More AOS questions

[ruby 0]

When downloading the forms needed I just went for the I-134 Affidavit of Support that I had originally filed with the K-1. Any chance I can use that instead of the I-864? Only asking b/c I just had it notorized.

Also my husband went for the full medical as there were no records to be had from Cuba. He brought the

I-693 to the Civil Surgeon (what a scam that is) they did the exam & vaccinations. He came back for the TB and HIV stats. The nurse handed him a sealed envelope with what I'm assuming is the filled out I-693 and his results. They told him not to open it, and just send it in with his AOS. Seems kinda weird to me.

We filed for the EAD but it was too late, his visa had just expired. But they sent him a letter telling him to come for his biometrics. He went on his own, got photographed and fingerprinted but they didn't give him any proof, no letter nothing saying it had been done. I figure that's the $70 biometrics fee I'm paying with the AOS fee, right?

Also, it's been over 6 mos since my husband arrived and 4 mos since our wedding. Should we even bother to try and file for another EAD? Or is that just throwing away our money since he was denied already.

Ugh, just don't want to get anything wrong.

Absolutely not. I-134 is used at the consulate when sponsoring a non-immigrant K-1, or K-3 visa. The I-134 is not a legally binding contract, the I-864 is. I-864 is used when Adjusting status, or at the consulate in all immigrant visa cases like CR-1 and IR-1.

If you send them an I-134 you will get an RFE.

Like Yuanddan said, you definetely need the I-864!

The nurse also handed me the sealed envelope, so you 'll be fine. (I should have asked for a copy though... just in case it would have gone lost.)

It is required to bring the original appointment notice (ASC) the day, the biometrics are taken.They've put a red stamp on it with handwritten dates, when the fingerprints and the photograph have been taken..... your husband didn't get it? I'm pretty sure he got it as well.

My husband went to the biometrics appt. by himself, I don't remember him bringing back the original notice. He swears they never gave him anything. Of course now I'm frantically looking thru his stuff.

I actually got thru to a live person this morning using the 800 #. He was incredibly helpful, answering all my questions and even joking around a bit. I'll try my luck again tomorrow and ask about the biometrics.
