Half an Orange

Yes, thanks to everyone's help I realize now he got all of his requirements in. I truly thought we had to get the next does before we could proceed. Now I know! Thank you guys so much!

I'm looking right now and his DS3025 does indeed have a "B" marked on both his Hep B and Td vaccine. Also it's checked next to "K1 applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements" So that means he doesn't need the I-693 at all? I simply include the DS-3025 with his application and leave it at that? I'm so frustrated with myself that I thought we had to put in the wait to get in to see his Dr for his completed vaccine. But luckily we can get it sent in much sooner now! Thank you SO MUCH for your help!

I seem to remember it mentioning something about him voluntarily completing the requirements but I'm going to have to check when I get home. Even if he doesn't need a new medical exam, the civil surgeon will still have to fill out the vaccination portion though, correct?

That accounts for some of the wait, unfortunately. He got the first part of his Hep B series in the UK and was told to get the rest here. However, he couldn't get the same brand that they used in the UK and we checked a lot of places. So the doctor recommended he start the process over. Instead of paying $400 out-of-pocket for the series we were able to get it through his insurance. To make a long story short, we had to wait to get in to see his doctor then wait another month to have his last shot (which he will be receiving on April 14th). Then, aside from having the civil surgeon complete their part, everything is ready to be filed.

Understood. We will work as quickly as we can! Thank you very much.

I understand and we are very aware that this is a possibility. We are working on getting it done as fast as we can. Thank you. This was our thought too but we wanted to hear people's thoughts here. Thank you.

We were hoping that was the case. We should be able to get the AOS application in within the next two to four weeks. We just wanted to make sure that our AOS chances wouldn't be ruined because we hadn't registered between now and then if it was required.

My husband came to America in October 2024 on a K1 visa. We married in November. He went "Out of Status" in January and we are working on applying for his Adjustment of Status. We weren't able to file before January but have most of the application complete aside from the I-693 because we have to get his HepB shot and see a civil surgeon. This may be a silly question but I'm just hoping for a bit of reassurance because we're very anxious. A federal judge is allowing the current administration to move forward with a requirement for illegal immigrants to register with the federal government and carry documentation. We're both worried that his "Out of Status" classification means that he is here illegally and will be required to register. I'm hoping you all might be able to explain how this works and where my husband would fall into it, if at all. And of course, we're working on getting his AOS application completed ASAP! Thank you so much for any help you might be able to give us.

I'm glad to hear that! I'm hoping we won't have to schedule them too far out!

@ScarletWitch6x @summer4042 Here is the letter he received. Sorry the edges are a little blurry

I hope they get to your case soon. It's nerve-wracking having to wait. The embassy didn't schedule his appointment. The letter stated that he should attend his medical exam first /then/ make an appointment for the interview. That's not how I have understood it to be done from other people here on VJ but those were the instructions in the letter.

Yes, he got a letter in the post. It was just very simple with instructions on the next steps. I hope you get yours soon! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

My fiance just got his letter from the London embassy today! He's going to schedule his medical on Monday. It was just over 8 weeks from our NOA2 to getting this letter. Have you heard anything yet?

@ScarletWitch6xTHank you SO much for this. I'm in the exact same position it seems as @summer4042, waiting for the NVC to send our petition to London. Got my NOA2 on May 13th and my case was finally marked as ready on June 24th. I've been really stressed and unsure and this reassured me that everything is going normally. Hoping my fiance will get his embassy letter in the coming week!

I see. I suspected that was the case but gave it a try anyway. Unfortunately I don't have a case number from them yet. I'll fill out the public enquiry form from above and try to be patient!

Just tried putting the USCIS receipt # in the immigrant visa search and it said "Your search did not return any data." I will go ahead and fill out the NVC form. Thanks so much for the link!

Two weeks ago I got the NOA2 for my I-129F application. I just tried to call the NVC (phone # on this site is given as 603 334-0700) to see if they had received my application. Unfortunately they have closed this line down. The recorded message sent me to nvc.state.gov. On that website there is an announcement that says this "Answers to many common questions can be found using our self-service tools. Please log into https://ceac.state.gov for your most current case status and for a list of any documents you are required to submit." When I use that link, I assumed I could find what I needed under "Check my Visa application status" under "Non-immigrant" Unfortunately the only case number I have is the USCIS receipt Number (WAC***) but that appears to be wrong. I'm not really sure what to do at this point so if someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!

I'm still fairly new to all of this, but if there is one thing I've learned from everyone here on VJ, it's to be completely honest. As far as I know you're not doing anything illegal and it's how you make your living, so there's no way to avoid it. I think your best bet is to be completely open and honest about it, and if someone is uncomfortable about the images, that's on them! Good luck!!

From what I've seen in the forums here that's a pretty typical wait time. Every case is different. If you're truly worried you could call the USCIS Customer Service line but at only 10 days I suspect they're going to tell you just to be patient. Unfortunately, things move slowly with immigration. Sorry, I wish I could put your mind at ease! Good luck!

K1 guide gives a 2-3 week wait time. It can take longer though from what I've seen in the forums.

You'll get it! Don't panic. You're still well within the time frame for it! Let me know when it does arrive though!

I did get a text. I sent my application on February 6th, they received it in TX on the 8th and I got a text notification on the 13th. I just received the actual receipt of it in the mail yesterday (Feb. 20th) Now that I think about it, Monday was a holiday so offices were probably closed!

Try not to compare your case to others! Easier said than done, I know. But it'll only add to your stress. You'll get your notice just give it a bit more time!

It can take anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks to get the NOA1. I've seen some folks here on VJ take a bit longer. You were able to verify it arrived so that's good! Now you just have to wait. I know it's stressful! I'm just starting the process myself! Did you fill out the G-1145 (E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance - link below!) and attach it to the front of your application? They'll send you a text and/or email once they've received it. If you didn't, don't worry, you'll get the NOA1 through the mail, it'll just take a bit longer! https://www.uscis.gov/g-1145

That's true! Thank you for listing the pros and cons as well!
