how do you know if you have been touched??

My Husband has been working while here on his K-1 visa becuase paper work said that he was authorized to work with a K-1 visa. Now we are getting the papers together to file for his AOS and File the EAD and don't know if he will be allowed to work durring the window of time when his K-1 expires and we recieve his EAD. (( do we file teh EAD as a new or a renewal ??)) Been trying to figure this one out- but can not find any information. If any one knows something about this please help!

If you did not have a prior EAD card it would be new and you can file it in conjunction with the AOS.

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years.

Results of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Over the past decade, the percent of Americans with genital herpes infection in the U.S. has decreased.

Genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of eight). This may be due to male-to-female transmission being more likely than female-to-male transmission.

HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and released from the sores that the viruses cause, but they also are released between outbreaks from skin that does not appear to have a sore. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected.

HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called “fever blisters.” HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks.

Most people infected with HSV-2 are not aware of their infection. However, if signs and symptoms occur during the first outbreak, they can be quite pronounced. The first outbreak usually occurs within two weeks after the virus is transmitted, and the sores typically heal within two to four weeks. Other signs and symptoms during the primary episode may include a second crop of sores, and flu-like symptoms, including fever and swollen glands. However, most individuals with HSV-2 infection never have sores, or they have very mild signs that they do not even notice or that they mistake for insect bites or another skin condition.

People diagnosed with a first episode of genital herpes can expect to have several (typically four or five) outbreaks (symptomatic recurrences) within a year. Over time these recurrences usually decrease in frequency. It is possible that a person becomes aware of the “first episode” years after the infection is acquired.

Genital herpes can cause recurrent painful genital sores in many adults, and herpes infection can be severe in people with suppressed immune systems. Regardless of severity of symptoms, genital herpes frequently causes psychological distress in people who know they are infected.

In addition, genital HSV can lead to potentially fatal infections in babies. It is important that women avoid contracting herpes during pregnancy because a newly acquired infection during late pregnancy poses a greater risk of transmission to the baby. If a woman has active genital herpes at delivery, a cesarean delivery is usually performed. Fortunately, infection of a baby from a woman with herpes infection is rare.

Herpes may play a role in the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Herpes can make people more susceptible to HIV infection, and it can make HIV-infected individuals more infectious.

The signs and symptoms associated with HSV-2 can vary greatly. Health care providers can diagnose genital herpes by visual inspection if the outbreak is typical, and by taking a sample from the sore(s) and testing it in a laboratory. HSV infections can be diagnosed between outbreaks by the use of a blood test. Blood tests, which detect antibodies to HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection, can be helpful, although the results are not always clear-cut.

There is no treatment that can cure herpes, but antiviral medications can shorten and prevent outbreaks during the period of time the person takes the medication. In addition, daily suppressive therapy for symptomatic herpes can reduce transmission to partners.

The surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including genital herpes, is to abstain from sexual contact, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected.

Genital ulcer diseases can occur in both male and female genital areas that are covered or protected by a latex condom, as well as in areas that are not covered. Correct and consistent use of latex condoms can reduce the risk of genital herpes.

Persons with herpes should abstain from sexual activity with uninfected partners when lesions or other symptoms of herpes are present. It is important to know that even if a person does not have any symptoms he or she can still infect sex partners. Sex partners of infected persons should be advised that they may become infected and they should use condoms to reduce the risk. Sex partners can seek testing to determine if they are infected with HSV. A positive HSV-2 blood test most likely indicates a genital herpes infection.

Good luck , we just mailed in ours last week.

ps. on the USCIS web site they have tips on how to put the application together, click on forms then on the upper right it has a link to general instructions on immigration forms.

I received an RFE for a long form birth certificate. Called to ask if I could include other evidence. The lady w/the asian accent answered. I had read on other posts, how she was rude to other members. All other c.s. reps have stated thier name and ID number. I also have spoken to immigration officers twice,greeted by their name & I.D. number. The lady this morning was very rude, while trying to ask about including passport page copies she told me to "read the letter from the RFE from top to bottom to me".. After she got past bieng rude and obnoxious she bsaid it would be OK to include the passport copies . I ask her for her name and I. D. she hung up on me ! Seriously thinking about calling ombudsmans office after my case leaves CSC. This is not the way govt. employees are supposed to act. JOHN&JEAN

I had a similair experience...refused to give thier #....whats the ombudsman's office??? good luck

what does touched mean???

We had a similiar situation and they requested a new I-693. Get a new complete physical by the Civil Surgeon in the sealed envolope and send them exactly what they request or the will deny. We were denied and now have to refile the whole AOS and EAD and get a new medical, which costs a hell of a lot mre than just a completed physical......talking from experience....they don't give second chances if you send a copy, and don't trust what they tell you on the phone. It is what is in writing on the RFE that they go by.

Good luck!!!!!

AOS sent Feb 6th 2008. Received in Chicago on the 7th......good luck to all...

hello....does the work verification letter sent with the application need to be the original?? I was reading that as of July supporting documents can be copies, but keep the originals in case they ask for them atr an interview....

My wife needs to have a TB test done for the Adjustment of Status. Does anyone know of a Doctor in the Boston area that does this for a low fee. The cheapest I've found so far is $185. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Matt & Libby

Did u check with the list of civil surgeons in the Boston area.....or Public health department........185...is too much

after Chicago where does the AOS go to be processed???any one know....Thanks

after the AOS is filed to the Chicago...which service center takes it from there????

thanks for the info so far....we plan to re-apply for the aos and ead this week.

...does anyone know if USCIS cross checks with the Social security administration to see if an aos applicant is receiving wages/working ...????

We just went through that this month......get what ever they ask for and make sure it is complete.....it is not worth getting denied, we now have to file a whole new AOS, med exam .......of course with the fees!!

my wife get a leter for her aos interview, next day get a letter canceling the interview, the new day a letter demanding med. and vacination information.

we did the med. examintaion in jaurez mexico in oct.

how do i get this information to the person processing our file ?

i am not going to pay double for somthing already done..

any suggestions ?

anyone know what can happen if your working after your EAD has terminated while applying for an AOS??

Hello...this is our recent experience. My wife had her medical exam and chest ex-ray, they just gave her a copy of her ex-ray and approved her finace visa. They did not tell her anything after the medical exam. After we applied for her adjustment when she got there to the USA, we got a notice saying she had a class B medical condition...but she was never told she had one, they wound up denying her AOS because we did not provide her afollow up for that...we never knew what to follow for...so after your exam and chest e-ray specifically ask them if you have a class b medical condition and if you ned to follow up with a civil surgeon here in the USA to make sure you do not have infectios TB or need treatment or clearnace ect.......

Were currently waiting case to be completed. Since we (filipino) are highly susceptible to become a TB candidate I am anxious to be one of them now Im thinking to have an early chest xray examination to a private hospital just to make sure everything's ok. Assuming negative result do we (me and my son) need to undergo repeat xray in SLEC even if we had latest chest xray exam? (of course film to be presented) Does Sputum test only for those who are a positive TB applicant? What are the medical procedure for my 4 yrs old son?

Pls enlighten me guys

Thanks

We had AOS denied because of a class B medical condition....USCIS said we did did not provide the correct additional evidence........any way we are applying for a new AOS and we had a new medical exam...( no class B conditions!! so thats is fine).......with the denila of AS they said the EAD was terminated also....the EAD was approved in Oct 2007 and has been working since then...she did not stop when she got the AOS denial. now I am thinking will that be aproblem with the new AOS /EAD filing we are doing next week????any experiances with this???

Thanks !!

Why can't the health issues and immigration issues be dealt with at the same time?

My suggestion would be to find a doctor who is also a Civil Surgeon. Use the Civil Surgeon locater on uscis.gov.

At the same time, seek competent immigration counsel.

There really isn't a lot of time to waste here. There is a deadline on motions to reopen (I believe it is 30 days).

Yes we have done both...we are currently getting a new physical done and have retained a lawyer...just want to know if others have had similar situations....what happens if we don't adjust status....does her K-1 visa run out or????

I had Vaccination sheet problem bcs i didnt send them new form ,only embassy form(for second time).and they denied my application.i hired attorney in orderto "motion to reopen"but they denied motion too.and i filed everything from the first.

Now its up to u.in my opinion re-filing is faster and has money profit as well.

Did you re-apply for AOS ????? Her Emploment autherization was termination also...do we have to file for a new EAD also???? Thank you

Are you certain the denial was due to Class "B"?

Based on what I've read, that is due to being infected with tuberculosis - Class "A" could be for (among other things) not documenting a vaccine.

The notice said she had a "class B" medical condition......

Hello, has anyone had experience with an AOS denied. We filed our AOS on July 07, and then recieved a notice in NOV07 saying they needed additional evidence because she had a class B medical condition, but did not tell us what the specific condition is. She was never told that after her medical exam in the Philipines. The only paper work they gave her was the Vaccination worksheet which said her immunizations were incomplete and she needed a tetnus shot. We called the USCIS national service center and asked for clarification, we were told just to submit the updated vaccination form and have the civil surgeon sign a new I-693 stating her shots were all complete. We did that. Then on Jan 11th we received notice her AOS was denied because we did not have a complete I-693 ...because she had a class B medical condition, it also said that she was told to see a physicain with in 30 days of arriving in the US....which she was never told. We are unsure whether to file a new AOS or try to re-open the denied one. We are in the process of getting a full exam by a civil surgeon....we have 30 days if we are to file to reopen. Our concern is that is we file to re-open they will deny it and start proceedings for deportation, and won't be able to file a new AOS. In the denila letter it says we can open future cases without prejuduce....but if we we file to re-open and it is denied will we still have the option to file a new AOS????
