Hi guys, we're another couple posting a quick note so that we can be added to the spreadsheet. All info is in my sig line, I think. Also we didn't use the I-693 and there was no TST.

We had the biometrics last week and are now eagerly awaiting the AP and EAD. Heck, once we have those the green card can take its own sweet time. We're together and happily married...that's what counts!

Madly and wildly in love

Life is best when shared with your soulmate.

Evening all!

How are we all doing? Well I hope?

Missed me?! Didn't think so! ;)

Anyway, just a quick update as the missus has me busier now than I was when I was working in the UK. Maybe I should have checked that kind of information before we got married. Ah well :P

Biometrics appointment tomorrow, so hopefully that'll be over and done with without too many problems and I can get back to sitting and waiting for the mail to arrive again! I've done the timeline thing, and i'll try and be on here more often than not from here on in!

:thumbs: Good attitude.

I added you to the timeline.

Edit: Ah the pothergavels appeared while I was posting the above. Good to see you. I'm going to bed and not doing anymore timeline dates tonight. Maybe Ellie can pick you up in the morning and add your dates to the spreadsheet. I keep Nick busy too. Ceiling fans, painting, installing things, grocery shopping....

Pothergavel - Nich has very kindly set up a spreadsheet to keep track of the progress of UK AOS'ers. You can access this information here http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ak...FLRWc&hl=en This spreadsheet helps to track trends and is there to give you and other UK filers an idea of how long your AOS journey is likely to take.

If you would like to be included on the spreadsheet can you PM me the relevant details, post on this topic again or fill in your timeline and i'll be happy to add you.

Welcome back pothegavel ;)

Congrats Magpie on your bio app..i think you're going to get the marmite before me hehe!

Today i got an RFE! Seems they want a copy of our marriage certifcate, i'm not completely insane and sent them an original (we ordered 2 trying to be organised..lol)

The only reason i can think of is i sent in 2 AOS petitions (one for myself and one for my son) all the evidence was submitted with both apllications and fees in the same packet!

Should i have sent duplicate evidence?

I'm getting everything ready to send off...have all the forms done, just need to do a cover letter (if someone has one could I see it?) and make copies of everything, and have one question! When I got the I-693 filled out, the CS would not seal it..they said it didn't need to be sealed since it was just vaccinations. Does this sound correct? I am scared to send it not being sealed. I am also thinking of sending the form from the London medical..

I'm not sure what to say the local cs seal our I-693 supliment.

You say you are going to send the one from london too, does this mean you had all vaccinations by the medial in uk or did you complete some after?

All were completed in London. I figured we could send the London one to show nothing has been changed or anything. I don't know.

I did I-693 supliment because I opted to finish some shots in USA and not at k1 medical. I beleive if you completed all shots at or by the time of london medical you prob won't need the I-693 just a copy of the vaccination form from London medical some in this thread did not submitt I-693 for this same reason. If you check the uk aos spread sheet you can get a better idea of who did this and if they were successful or not.

If I have this wrong someone please correct me but this was my understand from reading the discussions of this thread. Unless the rules have changed? :unsure:
