Read the instructions for the form. It has the filing address and whom to make the check payable to.

Well congrats on your fiance's pregnancy!!! That wouldn't affect the medical exam at all. The medical exam is to check if your fiance has certain diseases. That is def not a reason why the K1 would be denied!!

what I am saying is about 80% or more of people who select this option do not receive one automatically.
then you're lucky and one was sent to you! YAY!

THE REST OF THE STORY!
After her interview we were expecting to see the CEAC website update at least within a day or two. But day after day went by and no updates. I started getting nervous, wondering if maybe she had said something that they thought about later, that had possibly contradicted something else she had said or something in the information we had already sent. I know in Pakistan so many people get put into endless AP - that can go on for months or even years. And I wondered if they would ever tell someone they were approved and then change their minds the next day.
Finally, a week later on November 5th, the date on the CEAC site changed to November 5th. But the status still said Ready. I stayed nervous. Almost a whole other week went by and then yesterday it updated and said Administrative Processing! We kind of celebrated with nervous expectancy that it was the normal one or two days of AP before issuing the visa. But I was still haunted by her rough interview and wondered if it might not be the kind of AP that goes on for three more years.
Then today, I woke up to a screenshot from my fiancee of the CEAC page and it said "November 14th", "ISSUED"!!!! So it looks like it's really going to come through! But I can't tell you what an unsettling last two and a half weeks I had seeing no updates at all day after day! In my mind I went from "she's never coming" to "SHE'S COMING NEXT WEEK!!!" It felt kind of like what I would imagine it might feel like if someone you loved died, and then two weeks later they came back to life! It was just an awesome feeling!

I sent my request by email on 10/29. As of now my queue is 11869 of 14576 in track 2. When you request your complete file like we both did, their website says it can take 44 business days. Of course mine hasn't moved much because when I first checked the status I was number 12145.
Keep in mind that the larger your immigration file is, the longer it can take. Plus they charge a fee if the pages go over 100 and/or involve more than 2 hours of searching. I'm praying that my file isn't that big, but I was willing to pay the $25 fee and nothing more.
By the way, if you only need a specific document from your file and not the whole thing, you can amend your request and it would take less time.

Of course you don't fill in those boxes if you aren't in the military. Just put N/A in the first box. You're making this harder than it needs to be.

Your mom can definitely apply for Obamacare insurance through Marketplace as a lawful immigrant. The 5 years residency requirements is only applicable for Medicaid. As a Legal resident your mom can purchase a health insurance through Marketplace. It's a little more expensive in the sense that she will have to pay a share of the cost but but the good thing is that it covers insured with existing conditions which has not been the case before Obamacare. However, there are about 29 states in the US have decided to allow immigrants with 5 years residency or less to have certain access to Medicaid whilst other have decided not to. So it really depends where you actually reside.
Lawfully Residing Immigrants with Five Years or Less US ResidencyAccess to subsidized coverage will also expand under the ACA for non-elderly lawfully residing immigrants with incomes below 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level who have been in the country five years or less. As indicated above, adults in this immigrant category with incomes below 400 percent of the FPL who do not have access to affordable employer-sponsored insurance will be eligible for subsidized coverage in the health insurance exchange; those with incomes below 138 percent of the FPL will not be eligible for Medicaid coverage (except pregnant women under the state option) but can qualify for exchange subsidies if they pay two percent of income. This cost sharing requirement may constitute a barrier to enrollment for some immigrants in this category, particularly for those with incomes below 100 percent FPL. Also, subsidies for out-of-pocket cost-sharing will provide much less generous coverage than that offered through Medicaid, so even if poor immigrant families enroll, many may delay necessary care because of cost. Although qualified immigrants are subject to the mandate, some at the lowest income bracket will be excluded. For lawfully residing immigrant children who have been in the country five years or less, their eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP will continue to depend on the state in which they live — those in the 22 states that have opted to cover these children will maintain eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP given the maintenance of effort requirement under the ACA, while other states may choose to take advantage of this coverage option under CHIPRA. As described above, increasing participation among eligible immigrant children will likely depend on addressing a range of different enrollment barriers. Lawfully residing immigrant children who have been in the country five years or less with incomes below 400 percent of the FPL who live in one of the 29 states that are not required by the MOE to continue covering them under Medicaid or CHIP, or who do not live in a state that opts to cover them with state funds, will qualify for subsidized coverage through exchange plans under the ACA, which may in turn reduce their uninsured rates.

If she does have your passport (and hasn't done something else with it), I would have the police get it returned to you or have your divorce attorney file a formal request. There could be an identity theft issue depending on the state you live in.
If you had anything such as joint utility bills you can contact the company directly and have those sent to you. Same with car insurance etc. If you had something such as a lease, contact the property management company directly for a copy, or if you owned your residence with your spouse you should be entitled to request a copy of the deed from your city or county.
Good luck, hope your lawyer is a good one.

LPRs only need to be residents of the US for five years to qualify for Medicaid or CHIP ONLY. LPRs and those applying for adjustment of status are eligible to buy into the exchange. The operator you spoke to is incorrect and needs to be further educated on what the federal statute says. Take a look here: https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/immigration-status/
Here is where the 5yr rule is mentioned for LPRs as it pertains to Medicaid:
Waiting periods for Medicaid & CHIPIn order to get Medicaid and CHIP coverage, most LPRs or green card holders have a 5-year waiting period. This means they must wait 5 years after receiving “qualified” immigration status before they can get Medicaid and CHIP. There are exceptions. LPRs who used to be refugees or asylees, for example, don’t have to wait 5 years. https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/lawfully-present-immigrants/
The operator you spoke to is a very confused individual and I would suggest to speak to someone higher up unless you can get one that actually knows what they are talking about.

They are wrong.

The answer is yes. It's perfectly possible to apply under another immigration category and still retain whatever other petition you have, as long as you keep meeting the requirements for that category.
For example, for an F4 derivative you have to be either the spouse or the minor unmarried child of the principal beneficiary. Let's say that the child is 18 years old and unmarried and applies for a fiancé visa, but it doesn't work out, never gets married, and returns home.
Does he/she lose his/her possibility of immigrating under the F4? No, as long as he/she is under 21 and unmarried, and meets all other immigration requirements he/she would qualify for that visa. Had he/she gotten married, immigrating under the F4, would no longer be possible.
I had actually researched this not too long ago after making it up in my head, Here is a link with info, beginning of page 9:
http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/87391.pdf

If the applicant is adjusting from a K-1, the check mark is made next to "Status as a Permanent Resident" on the applicant's G325a form.
You don't need to complete a G325a for the USC. Nor do you need to complete an I-130 petition.
The AOS package is mostly about the applicant/beneficiary who is adjusting, not his/her sponsor/petitioner. Except for the i-865 Affidavit of Support form. which is about the sponsor/petitioner.
Everything you need to send is listed in the VJ AOS guide:

It is not really that complicated. The I-129F instructions state that if something is N/A or none then to leave it blank. So, if your answer would be N/A or None, then leave it blank. You should follow the USCIS instructions. You will not get an RFE for following their own directions. I disagree with ignoring the instructions they lay out for you when filling out one of their forms.
http://www.uscis.gov...i-129finstr.pdf

The G-325A is a separate form. There are some questions on it that tell you, 'If none, so state'. In that case, put none as it tells you to.

That pdf you provided is only repeating what Jimmy Hou and I have been saying. There is no requirement that you attach documentation for the tickets, but you still need to answer yes to the question.
Again, just because people have said no to that question, doesn't mean they were supposed to. Every IO decides whether to make a big deal about it or not, however there is only one "correct" way and that is to answer yes about having been cited.

I'm just going to agree to disagree.

Yeah the one about the airport may or may not be necessary to put yes since it's not really being detained, unfortunately they don't make it clear on the instructions what they consider "detained." It's easy for one to think that being held by an officer even if not in any trouble as detained, so I completely understand the confusion. Hopefully someone else can say for sure if they have put yes for that.
As for the traffic tickets, that one I'm sure that it's considered being cited. A traffic ticket is a summons, the synonym for citation so he would have to answer yes.

Some people get confused between AOS VS N400
For Aos: The question which goes over this point(q1-b) clearly states "Excluding traffic violations "
For Citizenship : The similar question, which goes over the same point, is (q23) has NO exclusion phrase.
So, I think people, who i was one of them, carry over the impression that they don't need to list traffic tickets. I can say that you need to list them for N400 application, but you dont need to send any documentation. Just, bring a proof of payment to the interview.

It's quite possible that CO's can make decisions before interview which is why front loading etc is so important. But please explain why your statement goes against my suggestion of being prepared? They haven't always made up their minds beforehand and maybe knowing some random detail about some random trip actually convinces them to change their minds. You and I cannot know. We can only suggest to people what may help them.

For the one about being "cited" you answer yes because you were stopped and given tickets by a police officer, provide an explanation. If the tickets don't involve drugs or alcohol and are less than $500, you don't have to include evidence.
For the one about the airport, I believe that's called secondary inspection, you can probably answer yes and explain that. Personally, I would consider that being detained by an immigration officer, but it may not be. I don't think you would have to provide evidence of that because that's a routine process that they do sometimes. It's not like you were in any kind of trouble.
So to be on the safe side, just put yes for both and provide explanations. They sometimes like to use any little thing as misrepresentation now a days, so I would think it best to say yes and provide the explanations and they can tell you themselves that it's not a problem.

Exactly!!

I can't believe, of all things, changing the website layout was at the top of their to-do list.

There are lots of examples to support what you guys are saying. Many interviewers have actually said that they don't care about traffic tickets.
However, there are also lots of examples on this website of people who were asked about their traffic tickets.
Just search for traffic tickets on here and you'll see several examples of people who were asked for them.
As I said in my last post, the instructions don't say that you don't have to disclose tickets under $500. That is not written down anywhere that I have found.
What they do say is that you don't have to provide documentation for tickets under $500.
Since the instructions and the guide do not say that traffic citations should be excluded, then I would advice disclosing them.

Immigrant visa interviews are not to be taken lightly, especially those based on marriage. You could say that interviews where there is a biological relationship such as parent-child and siblings are usually a formality because then it's mostly a matter of the immigrant's admissibility.
However, in the case of spouses there has been so much fraud over the decades that they have really strict guidelines they have to follow when conducting these interviews. The biggest part is the relationship since that is what everything else is based on. They have to be convinced of the relationship in order to issue the visa.
You as the couple have to prove to the satisfaction of a very skeptical stranger that your relationship is the real deal. It is very heartbreaking and devastating when a couple experiences a visa denial because it means a longer time apart, and in some extreme cases a permanent denial due to being inadmissible.
So many things can go wrong during the interview if there is anything that stands out to them about your relationship. Things like language/cultural/religious barriers, large age differences, cheating on each other, not disclosing previous relationships or children, marrying someone while they are in removal proceedings, etc.
Not that these things always result in denials, but they often do and/or typically result in fraud interviews. The point here is that you have to be well prepared with plenty of evidence and ready to answer all of the CO's questions honestly and calmly. You can search through the forums about the bad experiences others have had during their visa interviews or AOS interviews.

Forgot to add that fiancé(e) relationships are also subject to stricter interviews as well.

There is absolutely NO document issued by USCIS that states that you are not supposed to disclose traffic violations.
If you have received a citation from a police officer, then you have been cited, and you should answer YES to this question.
What confused many people on this issue is that the USCIS Naturalization Guide says:
"Note that unless a traffic incident was alcohol and drug related, you do not need to submit documentation..."
You can see that it doesn't say anything about not disclosing the citation on the form, it just says that you don't have to provide supporting documentation. You STILL have to disclose it on the form.
Read through the interview experiences over the past few months; while many people were told that the traffic citations didn't matter, several applicants were specifically asked about traffic tickets.
It's up to your interviewer whether or not he/she will make a big deal out of traffic tickets, but I want everyone to be clear that the instructions DO NOT say that you don't have to disclose them on the form.

Here's how I see it:
If you're asked to go through additional processing at the airport, you're not really free to leave, so you could argue that you're being "detained".
But then again, all passengers arriving at the airport (including US citizens) aren't free to leave until they've been processed and had their passports looked at.
So I think that if the second group isn't being detained, then neither is the first group.
If this were my application, I'd feel pretty safe about not listing the airport incidents.
I agree that they should clarify things... I also think they should exclude traffic violations from this question and clearly state that.
When they revised the N400 form last year, there was a period of several weeks when public comments would be accepted. There were several suggestions that the final draft should explicit state that traffic tickets are not covered by this question, but USCIS decided to leave the wording unchanged, so for now, we have to keep listing them, unfortunately.
