thanks, i will call and hopefully get it soon!

Thanks for this.

I have received the welcome to the US letter, but no GC and all my online status says is welcome letter sent, so I think I am behind in all this.

Should I call and notify USCIS. I have not moved or anything, so I really do not know what is up!?

Thanks

Lily

Hi,

Everything has gone pretty smoothly since I sent back my RFE. I got the approval notice on October 10th, its just I am still waiting for my greencard. I was hoping people who have recently got their GC might be able to tell me approximately how long it all took, and if I seem to be in the normal timeframe? I am not too worried as I have EAD and AP, but would like it before we go back home to Europe for Christmas!

Thanks, and Good luck to everybody,

Lily

My husband is from Egypt had his medical in February and we were sent a letter that his medical was not in his immigration file. We sent the copy of the DS to the consulate but they are stating that he has no medical record, the old one will not suffice and he has to have the complete medical done. This seems to be a trend.

Yes this is what a few people have said. Its difficult, obviously financially I would prefer to do the Texas Dr $20 thing, but I do not want to delay my papaerwork more!

ANyway, thanks for your input, and your baby is scrumptious!

So its just a gamble whether or not I do a full medical or not? There is no way or knowing if I need one?

I ask because it says on my RFE I have to submit everything in one go, or my case is denied.

And yes I am in NYC, $125 sounds wonderful!

Thanks for all this help

And I did do a search. I have already spoken to the lady in Texas, twice. The problem is the difference in opiniong. The poster called I think its "Fwaqguy" said I need the full exam!

see this is what is confusing me, as that is what i initially thought. but posts here seem to say that is only if they request the I693A. With me they asked for the I693, i.e. the full examination, not just the vaccinations.

I am really not sure what to do, whether to pay for the whole thing or just send it off to Texas, people seem to think differently, and the lady we spoke to was no help!

When was your exam in London?

When did you file AOS?

What medical/vaccination forms did you include with your AOS?

Knowing this will help people help you.

Had my exam in February

Filed June 19th

included my DS form with all my vacc requirements up to date on it.

I think they just want the full medical because they lost it unfortunately!

Thanks, I think we are just going to re-do it, as its due October 4th.

Its just such a pain to pay again for it all, and it seems so arbitrary!

Hi Jon & Lindsay!

I just wanted to say hi, as I am also from Wales, Newport in fact!.Where are you from? Good luck in the process, sometimes I jsut miss being at home and not having all of this craziness ;-))

Lily

Thanks.

Why do they specify what they need when they just need the entire package? Its very perplexing.

Can I ask did you just re-do the whole exam or get the original sent from home?

Also did you need the vaccinations re-done completely or does my vacc supplement still stand?

Thanks

Hi,

I am really sorry for posting three times, but i wanted to write exactlt what my RFE says. Re-reading it, I am wondering if i need to just send in the chest x-ray, and wanted to know if the POE officer shoudl have taken it or not?

My RFE says

"I693" MEDICAL EXAM

Please submit a properly completed nad singed form I693, Medical exam etc.

Current regulations now require that the TB skin test be completed by all applicants 2 yrs or older. A Chest x ray is required only when the reaction to the skin test is 5mm or more. Or you may provide other evidence to establish that you have had follow up treatment for TB and that the condition no longer exists. A reciew of the record indicates you entered on a valid K1, however THE RECORD CANNOT BE FOUND IN YOUR APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR AOS PACKAGE. Therefore, you are requested to submit the aforementioned I693 Medical exam of aliens seeking AOS, completed by a USCIS approved physician.

I am utterly confused as I have never ever had TB, and I have even had the vaccine.

What exactly is this asking for? Is it the whole medical or just the chest x-ray? Has anyone had an RFE like this before?

Thanks for your help

Lily

I thought that was only if you the medical was done after August 1st? Mine was done in January so I thought I was exempt from that. I think its just been lost sadly, but who knows!?

Hi,

Excuse me for posting twice in an hour.

However I have a question. As my earlier post said, I have been given an RFE for a lost medical, but does this mean I also need to get a new vaccination supplement done at the doctors? I didn't think it did as I sent in my vaccination form, the DS form, and I have had them all and it says so on the form, but do they just automatically require a new one?

Thanks

Lily

Hi Karin,

I thought it was for that, and so I was not too worried, then I came on here this mornign and freaked out lol! It says

"MEDICAL EXAMINATION (FORM I-693)

"Please submit a properly completed and signed for I-693, Medical Exam of ALiens seeking AOS"

SO unfortuantely I am fairly certain its for this not the I693A. It is so annoying as I have already spent alot in London to get this done, and it seems to be arbitrarily lost. But I guess now all I can do is fix it!

Thanks

Lily

Hi,

I just got an RFE for the medical exam, which of course I had in London.

I see from the posts that I have to really get a WHOLE new one, and I am obviously really frustrated as we have already paid for one.

Has anyone please gone through London to get theirs re-sent to them?

Thanks

Lily

OOH!!! I just got my Advanced parole e-mail too!!!!

YEAH!!

Good luck everyone

Hi All fellow June filers,

Congratulations to everyone who heard of progress on their case, and to everyone else, I am sure its about to come good for you too!

I got a CRIS approval notice today, saying they have ordered production of my EAD card on August 18th, so at least something has happened, although I have a wedding in London in early September, so still really got fingers crossed for my AP lol!

Good luck to everyone,

Lily

Sorry, my biometrics was on July 15th, and my notice date was the SAME day, July 15th. Tried to edit it but didn't pan out ;-)

Hi,

I just wanted to join up with all you June filers. We filed in June, as my timeline shows. I am not sure exactly how to add my stats to the thread, but am more than happy to, if someone tells me how to!

Also, people seem to be talking about getting transferred to California. Is this particularly good? I had my bio appts on July 14th, and the transfer notice I got this week, said I was transferred to California on the next day, July 15th. Anyway, I hope this helps some, and good luck to all of you other June filers!

Hi,

Could someone please confirm, what I as a K1 fiancee adjusting my status should put in Question 16 of the EAD form?

The question is "Eligibility Categories". I think I am (a) (6), but could someone more knowlegeable than myself please confirm?

Thanks

Lily

Hey,

congratulations on getting it all sent off, can i just ask anyone reading this, is the NOA1 necessary? I thought it was just the NOA2 we needed?

Thanks

Lily

Hi again,

Sorry for a new post, but I just read here, that I need to send the ORIGINAL marriage certificate? I thought USCIS only ever wanted copies unless specified.

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;#entry1854860

So is this righ, or will a copy suffice??

Thanks

Lily

thanks

also on the EAD form, where it asks for my current immigration status, am I a

" K1 non immigrant fiancee of US citizen", or now that we are married do I need to put wife?

Hi,

I have a few questions about the I 131, advance parole document.

In part 3 it says " if you are applying for advance parole, skip to part 7". I think this is what I need to do, but wanted to check, before I left out alot of the form.

Also in part 7 it tells you to explain your circumstances, and how I qualify and provide evidence on a separate sheet of paper. What kind of evidence do I need, how do I qualify (simply because I am a K1 status) and does everyone need to write this letter?

Thanks alot

Lily
