharing the link! i think i have the same worksheet that you mentioned. Actually there is no missing vaccines, they ticked "not age appropriate" the rest of my immunization. They only gave me 3 vaccines namely Dtap, MMR, Varicella with dates given.

So is does this mean I'm good to go for my interview right?

Moved to Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from Family Based Visas, from K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures as this is and AOS question.

thanks by the way!

Hello guys! it's been 4months since i got here. I just receive a letter for interview this coming October. I'm confused if i should comply the form I-693? because they say;<br class="Apple-interchange-newline">I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status.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. If you are missing any shots from your overseas medical a I-693 vaccination transcription is required to be completed by seeing a Civil Surgeon to have certain portions of the I-693 completed and have the Civil Surgeon certify the form

Now it says here in my vaccination worksheet the result; VACCINE HISTORY INCOMPLETE and APPLICANT MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR BLANKET WAIVER BECAUSE VACCINATION NOT MEDICALLY APPROPRIATE.

Should i go see a Civil Surgeon before my interview or NOT?

Any suggestions?

PLEASE HELP

thank you all for the reply! ;-)

Hello guys! need your advice..my fiancee and I got married after 1month i arrived here in US. Question, Is Adjustment of Status needed ASAP? Does it also has an expiration date with in 90days?

Please need your help...

Thanks

Congrats! Yahoooo...

i see! thank you so much for the info! i'm already looking cheapest price as much as i could but i think it's not gonna be less than $800 because of the urgency that i have to be there in US last week of april! ;-(

anyway, thank you so much for everything!

Thank you lord! ALL IS WELL....ALL IS WELL!

No problem fellow VJ'er. :thumbs: Always happy to help others :D

You can wait for the Visa to arrive. Which can take anywhere from 7 - 10 business depending on your location. Then attend the CFO Seminar and receive the sticker and stamp same day.

Alternatively you can go take the CFO Seminar anytime. Upon completion, they will issue you a certificate. You will need to return once you get the visa and passport in hand. Then they will place the CFO sticker and stamp in the passport. Then you are done with that process.

Yes your fiance(e) will book a one way ticket to USA. Try Delta, Cathay, or Continental <---(expensive)!!. I booked my wife's ticket with Delta last year November. The ticket was the cheapest I could find at that time for $712 USD.

One other thing make sure to check if the departure tax is include in the price of the ticket. NAIA imposes a P1,620 Filipino departure tax on all Filipinos immigrating to another country. If it is not include in the ticket. You will need to pay the departure tax at the airport.

thank you for your help and suggestions during the time i have so many questions hehehe ;-)

Congratulations!

thank you wally! actually it was you blog than turn on the light on me! ;-)it was very detail and precise. thank you! i didn't wait for the letter from embassy. i just ask the MNL case # from NVC and that's it..everything goes smoothly. if i waited for the letter probably it will take me another 3 months. ;-)

now, i just wait for the visa and have the CFO seminar right?

one more thing, how about the ticket, is it one way? or round trip? and is there any travel agency you may know that offer a cheap price? ;-)

thank you wally!

Congratulations Whooohooo!!!! :dance:

:star: :star:

Good Luck and God Bless!!! Oh yea don't forget about CFO!!

Thank you so much Lord! VISA APPROVED....there will be a miracle when you believe!

thank you ;-) really appreciate it!

If you're a first time immigrant, you can get discounted tickets through many airlines. Some people here on VJ have used this site when traveling from the Philippines: My link Hope it helps!

right! thanks for the reply! really appreciate it..;-)

You don't want to book anything until you have the visa stamped in your passport. Once that happens, whichever is cheaper is the way to go. If you happen to hget a RT, make sure you cancel the return once you future spouse arrives.

thank you for the info!

Wait for the Visa, then book your flight. One way or round trip, either one that is the best price range for you. You can find alot of cheap flights online, and booking a flight on a Tuesday or Wednesday will save you money also. Good Luck

thank for the reply! ;-) really appreciate it..anyway, so what happens to the return flight? i will just cancel it?

Hey! You can book whichever is cheaper! Usually this is a round trip but I was lucky enough to get a 1 way for an okay price. If you get a round trip and they ask why, just tell them the truth...IT WAS CHEAPER! They probably hear it all the time.

You only need your visa at POE not to book the flight.

hello guys! just want to ask, for K1 petition..when you booked your ticket is it one way or round trip? i'm confused...and is the visa required when you booked a ticket?

i see! thank you for the info! if you don't mind what common questions they ask in the interview? just a heads up...

you don't have to wait for any letter from the embassy. before you enter the building, they will only ask you for your passport, print out of your interview appointment they emailed you and your ds forms.

Thank you for the info! God bless!

This is the link to the K1/K2 page, note the required documents for the interview. DS-230 is not required of you. Don't wait for any letter or package from USEM, how fast you get through the final steps and land in the arms of your honey is mostly up to you now -- provided you pass the medical and interview.

Register online for the medical at St. Luke's, registering online will save time on the day of the actual medical. This is the link to St. Luke's, note the required documents for the medical.

Before or after your interview at USEM, you'll need to attend a CFO counseling session. If you have the visa -- you get a CFO sticker placed in your passport after the counseling session. If you attend the CFO counseling before you have the visa -- you return to CFO with your certificate to get the sticker. That sticker is required before you can exit the country. Here is the link to the CFO website, note the documents required to attend the counseling.

Thank you for the info! i already printed out the appointment letter from the email. i had my MNL case number last march 12 via email. they said it's already forwarded at the Embassy Manila. how long does it take for them to send it? good for you, you have the letter. but what does it says? does it says, bring this with you or something?...

As far as I know it isnt required to submit tax info with the 134 but it is done in many cases. At my embassy they request tax info most of the time for example but it isnt required. Check with your embassy

One question would be to find out if the embassy would even allow the use of a co sponsor. Some do, some dont in K 1 cases. Doesnt sound like you need one anway. However I dont understand the meaning of " the point is" sentence. It seems to indicate someone gave you tax info for 3 years.

What may be needed is your fiances' tax transcripts for at least one year. If the most recent year didnt fairly reflect his income then he should supply more years to create an average.

If he is going to submit only tax forms & not transcripts those forms must include all supporting documentation. Submitting a W 2 only will probably result in a request for more info therefore a denial until its submitted. If he is going to get an extension for 2011 it is then correct to supply the extension info.

Contact the IRS by phone, on line or in person to obtain the free transcripts. Get them by fax, mail or in person at any IRS office.

Did he provide you with a copy of the request for an extension and the acceptance of said extension for his 2011 income tax return?

You are so right. Absolutely absurd to haul suitcases of chat logs to USEM. No officer is going to look at all that. In fact unless there is a red flag, chances are they will not look at anything. It seems that people always concretate on the wrong things. I have never heard of a case at USEM, being delayed because of lack of chat logs, cards, etc etc. It is almost always lack of sufficient income, no divorce decree, missing info on NBI etc etc.

I know someone is going to say, " What will it hurt to have all that in case, my answer is nothing. It will not hurt to memorize the pre amble to the constitution, the words to the star spangled banner or to memorize the state capitols, it's jsut that it's totaly a waste of time. Concentrate on the important things like making sure you have all your legal docs in order and you meet the basic requirements for income and have proof of that etc etc.

A few random selected pages of chat logs, a few cards, receipts where you sent money, 7 or 8 pictures are plenty. I hear people talk about thier 5+ lb packages they send for the interview and scratch my head.
