MC&C

Hi Mc&C, first congratulations.

Quick question on the RFE--1/2 online status change-does it look like this?

On January 28, 2015, we received your response to our Request for Evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSCxxxxxx. Our National Benefits Center office will begin working on your case again. We will mail you a decision or notify you if we need something from you. You should receive a decision or case update by March 29, 2015, unless fingerprinting or an interview are needed.

and what kind of notice did you receive on 2/9? no interview? thanks!

Yes, it was the same status as yours. They mailed out the welcome notice on 02/09, I have no idea what it looks like since I haven't got the mail yet. I haven't got any interview waiver letter or interview request. So I guess they approved my case and it went pretty fast without an interview.

Hey guys, I am just so excited to share my timeline of the AOS case. I-485 and I-765 were both approved on Febuary 10, new cards were ordered to be produced. I-131 was approved on Febuary 9.

11/17/2014: file all three applications via usps

11/20/2014: Package delivered

11/24/2014: hard copies of NOA1(dated 11/20/2014)

12/18/2014: biometrics done at Jacksonville field office

12/18/2014: hard copy of RFE(dated 12/12/2014)

01/02/2015: online status changed to response to USCIS was received

02/09/2015: welcome notice was mailed out

02/10/2015: new card was ordered to be produced(no interview, no interview waiver letter)

I'll keep you guys updated when I have the cards in mail. Hopefully everyone will get it soon too

I got RFE too and my case update was still on "response to uscis was received" and it said I should be able to get an update or decision on my case by March 3rd, anybody has similar update?

You need the biometrics appointment letter to get the fingerprints done.

Thank you so much guys. This is helpful information. I wonder if I could submit the documents while I am in the field office to get my fingerprints done? Cause the documents are required to be submitted to the same field office.

Hey guys, I recently called USCIS military help line to expedite our case due to my husband's PCS. Got a mail requesting for supporting documents. Any input of what documents should I send in ? I have a copy of my husband's order(he got the order 3 months prior to our wedding, and is now PCS oversea) , would the order still be good? And what else should I send in? Thanks.

I had mine done in Jacksonville. Basically this is what i have done: locate all the civial surgeons close to me, and then make phone calls to them, asking about if the vaccinations must be done in their office and if another medical exam is needed. The one signed my I-693 form doesn't need the vaccinations done in his office, but need a new medical exam. So I got all the vaccinations from somewhere else which can be covered with insurance. And the whole medical exam and signing the paper cost $150, not bad (some asks for $200 or more ). I suggest you ask if the vaccinations need to be done in their office, after all that's the bigger part of the cost.

does all the form need in aos had a bar code? coz i already get done printing all the paper for i 485, i 864,ead, ap, it doesnt have a bar code

, i already updated my pdf reader still the same

yes, I-485,I-765,I-131,I-864 all have barcode. Try to get Adobe PDF reader.

can u take a pic of that form,?

i get worried now coz its like i used the wrong form. thank you

http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-485.pdf check this out, it's the sample form and you can go to http://www.uscis.gov/i-864 to download the form.

First off, I know this type of thread has been posted many times before. I've ready quite a few of them. And I'm very confident I'm in the clear and all prepared, but to help me sleep better, I'd greatly appreciate a few comments of "Looks good" or "Hey stupid you forgot form blah blah blabbity"

Also, as we get closer to the finish line, thanks as always to the community here, (Nich is my wife's superhero of immigration). Anyway back on topic.

This is the address I am gonna file mine, I came here on a K-1 visa.

Have you tried updating your pdf reader?

Thank you KayDeeCee, I got another pdf reader and now I have the exact form.

Hi VJs, I was readying I-864 instructions, and it says that the new form edition has 2D barcode technology to help collect information quickly and accurately. Yet when I downloaded the form, I didn't see any barcode on the form as it is supposed to be. Is it just me or anyone else has the same experience ? Really need some enlightments, thanks!

Some people are lucky to get green card w/o filing I-693 form, yet some are required by the immigration office. Best thing is to ask your attoney about the DS-3025 form to see if he submitted it or not. If not, you may need to see a CS to get the I-693 done.

I am going through the CS process too. Hopefully someone who had the similar experience can help you.

Thank you. One more question though, isn't a military base considered as American soil as well?

Hey everyone I am now filing AOS based on K1 visa(married now). My husband is PCS in Japan and try to get the commons sponsorship. My question is: Can I get AOS done oversea? Do I need to file out the papers in the STates now?

Hi everyone, I'm arriving to the US on a K1 visa. Some questions I have are...

1. Will I be able to join my husband in Japan

2. What are the required documents from start to finish.

3. Is it possible for me to process AOS overseas

4. Is a military base overseas considered US soil

5. Lets say everything is finished, what do I need to get back into the US when he PCS.

I would say make plans as you want, yet save the date for later when you get the visa in hand. You can start planning all details about your wedding, and once your fiancee gets the visa, all you need is to set the date of your big day!

Good luck!

Mine is also still in AP, and it's been almost 6 months. My passport was returned after the interview. When contacting them about the time that AP could be finished, they don't say a word about that. Only way is to wait.So....good luck.

Why not ask your girl to forward the email to you so that you can know if a notary is a must? As far as my interview went, only resume with an English translation is needed when being asked of. Good luck.

Thank you sooo much guys. .I really appriciate your responses. And for now, I guess I will ask my fiance to get a permit from his commander just in case. I am really upset at the delay of the visa though. It's been 4 months since my interview....

He needs to get a no objection to marry letter. Ask his chief or commander for assistance. Thats what my husband did.

He was even sort of reprimanded for not going through his commander.

Should we get the letter before the visa processing or is it fine to get it before we get the legal marriage papers?

As far as i know, he can file I 129f even he is overseas,since he is military.. If you get approved i think you will fly where he is stationed and get married there, since he is military his station still considered as US soil.. Please someone correct me if i. Wrong ?

We filed I-129F when he was still in the States.And as to getting married where he is stationed, I am not sure about it,but if we could, that would be the best, so we dont have to fly to the States.

In regards to getting permission, I'm not sure.

You're applying for k1 visa right? But he's moving to japan later this year. How are you planning to do this? Both fly to America to get married then then both move to Japan? Sorry I'm really confused. It seems like a lot of work. It'd be easier if you guys got married then he petitioned for a spouse visa instead. There's still a lot of work that needs to be done with the k1 visa after you get married

Yes, we are,and I have done the visa interview already.Only wait for the background check of my CCP memebership.We planned to fly to America to get married and then he starts the papers to get me on his orders so that I can fly to Japan later.

Hi everyone,

I am newbie here. My fiance and I are going thru K-1 processing. He is a US airforce personnel. Is there anyone who knows what my fiance needs to do about marrying to a foreign national, especially being a military personnel?? Does he need to get some kind of permission from his commander to state that he is allowed to marry to a foreigner? My fiance has been asking around, yet got nothing. And what's more, he is now depolyed in South Korea, and will be flied to Japan in June about. In such case, what we should do would be the best? We planned to get legal marriage papers done in the States ASAP I get my visa.

Thanks for your help !!!!
