    AOS for K1 Medical Exam for form I-693

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Do you happen to know where on the USCIS website it states this? I would like to print it to bring it to my husband’s interview. He had his medical abroad for K1 (6 months before we submitted AOS), completed DS-3025 and provided a copy with our AOS (stating we were omitting I-693). I’m just concerned at our interview they will request I-693 and would like to be prepared. Thank you.

    I think there is one fine print... we had a DS 3025 completed .. but it had no flu shot on it.  So out of abundance of precaution, we went to see a local approved doctor to get the vaccination record on I-693 part 10.   Paid like $40 and doctor said.. flu season, need flu shot, another $50.

     

    Then doctor gave us a sealed envelope which we brought to interview on 2/8/21.

     

    Officer said our medical was good before accepting the sealed envelope, but he said the more the better, easier for him to approve.

     

    So... well... I can only conclude, do more better, u dont want a silly medical RFE to delay anything because of a officers error .

    Hi,when i checked my status on February 8th, it has changed and says "we scheduled your interview date and you should receive mail soon" but i checked status again (10th) and it says your interview has canceled.

    I live in Los angels. Is anyone in same situation? Do you know why it happened? Due to covid??

    You have 2 possible outcomes, a reschedule (likely) or a waiver (small chance).

    We just received a notice for my husband's marriage green card interview, which is scheduled next month.  We thought we had extra certified copies of our marriage certificate from when we filed the AOS form, but can't find them anywhere.  Currently because of COVID, the city clerk office where we got married is closed and only accepting mail-in requests for vital records copies, which can take 10-14 weeks.  Obviously this time table doesn't match up...so we were wondering if we could just give them the original copy of our marriage certificate at the interview?  And then we'd get the certified copy from the city clerk later in the mail to keep.  Not really sure what our options are here otherwise.  We already waited over a year for this interview to be scheduled, so we want to avoid rescheduling if possible.

    At our interview, they see the certified copy and return it.

    Other docs they asked whether they can keep it... we said no for grant deed and photos, and they just make copies on the spot.

     

    You are set... no problem.... just always order extra marriage certs... you never know when you need it.....

    RFE for influenza vaccine

    I ended up finding a civil surgeon who transcribed my wife's vaccination record for $40. A few weeks later I got another RFE because I was apparently missing pages 7-11. I didn't need to turn those pages in (only parts 1-5, 7 and 10) because I filed I-485 within one year of the overseas medical examination, which it specifically says in the I-693 instructions. :( I wasted $40 and now I have to pay ~$300 for another exam. I wish the people at USCIS knew how to do their jobs. 

    It is crazy and inconsistent.

    we filed in 2/2020, the DS3025 doesnt have flu shot.

    Interview was in 2/2021, although we have no RFE, we just went ahead and asked local dr for every shot needed and paid like $90 for a report and flu shot as its flu season.

    At the interview, no one even cares .. officer just said you haev DS3025 you are fine.... its valid til 5/2021

     

    so it varies...

    The interview date was 2/8/21, 

    EAD AP date was 7/15/2020

     

    The experience was, we arrived at 300 N Los Angeles at 230pm for a 245pm appt.   Went thru ground floor xray, go to 8th floor, go to the check in window, take temperature and wait to be called.     Was called finally at 350pm after a 1 hr sit and do nothing.

     

    Nice younger gentleman greeted us at DOOR 2, walked about 20m to his cubicle office.  He was nice enough to apologise for the wait due to more difficult cases.

    Asked for marriage cert, Passports and whether we have anything else for him.

    Handed 1040, House grant deed, HOA, Bk Statement, photos, Insurance docs and affidavit from colleague.

     

    Asked him whether he needs any more medical updates, he said if you have any .. please.   Handed over Additional Vaccination record from USCIS doctor in sealed envelope. this is the I-693 part 5-7 and 10 for vaccinations part only.  We did this in abundance of caution in case USCIS needed it.

     

    He appeared to be in a rush, checking off what we handed him, then quickly asked like 20 Are you terrorist, member of ... traffic human etc... Mostly NO answer type of questions.

     

    THEN he said.. that was easy... I cant approve you right now, as I have to do background check and verify the K1 file is consistent with the 485 file.

     

    Again rushing.. he said well probably you will hear something today....  and thank you for coming...

     

    wham bam.. in and out in like 15mins.

     

    By the evening at around dinner time, we received the approved email from USCIS..... now awaiting physical card.

     

    what a K1 to 485 journey.

     

    5/2019 to 2/2021

     

    Good luck to all of you.... 8-)

    add FAQ I-693

    Thanks.. but the problem is the comment B classification ( not sufficient time to administer 2nd dose) and D for Tdap.

    https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/ti/civil/vaccination-civil-technical-instructions.html

     

    As per requirements... we are missing MMR and Vacci 2nd dose and Tdap.

     

    as per FAQ on instructions of I-693, Q 2, we need complete vaccination.  Complete means?? 2nd dose + tdap?

     

    We made appoint with local doctor to get all jabs and update pg 10 of I-693 in case out of abundance of caution

     

    Good idea?.. total about $150 3 jabs and fill in form.

    We applied for marriage based AoS in April 2019.  We have been "ready to schedule" for interview since May 2019.  Our case is very straight forward.  No interactions w/ law enforcement, husband is Canadian, we both make decent money (he's a physician).  Major city field offices are backed up and each has different priorities.  Ours (Seattle) apparently prioritizes employment based AoS and N400s.  Sorry to say, but this is just the way it is currently. 

    We are April 9 ready for interview .. waiting.. no EAD no AP , I-94 expired...

    My friend got first GC without interview. Anyone else?

    Hello,

    I would like to know if this happens to everyone who applied for AOS and the initial interview was cancelled due to the Covid-19 because friend of mine who lives in WI and applied for AoS from K1 just got her first green card without interview yesterday. 

     

    Her scheduled interview was cancelled by USCIS and she was told that USCIS would notice them a date of rescheduled interview when the local office opens. I was told the same too. 

    Can we know the timeline please so we can track where USCIS is at for cancellation or issue of GC without interview

    I-485 past 90 days

    Hi all, 

     

    My fiancee came to USA on February 20th. We got married on April 18th (the delay was due to the pandemic). But it was fortunately within 90 days. However, we didn't get to send out the I-485 form within 90 days. We are freaking out because apparently that means my fiancee is no longer legal. We are working on finishing up everything and mailing it out very soon. What are the repercussions of us sending it out past 90 days? 

     

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently the I-485 will take a year to process? If so, does that mean my fiancee won't be legal for that long? Will she be deported? How do we prevent that from happening? 

     

    We would appreciate any input. Thank you!

    We arrived 12/27/19 married 12/29/19 applied 2/18/20, now K1 expired, no GC no EAD no AP.   We move around with Passport and I-797 NOA 1 receipt for I-485.   You need to apply ASAP to get the I-797, because without the NOA 1 for I-485, your wife can be detained and interviewed before released at immigration court or police station or ICE.  Eg:  traffic stop and you have no valid status so stupid policeman detain you and call ICE.

    AOS APPROVED AND GOT 10 yr GC instead of 2 yr!

    u got the wrong date printed on card.  System flags you as fiancee type, 2 year to upgrade card to 10 year card.   ie date is wrong on card, system has correct information.  Please follow what others have said, let them know to print you a new card.

     

    But I was thinking, you can also just not do anything, wait until like 21st month and then apply for the upgrade...  to 10 year card.  Maybe others disagree.
