Hello,

We got our approval text and checked online today. It's been approved 5/2/2013. Didn't even expect it just so soon. So we are happy it's done and now only one more step and we are done with USCIS.

Just got our letter for the bio it's 2-14-13 so calling them help out to get the bio appointment.

We called and they said nothing is wrong with our application and they are putting in a request for the bio. Also gave us another tracking number that people recieve on their bio appointment form. It actually works when you enter it online. Hopefully that will get something going.

VSC and the bio place was very slow when we did it last time for the AOS. We were the only people in there and it took about 10 mins.

We haven't received our Bio appointent either. We filed 11/24/12 and our NOA1 dated 11/27/12 and haven't heard anything yet.

She got her GC in the mail today! It's dated 02-08-2011 that's her birthday. So they made the card and approved it awhile ago and mail it a few days ago lol weird way the government works.

Thanks for the answers guys. We booked our trip to the UK to see my parents and brother in England then off to Poland.

Thanks guys! It's so great we booked a the flights to the UK to see my parents in England and then off to Poland in May. Can't wait for that and finally she will be able to do stuff. Now I just gotta sell my car and buy a new one soon after and it's going to be a great week.

That's good news because we booked that cheap flight to the UK were my parents and brother lives for May 11th so that's even more then 60 days away from the ADIT process that they say.

Thanks.

Now when can we file for removal of conditions? I forgot 2 years? or is that 21 months from now?

We were approved today for the AOS! Finally

Seems like we are the only ones still waiting. Anyways if there is anyone that still is waiting on their GC good luck this will be the week.

If it's important for you to work or travel I would fill it out. We filled out the EAD and not the AP she doesn't need to work so but we figured if she wanted to or needed to go to work she could. Been going to school for English since she got here last March so that's keeps her busy each day plus she is getting good at this English stuff Anyhow we are still waiting on the GC and we filed in June of 2010 and it was sent to CSC to speed up the process lol.

YuandDan did I read that write 290$ for AOS in July of 2007? Wow talk about rate increases.

Good luck to the few that are still waiting on your GC like we are. Hopefully CSC can knock them all out this week.

They recieved our I693 and are now back working on our case. Hopefully not much longer for us.

Good luck with yours aswell Hopefully it will be soon.

Sent our I-693 in we did a full medical just for kicks. Anyhow it was sent on Thursday and it's going to be at the P.O.Box Saturday so hopefully they will pick up all that mail on Monday. We are hoping for a quick approval so we can start planning our trip to Poland this summer.

Is there anyone else left from June that's still waiting on their AOS approval?

She passed the TB test today sometime next week we will have all of our I-693 filled our and ready to mail the RFE back to CSC. Thanks everyone for your help.

The vaccination is called Bacillus Calmette-Guérin, or BCG. Having a BCG vaccination can cause a positive TST, but usually only within a few years of receiving the vaccine. The BCG vaccine is reasonably effective at preventing TB in children but much less in adults, so the vaccine is not routinely given to adults in many countries. It's unlikely that an adult who received a BCG vaccine as a child would give a positive TST as a result.

You'll know if your wife has a positive TST. The site where the injection was done will turn red and slightly raised. If the area of inflammation is 5mm or more then it's considered to be a positive result. In that case the civil surgeon will tell you to see a radiologist and get an x-ray. Less than 5mm would indicate her body contains some TB antibodies, but not enough to indicate a current active infection. This would be common in someone who was exposed to TB at some point in their lives, and either never developed an active infection or they've already recovered from the infection. No reaction at all indicates they've never been exposed to the bacteria.

She has had the BCG in the past around 10 years ago when she was 14. Right now nothing has showed up but she goes in tomorrow at 10 in the morning to get it read. I'm really hoping it doesn't come out positive cause we really don't wanna go get the X-ray and pay more money for this AOS. You has it would become red and slightly raised. How red? Pink? Thanks guys

Went to the doctors today for the medical. Friday she has to go back in for them to look at the TB skin test and then if everything is ok sometime next week her blood work should be back so I'm hoping next Thursday I can get all the paper work and mail it back to CSC.

One other question I was told that some European countries have vacs for TB and she can't remember if she had it or not.

Thanks for the help. Tomorrow we are going in to the Civil Surgeon and having the medical done for 200$ we already have all the shots so we will not be needed anything more then the full exam. Will let you guys know how everything goes. Thanks for the replies. Later mates.

Ok after about 7 months we get a RFE. Need help with this one and to do it as cheap as possible. My wife had her blood test and Chest X-Ray done in Poland and apprently between then and now someone last her paper work and CD for Chest X-Ray. Here is the whole RFE and we need your help because I don't really know if they want us to do an full medical again or just do a blood test for TB or blood test and X-Ray.

Request For Evidence

All medical examinations and vaccinations must be conducted and administered by a physician who is on the list of Civil Surgeons approved by USCIS.

All medical examinations must be submitted in an unopened envelope that has been sealed by the Civil Surgeon.

A review of the record indicates that the applicant entered the United States with a valid K1 nonimmigrant visa.

A review of the applicant's USCIS records fails to reveal on Form DS-3024 Department of State's medical form the results of the Chest X-Ray findings.

Form I 693: As such, the applicant is required to submit a Form I 693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, that is properly completed and signed. The newest version of Form I693 includes the mdeical imformation as well as the vaccination record. Under new agency guidance, applicants two years of age or older are required to either have a tuberculin skin test or a new blood test ("interferon gamma release assays" or IGRA) performed.

NO TUBERCULIN SKIN TEST OR NEW BLOOD TEST: Current regulations now require that the tuberculin skin test (TST) or new blood test (called "interferon gamma relase assays" or IGRA"), and chest X-ray (if applicalbe) be performed on all applicants 2 years of age or older. The submitted Form I 693 relfects that the applicant has not had a TST,IGRA blood test or chest X-ray performed. A chest X-Ray is required in the following situations: when the reaction to the TST is 5 millimeters or more; if the result of an IGRA blood test is positive; or the reaction to the TST is less than 5 mm but the individual has signs or symptoms of either tuberculosis or immunosuppression.

If a chest X-ray is required, the applicant must also include a copy of the X-ray report with the submitted Form I 693 medical. However, only a full and formal radiologist's chest X-ray report, whether a copy or an original, will be accepted which must be signed by the radiologist or a qualified physician and be written on the offical hospital or medical office letterhead. If the chest X-ray shows an abnormality suggestive or active tuberculosis, The Civic Surgeon cannot complete the Form I 693 until the applicant receives and completes the treatment for tuberculosis(usually about 6 months).

That's everything on the RFE letter. We need help on getting an clear answer on what they are asking for.

Missing chest Xray findings is what we have an RFE for. Looks like they lost part of the medical so I guess we are going to have a new one done and I'm going to be out 250$.

Congrats Paciencia.

AandD we hope it's something stupid like that missing a page or lost page that they need signed.
