yes, k1 they just use it as a guide. It's not officially enforced like it is for AOS. You also submitted it previously to embassy, not USCIS

"It"? 

You do not submit I864 for K1 visa at all. K1s require I134s at DOS embassy level.

@K1visaHopefuljust got wifes EAD and AP combo approval today. Just to avoid confusion with the EAD do i need to go to SSA office and get a new SSC for my wife with my last name on it? Or will SSA send me a new one with my last name?

I'm not going to scroll up and read the rest of the thread that I asked to be closed off weeks ago so please take that into consideration as, if I remember correctly, I've answered this several times. 

I'm only answering this question I've quoted.

If SHE applied for her EAD in her new married name and marked the correct boxes on the I765 for a replacement SSN card to be sent to her after EAD approval, an SSN card will be shipped from SSA HO in MD within a few weeks. 

It will not come from your local SSA office. 

Your local SSA office will have no knowledge on her I765 approved SSN coming directly from SSA HO so do not contact them. 

If it doesn't not come within 2 weeks of the EAD ARRIVAL, not approval, you may contact SSA HO in MD. Not before. SSA HO 800# is available online.

well.. her mother has been in and out of the hospital lately.. I'm just trying to think ahead.. I should tell her to bring notes from her mother doctors

You should. They'd outline both, her terminal illness details and her life expectancy.

Expedite criteria for AP is very strict. 

Unless her mother is terminally ill and can prove it with a doctor's note, it wouldn't be granted. She can TRY but it's doubtful. 

They only other way to expedite AP and almost guarantee an approval is to provide a death certificate for a parent, sibling or child (no other relative or friend applies) so the immigrant can attend a funeral. 

Current AP timelines are listed on the website. NBC is the SC.

A K2 arrives in the US as a derivative to their K1 parent's visa. 

A K2 will not have an alien number until their own first, individual immigration benefit is approved.

N/A is your answer.

Unless you can prove domestic abuse there is no way to obtain your GC.

Please fill out your VJ timeline.

I believe I've read about people successfully using offer letters on these things,

An offer letter MIGHT (not to be used lightly) be accepted for someone briefly inbeteen jobs who had already met the previous three years FPGLs as proven by their taxes which proves stable employment income. I'd go as far to say as ab offer letter might be acceptable for I134 but we aren't talking about that in this case. 

If you read through the instructions, they do recommend 6 months of current paystubs and for the exact reason of when employment history is not stable. 

You must remember, you are going to be financially responsible for your immigrant for up to 10 years (or until they become a citizen). They will be looking at that and weighing your viability.

Assets deplete. 

Employment history shows stability.

Time to find that joint sponsor. 

...Last comment from me as your timeline is still blank and you've had the chance to do that since November too.

I am glad you were successful like I told you so countless times 

https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/820190-request-for-evidence-on-i-485-regarding-i-864/

Seeing that your timeline is unecessarily blank, I am going to go by what you have said in your post (that you (since YOU went to the medical) are a CR1 visa APPLICANT and not a US petitioner) and have moved your post to the appropriate CR1 VISA forum as you've incorrectly posted it in the K visa AOS forum. You're likely to receive more help over there.

Your situation is quite rare though so you may need to direct your enquiry to the I601 forum instead. Let us know. 

In the meantime:

1.

2. You can read through the I601 process on the I601 forms webpage.

The flowchart link explains the process:

https://www.uscis.gov/i-601

PS. I601 processing times could add 2 extra years to your process.

Please do the above in numerical order. 🙂

By what you've described, their claim is not incorrect. 

You did not submit the correct document and even IF you miss labeled the translation wrong, that is on whomever translated them. 

A Basic Certificate (Detailed) was requested in RFE but instead a document titled Identification Certificate (Detailed) was sent which they did not ask for. 

1. Regardless of CONTENT, if the title was not translated properly it would not be accepted.

2. What was accepted by the embassy is irrelevant.

Their refusal is not wrong.

We are now working with our attorney to figure out how to move forward, but I'm a little worried after they asked me whether or not those are the right Korean documents (they are), and advised we retain a Korean attorney so that they can attest that these are in fact the ones asked for in the RFE.

That's a superb idea and should have been done in the first place. A Korean IMMIGRATION attorney at least to decipher the language barrier for document interpretation.

Not sure why you are worried about your lawyer trying to do the right thing. I mean you did come in here asking non Korean reading ppl the same thing. 

The visa reciprocity documents website for Korea is, not surprisingly, blank so we would not have been able to confirm document types anyways.

I thought that is what I was paying them for...

To read Korean?

The document you submitted didn't match the very specific RFE request according to the translation.

Questions...

• Did USCIS not like the translation of the title? Correct.

• Did USCIS make a mistake? It's doubtful unless you translated the title of the document incorrectly yourself and in that case, that still would not be their mistake. 

• Does she leave the country and start another process? No. She refiles I485 properly with a concurrent I130.

• Do we file a motion to reopen, or motion to reconsider? Neither. They didn't make the mistake. 

 

One dose of any vaccine is only required to complete DS3025.

It is one's CHOICE to complete the series of a vaccine and has nothing to do with immigration requirements. 

You can read through the immigration vaccine requirements on the CDC website.

I'd believe it when I saw an update.

Processing times for I485 are local field office dependant.

Use the website above to monitor that timeline and any other future applications noting that WHERE each is processed is firm dependent. 

PS. Your VJ timeline is not complete so we cannot look it up for you.

my wife did arriv8e on a B1 visa and did an AOS

 

i called USCIS already and they will call me back within 72hrs to schedule an appointment 

 

Then please correct your timeline or create a new profile as yours says you were DCF I130 filing AND post in the correct forum for your situation in future as you are not a K1.

You seem to be prioritizing the ADIT stamp when there is valuable info for YOU that I asked you about in my comments. It is ILLEGAL to not change your address with USCIS when you move. 

Ensure your immigrant is educating themselves on their process if you are unable to keep up.

Can someone move this please? I still cannot.

Unfollowing.

GC was sent while we were away from home for a few months. someone was supposed to be hanging on to our mail but they did a bad job. since USCIS never told us it was sent (and i kept calling to ask)

You would have received an email or text notification when you signed up for your online account. No need to call. 

5 hours ago, steve-phuket said:

we didn't know to ask that person to be on the lookout for it.

yes, AOS approved Dec14 last year

yes, we moved, now in NY was approved in NC

Likely why you didn't receive it. 

You changed your address by filing an online AR11 for the immigrant and mailed in a paper I865 for yourself,  correct?

5 hours ago, steve-phuket said:

yes did e-request for I90

That's not the process. You'd have to file an e-request to report the missing GC.

I90 filing is only AFTER you are told your e-request couldn't be honored. 

5 hours ago, steve-phuket said:

yes I765 and I131 was approved last year

 

i'll call USCIS today and ask about the ADIT I551 thing

 

ADIT is requested online. Google "USCIS infopass" and the latest procedure will come up. No need to call. 

It's a paper insert for her passport. In person appointments are rarely done now.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE correct your timeline!!!!

You have responders thinking you arrived on an immigrant visa, not a K1 solely because the information in your timeline I hugely incorrect. 

Can you explain how her GC never arrived?

Your timeline says you were not a K1 but if you were a K1 (because you are posting in a K1 forum) did you apply for AOS? (If you are a K1 fix your timeline please).

When?

Was AOS approved? And you just didn't receive the GC in the mail after approval...

Did you move?

Did you place a e-request for missing document before filing I90?

Did you also apply for I765 and I131 and were approved?

Do I need to do anything with that confirmation, or is it more just for my peace of mind.

The immigrant should carry the shipping receipt and passport as "proof of status" until they get Noa1.

Then they should carry passport and Noa1.

7 minutes ago, vivster said:

I assume the 30 days will also be whenever they take the payment through the G-1450 as well then.

Noa1 is the paper receipt notice that comes in the mail. 

Noa1 is not the text and/or email received when one submits G1145 nor is it any status notification on any USCIS website notifying the account holder of updates.

Noa1 is on paper and comes in the mail. 

Noa1 can take up to 30 days from when the shipment was received not sent before you are eligible to place an email enquiry to the Lockbox.

Your proof of filing is your shipping receipt. 

The K1 visa expires the moment you use it to enter the US.

Please join your AOS filing month thread.

Only one dose of any series is currently required to complete the DS3025.

Completing the series of any vaccine is a PERSONAL choice and has zilch to do with immigration policy.

And even if you aren't eligible or able to get a required vaccine at your PP appointment, there are waivers for that.

It's not a complicated as made out to be.

Read through the CDC immigration vaccine requirements page. Easy Google.

my understanding is the I need 6 total passport photos for each immigrant (2 photos to attach to each form). Is that correct or am I misunderstanding the directions?

That is correct.

2 for I485.

2 for I765

2 for I131.

6 in total per petitioner.

Yes , multiple choices allowed. Remember the form is used by Sponsor / Petitioner who MUST check  yes for the principal K-1 AND Q 2 for K-2 family members. Those may accompany OR follow to join …

Additionally Joint Sponsors use the same form and they may only be needed for SOME of the immigrants. …example Petitioner/ Sponsor can cover K-1 and one child , a Joint Sponsor would only come in for Fam Member 2.

Yes that's the part where I'm confused because no where in the instructions does it say you can check more than one box UNLESS you choose "NO" and I never have because my understanding was that you couldn't. They definitely need to include punctuation after each question to claim "and".

10 minutes ago, TUC said:

Ok I think this answers my question. Since I’m the original I-864 I checked both boxes and put my wife as principal immigrant and k2 children and additional people immigrating. 
 

so then a photocopy should be sufficient. 
 

although maybe there a multiple correct answers. Im sure if I chose to check only box one on my wife’s I-864. Then only box 2 on the I-864 for each K2, then it may work too. Idk

That was always my understanding so that's why I have explained it as I have. Sorry to confuse if I haven't been clear but I think you understand what I meant.

i think I’m just going to stick with checking both boxes and submitting photocopy method. 

Your call entirely. I've never had an issue either.

You did not specify any other timeframe, which makes it a statement about the present.

My comment was obviously to clarify whether or not the DS3025 was complete as that's what this post is about. 

58 minutes ago, M plus D said:

Also, if you believe that that is a factor for accuracy, why didn't you ask OP when the medical exam was performed?

Hmm I wonder I why I asked the OP to fill out their timeline more than once...

58 minutes ago, M plus D said:

You are the one who initially failed to ask this and take it into consideration. That is, if you were truly considering that at the time. To me, it looks like another attempt to retro-actively legitimize misinformation.

58 minutes ago, M plus D said:

You also didn't specify whether you meant a Civil Surgeon's instructions or a Panel Physician's instructions. Yes, they differ.

Perhaps you should reread the post and see that the questions were posed to determine completeness of the DS3025. The OP got it. And they responded with their understanding. 

58 minutes ago, M plus D said:

Perhaps, if you do not want people to make wrong assumptions about what you mean, you should try to be more precise with your information.

All I did was ask a question so you could see that the answers varied. 

Covid wasn't even in question however at one point in recent time (which could have affected the OP by not knowing their timeline) Covid was the 2 dose vaccine exception to the one dose rule that had been in place "forever" for overseas medical exams. The DS3025 completeness was the question. Not what will be required now.
