Hello! We also submitted our N-400 recently (May 4th via mail). We also received immediate response and that my husband's biometrics were being reused. We also have I-751pending for about 10.5 months (SRC) right now. We received immediate action on our I-751 that it was moved to a different office and that it will have jurisdiction over it. I really don't know what that means but I assume that there is some movement due to both applications pending and they were both moved to our local office.

Hi everyone!
Joining the fun here!
Can't wait to see massive progress for us all and to end this journey once and for all

This is a revision of my post that is often quoted as good information on the I-693 and DS-3025 question. The DS-3025 form has changed, so this update matches the new form that looks like this http://photos.state.gov/libraries/thailand/591452/iv/ds3025.pdf
If your DS-3025 from your visa medical is sufficient to prove you have completed all required immunizations, then use it instead of seeing a Civil Surgeon. Read all this for information I have compiled.
Do I need a medical exam?
What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already had a medical exam overseas?
Source: I-693 instructions page 6 &7, Part 3 FAQ, #3
If you were admitted as a:
A. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or
B. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and
C. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then:
1) You are not required to have another medical examination as long as you file your Form I-485 within one year of an overseas medical examination, and:
(a) The panel physician did not find a class A medical condition during your overseas examination; or
(b) The panel physician did find a class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility, and you have complied with the terms and conditions of the waiver.
(2) Even if a new medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original overseas medical examination report, you will have to have the Part 7. Vaccination Record completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you must submit Parts 1., 2., 4., and 7. of Form I-693.
Do you need an I-693 immunization sheet? Is my DS-3025 filled out properly?
Look at your DS-3025. If it has the ALL of the following items, you don't need an I-693 (Adults 19-49 yrs old).
1. Shots marked with a date (at least one of a series)
MMR (two are required but if you have "insufficient time interval" Code B in the last column, then you get a waiver) Td or Tdap or DT or DTP or DtaP (One date must be no longer than 10 years ago) Varicella (Either a check by "Vaccine" with a date, OR a check by "Varicella History" if you had chickenpox. History gets you a waiver) Influenza (during flu season)** see note below because you may be okay without it. If it is not flu season, the waiver in the last column is Code F. Everything else marked "not age appropriate" Code A, insufficient time interval B, not flu season F, contraindicated C...things that allow a waiver. NOTE: If you have shots missing and no waiver for them, stop here and see a Civil Surgeon. "Most of the shots" isn't complete. A note from your home country doctor won't count. All shots must be recorded on the DS-3025 or waived. You will have to take your doctor note to a Civil Surgeon and get him to record it on an official form.
2. The new form has a summary section. It may be marked:
"US vaccination requirements COMPLETE (Requesting a Blanket Waiver)"
But instructions I have seen says it is only marked for immigrant visas. I know In London they leave section 2 unmarked at K1 medicals.
3. Signed and dated by the doctor
The unknown with this new form is--will every adjudicator across the US know how to interpret the summary section? Their policy manual says:
"The officer should be aware that civil surgeons may improperly mark the boxes because they may misunderstand the meaning of these boxes. Therefore, the officer should determine, from the vaccination assessment completed by the civil surgeon, whether the applicant received all vaccines, which blanket waivers should be granted, and whether the applicant requires any ​other waivers. The officer should exercise discretion in reviewing the vaccination chart and when evaluating the results boxes at the bottom of the vaccination assessment chart. ​ ​If the civil surgeon did not check any result boxes, the officer should only return the form for corrective action if he or she is unable to ascertain whether the applicant is admissible. "
While this is not directly addressing the new form that has a "Summary" instead of a "Results" section, I believe the intent is that the adjudicator should look and see if the four required shots (or waivers) are present and accept the form even if the doctor doesn't do the summary to their liking. No guarantees, but I would certainly use the DS-3025 if I knew I had all the required shots.
**Note on flu shot: Flu shots are required for adults of all ages if your visa exam was between (Oct 1 and March 31). But if the AOS adjudicator picks up your case when it is not flu season, you will be excused. And the reverse is true. The adjudicator picks up your case during flu season, but sees it was NOT flu season when you had your medical exam, you are also excused because the date they go by is the date of your visa exam to determine if you were current on that date. Keep in mind that if you go to a civil surgeon for an I-693, then you are resetting the medical exam date for immunizations and you may have to get second doses of shots or a flu shot to become current on your new immunization date of record.
See next post for more information.

Hey man I have been following your posts for a while you are very active and good job for helping a lot of people. EAD doesn't need your fingerprints per say. This is what they do as part of your C9 category which you need fingerprint background check for your adjustment of status. Now the fact that this guy is 180 days in and hasn't gone for bio metrics is crazy. However, they can issue EAD without background check. I currently have an EAD without ever going to a bio metrics appointment. That's why USCIS says again and again we review requests on a case to case basis. 

Rare but it can happen
 
 

Best to explain why you wanna speak to a TIER2 cause they get pretty annoyed with people that just ask for TIER2 without good reason. Also, they're not obligated to let you speak with one.
 
Some people call cause they sent their package 2 days ago and they didn't receive their NOA yet. Obviously no need for TIER2 there and they'll never let you speak with one if that's the reason. If you explain this they'll prob automatically tell you they're gonna get you in contact with a TIER2.

If you ask for a supervisor (which is a Tier 2 agent) they cant decline you. 
And the last time you called, they offered you very incorrect info. 

Just make sure that when you call you ask to speak to a Tier 2 agent off the bat. A Tier 2 agent will, if they can't help you directly, be able to schedule an Infopass as generally you cannot schedule an Infopass on your own online anymore.

All very strange. You havent had biometrics at all? They wont be able to issue your card. 
I would call and ask how you would be approved without a photo and fingerprints for the security checks.
1) status updates are totally unreliable. But I doubt your EAD has really been approved then. 
2) yes call. The original officer that you spoke with is clueless as biometrics should happen with 30 days of your NOA1.
 
We are talking about an original EAD though and not a replacement right?
 

So I just found this topic, but it's from 2007 and idk if the person ever got in trouble. So calling is still important, but at least you know this happened before.
 

Never heard before that they used your K1 biometrics for AOS/EAD/AP, but I just typed 'EAD without biometrics' in the search bar and I got way more topics then expected! Apparently this is not the first time USCIS is messing up.
 
Info pass is a gamble, but in your situation you could def do that (if the call with USCIS doesn't go anywhere, otherwise it's a waste of your time) 
The girl that had the topic yesterday said the officer was rude and just told her to be patient. Weird enough within 24 hours she did have her biometrics appointment in the mail, she's still not sure if that was cause of the appointment or just coincidence. But she was a November 2018 filer, so her situation was already very different, since you're (almost) outside normal processing time.

Start with calling USCIS on Monday and if that doesn't go anywhere ask for an Info Pass appointment.

Sorry to hear that. 
It was weird that the representative said something about not outside of processing. Even the NOA notice says it might take up to 60 days to receive biometrics letter. I believe whoever he is, he didn't know what he was doing.  
 
Well, my experience was not complicated. I called USCIS once before it had been one month since I got NOA mail. The lady on the other side said it could take me up to one month to receive it and asked me to wait. Then after one month still nothing so I called again. This time I explained that it's been a month still nothing. Then he submitted an service request for me and told me the reference number. That's all. He knew something must be wrong, so he didn't ask for more and just went ahead to submit a service request. 
 
You should have asked for advice earlier. Well, now you are supposed to call USCIS as soon as possible because they won't approve anything if the fingerprints review is not done.  Hopefully this time you'll get someone who knows what he's doing.

Yes. And you will be entering your case number. Try to talk to a representative.

Just checked your timeline. Not surprisingly your are another late-August filer. It seems like something went wrong with late August cases.
Have you called USCIS to ask them to submit a service request for you?
I am a late August filer too and I had waited for my biometrics appointment mail for two months since I filed the AOS package.
I called USCIS one month after I filed AOS package and not received bio appointment. Then half a month later I finally got my biometrics appointment notice in mail.
 

Yes. Originals and certified copies of everything. 

Hey! You don't need police certificate from the US, they can check it without you giving them these papers, don't stress out and be happy =) 

I am wondering the same thing. I have spent a lot of time in the States on a B1/B2 visa, but never 6+ months at a time (I think the most was 4.5 months before I went home and came back). In total though, I have been here easily 12+ months over the past few years. Any advice would be very helpful! Thanks!
