    They should have the medical exam within government files. I do not believe you need to complete a new medical exam. Best of luck!!

    Thank you so much!

    AOS Interview Questions

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted

    Hi! So my husband's interview is scheduled next month. The officer at the airport took his medical documents upon entering the US (he comPleted his medical in Manila on Oct 2018). I was wondering if he needs to complete a new medical for next month's interview? I do not know if they forwarded his medical document at the airport where they took it to the office where the interview will take place.

    Well technically you got married during the 90 days so you did your part of the contract and respected the conditions of the Visa. Never read anything from the USCIS saying that the AOS must be filled during the 90 days, it is just that you don't really have a status between your Visa expiration and the moment the USCIS get your AOS Application. I am not a specialist but never heard about anybody being in trouble filling a few times after their K-1 visa expired. 

    Ive been googling about it too and its stressing me out. Thanks for makig me feel better. We will send the applications for AOS, EAD and AP this tuesday or wednesday.

    My understanding is that there's not very much in the way of documents required to file the I-485 (and I-765 and I-131); lots of people file within a few days of a marriage shortly after POE.

     

    You'll need more documentation for you interview, but the USCIS web site says the Boston field office averages 7.5 to 11.5 months for AOS, so you'll have time to put it together.

    Thank you! Its just coz his i 94 expired on dec 3 and most probably we will be sending the AOS this week. Im nervous that they will have some issues since we are filing with an expired i94 😭😭

    Everyday that you do not file AOS beyond the 90 days, you no longer have lawful status and you are accumulating days of overstay. While most days of overstay are forgiven after you apply for AOS because you have married as you were supposed to, during that time of unlawful status, you can be brought into immigration proceedings. While most judges will only force you to file for AOS at that time to avoid deportation, with the current government, you never know what new policies may develop.

     

    So if his i 94 expired, is it still helpful to file EAD with AOS?

    Hi all! I'm about to file for my AOS (I am currently on K1 visa, just got married last week, May 1st, and already got a certified copy of my marriage certificate!) and would greatly appreciate if you all could check my cover letter to make sure I have everything right. I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to important things like this so having you guys reassure me will greatly benefit my nerves haha.

     

    Some notes (please let me know if I got any of these wrong!):

    • I am planning to submit only a photocopy of my birth certificate - will a certified copy be required? I already submitted a certified copy during my interview in Manila, which the USCIS still has (they took it along with my other docs at POE), so I'm assuming I don't need to submit another certified copy... 
    • I am not submitting the I-693 because my DS-3025 from my medical in the Philippines (which indicates that all my vaccinations are complete) is still valid until November 2017. Correct?
    • For the I-797 date, I used the "NOTICE DATE" - is that right?
    • I'm only submitting a copy of my husband's income tax returns for the current tax year (2016), since I understand copies the past years' tax returns is not necessary.

     

    THANK YOU ❤️

    Hi! My husband is from the Philippines too. We are currently filling up forms for AOS. I was wondering since he doesn't have a copy of D 3025. When did they give you the D 3025?

    How to answer DS-160 question on refusal of US visa

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    On 4/10/2016 at 10:50 PM, Miss Accountant said:

    Ok, this may be a silly question, but I want to make sure I answer everything correctly on each form!

    I'm looking through the DS-160 and it asks "Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry? "

    Last December my foreign fiance applied for a tourist visa and was refused when he went to the embassy for his interview date. No interview, he was just given a piece of paper saying that he hadn't provided sufficient evidence of ties to his country. Ok, it was worth a shot to spend Christmas together. In January we submitted our application for a fiance visa.

    So does this count as a refusal of a visa? I would think it does, it's just that this question sounds so serious; it lumps being refused a visa along with being refused entry once you got to country, which sounds like when you've done something wrong. There weren't any problems with our application, no fraud or anything like that (!), we just couldn't provide enough evidence. Is there anyone else here who was refused a tourist visa and then applied for a fiance visa? How did you answer this question?

    So I just want to be sure that we're answering this question correctly. Has he ever been refused a U. S. Visa, yes or no?

    Thank you so much everyone!

    Hi! I am having the same problem. So my fiance got denied for a tourist visa under section 214b. We are trying to fill out DS 160 for the interview. So of course we would select "yes". However it asks us to explain. I honestly dont know what to write. Is it okay if we just say he got denied u der section214b?

    My fiance got denied of a US tourist visa under 214b in 2016. So we are filling out DS 160 and there's a question that goes "Have you ever been refused a US Visa?" So of course we will choose "yes". However, there has to be an explanation. I am wondering if we would just simply say that he got denied under 214b. Would that be okay? Below is the letter given to him when he got denied.

    How long in advance do you know your interview date?

    @Hank_ @javadown2 @LunarGazer Hi! So I called NVC and got our MNL#. I am just so confused where to start. I tried reading the links but still my brain is not in its normal state maybe. I told my fiance to print the payment form and go pay the visa fee on monday. So after paying the fee, can we schedule an interview date (i plan on attending the interview on the 2nd week of august) even if the status of our case is still "at NVC"?

    Hi! So we received pur NOA2 in the mail on June 18, 2018. I know i still have to give atleast 2 weeks before calling NVC. I just want to ask you how it took for you to get your MNL#? TIA 😊

     

    Also for @Hank_ , do they get the i 134 form before they start the interview or will they just ask for it if they need to see it? TIA😊
