I got an RFE for Birth certficate.

Submit a copy of applicant's birth certificate issued by the appropriate civil authority.

IF the document is in a language other than english, you must submit a copy of the foreign

language document and an english translation.

if birth certificate is not available, per title 8 code of federal regulations, section 103.2(B)(2)(ii),

you must submit "an original written statement on government letterhead

establishing this form the relevant government or other authority.

The statement must indicate the reason the record does not exist, and indicate whether similar records

for the time and place are available"

In this case, should I submit original or copy of the document.

I am planning to get non-availability certificate and send the affidavits from two other persons.

Would that be fine.

Thanks..

Should I submit the original for non-availability certificate or copy.

You're welcome, good luck to you & your love!

Thanks for your help.

This will be useful for me.

Hi I am a U.S. citizen filing for AOS for my non-non citizen spouse. Is my understanding of fees correct?

1. I-765 - I am filing for a new EAD under category ©(9). ©(9) is exempted only under renewal. This is not listed as an exception so should I pay the $340?

2. I-485 - $1010. This includes I-131 fee is filed together.

3. I-130 - $355 fee

Are these all the fees needed? Any help will be helpful. Especially if I need to pay for I-765. Thanks

There is no fee for I-765.

I got an RFE for I-485 saying that I have to submit my birth certificate.

But, I have submitted "Affidavit of birth from two persons".

Did anybody get this RFE.

Your input is much appreciated.

Can, somebody respond. This is very urgent

Applied for EAD & I-485 for K3 visa holder.

I have received the receipt for both of these. the receipt # starts with MSC-XX-XXX-XXXXX

Is there anyway to check the staus of this application online.

They have given the contact phone#, but there is no mention on the online website info for status checking.

Also, what is the current processing times.

I am applying for AOS, EAD based off of my k3 visa. and also applying in USA.

I was going through the VJ forum to find out the cost for applying AOS/EAD forms.

I see the I-485 form says $1010. but VJ forum says $1010 + $131

Can you please confirm, which one is correct.

Also the medical report given by them was not sealed.

Is that Ok.

I have heard various rumors about the 693. My wife passed her physical and had all the required immunizations. She will arrive here in May, and we will begin the process of adjusting status.

What is the OFFICIAL word of what she must submit for the I-693? Does she have to still go to a civil surgeon, approved by USCIS? Does she have to have a new 693 completed in which the immuniztions she received is transferred to the new 693? That is what I heard... I am very confused. I also was told some civil surgeons require her getting a completely new physical at the cost of a few hundred dollars.

What is the offical word, please?

Thanks so much.

Did anyone receive a final answer on this? Leaning towards just doing it before we mail to remove any doubt or chances for RFE.

Does the medical report for K3 visa interview requires vaccinations.

My spouse went for medical checkup and they did not ask anything about vaccination requirements.

Is this required for K3 VISA.

She got her laboratory test and went for medical interview and got medical report.

Is this correct, can any body confirm.

Just in case, if someone was wondering. The Applicant's Statement doesn't really matter. It will not delay or cause any problem.

my wife did not receive applicants statement at all.

only received following forms with the K3 packet:

1. ds-156 2 copies

2. ds-230 part 1

3. i-134

following documents are required:

1. birth certificate

2. medical

3. us passport

4. citizenship certificate

5 etc..

In my opinion, if you do respond to NVC regarding CR1, you may have both the options available. If K3 is approved first, your spouse can get here quicker and then go back for the I 130 interview again. You may end up spending some money on airfare, however you save on AOS.

In my case also, I got both(i-130 and I-129F) approved at the same time.

I am persuing k3 route. my wife got k3 interview apt next month.

I got a letter from NVC asking me to proceed with i-130 route.

What should I do with this letter

Anyone out there ? Please help!!

I do not see DS-157 as part of packet 3 checklist or anywhere in the website.

Is this form required for K3 visa.

Congratulations mate!

How to check the status of the NVC case# "mln####'.

How to track when your spouse will receive the letter.. etc..

I know! all i can do on the ap thing is pray i guess...

did you get the case# from NVC for I-129F , k3 - vsia?

How long it took for you receive case#.

Thanks

since I-130 AND I-129F got approved on the same day, which route you took.

at what stage you decided K3 or CR1?

should I get ready with remaining forms assuming that I am going with I-130?

If the I-130 is approved and the I-129F is NOT... the I-129F will not be approved...

the I-129F will only be approved before or at the same time as the I-130...

Since the I-130 is approved and if the I-129F really has not been approved, the I-129F is dead.

This statement makes me wonder why did USCIS approve my I-129F 2 days after the I-130, I too was shocked to see it approved after the I-130. USCIS is so confusing at times. But since Washington DC USCIS got involved in my case, I wonder if this is why the I-129F was approved anyways after I-130.

what does this mean?

Now can I not opt for K3 visa.

If the appropriate petitions are approved you can opt for what you want

Thank you payxibka..

The K3 Visa applicants whom have had their I-130 approved prior to their I-129f may chose to persue the I-130 path as opposed the the K3. This will allow the immigrating relative to enter as a permanent resident as opposed to having to file for adjustment once here. If the I-129f is later approved and forwarded to the embassy then you can write them to request the approved I-130 be acted on and the K-3 process abandoned.

Does this mean i have only one option.

If the I-130 is approved and the I-129F is NOT... the I-129F will not be approved...

the I-129F will only be approved before or at the same time as the I-130...

Hi,

I just wanted to add that the I-129F CAN be approved after the I-130. Our I-130 approval notice date was March 26th, 2009 and our I-129F approval notice date was June 5, 2009. The timing worked out perfectly for us because we had an RFE at the NVC for our CR-1, so by the time the K-3 made it to the embassy we were able to switch our CR-1 interview to the K-3 interview date.

what does this mean?

Now can I not opt for K3 visa.

Well this is confusing, because the last statement on that page says:

USCIS Response on August 18, 2008: USCIS does not notify the Department of State regarding the termination of the K-3 petition, since such termination does not affect the immigrant visa process or the applicant’s eligibility for an immigrant visa. It should be noted, however, that USCIS is no longer administratively closing the I-129F/K-3s and that it is sending both the approved I-129F/K-3 petition and the approved I-130 petition to the Department of State. My 129F and I130 were both approved and sent on together in May of this year. I suggest the OP call USCIS and ask that her call be escalated. There might be more to this case than meets the eye.

thanks for your response.

I checked the status of I-129 F. the status is now changed to approved.

What next?
