Juri

Hello!

I expect to have my green card interview soon and I noticed my medical examination report is expired. I’m pretty sure I submitted the report when I filed I-485 but the uscis agent over the phone wasn’t able to tell me if I did. They also couldn’t give me the local field office phone number to ask. 

What should I do? 
 

Thank you!!

My husband and I moved to Hawai’i from Washington 4 months ago. We sent an address change request to USCIS 10days before we moved to Hawai’i but I just got email from them saying “no one came to the interview and this will significantly affect your case” we even called them and told them that we want to have an interview here in Hawai’i and the guy who we talked said I’ll send a request and send your notice. We tried to call them to confirm in five different times but they never picked up. What should I do next?your case.

With regards to AOS, there is no expiration date on the overseas medical if filed within 1 year of the date of the medical. That means if you file for AOS before the medical is 1 year old, you don't need a new one. It doesn't matter when your interview takes place, it only matters when you filed.

 

The medical done within the US has a 2 year validity, if I'm not mistaken. The overseas medical doesn't have an expiration date for AOS purposes (if filed within 1 year). 

 

Now, it does happen from time to time that an immigration officer doesn't know the rules himself, and wrongfully asks for a new medical. It doesn't seem to happen often though. 

Okay got it. Thank you so much! Helps a lot!!

Hi there,

I have a question that’s bugging me. I showed my medical forms to the US embassy in Japan, and we think that we also sent copies with the I-485 form, however the medical exam doc is set to expire in October, 2020 and I worry with the slowdown due to COVID-19 that my medical documents will expire before I will have my interview. 
 

Should I have another medical examination done or am I ok?

Thanks!

Hi Juri I traveled on AP last year and everything went well. Just remember that you'll be send to secondary inspection but that is standard procedure and nothing to worry about. 

Hi Larisa.That’s good to know!

I can mentally prepare for that.

Thanks a lot!

AP is not only used for emergency reasons. You should not have any trouble returning to the US. Lots of people use it to visit friends and family.

Okay! Thanks a lot

This is a common misconception but yes you can travel outside the country with AP for whatever reason you want. Also you won't have trouble going through the POE so just be natural and don't worry. 

Got it:) Thank you so much for answering my question!

if you have your AP/EAD card you can travel in and out as long as it is valid until you receive your CC in hand.

 

if you do not have this if you leave USA you will not be allowed back in, and then a CR1 visa will be required to return.

Hi Thank you so much for your answer!

yes I have AP/EAD card. 

I recently got AP and I am planning to visit my family and prepare for a wedding.

I searched about AP and it seems like people visit their country for the emergency reasons. Am I able to return to the U.S. after just visit my family and for a wedding preparation. Will I have trouble go through the customs?
