Hi,

usually Civil surgeon goes for PPD test .(Skin Injection test to demonstrate) . if it gets red means positive and then you have to go for chest X ray.If PPD test is negative (skin does not get red) . then you do not need to get x ray.

Note:It is duty of civil surgeon to fill I 693 completely and he determines which test is required for you.

Ans

thanks folks

Hi,

is there any interview for EAD and AOS Biometrics? is it joint interview or only the AOS applicants has to go for that?

Ans

Question, on the envelope who do your direct it to? eg, Attention: Department of Homeland Security? What do you put?

I used one cover page which was addressed to department of homeland security for all documents.

Ans

Hi,

i recently sent my documents .i used four envelops( letter sized orange envelop)

Envelop 1 = I 130 + supporting docs+ fee

Envelop 2= I 485 + Supporting documnets+ fee

Envelop 3 = I 864 + supporting documents

Envelop 4 = I 765 + supporting documents+ fee

I used one cover letter for all of above mentioning content of each envelop . and to be on safe side i wrote content of each envelop on the enveolp side.Moreover supporting documents were repeated in each envelop. Like you need G325 A for I 485 and also for I 130 in my case. So i had G325 A in both of these envelops. Passport copies were required by I 485 and I 765 forms. So i had copies in both of them for example.

Then I went to post office and used legal sized envelop of Priority mail and put all envelops in that and posted them with signature confirmation receipt. My application was recevied by chicago lock box next day.

MAKE SURE TO APPROPRIATELY GIVE THE FEE OF EACH APPLICATION

If you need any help let me know

Hello,

My case status has not changed since I was sent a RFE May last year. I have since gone for my interview and the message still remained the same.

At that point I realized that I would not be one of the lucky ones to receive an email notification that my case has been approved. After calling the hotline and visiting the Federal Building here in New York to find out the status of my case and I was told NOTHING!!! other than WAIT!!!! The interviewing officer wrote in my passport, approved pending and he signed his name and dated it. My question was pending what?

Frustrated, I tracked down the officer who interviewed me at Garden City and I gave him a call this morning, he asked for my A Number. He said that, he approved me on that day and I should be receiving my card any day from now and apologized for the lack of any kind of update on the internet.

I was surprised that he actually picked up the phone and was very courteous (my wife was worried that I being too assertive and calling him would make him mad) and I forgot to ask him what to do with my EAD which expires next week (Renew or wait for the green card)?

Well at least I know it is approved and since the card and letter will just show up in my mail box one of these days. I just have to wait and see when the USCIS decides to send me my card.

So I guess no more venting for now; at least for another month.

Hi,RFE sent on MAy 15 last year ( medical request) What was that? was that I 693 or some thing different. ?????

Congrats of filing. You will get NOA in a week or two, follwed by biometric appointment, followed by interview, followed by green card.

Good luck. I wish you speedy processing.

Alex

THANKS

I sent my I 485, I 130, I 765 packets today to chicago lock box office. Now what should I expect now ?

Ans

NON US citizen should fillout I 485 along with other supporting documents.

Best wishes

Ans

My spouse asked me what to write in part 22 of 1 130.

This asks about local center where your alien relative is going to appear .I told my spouse to write chicago , IL .

but in next line saying

If your relative is not eligible for adjustment of status, he or she will apply for a visa abroad at the American consular post in .....................(city) ......................(country)

What should my spouse write in this space.

If some body has any experience regading this issue just let me know....?Should i write my native country consular post. But i do not think so i can leave this United states. I am living with my wife happily. She is pregnant and i need to stay with her.

Just leeting you know (or reminding) that this is your option to submit tax returns from 3 yaers or only 1.

based on uscis.gov:

"Special Instructions:

All sponsors must submit the following documentation with their I-864:

Proof of current employment or self employment

A photocopy or an Internal Revenue Service-issued transcript of a photocopy or an Internal Revenue Service-issued transcript of your complete Federal income tax return for your most recent tax year, or an explanation if it is not submitted. Your W-2s and/or 1099 forms may also be required, see the I-864 instructions for details.

You may also, at your option, submit a photocopy or an Internal Revenue Service-issued transcript of your complete Federal income tax returns for your second and third most recent tax years if you believe these additional tax returns may help you establish the ability to maintain your household income at the governing threshold set forth in Form I-864P, Poverty Guidelines.

If you are using the income of persons in your household or dependents to qualify as a sponsor, you must also submit a separate Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, for each person whose income you will use."

And it is not required to subit alien's birth certificate for I-130 (according to instructions on the form). But - it is your choice and nothing wrong will happen if you will submi it. It is better to add more then miss something

Good luck

REGARDING sponsors for ALIEN RELATIVES:

ALIEN ( ME ) got three sponsors,.

my spouse ( not eligible)

Uncle+ her wife ( have joint tax returns and living in same house hold )

Now pleaselet me know do any of my sponsors need to submit I 864 A beside I 864.

Thnaks

Thanks dear. Tomorrow is most important day for me. And i hope not to receive RFE . We both are submitting I 130, I 485, I 765 , ( AOS on tourist visa) with all required attachments in separate envelops and then putting them in big envelope through USPS with return receipt request to chicago lock box. ANd then hope for best.If still any suggestions do let me know. I have included three cover letters. One in I 485 envelop from Alien relative that is me. One cover letter from my spouse( US citizen) which is in I 130 envelop and third one is from both of us which is for all envelops . IS it enough or i need some other precautionary measures?

I am little bit tense how ever.

Ans

Not sure if it makes a difference, but the USCIS recommends stapling the checks to the forms rather putting them in envelopes.

THANKS and any more suggestions welcomed

Im just here

What? i did nt get you ' I am here'

Here's the official guide.

"

http://uscis.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/nbc....htm#FilingTips

Thanks, i read through whole material in the link. It clearly contradicts with many points of Visa journey guidelines. For example NBC does not like forms to be attached and assembled with ACCO fastners. They require separate money order checks for each file , and collective fee is not accepted as it is mentioned like this

Please refrain from using “ACCO” style fasteners and/or staples (However, it is ok to staple the fee to the top of the primary application package.)

If one financial instrument is submitted, it needs to be attached to the first primary application/petition and needs to contain the name of the applicant to whom it relates. Please note that if more than one Form is filed using a single check and just one is found to be unacceptable, ALL Forms will be returned.

okay

Ans

I am filing for AOS and also I 130 .Can any body help me how to assemble application. I looked for VJ guidelines too. Please clarify these things to me.

1. Is it okay to have 2 punch holes on all application pages and bind them with paper fastner?.

2.so how many files we need ? ( my package includes ,I485,G 325 A( 2 sets) , I 130 , I 765 ,I 864 (sponsor) I 864 (co - sponsor) , I 864 A, I 94 , passport photo copies , maarrige certificate, photoes, tax returns )..a cover letter, money order, birth cerificate )

3.Please let me know the best way to assemble my package.

Thanks

Ans

if you need co sponsor use both if not just the I-864

goodluck

Yes off course i need joint sponsor as my wife cannot sponsor me alone on the basis of her income and assets. so her uncle is sponsoring so i think i need to get both I 864 and I 864 A?
