  1. Ours was approved 01/08/2025 and card received 01/18/2025
  2. I call it "front-loading". The I-129F and its supporting documents is all going to be sent to the embassy for the Consular Officer to review upon the interview. The better your evidence in that packet, the more smoothly the interview will go. Our packet was 109 pages.... Jaycel's interview was less than 3 minutes before it was verbally approved and she was let go.
  3. WOO HOO!! Almost done with USCIS 😁🎉
  4. Yeah... we didn't even try to open anything in Jaycel's name until she had her SSN
  5. I would wait until NVC gives you an interview schedule for your parents and then schedule the medical exam to happen 7-14 days before the interview
  6. You have one and only one chance to satisfy this RFE - Get it officially translated and notarized. Don't let cost be the determinate factor in how you respond
  7. We did the same but I think ours was like 20 pages (I'm OCD Like that LOL) Ours was 2 pages also Ours was 109 pages.... Like I said OCD. LOL
  8. Your parents will need to do a medical exam locally at the medical facility that is authorized to do them by the US Embassy. Their medical report will either be sent directly to the Embassy by the medical facility or your parents will each be given a sealed envelope to hand carry to their interview appointment. It will not be uploaded to NVC.
  9. We included a letter from Jaycel's Mother and her sister detailing their knowledge and support of our relationship, our excitement to start our lives together as husband and wife and their knowledge of our plans to build a life together in the US as a married couple.
  10. I can't share it here but you can pretty easily Google it
  11. We use USAA Bank which is used to seeing foreign passports of wives, fiancees, etc., so that may have made the difference. For those that don't know, USAA is for military members and their families.
  12. Looks like over the past week they have started approving several I-485s submitted in September
  13. We were able to get Jaycel added as a joint account holder on my bank account with her Philippine Passport and SSN
  14. Montreal is the only option for K-1s I believe
  15. And beware, Montreal has a reputation for being sloooowwwww for the whole visa process including Administrative Processing and visa issuance
  16. Just as further information, for those adjusting status and have the EAD card but not their green card yet, the EAD card (I-766) is a REAL ID document, so if you want to use that to travel domestically, TSA will accept it.
  17. Yes... We included a Certified True Copy of our Marriage Certificate. Luckily the County Clerk here makes it really easy to record the completed certificate and get copies. We got married on a Friday and went to the Clerk on that following Monday, had our certificate recorded and walked out with 10 Certified copies all in about a 20 minute visit.
  18. Here a link to the November AOS Filers Thread where I listed our cover letters' tables of contents
  19. While true, I always go by the philosophy of sending the strongest case possible and with the AOS, hoping to get a waiver for the interview
  20. Wow! That was quick, Congratulations! 🎉
  21. Jaycel got two in each arm and one in the leg, poor thing 😢
  22. The only vaccine record Jaycel had when she went to SLEC was her COVID Vaccines so on day 2 of the exam, they administered 5 vaccines and she was all good to go. The cost of the vaccines is included in the medical exam fee so it is way cheaper than getting the antibody tests done.
