A#,K-2 VISA AND I-693

[Paul D 0]

Hello All,

My wife and daughter (12 y/o) had their I-693 physicals and the physician mailed these down to the regional office in Norfolk, VA last week - the USCIS people sent me a letter back asking for her daughter's file number. From what I understand the File Number is the same as the "A" number. My wife's daughter was traveling under her mother's passport from Ukraine and while her mother has her "A" number on her passport and I-94 there is no "A" number on her daughter's I-94 nor on her K-2 visa.

Should I give the USCIS people my wife's "A" number for her daughter's file? Has anybody had an experience with this issue?

Thanks,

Paul

Normally, the K-2 child is not assigned an A# until the I-485 is filed and it's on the 1st notice of action. If they were sent a document with no A# they probably have no idea of who to associate it with. Now how you fix this beats me other than sending a letter explaining the situation and providing your wife's A#.

Plus if they came in as K-1 and K-2 you only needed the vacination supplement to the I-693 not a whole new physical.

Mdyoung is right. If they had a physical before their interview at the embassy before they came over....they did not need a whole new physical again. The form now needed was a I-693A....supplement. Basically it is just getting a few more vaccinations if they needed any. My civil doctor tried to tell me they needed a whole new physical..which is a lie.

I'd take his advice and call or write a letter first about the A #.

As far as I know, the A# is just for the K1, I did write the same number for my daugther and at the finger prints they told me that I shouldn't write my A# on my daugther paperwork

We had our medical examination, I've heard that the Civil Surgeon only should fill the vaccination supplement becausa the fisical examination was done at the clinic one day before our interview at the Consulate where they gave us our K1 and K2, but they told us that Consulate is one thing and Inmigration process is other thing.

The good thing is that the medical examination didn't affect the price, so we accepted.

Consulate where they gave us our K1 and K2, but they told us that Consulate is one thing and Inmigration process is other thing.

Yeah and knowing what you are talking about is one thing and not ripping people off is another.

Medical Examinations

(Vaccinations, Civil Surgeons, Panel Physicians, Forms, Medical Waivers)

Who has to have a medical exam?

K and V nonimmigrant (temporary) visa applicants. Individuals applying for a K nonimmigrant visa as the fiancee or the spouse of a U.S. citizen or for a V nonimmigrant visa as the spouse or child of a lawful permanent resident (LPR) (including those applying for V status in the United States) must undergo a medical exam, but are not required to comply with the vaccination requirements at that time. They will be required to comply with the vaccination requirements when they eventually apply for adjustment of status.
