I 693 and I 485

[Hoffy63m 0]

Hi, my wife and I just got married and she was wondering which forms she had to pass in first. What papers do you have to send to Dr Arnolds office in texas? And how much is it. Then after we get it back which forms do we have to pass in? Should we pass in I-485 with the completed I 693 forms the doctor sends us back? What is EAD? Im just curious about it if u could reply asap thanks

Well yes, I already called.. and they said it was a 24 to 48 hour turn around.. so were waiting for the call.. but Im kinda lost on which other forms do we have to send in to USCIS after we get our stuff from the doctor.

After you get the result from the CS you need to assemble your I-485 packet. On this packet the Medical Exam is needed.

1. Payment as required by USCIS. Be sure to include the payment for both the I-485 and the biometrics fee*. Use a money order so you can track the payment. If a personal check is allowed, use that instead.

>> The fee for I-485 applications filed on or after July 30th 2007 inlcudes the cost of the I-131 and I-765 (no need to pay for them if filed with or while your I-485 application is pending adjudication -- as long as you paid the "new" rate for the I-485 effective July 30th 2007).

2. Cover Letter. Should include a description of what your are petitioning for (I-485), a table of contents (list everything in the packet). If you need additional room to explain your case, attach a separate sheet (list the attachment on the cover sheet). Make sure to sign and date the cover sheet.

3. Form I-485: Petition for Alien Relative

4. Copy of the non US Citizen Spouses Passport (biographical page as well as entry stamps).

5. Copy of the non US Citizen Spouses valid I-94 (front and back copies)

6. A copy of the intending immigrant's birth certificate along with English translation. (If in any language other than English)

7. A certified copy of your marriage certificate. (If filing for your spouse)

8. A copy of the petitioner's and/or intending immigrant's divorce documents. (If filing for a spouse, and one or both of you have been divorced before)

9. A copy of a prior spouse's death certificate. (If filing for a spouse, and one or both have you were married before, and the prior spouse died)

10. Two passport-type photos (see specification) of the Non US Citizen Spouse. Write the full name on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.

11. G-325A filled out, signed and dated. If you are using a newer version of the G-325A it may only contain one page for "Biographic Information". Be sure to make four copies of the completed "Biographic Information" page to submit with the package.

12. I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status

13. I-864, Affidavit of Support (see poverty limits here)

>> Include any additional required supporting documentation

14. I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, if you want to work while your application is processed (optional)

>> Include any additional required supporting documentation or photos as well as payment per USCIS instructions.

15. I-131, Application for Travel Document, if you need to travel outside the United States while your application is processed (optional)

>> Include any additional required supporting documentation or photos as well as payment per USCIS instructions.

16. I-485 Supplement A, and penalty fee if applicable. See 8 CFR 245.10

17. I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Excludability**, if applicable

* Fingerprint fee not needed for applicants under 14

** an I-601 is NO FEE, if, and ONLY if filed WITH an I-485. Later filing DOES require a fee. Whether to file an I-601 is an important decision -- like the J-1, consulation with an attorney is recommended.

hope it help you!
