    You are most welcomed, and I hope these posts will help others in the future
    I'm not sure why you're having issues with the link.

    The CD is an X-ray image. Back in the stone age (2011), X-ray was in the form of a large film that they roll up into a tube No one (POE, consulate, etc) asked for it. We still have it at home in the closet
    So she received the X-ray tube and larger sealed (white) envelope after her medical exam. She only turned in the larger sealed (white)envelope before the interview.
    k-1 is different than immigrant visa types such as CR1 and IR1, where vaccination is required. You could skip vaccination in China for k-1 and only receive those shots after you get married in the U.S. and want to file for AOS in the U.S.
    After my-then-fiancée passed the interview, she went and got her shots. She was then issued the yellow book, a copy of the DS-3025, and a smaller sealed (white) envelope addressed to the USCIS.
    So she came into the U.S. with her X-ray, the smaller sealed (white) vaccination envelope and of course the big brown sealed envelope that came back with her passport.
    She only turned in the big brown sealed envelop at the POE and not the sealed vaccination envelope.
    Perhaps most people do not have the smaller sealed (white) envelope because they received vaccination at their medical exam.
    It may be OK to turn in the DS-3025 your fiancée has for AOS although it's not in a sealed envelope, but be sure to make a copy (or multiple copies) in case the USCIS or USPS loses your AOS paperwork and you have to refile
    Here again is the link that shows the front and back of the smaller sealed white envelope my-then-fiancée received after her shots:

    I'm glad my experience helped
    Does your fiancée have the smaller sealed envelope addressed to the USCIS as well? We didn't know about it prior to my-then-fiancée's interview, and after she was given the envelope we still didn't know what it was for It took us a while to realize that it might be the DS-3025 since "Vaccination Form" was printed on the envelope, and she remembered she was told at the Guangzhou medical facility that it was to be used in the U.S., but we didn't know it was for AOS.
    Sometimes we make things a little too complicated than they need to be No one can blame us either because we're dealing with the USCIS
    Hope all goes well for you!

    My fiancée's DS-3025 had "incomplete" entries as well, and that wasn't an issue. She only had the initial 2 shots required for AOS. Booster shots (the other 2 missing shots) were not required for AOS.
    It is possible that someone could come to the U.S. within the 6-week window and not be eligible medically to receive the booster shots, get married and file for AOS with the original DS-3025 with missing booster shots.
    It was our experience that booster shots were not required for AOS, and it is a personal choice to receive the booster shots afterwards. I think most people would try to avoid unnecessary shots
    I know it is very confusing with some people saying that the booster shots and I-693 are required. I went through that struggle a few years ago, and I survived to share my experience with you

    Nich-Nick was a great help a few years ago calming our fear of the I-693.
    My then fiancé came over on k-1 and did AOS with just one round of shots she received in Guangzhou.
    Because we were not sure if her k-1 would be approved, she only had her medical exam done without any shots prior to the interview.
    She was given a sealed envelope and X-ray to be taken to her interview.
    After she passed her interview, she went back and got her shots. The Guangzhou medical facility then gave her immunization records in the form of a yellow booklet, a copy of the DS-3025, and then a sealed envelope addressed to the USCIS: http://www.visajourney.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastupby&uid=94211
    We did not open the sealed envelope, but we guessed it was the official copy of the DS-3025 for AOS because she has a k-1 visa. This envelope was smaller than the one that contained the results of her medical that she turned in at the interview.
    We mailed the sealed envelope with her AOS package to the USCIS, and she got her green card without any issues at AOS that year.
    She got her shots in July 2011 in China, I brought her back to the States early September, we got married and filed AOS at the end of September. She received her green card in February 2012. No I-693 was involved.

    My wife's case went over 6 months today (just one day behind yours), and we submitted an e-request this morning. So I expect to get the same reply as you did.
    We also contacted our congressman's office.
    Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

    We filed AOS on 2011-09-27 and received Green Card on 2012-02-11. The Green Card expires 2014-02-01, so our 90-day window opened on 2013-11-03. We filed ROC on 2014-11-04
    We sent bank statements (joint checking account) for every month since September 2011, car titles with both names, home title with both names, property tax with both names for the past 2 years, IRS tax transcripts for 2011 and 2012, airline boarding passes, and our driver licenses showing same address. Sent about 6 photos since they're not important from what I read.
    Pretty straight forward I guess. We'll see if the USCIS accepts what we sent

    Thank you Lise!!
    With her EAD, we went to the Department of Public Safety to apply for her driving learner's permit. She had to take a "written test" on a computer, and she passed with ease. She said the test was very easy. Well, I attributed that to her studying hard. If you recall, she was turned down 2 months ago because she couldn't take the test without her EAD or GC.
    She's a happy girl today, with her EAD and learner's permit in hand, she looks forward to driving lessons.

    Looking forward to your AOS update!!
    My wife received 2 NOA's in the mail yesterday, one for I-485 and the other for her I-765. These were payment receipts with notice dates of 10/03/11.
    I'm looking forward to her biometrics appointment in 2 weeks. She can't wait to get her EAD so that she can take her written test for driving.

    Gabriela,
    Thank you for inviting us to join this thread. My wife's AOS was filed on September 27th, and USCIS logged our applications on September 30th.
    On October 3rd, we received 3 separate emails and 3 separate text messages each for her I-485, I-131, and I-765 forms.
    Our bank shows USCIS cashed our check on October 3rd.
    We wish all September filers smooth AOS sails!!

    Matt,
    The Guangzhou consulate does it differently than the other consulates or embassy. The date and time on your P4 is actually for the document in-take
    My fiancee told me she had a piece of paper telling her to go back the next day at 7:30am for her interview.
    So please prepare your fiancee to spend some time in Guangzhou: enough time for medical, time for the consulate, and time to wait for her visa after her interview.
    Good luck!!
