Biometrics appointment on 10/05/17 - Took 10 minutes total (filling a form, fingerprints and you're out)

 

Unfortunately I got a RFE

RFE sent 10/03/17

RFE received 10/07/17 It seems that they want a certified translation of the birth certificate. I did provide a translation and added the paragraph certifying that I'm fluent in English. However it seems the officer processing my case was not into accepting this. So I'm going to look for a certified translator and hope that's what they want. Quite sad.

 

I will keep you updated, I hope you guys have better luck.

Sorry for the RFE, but everything is so fast for you! Had you not received the RFE, you would have been approved in a month?!?!

Good luck with the translation!

Hopefully this is not dated:

My experience:

I submitted a photocopy of DS3025 only, as stated in the I693 instructions.

The photocopy was mailed to me by the overseas doctor when I applied for K1 and got all the required vaccinations from the doctor. I did not request DS3025, so I was surprised when I received it, which turned out to be useful. 

(I assumed the doctor sent the original DS3025 together with other documents to the consulate who then passed it to USCIS using the yellow envelope carried by K1 visa holder when POE. So we did not need to submit any medical related documents. Clearly I was wrong.)

Good to see everyone's progress!

I thought I was going be to a September filer. However, it had to take 10 business days for the County Clerk to record the marriage and hence I am an October filer now

Thanks for creating the thread!

We are using assets (cash) as financial evidence for AOS after K1. The USC fiance has no income so we need to use assets as financial evidence.

The assets were in foreign fiance's foreign bank and the consular officer was  happy about it when applied for K1.

Right before POE, the cash was wired to USC fiance's bank in the US. (The foreign fiance also has a US bank account but was not sure if it was still active.)

Now we confirmed that the foreign fiance's US bank still works, should we transfer the cash to the foreign fiance's US bank for AOS?

If not, would we have to explain to USCIS/IRS why suddenly the USC fiance's bank account got a lot of cash (since the USC fiance did not have income)?

Thanks!!!

Congrats!!!  With the new updated I-485 form the G325A is no longer required.  Just make sure you have the current I-485   Other than that we also included the DS3025 (vaccine report) and a couple of photos from our small wedding.  

We only have a photocopy of DS3025 from the doctor. Does it have to be the original?
