On the bright side the doctor said since they usually only do this medical stuff in the afternoon and where I am coming from they will do it in the morning for me. 💓 Now I just need to time everything from the boat ride, to the lyft or uber, to the doc, how long it will take at the doc, and coming back lol.

@Aserc @Edward and Jaycel Sorry if messaging was rash. I stressed a bit now since there is only 1 qualified doctor near my island else I would have to travel a bit further which brings even higher added costs. Just trying to figure out how I will manage to get this all done. I do we all have everything go well for all of us. This process is so stressful again.

Apologies I was trying to find a civil surgeon in my area. I found one that is able to do it for us as early as next week. It will cost $300 to do plus I have traveling expenses since we live on different islands the doctor and me but don't really have a choice it needs to be done.

If it's stating you have to get the vaccine or proof it was administered wouldn't going to a doctor that can do it and signing off be it a letter or paper showing the vaccine was given count as proof? It's confusing cause if I being told I have to do part of I-693 but I could also show proof it was done wouldn't either be accpetable?

So it had to be done by a civil surgeon then?

Planning on getting her vaccine as soon as possible hopefully by the end of next week depending on availability for appointments.

I do appreciate you giving me a heads up. I still have some time since the interview not till the end of the month. I had to check her medical she did at SLEC it was in July of last year so I will have to get her Polio vaccine as soon as I can.

I just checked and she did not. Now I'm stressing trying to find a civil surgeon before the interview. Thank you for the heads up though. 👍

Only thing I not really sure of is the medical: Her medical she did for the K1 visa expires in mid July but from all the notices I have received so far I did not get anything about doing another medical exam for her. For my understanding as long as the AOS was filed within 1 year of the medical being done we should be ok unless they ask for it. We will bring a copy of her medical exam from that time just in case though for the interview. One of my RFE was the Affidavit of Support which I did send in and after that the interview was scheduled but I will fill another one out and bring the required tax papers just in case as well. My gosh it's alot of stuff to check for and make sure I have lol. Little bit stressed now.

Yes of course. I happy that hopefully this part of the process will be done and goes well. 🥰 Thank you! 💓

Since my wife interview has been scheduled I have another question for anyone who can answer. A week later me and her will be on vacation traveling to see my family in the USA mainland. It should still be safe to travel while they make a decision on her case after the interview? Also if by any chance they do make a decision like approved while we are on vacation should I be concerned since if approved she would need her greencard right away? Unfortunately I cannot change the vacation plans now that is my main concern now.

Mine is in Honolulu since I live in Hawaii.

New update today Interview was scheduled for June 30th Right before our vacation

I still have a original copy of my marriage certificate and I tried to get more they let us order more copies online and usually takes 6 to 8 weeks now its been 3 months with no update. They have three numbers you can call 2 are no longer in service the other nobody picks up and even the email nobody answers. 🤣 The consulate here makes us email pictures of all the paperwork first before we can even send anything in. The first time I did the notary I used put their seal on a spot where the consulate didn't want it so when I redid it they said it was fine and after I sent the paperwork in like 4 days they sent back what they needed with an attached paper stating in about 6 months you may apply for the update passport with the updated name. lol.

Have her EAD, also have her State ID (no driver license for now) will also bring her passport, receipt notice as well and will bring a copy of our marriage certificate. Her passport has her maiden name so already filed for the name change but the Philippines Consulate sent the paperwork in and told us at least 6 months before we can file to get her passport updated.

Domestically HI to NY

I see. I had to refile my AOS due to a filing mistake on my part but I would assume the date they say they received it would be the cutoff for the 90 days. Still stressing about everything since we have a vacation coming up and I do have everything I need in case someone does ask just with everything going on and with all the constant changes I still worry. Trying to stay positive at the moment. ❤️

I have a question then. Does that mean you need to file the AOS in the 90 days as well before the K1 expires?

Congrats!! Also filed in January still awaiting for now. Wishing you a good interview.

I would wait as others have said.

Congrats!!

The waiting is the hard part lol. On the one hand not hearing anything can be a good thing like not getting more RFEs but also just not knowing when the next update will be can be a drag. So far everything has been smooth sailing apart from my filing mistake in the beginning for my wife AOS so I am grateful for that. 💓

Awesome to hear! I filed 5 days before your but I also got a RFE so I probably waiting a bit for mine. Wishing your interview goes well and glad things are moving quickly for you. 🥰

I was very lucky to get my wife's EAD processed quickly when I did. Just checked currently this is what the current processing time is. There are also many factors that can also play into processing times though as MalloryCat has stated with all the recent changes going on I would expect all kinds of cases with USCIS to be moving more slowly now.

Pretty much exactly why I just mail everything that they might ask for
