oh boy.

i think i did something really dumb.

for my medical, i got the results in a sealed envelope, plus a copy.

i swore i read on here before that you must take the sealed envelope with you to the interview.

so with that in mind, i sent the copy of the I-693 with my AOS package and kept the sealed envelope for my interview.

now i am reading that you should send the sealed envelope with your package!

OH SHEESH!

GRRRRRRR!!

you've got to be kidding me.

now i know where i read that you had to bring the sealed envelope to the interview - the fricken instuctions on the I-693!!!

well, the OLD form that is.

apparently a new form was issued on 04/02/08!

the form i used was from 2005, i think.

and now all the instructions have changed on the new form and it says to send the sealed envelope with your AOS package.

now what?

am i gonna get denied because of this?

Hi Shanny,

Don´t totally freak out about this, you were supposed to send the original but at least you sent a copy, I don´t think you will get denied because of this, the worse case scenario is that you will get an RFE (request for evidence) for the original of this document and then you will have to send it in. The best case scenario is that they are ok with a copy and your process moves along normally and are requested to go for an interview and then show the original!

I hope it goes for the best!

We didn't have or include an I-693 with the filing. We just took the sealed envelope to the interview.
