K1visaHopeful

Thread moved to the appropriate forum "Bringing Family Mrmbers of US Citizens to America" as you are not a K1 AOSer.

Vaccinations are a choice. If you weren't immigrating to the US, you'd choose whether or not to be vaccinated. Other organizations like school or employment in some countries require vaccines too. My issue is not understanding what you aren't understanding because when I ask a direct question I get no response to be able to help you. If you are asking about school vaccines, I can move this post over to a forum where you can get answers about everyday life in the US as an immigrant. I am answering from the K1 AOS IMMIGRATION perspective as that's where you've posted this. I485 instructions state when anyone applying for a AOS would have to submit their medical documents. It also explains the K1 exception to having to do that. Other AOSer who are not K1s OR who ARE K1s who have not completed their vaccinations (which still could be you but you haven't answered clearly) are required to complete a medical in the US by a civil surgeon and to submit an I693. WHEN that is to be done is clarified in the I693 instructions. That MAY BE YOU so after you've examined your DS3025 for completeness and read through the policy manual on how DS3025s are evaluated to ensure yours IS or ISN'T complete, AND determined IF you need an I693 or not, it would be wise to read through the I693 instructions too to know WHEN to complete and WHEN and HOW to submit. As we can't see your records, you're going to have to do the researching.

Amazeballs! So the checkbox is now on page 2 of the 2 pages I stated instead of page 1 of the 2 pages I stated. Still shouldn't be too hard to self clarify for the OP then.

Please read the checkbox on your DS3025 for self clarity. First page. Bottom left. "K visa applicant voluntary completed vaccination requirements" will be checked if complete. What you have explained/extra pages (the DS3025 Vaccination record has 2 pages)/disclaimer needing to do more vaccines could simply be a doctor's RECOMMENDATIONS and have nothing to do with immigration. Only your adjudicator will be able to clarify whether your Panel Physician completed the form adequately. They do have guidelines that they must adhere to when judging the PPs ability to fill it out correctly. You can read through those guidelines in the USCIS manual for vaccination requirements. Please also indicate clearer if you are asking about immigration or everyday life living in the US (school vaccinations) so your thread can be moved to the correct forum.

Fill out your completely blank VJ timeline please. Your reciprocity is appreciated.

Also ENSURE the financial data you enter into your I864 MATCH WHICHEVER of the two options of tax documents you chose to submit. That's likely why you got an RFE too. They aren't going to fish through a pile of unnecessary financial documents to figure out where you got your numbers from on the I864. Submit the EXACT documents that you used to fill in the boxes on your form. The LESS proof the better. QUALITY over quanity.

Only what was requested. You submitted duplicates of the same document. 1. A 1040 is not a complete tax return. All pages and schedules of the federal return IS. 2. If you had wanted to submit a complete federal tax return and the earning statements reported on it ie W2 or 1099, youd submit THAT not both the above AND transcripts Sounds like you have a strict Adjudicator who called you out for not following the "OR" in the instructions. Ensure you reread them and scour BOTH the many threads on GENERIC I864 RFEs and your forms to clear up any mistakes you may have.

If the DS3025 is MARKED complete and IS complete, no revaccination nor compeltion of any vaccination series is required in the US unless your adjudicator requests via RFE (due to their ignorance) and provided you FILE I485 within one year of the OG overseas medical exam. Those are the facts that matter which you haven't mentioned. (I did not read your whole post).

If you're worried about that you applied under the wrong category. K1s are C9 NOT A6.

Then you have your answer.

Did you follow the proper protocol and use the self service tool known as eRequest as outlined on the mailer that came with your EAD card? 1. https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do Select typographic error link. 2. Did you read the EAD section under "Updating and correcting your documents" and follow the procedure? If your request does not require you to submit evidence (for example, the error is a clear typographical error), you may submit a service request via the USCIS website. Please explain the error and include the correct information. Please select the “EAD Replacement due to USCIS Error” option when submitting your request. You must also return the card containing the error to the address below. Note: You must use the United States Postal Service (USPS) when returning your card. The use of other carriers (such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL) is not available for this address. USCIS Lee’s Summit Production Facility Attn: I-765 Replacement Cards 7 Product Way Lee’s Summit, MO 64002 It will take approximately 30 days from the date the card is received for USCIS to process your request and, if we determine it was due to USCIS error, to issue you a new card. Please retain your tracking information to ensure your card was properly delivered. This processing time frame does not account for USPS mailing/processing. Please note, if while processing your request we find that the error was not due to USCIS error, you will be notified that you must follow the procedure for when a correction is needed and not due to USCIS error. OR If your request requires you to submit evidence to demonstrate the error and necessary correction (for example, the error relates to the EAD’s validity period), or if you would like to use the existing mail-in process, you may submit a letter explaining the error and corresponding evidence, along with the card containing the error, to the address below. Note: You must use the United States Postal Service (USPS) when returning your card. The use of other carriers (such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL) is not available for this address. USCIS Lee’s Summit Production Facility Attn: I-765 Replacement Cards 7 Product Way Lee’s Summit, MO 64002 Please note, while the option to mail in your letter and supporting documentation is available, we encourage you to use existing online tools, such as the SRMT, when appropriate. For more information about the SRMT process please visit Chapter 4 – Service Request Management Tool in the USCIS Policy Manual. Using the SRMT may minimize the need for additional correspondence to be sent via mail (aside from your original card) and may help streamline the way in which we process your request. Please ensure you retain any copies of supporting documentation you send to USCIS Has it been 30 days since your shipping receipt shows the card was received in THEIR hands by USCIS? If so, it's likely a procedural error on your end that you'll just have to wait as it was not followed.

1. K1s do not file I130. K1s MUST file I485. K1s MAY file I765. K1s MAY file I131. Each of those have their own fee and you've only mentioned having to pay for I485 and I765 and not whichever of I131/I130. 2. Ensure you know the difference between I130 and I131. 3. Your timeline is blank. Are you a K1 and are confused about I130? Or did you mean I131 instead of I130? Or are you not a K1 and have posted this thread in the wrong forum? It is extremely important to have a COMPLETE VJ timeline so we can answer you properly, move your questions to the correct forum and ensure others who may be reading and looking for help aren't confused also. Please fill it out promptly!

Joining the VJ monthly AOS filing thread (and also the previous few monthly AOS filing forums) and reading through all of the comments and questions of your peer filers will be helpful to learn the process and basics. Also, your VJ timeline is completely blank. Please fill it out. Your timeline helps VJ produce the stats that you soon will be looking for to estimate the timeline of your cases. A blank timeline helps no one.

If you forgot, there isn't anything you can do. Not a big deal.

I am absolutely certain. How do I know? Because if you call SSA headquarters in MD before you get the "Card being produced" update on your account, SSA will be clueless that you even have an application in. Call after and the SSN will be in production too. And I'm talking minutes difference. It's a waste of time NOT to check the box when the odds are extremely high that the system works as it's supposed to. Now perhaps you are talking about the EAD and GC coming so closely consecutive that SSN doesn't have time to know if they are issuing a restricted card or an unrestricted card???? I've never hear of anyone who filled out their EAD/GC form correctly requesting a replacement card and SSA not being competent. Most fill it out incorrectly or are just impatient to wait the few extra days it takes to come and yell the sky is falling when they are the reason it did.

It isn't perfect, but why would SSA issue a new card when it's the USCIS card production facility issuance of GC production that initiates SSN card production? Still saves you a trip IF IT WORKS 90% of the time instead of not applying for one on I485 AT ALL. That's silly.

Then they should respond accordingly if she did it through her account. That is a NVC CASE number not an Alien Number. K1s receive their Alien number upon Visa Approval. K2s do not receive their Alien number until their first SOLE immigration benefit is approved. A K2 visa approval is a derivative visa so they won't get their own Alien number yet. To ask questions of USCIS for a K2, THEY will use their Receipt number for the application in question. They do not have an Alien number and should not reference anyone else's Alien Number as the K2s immigration process is completely separate from the K1's. Sorry if don't understand any of that. I'd leave it out of future questions as it has nothing to do with your path to AOS and will only confuse.

$260 Yes. No. Yes. No. ABSOLUTELY. Start over. Include everything for each form.

Always apply again for REPLACEMENT CARD on both I765 and I485. The SSN that comes with EAD is restricted while SSN that comes with GC is unrestricted. You'll want to have an unrestricted card so you can use it to work along with your DL instead of having to provide your GC as proof of eligibility to work. (You should never WANT to show your GC. DL + Unrestricted SSN is best.) Also you said "getting" his card? How do you know? Has it shown up in your informed delivery? Applying doesn't mean approval. It's VERY common for K1 SSN within 90 day applicants to get denied because of not following procedure to apply. Also Also, if you do not apply on your I485, you'll have to go in anyways to get an unrestricted card. Save yourself some gas.

How old is the K2? If they signed their own forms they are the petitioner/applicant of their case and are the only one's eligible to ask about their case via phone or preferably e-request or Ask Emma. PS. A K2 will never have their own A number until they have their first immigration benefit approved such as EAD, AP or GC. PSS. If you are a K1 and your daughter is a K2, how could your husband be an immigrant? (ie. You keep speaking of your husband's immigration case). Only USCs can petition for K visas. A GC holder cannot.

Coincidence. Yes. Depends on your particular adjudicator and how they handle it. There would be no accurate answer to your question as each adjudicator can do what they like and send an RFE based on any errors in their guidelines. My advice? Log it in your "there is nothing I can do about it now so oh well" file and "hope for the best but anticipate the worst" where "an RFE is not even close to the end of the world".

Not weird at all. Processing times update extremely frequently. You may be outside of NPT and eligble to file an enquiry but then they adjust them because they obviously can't keep up and then you're not and not eligble. FLA is the worst (other than TX, CA and NY) to be in for immigration processing times. PS you don't have to be TOLD anything. The website is self service. You fill in your info and it shows you whether you are eilgble to file an online enquiry directly from that site. Filing an enquiry is not done by phone.

1. A K1 who completed their medical and vaccinations overseas does not need an I693 or a new medical. It's your responsibility to ensure your DS3025 is MARKED complete and IS COMPLETE. Ensure you've examined it for completion. 2. You received a "message" from WHO? What kind of "message"? An RFE from USCIS? A spam email from a spammer? A message from the civil surgeon that redid the medical for no reason so now they are playing on your gulliblilty to get you for more money for a revacccination? Or a simple reminder that the Covid vaccine doesn't last forever, and if you desire to be protected, you'll can get another one? 3. Please fill out your extremely BLANK VJ timeline. It says you married your K1 in 2011. Your stats will help no one.

Topic moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student and Tourist Visas as you are not a K1. I'd recommend next time when posting insert your filing type in the title of your post to get help from those in your category as it is a non common filing type.
