K1visaHopeful

Strongly recommend you join your monthly I485 filing thread where you can peruse through the common questions about each form that filers encounter every month. It's the best resource available on VJ to help each other through the process.

Important to check the K1 completed etc box is marked on bottom left corner. Nope you are not wrong. If all is complete, you don't. IOs are not familiar with the K1 exemption and often need a prodding at the interview by you showing them the actual USCIS I693 policy manual stating so. I693 cost is $1k plus. RFE from uneducated Adjudicator or IO (not RFE after interview but all the same) will delay minimally. IMO, why would you redo your medical by SMALL chance your adjudicator or IO if interviewed is an imbecile? (Unless you are a perfectionist of course...) I don't have $1K to throw around for something that is likely not to happen. Just because you see it happening doesn't mean it ISN'T happening MOST OF THE TIME. Those would have 0 reason to post about it, right? If the instructions state the applicant must fill out? Or if the doctor must? My phone is loaded with downloaded forms and instructions and I'm unavailable to read them for you as I'm driving but if check out that resource first always. Many posts on the topic. "K1 I693" in the search bar would likely be a good basic resource to do research.

Trying to wrap my head around why you are presuming it would be confusing... K1s come to the US and input their address as one thing on the DS160 and then move before submitting I485. There is no crime in that. The policy is to file an AR11 (online or mail) whenever an immigrant changes places of residence WITHIN 10 days of moving. WITHIN meaning 10 days before or at max, after. File an AR11 and submit your case. You'll need your Noa1 receipt notice to get to you, right?

Rights in what sense? You don't have to get him an apartment however his immigration journey is his own and there isn't anything you can do to hinder it unless you have valid proof that your marriage and relationship was a scam from the start AND you knew it and played a role in the scam but likely that could get you into trouble as well.

Please fill out your VJ timeline as reciprocated to membership on VJ. Your explanation is not detailed. We have no info of your current status as your timeline is blank and guessing what yours is would be a disservice to others perusing your thread for info in future and those of us that help now's, time.

Ask what the error is so you know how to proceed. They can't not help you but you have to be reactive and ask questions.

Local Field Office. Determined by zipcode. Where you will be interviewed or who will approve your application. That's it. You have to input your info and then submit to get estimate info and then scroll to the bottom to enter Noa1 info to get outside of normal processing times actual date at the moment you searched.

And the rest of the status below that does not indicate WHEN and HOW to contact after that? It would be most accurate to follow what it says there. No relation. Your I131 is on a parallel path not the same path. A status change for it is for it alone. You can easily check whether or not you are coming up to be outside of normal processing times for it on the website which would make sense for the status update. Be careful of the wording as RFEs are generic to ALL applications. It likely stipulates online filers are eligible to reply online without clearly stating as such. An I485 cannot be filled online at this time so to be safe, I485 RFEs should be responded to by mail. To be safe, I'd contact Ask Emma Live Chat and confirm both that your RFE documents were received and the same for your enquiry. As others have stated, RFEs are not responded to. The next step is interview (likely) or approval without interview (unlikely). Your timeline is based on LFO which again, can easily be found on the USCIS processing times website. You can even input your Noa1 date to see when currently, you may be coming up to being outside of normal processing times. That estimate is as good as it gets.

What does your complete status on the official USCIS webpage state? If it's changed to "RFE Yada response docs Yada received", it will state on the bottom of the status WHEN you are eligible to contact and how. Your RFE letter also likely stated the procedure and timeline. Suggest you check your photocopy of it and your status. *it's usually 90 days from response received status you call so you likely inquired too soon and by wrong method of contact. Also note that unless you filed an application online, you should be mailing RFE responses in. Although you are ABLE to submit your response online that doesn't mean you were ELIGIBLE to do that. Check the above and clarify clearly what your status states and then I can advise further. It's not clear whether your RFE was even received and if that's the case you have a more urgent issue.

If you did not receive a document stating what was required for you to submit to have your I485 approved, how would you know that's what's required? That's why I'm confused. No one leaves an interview without documentation of recommendation of approval or approval pending required submission(s). Why did you not? Or did you? And you are not clear about what it says on it and how to proceed? This whole post is going back and forth referring to what's received AT the interview as an RFE. Anything received at or after the interview is not an RFE either so for clarity's sake and other who will read this and will also start mistakenly refer to requests at or after the interview as RFEs in error, I'm attempting to correct that misinformation. You will not ever receive an RFE as you have already been interviewed. You will have received a document AT your interview stating recommendation for approval or a list of what needs to be submitted. That is not an RFE. The document you received at your interview will explain how to submit and pending submissions.

The document you received after interview is not an RFE. Again, RFEs are only sent out BEFORE the interview not after. The document you receive at the interview is NOT an RFE and should never be referred to as such to prevent confusion for newbies. You will receive nothing from USCIS after the interview other than what you received AT IT so if you are waiting for something ADDITIONAL from USCIS to comply with you will be waiting forever.

You were a K1? You posted in the K1 forum.... You will not get an RFE. RFEs are for the process between application and pre interview. You've been interviewed. You would have received a document AT YOUR INTERVIEW that states what you are missing AND how to comply. You will never receive an RFE as you've already been interviewed.

That's enough

Nothing important. Once approved for I485, I765 will discontinue processing. Why? Because I485 supercedes I765. You don't need I765 any more.

Your wife came to the US without her own copy of her foreign BC?

Google: "USCIS filing fees". *join your monthly AOS Filing thread so you can ask basic questions to your peers who are co filing with you.

Which address you send it to depends on the method of shipment which you have not mentioned.

Only one dose of any vaccine excluding Covid (vaccine requirements are based on age, which you haven't mentioned either) is required. You also have not posted the most important page where our says if they completed the requirement as a K1.

You don't have to explain why you took a trip. You should use it sparingly.

If you are outside of the allowable response window, absolutely not. Ask Emma what your status is. That's what she is for.

I485 is a paper application that is mailed. That means you must mail in your RFE response and should not attempt to upload online. Online upload is for online applications. I stand by my WORD with this no matter what anyone says here and tells you theirs was accepted when they responded online. They do not have to accept it. Ensure your response was received by using Ask Emma. Also ensure you have submitted a clear photocopy of the STAMPED or RAISED SEAL MC. It must have a stamp or seal and it must be a copy that shows it. If it's a seal, it helps to set the photocopier to darken the copy so the seal is clearly viewable as authentic.

Normal. Just means they opened your file 2x's. Could be for any reason.

Relevant or not, that's what you can expect and the only thing you could plan with. Explain your timeline now knowing what we have told you. How is it all going to work?

Articles are written in the perspective of the moment and could not be accurate for THIS moment. In THIS moment when I checked it for you, the USCIS processing times website states 80% of I131s at the NBC (where K1s AOSers go) currently take 11.5 months meaning 20% take longer. Times fluctuate constantly. It could jump and she'd be 6 months pregnant. Then what would you do? Learning how to use the website will give you your best estimate. You'll need to learn how to use it for the rest of her immigration journey unless she wants to instead. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Advanced Parole ie. I131 can take up to a year to get as processed at NBC. GC may come even faster than that (or slower) depending on processing times of your local field office. You can monitor both estimated times on the website. If she leaves the country without approval of one or the other BEFORE she leaves, she cannot return to the US without filing for a spousal visa (which takes 1 to 2 years). She would have to wait overseas. A pregnancy is 40 weeks or less. That's less than a year. As you know you can't even really plan a real wedding without a K1. Planning for her to give birth overseas is not wise. Also AP is advised for short trips usually less than 3 months. IF she did get her AP, and decided to leave for her country, how would you time it so it would be a short trip? Unfortunately, you're thinking of the wrong end of the situation (the baby) rather than the mom.
