who is the doctor in Texas

omg!!! The agent in NY told us to get the 693A form... they are so clueless.. the RFE states please provide the 1-693A, what should i do now?

My wife needs to have submit a vaccination supplement (I-693A) asap. She had her AOS interview, and they wanted an updated form. She is also pregnant. I live in Queens NY, anyone recommend a good doctor from the USCIS list? My wife already has all her bloodwork from the pregnancy so they would call up her OBGYN and get the results. Thanks

I came to USA on K-1 Visa in the month of March 2008 and I have the interview on Jan 6, 2009. I had all my vaccinations done at Apollo hospital in New Delhi prior to interview and the famous sealed envelop was submitted at the embassy counter for K-1 interview. Now the interview letter says I-693 form to submit unless you have submitted in the past. I did not submit it with my AOS and there were no RFE'S, please suggest.

Do exactly what they ask you to do.

My wife just had her interview.. very simple.. but she couldnt find the vacc supplement done at apollo hospital, but we had the original... but at the end we got an rfe for a new medical here. She said once I get it(she gave us her direct address at uscis) I will forward the case for approval.

Issue is my wife is pregnant..

My case was touched June 30.... probably from the biometrics done!

Nice Hope yours will be going to CSC!

I hope so too...

DOnt stress too much. My wife was told( i was at the interview too) that the interview was good and will approve but they need to get approval for security from Washignton, she got the visa delivered in a week to her house.

Congrats!

Make sure you start keeping copies of

-phone bills

-emails

-cards/presents(with envelopes and proof of postage).

-photos of the two of you...

also any trips you made to see her.. keep copies of the tickets etc.

My wife over prepared and took copies of everything she submitted and any other paperwork/pics... just in case...

Good luck!

We went 810am on Saturday, the guard forgot all about why we came , but after I told him what he told us on Wednesday he let us thru, the lady at the counter verified everything, then told us the date should be July 8, i explained why he let us in and she said ok, and my wife waited 15 mins and had her biometrics done. So filling out the form, waiting on line, total took us about 30 mins. Now we are done... thanks everyone...

I went thru this in May 2007, case was sent back so fast, that congressmen and senators couldnt do anything about it. We refiled immediately and overburdened them with evidence and I personally went to the embassy, and my fiance(at the time) told them I was here for any questions. New Delhi is very nasty and can refuse visas.. but the second time around.. we were approved no problem... but we completely overburdened and at this time(8 months later),,.,the congressman was so close to the case, he wrote a letter to the embassy weeks ahead and told them the whole history and then called 2 days before.. and finally got it approved!

My wife needed to change her biometrics appt since we are going to be out of town. This forum suggested we go to the center and ask to get them done earlier. It is only 5 mins away from my house, so we went yesterday, she went in and it was empty except for 1 security guard and 1 person waiting in this huge waiting area. She walked in and told him her situation, he just pointed to the calendar and said Saturday. No explanation, nothing.. weird guy.. so I asked, so we can come in on Saturday to get the biometrics done and he pointed again and said come Saturday... I said anytime.. he said yes..

funny guy.. so we will go this Saturday and see if she can get it done.

Hope this is true! Please let us know. It varies so much between centres. I have heard of people from different areas be denied when they showed up on a different day, even those that were told to come in on certain days, so we'd really like to know the places where they can accomodate!

I will let you know. Worst case, we just postpone it. This center was not too friendly, but then again they must deal with a bunch of annoying questions all day.

also send pics of the two of you and note where you were etc etc. We visited Delhi and listed where we were and where we ate.

I ended up sending a 5 lb pacckage full of proof, including cards, gifts phone bills..

When is your K1 approval valid till. You have 4 months from time of NOA. We went thru the same BS, but by the time we got all the info together(3 days), the petition was sent back to US. and we reapplied and this time overwhelmed them with info, I also went to the interview. I suggest calling your senator to make sure the petition stays at the consulate.

Her K1 approval is valid until July 25th 2008.

Good, make sure you overwhelm them with all the information, also get alot of letters of support(from your parents, her parents etc), we knew our congressman and he sent an email to them as a letter of support.

Get all your info ready asap and send it over.

Hello All,

Well, my fiance' went for her interview on the 24th of June.. and after 6 hours she was given a 221g. The consular officer was a complete b****ch who seemed to have left common sense at home. That is the problem with common sense... IT IS NOT COMMON.

neways. after interviewing and looking at the documents, she wasn't satisfied that our relationship wasn't legitimate I guess.

Sooo.. the 221 g states.. to submit " additional proof of relationship including but not limited to"

1) list of guests who attended the engagement ceremony, including address, ph# and relation . ( NOT A PROBLEM)

2) Photographs of the two together (She bloody has these in front of her in her hands!!!!)

3) Photographs from the engagement ceremony (Same thing... my fiance' took the album with her and submitted 6-7 pictures initially )

4) Invoices (if any) from the engagement ceremony (not a huge deal.. but we've decided to submit the dvd of our ceremony.. that should take care of the "doubt" factor)

5) Cards (if any) from family members and well wishers on the occasion (It wasn't a formal ceremony to begin with and secondly... In Indian culture.. no one is going to bring cards.. especially if only close freinds and family are present)

6) Proof of an US wedding plans already fixed such as reception hall, photography, wedding invitation.

( how in all that is holy.. would I make reservations or print wedding cards when I myself dont' know when my fiance is going to be granted her Visa!!!) should I put down the downpayments simply on wishful thinking? my god!!!

7) Notarized statement from beneficiary and petitioner explaining in their own words, how and when they met ( or when they met and how, when and why they decided to marry. Please include an explanation regarding why you wish to have the marriage ceremony in the US instead of India. (harmless enuf.. not a problem)

8) Notarized list from the petitioner noting all travel to visit the beneficiary in India, including proof of the same. ( did not understand the last bit... "including proof of the same" what does that mean guys???

I have attached my statement.. item #7 for your review guys.

My fiance has the copies of all the emails that we originally submitted and the phonebills and the e-cards etc. Should she submit those again??

What do guys think? .... Should I lose hope?? or treat this as merely a roadbump?
