    I saw that advice, but the closet one was 4 hours away. But in my research, I seen a lot of people saying that once you are already in the borders, it's not CBP concern anymore, it's USCIS's... especially if it's months later. I talked to an USCIS agent and he told me to bring it to the field office, which was like 2.5 hour drive. He said no appointment was needed but I didn't trust that. So I tried to make an appointment but they denied me an appointment. I asked on a lawyer site, AVVO and one suggested to just mail it to them. Must easier than driving all those hours... and I would be pissed on the way back if I was turned away.
  6. happyscrub started following RFE but no information on what they want. , Reporting for anyone else who have these problems - Did not give k1 visa yellow envelope to CBP at PoE. Got an RFE for a complete medical. and What exactly are you given back from the yellow envelope you are supposed to give to customs when you enter PoE?

    1. My wife did medical for K1 visa but did not get the hepatitis vaccine in her home country. 2. We arrived at port of entry with K1 visa. The process was extremely fast and CBP didn't ask for our envelope. I assumed that maybe it was digitalized and already sent to them. They just waived us thru. 3. We get the hepatitis vaccine and took the DS-???? (can't remember the name) to a doctor in the U.S.. They told us we needed to do a new one but I had to go back and forth with them in emails to explain to them we did not need a completed medical. 4. We filed for AOS and got some RFEs about medical. A: First was saying we needed to send a completed medical. I replied with "my wife is a K1 visa holder. She wasn't required to do a new one." B: Then they replied saying there was no medial on their file so we must show proof or do a new one. After researching on what to do, I decided to mail them the unopened yellow envelope and explain to them what happened at port of entry. 5. Green card was approved. 6. happy dance. I'm a stubborn person and I like to argue and research. I think my wife would have had her green card maybe 2-3 months earlier if I just paid to get a new medical from the start. But despite all the advice online saying to just do a new medical, even by lawyers, I'm here to say you do not have to.

    Hello. We just approved today with no interview. I think we would have gotten approved earlier because we got a lot of RFEs about our medical starting at the end of December. Short story is they wanted us to submit a medical and I went back and forth with them because we didn't need to. I for sure was thinking we were going to be punished with an interview later. LOL Our case was in Montgomery Alabama.

    It's hard to find this information online and I want to know what exactly they are taking out of the envelope and given back to you

    USCIS automated answer system doesn't help. We used a "cheat" to talk to a live agent, but my wife doesn't speak english well and the agent hung up on us because I answered a question for her and I wasn't allowed to (asked for her birthday. She don't know how to say March in english). I'm attempted to answer the mail with our medical and tell them that's what we assumed they were asking for and tell them they didn't state what they wanted. I seen one other person on the internet go thru the samething and it was the mecial they wanted

    We did not send in medical with the petition and we didn't have the official proof of family base green card eligibility (some document name as numbers and letters that we didn't keep. But I read it's not a problem). A week ago our status changed to RFE back to processing all in one day, and our case advanced pass step 3 (attend interview if necessary) to step 4. Today I get this mail but it's not stating what they want in the RFE. The document is the same on the website. This is the first page and the 2nd page it just further instructions and where to mail. Our case online is back to REF status Thoughts? I'm going to call today. I assume it's the medical. We never got the courtesy medical letter that I hear about. I think it will be the medical, but I wanted to post this and will update because I can't find much information from people who had similar experiences

    Go to the adjust of status part of this forum now. Your K1 visa journey is over. You have 90 days from your fiancee entry date into the US to mail in the documents. Did your fiancée have all their vaccines done? If not, you need to complete that. They should of been given a paper (I forget the name) where the embassy doctor checked off if they were vaccinated or not with all the required vaccines. If not, you need to find a civil surgeon to complete it. That's the most lengthy process that you don't want to wait until the last min to do

    It doesn't ask for that. It only states it as an option among a list of options to show evidence.

    If you show transcripts of last year, then that's the end of the investigation. You don't have to volunteer and say, "BTW, I'm not longer workering, deny me" I don't know why so many people are recommending pay stubs. It's not good as transcripts.

    Both if neither of you meet the requirements and you are combining your incomes to meet the limit. But I assume you only need one person to do so. But if that one person doesn't pass the income requirements by a good margin, I'll file both to make it look better. my mistake

    Officially, you do nothing until the embassy contacts you. No reason to be rushing to file documents that takes a day to do weeks in advance when they haven't asked you to do so yet. To get a good idea how long the wait will be, you should visit forums related to your country. Many countries are different. It's going to take atleast a month or more for them to process it and ship it and for the embassy to receive it for many countries. And on top of that, the embassy has to go over it and then contact you when they are ready for you to start the process. If anything, the best thing to do is research how to get the police certificate and birth certificate (and divorce, death certificate from past relationship and proof of being able to be married if your country does that) and if there's any special requirements for them. Like in our country, the requirements had to be that the documents couldn't be more than 3 months old. And also, get any documents saying you have vaccines before or they will make you take vaccines you may have already had for the medical exam. I would add, if the wait seems unusually long, i would contact NVC just to keep in contact. And if they say they sent it, I would contact the embassy too if it's unusually long just to keep on contact.

    Don't put deceased. Can't background check "deceased". Just put the current information of when they died. And the only information they ask for that would matter on this subject is country and city.

    This post just shows a problem here of too much advice on doing things without waiting for instructions. People flood the net with information to cheat the system to get a skip in line when some of those tricks really only work in certain countries. But people give this advice as general advice for all.

    You are unemployed but will you make enough money this year to get over the 29k(?) threshold? Whatever it is. If so, than all you need is your tax transcripts to show you made enough.
