My story is a complicated one. I was actually a resident (K1 visa) from 1996 till 2003, but was forced to abandon my status ... long story. Living and working in Asia for past 12 years. So now, still married to the same guy and we have 2 kids - It's time to make life less complicated and get settled.

I am filling out my forms for AOS (from tourist visa), DH petitioning with i-130, still trying to get all paper work together, including Civil Surgeons (CS) exam and 864. Any advice.

I'm in FL, and wondering if there's a CS anyone would recommend in Tampa or even as far North as Bushnell. One that doesn't charge too much, and will be reasonable about vaccines... not just tow the party line.

Bare with me as I get used to all the abbreviations... I'll update signature soon.

I-129F filed May 1996
K-1 issued August 1996
Married in September 1996.
AOS October 1996
LPR April 1997 to 2003.
Forced to abandon status at POE in DC, 2003.
Lived & worked in Asia together 2000 to 2011.
We have 2 gorgeous kids!
Returned to USA Oct 2011, on B1 tourist visa
Filed i-130 and i-485 in April 2012.

LPR approved 10/22/2012 (Conditional 2 year period waived)

Fast forward 4 years to 2016.... it's that time!
