    Medical desaster

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

    Posted

    I had my medical examination done in Germany in June 06 during my K-1 Visa application process.

    So I am one of the people who only need the I-693 A Vaccination Supplement Form filled in for the AOS application.

    This is where my trouble starts, I can't find a civil surgeon who is willing to do it.

    One told me point blank, I do it his way or no way and if I keep making trouble (yea right!), they might not do it at all.

    Now my husband called a few more doctors and we found one who said they would fill out the form if I bring proof, that I had the exam done already.

    In Germany the doctor never gave me a copy of the D-3025, I only have my vaccination record in a little book and I still have my chest x-ray.

    I called my parents to get in touch with the doc in Germany to see if they still have a record of me being there and I hope and pray, that they can still send me something.

    If not...any ideas what I can and should do now?

    In my opinion the doc could care less if I had the full medical exam done already, I mean, I don't want him to sign anything he didn't do as far as tests go, I just want him to transfer my vaccination record on that form. If that is not correct or enough, I guess the INS will get back with me, not him...

    Now I was wondering...since it is not the exam, could I go with that Supplement form to another doctor, ie. one on the AF base where my husband is stationed at?

    Any ideas, suggestions,...on what I can do now?? :help:

    I don't know at which doctor in Germany you had your medical, but I do know that the one in Frankfurt and in Hamburg is very helpful when it comes to send or fax a copy of the DS- 3025 to you.

    If they refuse it, tell them that on the bottom of the form is a reminder" Give copy to applicant".

    If they still refuse to give you that copy, you need to find a civil surgeon from the USCIS site..... and hopefully find one, who will transfer your records from your "Impfpass" to the I-693 form. It makes it easier, if your "Impfpass" is an international one.

    Even with my DS- 3025 it took us loooooooooooots of phonecalls to find a CS, who was willing to just transfer the information without giving me a whole new medical.

    Good luck to you!!!

    Super Fast NVC Processing

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    This is good news, I hope, for a lot of us.

    Yesterday, the NOA2 letter arrived in the mail with Notice Date of October 11. Today the NVC confirmed that the application arrived and was forwarded to the Manila embassy on October 18. We now have a NVC Case Tracking number as well.

    Strangely, the USCIS online status still shows not approved and their Customer Service supervisor told me that they don't have a procedure to contact CSC to correct this error. Oh what a relief to be finished with the CSC! :P

    Perhaps the delays in forwarding petitions from CSC to NVC have been resolved for a while. Just sharing some good news with you all as this website has been the ONLY place we have ever been able to get helpful information on what is happening in the Visa process.

    Congratulations on your NOA 2 :star:

    No DS-3025 from Frankfurt, will this work

    So now doing my research, I figure out we need the DS-3025, and we don't have it. Do you all think a CS would fill out the i-693a from german vacination records? Same difference in the end really.

    Thanks

    Scott

    You can call the doctor's office in Frankfurt and ask them to fax or send the DS- 3025 to you, I've heard that they are very friendly and helpful.

    I've also heard that there are CS, who are willing to to copy your German vaccination records (if international vaccination book") to the I-693a. You just would have to do lots of phonecalls to find the right CS, because most of them try to talk you into completing a new medical, which is of course not necessary, if you are in the 1-year timeframe.

    visiting US while petition pending

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    My fiancee is canadian citizen would like to visit me from vancouver canada.My petition for I129F is on hold due to name check. I have no criminal history of any kind. But they need further fbi name check.

    my fiancee was pregnant about 4 months. She visit me many time befor filing I129f.

    first question, does POE link her name with mine and know there is I129F pending?

    she has quite her job, she only have a canadian car, and rent a apartment in vancouver, does she likely to be refused to admit into us?

    if she is denied entry, deos it affect her k1 application?

    please help! any good lawyer recommended?

    It's always a risk to visit while the K1 process is running. I would provide the immigration officer with enough proof that she will return to Canada after visiting you.

    Good luck :star:

    POE Detroit - David is home!!

    in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America

    Posted

    David's entry was very straightforward on Monday. Seemed as though his was the only international flight that happened to arrive at that time, as there were no real delays during customs or immigration. At immigration, David presented his visa and handed over the Consulate packet. The IO asked how long we'd known each other before he opened the packet. Once the packet was opened, he looked at some of the details and asked David to wait while he consulted with a colleague. He seemed to get the answer he needed and came back tell David, "You have 90 days, don't forget." David said, "I know", and the officer said, "Congratulations."

    Since it took David almost 2 hours to clear customs and immigration last time, I planned my arrival at Detroit so that I was there only 45 minutes after his flight arrival time. He was, however, waiting with coffee in hand when I entered the international arrivals area. Took him only about 30 minutes to clear this time.

    And now we have no more 'good byes' ahead of us, which is still taking a bit to get used to....

    Thanks, everyone, for your support and congratulations! SSN is our next official task, which will be in about 2 weeks. Until then, we will be wrapping up wedding plans. Going for our marriage license today!!

    I probably won't be logging on much over the next few weeks.... :blush:

    Congratulations and enjoy your reunion :star:

    mew & 1HappyGuy

    thanks for letting me know.

    another thing, as i am female do i still send the DS-157 back to the embassy?

    I'm female too and I called the consulate in Frankfurt to ask, if I'm supposed to fill out the DS- 157 and they said yes.

    Since it is not much work to fill it out, just do it and you'll be on the safe site :star:

    Photos Question

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Quick question. I will be sending photos as my secondary evidence for my I-129 form. I took the photos with my digital camara. I have them uploaded on my computer. I will print them out on photo paper. Is this ok? Also I will date each photo on the back with a pen. Anything else needed to do with the photos??

    I did the same, but I printed them out on regular paper, 4 photos on 1 page, 3 pages total. :star:

    Waiting for my visa

    in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

    Posted

    My fiancee applied for the petition last dec 8, 2006 and was approved feb 2006. July 28, 2006 I had my interview and they ask me to submit a copy of my adjustment of status from my previous visa. Last 2001, I went to US as fiancee visa also. I was petitioned by my ex-husband. It didnt work so I went back to Phil with my kids. During my stay in US. We got married 3 days after my arrival and file for adjustment of status. Feb 2002, I was scheduled for my ineterview at INS but I wasnt able to go bec I didnt have my appointment letter and I dont know the exact date. My in-laws held all papers. I decided to go back to the Phils on Dec 2002. Now, I wasnt able to submit a copy of I-485 (adjustment of status) to the consul but instead letter of explainaton why I cant submit it. I requested a copy of it in Missouri where the record center of INS and they inform me that it will take forever to receive the document. It's been 6 weeks after I submitted my letter of explaination. I've been calling US embassy hotline but it is costing me a lot since the cost is P55/min.. According my story, will I still be possible for me to get a visa?

    Pls I need inform me the rules

    If they asked you for a copy of your AOS from your previous visa and you can't get, I would suggest to ask an immigration attorney for advice.

    I'm not sure if the more experienced members here can answer your question :unsure:

    After NO2

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted · Edited by Maples

    Our case has been approved september 26th.

    Until now we did not get any informations about our case.

    My fiance called the NVC yesterday but they did not receive our case yet (after 2 weeks).

    I would like to call the NVC, is it possible to call them at the weekends too?

    It is so frustrating not to know how much longer it will take until the case will be forwarded to the embassy.

    We are waiting for the note of NVC that they have forwarded the case to the embassy so my fiance will

    send me the documents I need for package 3 and 4 (since the date should be close to the interview date).

    Can anybody tell me what in the world take them so long??

    :(

    Patience, patience :) It can take 2-4 weeks for the petition to arrive at the NVC.
