    K1 September 2014 Filers (TSC)

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Finally got the approval exactly 7 months after sending the petition. It has been really long and frustrating but I should be thankful and hope the next stages of the process goes smoothly. I received the text and email at 1:30 am EST, and also FYI I checked my USCIS case status at around 1:25 am as well and it was not updated by that time. So most probably the text/email and the update of the case status on USCIS happens at the same time. Good wishes and prayers for everyone who has been waiting as we were just to get out of TSC.

    Also the date of Approval is April 6th, that means they are sending out notifications and updating the website after a day of approval.

    Congrats!Best luck for you next steps!

    When you say text $ email, you mean you send you email? And text in your phone?

    Texas will start working faster from tomorrow on

    Hello Dears,

    Good News for who's been waiting for endless time for Texas to approve our cases. Texas decided to transfer some of it's piles to California so hope we will hear something good very soon.

    P.S it is been 6,5 months since our first NOA 1 and when we called to them we were told we were within regular processing time frame :ranting: .

    So now fingers are crossed for all of us who's been waiting for so long!

    And the below link is about Texas transferring some of its piled up cases.

    Hi. My friend from Kyrgyzstan got her fiancee visa in abu dhabi, uae. When she and her fiance applied i 129 they were both legally working in uae, and they put abu dhabi on the i129 form. There was no problem to get the visa.

    I-693 - Report of Medical examination and vaccination report

    You can do that or if your DS-3025 from Knightsbridge is sufficient, use it. Read all this for information. It's some information I have compiled.

    Do I need a medical exam?

    What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already had a medical exam overseas?

    If you were admitted as a:

    A. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or as a

    B. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and

    C. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then:

    1. You are not required to have another medical examination as long as your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination, and the medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition, or if you did have a Class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility and have complied with the terms and conditions on the waiver.

    From the I-693 instructions page 4, Section III. 2, c, 2

    Even if a new medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original overseas medical examination report, you will have to have the vaccination report completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you are required to submit the vaccination record and page 1 of Form I-693.

    Do you need an I-693 immunization sheet? Is my DS-3025 filled out properly?

    Look at your DS-3025. If it has the ALL of the following items, you don't need an I-693 (Adults 19-49 yrs old).

    1. Shots marked with a date (at least one of a series)

    MMR (two are required but if you have "insufficient time interval" checked, then you get a waiver)

    Td or Tdap or DT or DTP or DtaP (One no longer than 10 years ago, ie.have a booster)

    Varicella or VH written by it if you had chickenpox

    Influenza (during flu season)** see note below because you are most likely okay without it.

    2. Everything else marked not age appropriate, insufficient time interval, not flu season...things that allow a waiver.

    3. RESULTS section filled in with "incomplete" and "may be eligible for blanket waiver" ticked or "complete" (but complete is rare).

    4. Signed and dated by the doctor

    If it's not completed EXACTLY like that then see a civil surgeon for the I-693. If it is complete, send a photocopy of your DS-3025. Almost isn't good enough. It needs to be filled out properly.

    The USCIS is supposed to have your K1 medical files, but sometimes lose them or fail to match them up with your AOS. Do not get another exam unless you get an RFE that says they do not have results of your medical. It means they lost them, but you are probably stuck with paying for a new exam. Those kinds of RFE's are not about the immunizations or the form I-693; they are because USCIS failed to match up your other medical exam results with your AOS application.

    **Note on flu shot: Flu shots are required for adults of all ages (changed Nov 2010) if your visa exam was between (Oct 1 and March 31). But if the AOS adjudicator picks up your case when it is not flu season, you will be excused. And the reverse is true. The adjudicator picks up your case during flu season, but sees it was NOT flu season when you had your medical exam, you are also excused because the date they go by is the date of your exam to determine if you were current on that date. Keep in mind that if you go to a civil surgeon for an I-693, then you are resetting the medical exam date for immunizations and you may have to get second doses of shots or a flu shot to become current on your new immunization date of record.

    What if I only had one dose of MMR and it's marked "insufficient time interval"? Do I need to another dose and must I see a civil surgeon before AOS?

    NO you do not need to see a civil surgeon unless USCIS loses the whole medical file you turned in at POE. If you were up to date the day that DS-3025 was signed, then you're okay without getting 2nd or 3rd doses. You can get them for your health, or you can not get them ever. It was not medically appropriate for you to get dose 2 on top of dose 1. There's a time interval for doses. So you get a waiver for "insufficient time interval" if that is marked on your DS-3025.

    If you are one of the unlucky ones with a lost medical, then you will have to get a full medical again. By then, enough time would have passed for dose 2 so expect the CS to say you need it. Hopefully it won't come to that.

    If you just chose not to get a second dose that was due (because it was more than 4 weeks since dose 1) then you wouldn't have that "insufficient time interval" waiver marked on your DS-3025. It was medically fine to have the second dose and you didn't. You aren't complete and have no waiver excuse.

    What if I don't have a DS-3025?

    If you are positive that you got the needed shots, then actually mailing in a DS-3025 photocopy is not necessary. The original form is with your other medical results and was turned over to USCIS at POE. That's actually the one that counts because it remained in the "chain of custody" so you didn't have an opportunity to alter it. The photocopy isn't really an official copy and is more for a reminder that you got complete at your visa exam. Of course without having a copy, you don't have the opportunity to see if the rest of the form was completed correctly.

    Omg, so detailed information i was looking for myself :idea: Thank you very much!!

    Hello again ,

    It is been 1 week and 6 months as we have been waiting for our NOA2 and hoping we will get it soon ( in couple of weeks). VJ Timeline says End August is getting approved from Texas. So we started to prepare all financial paper works like filling out i-134, W2 ,1040 and Employment Letter. The question is he worked overseas for last couple years and recently changed his Job, now he is in US. And Pay stubs he is going to get will be different than what is on W2 and 1040? Would it be problem?

    Hope Texas will start working fast after a long time

    Gulya, look at my time line,, we applied on December 2013 and got our NOA 2 only in 8 months later, i got to the US finally in November. Almost one year of the whole process. It is a long journey, and quite unfair time wise. So patience and patience. Calling them wont do anything unless you are beyond the normal processing time posted by USCIS on the website. But you ll get approved eventually if you have all documents right, your relationship is genuine and you have no bad immigration or criminal background. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions, since we are both from KGstan, yu might have some specific questions :)

    Hello again, my previous message was moved as it was in russian :oops: , so glad you replied, i might need some advise from you and have some questons:

    In which clinic did you get you medical and which hotel did you stay closer to clinic? did you have kids with you or it is just you? and do you know any good hotels closer to us embassy? i know it is early but i am just hoping that we get approved soon :innocent:

    Thank you for our time :help:
