Well, everything is moving along. We are waiting for the medical to come back (blood work). I believe the entire package should be able to go out this week.

Then the waiting begins again =)

Care to eloborate garya505?

Hi Everyone,

While calling around for the medical exam, most offices don't have appointments available for another month! Will try other offices in the area.

The quest continues...

I've paid for all forms submitted with a personal check and the government never had a problem cashing it =)

Thanks meauxna. That answers the SSN# questions =)

So it sounds like its best to get the medical done on the I-693 and then send in the complete package. I guess its only a few more days if we can schedule something this week at one of the USCIS physician office.

I don't mind the comments. It's all constructive and you learn and move on to the duty at hand. I like to hear honest opinions rather than something else.

Thanks for all the comments.

Hopefully everything will be completed by today. The big question is do I send the package now or wait until the medical is done?

Also can we apply for a SSN# at this time. From what I read it may be difficult since the K1 expired.

Thanks for the advice everyone. This forum has such a helpful crowd.

So that I am clear, on part 2 of I-485, I should indicate (a) an immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number has been approved...(nevermind, I answered my own question after re-reading the above post =)

Should we wait to have the medical done and submit the entire package or send the package first and wait for the RFE on the medical? Which do you think would offer the quickest route?

OP=Offending Party???

I appreciate the comments. It is the law and I thought perhaps there was some "wiggle room" there but it doesn't look like it. I could try to write a letter to the Director but I think it would be meaningless.

I made the mistake and if this is what it takes to take care of it so be it.

Any help on the previous set of questions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the comments, it is what it is and I accept full responsibility.

While working through form I 485, Part 2 Application Type. None of the items apply, what should I indicate for the Adjustment of permanent residence reason???

Is there a particular wording to use in this situation?

Thanks in advance.

Also what do I indicate as the current USCIS staus?

Thanks again everyone. Will be working on this during the weekend and hopefully we can get the I-693 done during next week. We can use the copies of the original I-129 for reference =)

This was a major mistake on our part, we have to start over again =(

Thanks everyone for the guidance. Missing the 90 day window cause me more trouble than anticipated. I think we would have been approved by now if not for this technicality =( It is our fault...

I want to confirm with anyone reading this thread.

1. There is no leniency on this matter

2. Filing the described forms is the quickest route to AOS.

Everyone have a nice weekend.

BTW, This is a great website, how do we support it?

Thanks for the quick replies.

It was only 3 days! I'm guessing there is no leniency with this?

Some questions:

1. I have to file everything in the above link?

I-130

G-325a

I-864

I-485

I-765 (optional)

I-131 (optional)

2. Can my spouse stay in the US. while this is being processed?

3. All the forms can be filed at the same time?

I'm sure there will be more questions, thanks again for all the help here. This is a great website.

The reason for the Notice of Decision Denied was because we did not marry within the 3 month window of K1 visa. Due to the 2005 holidays and prior business commitments , we did not realize the 3 month window had passed us by (I know very dumb on our part ). We always intended to marry but have ceromonies and celebrate later when we could plan it properly.

We only missed the 3 month window by 3 days. The Notice of Decision states there is no appeal but we can file a motion to reopen with form I290-b. The form seem to be an appeal form which is contrary to the notice. Will we just be throwing away the $385 fee?

Has anyone have experience with this or is there another route to take. Thanks for any guidance.
