  1. Based on the number 4 of the checklist for N-400. Which is a list of documents to attach with the N-400 based on a marriage to a US citizen:

    4. Documents referring to you and your spouse:

    - Tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, or birth certificates of children, or

    - Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past three years, or

    - An IRS tax return transcript for the last three years.

    So my question is, is it enought if I attached the following?

    - Birth certificate of you child

    - Copy of our online tax return for the last 3 years

    Or I really have to include IRS tax return transcript, bank accounts ..etc

    Thanks in advance for your help!

  2. Thanks a lot for the info.

    We have done this before, last year same time, for my father, we are trying now for my mother. So when we did this last year it worked, my father got the biomatric appointment letter within 10 days, and the appointment a week from that. I am trying to do the same thing, the only problem I did was I didn't write the EXPEDITE word in the envelope. ughhh.

    Now it's just waiting. and the problem is my mother ticket is in three weeks from now. I wish I didn't apply, now I will lose almost $500 if not even more. immegration papers are no cheap.

  3. Ok I have tried to follow the I-131 reentry permit instructions for expedite processing at least fort he biometric part. that is I put 2 pre-paid FedEx shipping slips, and my email. but I have forgot to write expedite on the outer of the envelope I also didn't explain why I need the expedite on the cover letter, Just said need the expedite option, however on the form itself I have answered the question where you are asked the reason you applying for I-131. so my question is would you think they would expedite my case? Do they open the envelope to see whets inside as soon as they receive the express envelope? or my case just went to the normal queue because I didn't write expedite on the outer envelope?

    Also from if anyone have gone through the I-131 process recently, how long does it take to get the biomatric appointment letter? And how far it is from the date you get the biomatric letter to the appointment itself?

  4. Finally we had our AOS interview, and we were approved :dance::thumbs::dance::thumbs::dance::thumbs:

    Here is how it went :yes:

    - We arrived in the parking lot of the USCIS building an hour and 20 minutes early

    - We would have been let in 45 minutes before our appointment, but we stayed in our car to kinda chat about the possible questions

    - We got in half hour before the interview and went through the security check and then to the interview waiting area, were we were asked to drop our interview letter in a small metal tray, and we waited along with about 20 other people

    - Our name was called exactly at the time of interview by our interviewer

    - He took us both to his office, and started asking my wife (the beneficiary) to confirm all the information on the I-485 form by asking her that verbally as follow

    § Your name, Address and phone number

    § Then the other immigration questions from the form, like have you applied for a visa to US before, have you taken any government aid, have you been deported before.

    § Then asked the rest of the questions that is on form I-485, like have you been convicted before, have you been arrested, are you affiliated with any terrorist group …etc

    - Then he asked us if we have a copy a lease together, and we didn’t but I told him I have other documents, and he asked me to present them, so I gave him the following

    § Our shared checking account

    § Our photos from the wedding, and from a trip we made for honey moon

    § Federal Tax return that we filed jointly.

    § Our baby to (be born) ultra sound photos, which he was interested in because it shows my wife’s name on, so he took copy of that

    § Our health and dental and vision insurance showing that my wife is with me on my job’s insurance

    § Showed him a form that shows my wife as beneficiary on my live insurance, and because I filled this form out few days ago I showed him an email from my employer to me that they have received this update.

    § Some letters that my wife received to our home address, and he took only one and made a copy of it

    - After that he stated to us that he will approve the case, and that we will get the approval letter within two weeks, and another two weeks we will be getting the GC,

    Now this last point is interesting because from all the posts I read here in VJ is that the interviewer doesn’t tell you that you are approved, he or she will maybe give you a personal opinion wither the paper work is complete or not, that is it.

    But I like to believe our interviewer :yes: because he was very nice and made our case go smooth.

    Please note that our I-485 case is based on K3 (meaning we filed I-130 then I-129F)

    Thanks to everybody's help!!! :thumbs:

  5. I am wondering How is the AOS interview condacted? are the spouse going to be seprated during the interview? I heared that it goes in three or two steps as follow

    Penificiary alone

    Then USC

    Then both togather

    Is this true? Or it goes different way, please share info or experaince

    As always Thank you in advance for your help :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

  6. Thanks to all of the answers, and of course I can talk to her, and I can interpret if USCIS allow me, but I thought the interview goes into two or three parts

    first the wife without the husband

    then the husband without the wife

    then both togather

    Am I wrong? I wish they make one interview for both of us, with no interpreter needed

    Anyone know how the interview process go, are we going to be seperate or togather

    Thanks

  7. I have an interview coming up and in the NOA it says to bring an interpreter for non-English speakers, my wife can speak English but not fluently, so I was thinking to bring my cousin to the interview to interpret for her, but is this ok by the USCIS, or they need a formal interpreter, like they may have a list of interpreters that you have to get from

    Any one with the same issue, or have any idea.

    Thanks in advance!!! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

  8. I am in the same situation you are in, you don’t have to re-do your I-693, but you will need to get more vaccination and for that you need to fill some parts in I-693, read the first two QA on the pinned topic “ http://www.visajourney.com/forums/FAQs: Forms I-693 and DS-3025

    Here is the link

    http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=101202

    They didn’t tell us overseas nor when she entered here that we need to follow up with more vaccination, moreover the instruction for I-485 states that if you came here through K visa and your medical exam that was done overseas is less then a year AT THE TIME YOU SUBMIT YOUR I-485 PACKAGE (MEANS WHEN THEY RECEIVE IT VIA MAIL), you don’t have to take any medical exam, however I read in here that you have to do more vaccination and only a list of Drs can do it,

    My wife’s interview is in 10 days, and I am worry about this issue, and when I tried to call all the Drs on the USCIS approved list, they told me you will take the whole think no vaccination only process, they will force you to take the medical as well, and the cost $300/-, and I even wish if it was for the money, no it takes up to 2 weeks, which I don’t have that kind of time, I want this whole think in a week so I can take it to the interview :angry:

  9. Emancipation,

    Not strange at all. Look carefully at the form at the link you reference and tell us what form # you see on the form?

    I-693A is a 'form #' created by people's imagination (as is 'NOA1), it is not the vaccination supplement's form number.

    Yodrak

    Not true about the form.. We found it.. You have to search suppliment not the form #.. strange we know.. but that's the deal

    http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/pdf/ti-03/appdx-a_693vacc.pdf

    I brought this from the search, I think it's good thread to my issue, and I am sure many others, also I am quoting Yodrak to tell him/her that if you looked at the bottom of the form you will see A-1, so my guess is that people are calling this form I-693A referancing the letter "A" at the bottom of the page

  10. Thank you Nich-Nick! :thumbs:

    But the link isn't opening, I am having some trouble with it, I am trying now to just go www.cdc.gov and search for the pdf document

    Also please note my wife's visa type is K-3, and she did the medical exam and the MMR vaccination abroad before the embassy interview, so is there really more vaccination needed? And do you think we can do that within the next two weeks?

    Thanks again for any help from anyone!
