    AOS Interview Waived ?

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

    Posted

    Same boat, interview would've been on 03.28 but got cancelled, logged into my USCIS account last week on a whim and saw I was approved, and today status has been changed to card mailed with tracking number and green card is supposed to arrive on Wednesday!
    Approval by mail also came today. So happy! 😁 And for you as well. 🙏

    Don't worry about what you DON'T have.  Just think about what you can gather.....Evidence that you even live together?  Affidavits?  Wills?  Health Care statements?  Loans? Insurance? 

    Sorry, I get anxious easily and panic, you're totally right. I'm gonna calm down and start seeing what we can actually gather. Thank you!

    I came in May,  not a year yet. And also needed social security to open joint bank account which I got with the EAD in December (filed for social security in the EAD application) so technically I've had 2 months of time to open the bank, christmas time made us not think about this stuff hence we we're gonna open in February. I realize this mistake. Thanks. I'm worried.

    So, I just randomly checked my USCIS today, I barely ever do as it is waaay too early to hear anything back (should be in august by the earliest judging by average times) but my status had changed today to Interview scheduled, what! I'm freaking out.

    I'm worried about the evidence, we have yet to file taxes jointly since.. well tax thing just started and we haven't opened a joint bank account yet because we didn't feel to be in a rush, so basically all the "evidence" of relationship we have is our wedding pictures, and some couples pictures we've taken since we got married in June... is that enough? I've heard that you're supposed to have joint bank accounts, and taxes and bla bla but.. as I said, wasn't expecting anything til august, and we we're gonna open the bank this month, I just got my EAD in December.

     

    Any advice, am I good to go with the pictures only, how much evidence is necessary and should we just go ahead and get joint bank account now or does it look weird since we opened it once we got the interview? How worried do I need to be?

    Thanks in advance! 

    Missed checkbox on AOS application

    I doubt you will get an RFE.  More than likely you will be able to correct it when you have your AOS interview.

     

    When you say "stay inside" are you referring to staying in the US or staying in the house?  Once you get the NOA from the AOS filing you will be fine inside the US, but don't leave the US prior to at least getting your AP card, or your AOS application would be considered abandoned.

     

    Good Luck!

    Yeah I do mean stay indoors, haha. Not planning on leaving the country. Thank you! 😊

    Hello! It's been a minute since I posted here, but I noticed something today..
    We sent in all the paperwork for AOS 8.19 and UPS showed it as delivered on 8.21 so it's been 7 days.
    I had a weird feeling about something being wrong suddenly so I checked the copy of the application I made and I noticed I missed to tick yes or no on 2 check boxes...😐(somehow, after checking the application twice after sending it in... paperwork makes my head spin I guess) .


    Anyone else had this happen and can tell me what happens now, will I get an RFE? I tried googling and got spooked by results like USCIS no longer needs to give an RFE just a denial.
    Will I get the paperwork get sent back so I can correct it? That's what happened when we had an error on the check for our I-129F earlier..

    Also another question, my K1 visa expired now on 8.25, so 4 days after USCIS received my application. I'm assuming I'm now out of status and technically overstaying since the AOS isn't processing yet? And is it a good idea to try and stay inside until it is? I'm scared of messing something up and getting deported because my visa expired, lol.

     

    Anyway, thankful for any help. Sorry for rambling post but I'm just so tired of this paperwork and can't believe I made a mistake, and scared since visa expired.

    Submitting my interview request letter, need some reassurance.

    Try and calm down, breathe, relax as much as you can.
    This process is stressful, and speaking from my own experience I know how hard it can be.
    I've never in my life had as much anxiety as I've had during this process, and some days my anxiety was so crippling I couldn't get out of bed.


    But in the end it was all worth it, the interview was the scariest thing I've ever done but when I finally got there it was easy as pie, and now that it's all said and done I've never felt better. Hang in there! It's worth it and you'll be together with your loved one in no time. ☺️ 💗

    Since we are on the topic of medical :) 

     

    I have been trying to research which doctor to choose and I would love to hear from people who have been to the different ones. First of all, is there a clinic in Malmö approved to perform the medical? The embassy in Copenhagen lists Citykliniken in Malmö while the embassy in Stockholm only lists clinics in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Malmö would be the closest one for me!

     

    I was also wondering about the cost - the only one I can see listing the cost is Gothenburg, 3750kr. Is the cost similar in Stockholm (and Malmö, if that one is approved)? What is included? I read somewhere that you had to get x-rays separately, does that apply for all clinics? And how much extra could I expect for those in that case?

     

    Thanks!! 🙏🏻

    Hello! I had my medical done recently (april 1st) at Sibyllekliniken in Stockholm.

    I was going to go to the one in Gothenburg after asking here about it first but I could in no way get an appointment with them, their online booking was down for weeks ( I don't know if they've fixed it yet) and I tried calling but the phone lines are full every single day so I gave up and just sent an email to Sibyllekliniken to book an appointment because I was running out of time to start scheduling said medical. Sibyllekliniken got back to me fast with an appointment and sent me some documents with info about the medical. The cost of the medical is 3800kr and then chest X-ray for 600kr. The X-ray is done at Unilabs röntgen Sophiahemmet (about 13 minute walk from the medical) and they have drop-in from 8 am,  so just go there before you go to the medical.

    The medical was just fine, doctor (Jan Arlestig) seemed to be in a bit of a rush tho but was friendly and made me feel at ease during the whole thing, and he did a thorough exam and felt like he really made sure he did the medical correctly. After that I was told to go across the street to get my blood sample taken at the lab and hand in my urine sample. 

     

    All in all, I'd recommend Sibyllekliniken! Can't speak for the one in Gothenburg other than getting an appointment there seemed impossible.
     

    K1 Visa interview - passport style photos.

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

    Posted

    Hello, so I got my interview this week and went to the photographer today to get my passport style photos taken that is required for the interview.

    Now the american size isn't standard here so it took awhile to get them, and when I did get the photos they were uncut as in I had to cut them myself - which I did...

    Was trying to be super careful but I still messed it up and they are cut slightly wonky, and one side might be a mm too short.

    Just asking how strict are they? Am I fine with bringing these 2 pictures - that are aaaalmost straight, slightly off or should I go get new ones taken again?
    Sigh.


    Thanks for any advice.

    The only things that differ between the two clinics are price (GBG is significantly cheaper), and that in GBG you can ask for a copy of the full medical report, not just the DS-3025 (from what I understand Sthlm won't give you a copy of the whole thing for some reason?). Another thing is that you pay for the whole medical including the x-rays in one go at the actual clinic in GBG, I believe in Sthlm you pay for the medical at the clinic and then pay for the x-ray separately at the x-ray place, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    The doctor in GBG (named Einar) fixes an appointment for you at the x-ray place, so you don't have to book it yourself. They already know that you're coming when you head over there. Other than that I don't think there's much that differs between the two.

     

    When I went to GBG he didn't even look at my vaccination records, he basically meant that everyone who was born and raised in Sweden have gotten all vaccinations needed, so he just ticked all the necessary boxes on the vaccination sheet and marked it "complete".

     

    I got my vaccination records from the journalarkiv of region Skåne, they had records of every vaccination I ever got at a clinic/hospital/vårdcentral in Skåne. I contacted the kommun where I last went to school to get the records of the vaccinations I got in school as a kid, the records transfer with you when you go to school in different communes. Took a few days to receive everything.

     

    I knew I would need a stelkrampsspruta so I decided to take that one at my local vårdcentral a couple of months prior to my medical. Didn't cost much and they wrote a "certificate" and signed it, as proof I got the vaccine, which I brought with me to the medical.

     

    They don't go through any old medical records, you get papers to fill in where they ask you about your medical history. If you can get a "friskhetsintyg" then bring it, just in case.

     

    The medical is extremely relaxed, there's nothing to worry about and it's definitely not a "hospital feeling" going through it. You don't have to strip down or anything (not in GBG at least, I didn't even take my shoes off). The medical is a breeze. For the x-rays you have to undress on your upper body, obviously.

    Thanks a bunch! That's very helpful. 😃

     

    I'll look into the clinic in Gothenburg, easier choice anyway since I actually have an idea how to navigate that city.. unlike Stockholm (which I still have to do for the interview tho, lol).


    Still a little bit of time left to go before it's time.

    Hey, I'm a K1 filer and  I have some questions for fellow swedes who have done the medical , since I don't really like doctors knowing a few things before hand would make it easier for me, haha.

     

    Anyway!

    So, which clinic would you recommend? I live up north so going to anyone of them is far away so if one is better than the other that'd be great to know.

    And how did you figure it out with the vaccination records? I don't have any but I've gotten all shots as a kid and at school and what not, is getting files from this needed? Wonder how easy it is to get old vaccination records from the 90's heh.
    And do they go thru your old medical records and what not and is that something I should somehow bring with me? I had depression as a teenager and was on and off antidepressants growing up, no self harm or anything serious just being generally down, is this something I should get a doctors statement off that I'm currently fine (haven't eaten medications in years.)

     

    Anyway, sorry if long these are just some questions I had for Swe specific medical since I couldn't find any answers while searching.
    Thanks in advance. :)
