How to Adjust Status (AOS)

(For K1 & K3 Visa Holders)

Understanding Adjustment of Status:

The Adjustment of Status (AOS) Process is designed for the Visa Holders to change their original entry status. In this case, K1 holders entered on the U.S. on a 1-entry visa and need to change their status so they can gain benefits (such as employment, travel privileges, and most importantly Permanent Residence.) K3 holders must adjust status to obtain work authorization and/or Permanent Residence.

First read the AOS Guide: (Very Important!)

http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1aos

Just follow the guide step-by-step. It's a lot of work but do 1 thing at time. Most people do all 3 at once. It’s the best option!

So if you're doing all 3 (Green Card, Employment Card, & Advance Parole), attach all the required documents with each application and mail together in same packet to the correct address. (I believe its Chicago Lockbox, but check to be sure).

The Medical Exam application needs to be filled out by her and a local Civil Surgeon. Look up the closet one near you here.

https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV

I paid about $75 for them to complete the forms. Try to find the best deal, some places will try and over-charge you. Most people who file should have just got there Medical done in the Dominican Rep and if they got all their required vaccinations and shots they will not need to get it again (if it’s under 1 year). So remind them you just need to have the Civil Surgeon complete their portion of the I-693. Make sure the K1/K3 Visa Holder has their Medical History form called DS-3025 (given to them after Medical Exam in Santo Domingo).

Remember to gather all of the correct documents. Each form (I-485, I-765, & I-131) require certain things. You will need to have 2 passport photos for each form. Total of 6. Have the packet organized so everything is labeled and easy to find. I'm including the Cover Letter/Checklist I made with my Packet. Feel free to use it.

With the I-485 you need only submit a copy of the DS-3025, unless you had specific medical issues. I have suggested to other to print a copy of page 4 of the I-485 instructions, highlighting section 7c that states the vaccination record is all that is required for the K-1 and staple it to your copy of the DS-3025. I contacted USCIS regarding some adjudicators requesting the I-693 and got this response. So unless you had a class A medical condition, no I-693 is needed.

"Thank you for bringing this to our attention. In some situations a K-1 or K-2 visa holder may need to submit the Form I-693. They are not required to have another medical examination as long as the Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is filed within one year of the overseas medical examination, the medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition, or if there was a Class A medical condition, they received a waiver of inadmissibility and have complied with the terms and conditions on the waiver.

After your AOS Packet is sent, you will go through a similar process as before. More waiting and more preparation. (and you thought you were all done?) Once you receive your NOA1, you can check your “case status” on www.UCSIS.gov. You will also receive updates through email and/or text if you chose to submit the Form G-1145 (E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance).

You do not need to include the NOA1 with the AOS packet. You only need the NOA2.

You only need to send either tax return transcripts OR your complete tax return with all forms and W-2s. You do not need to include both. Also you only need to send in the most recent year tax return, the other 2 are optional to send..however you still need to list the amounts of your adjusted gross income from the last 3 tax returns on the I-864 form.

We did not go to a CS for the I693.

3. What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already had a medical exam overseas?

If you were admitted as a:

a. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or as a

b. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and

c. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then:

(1) You are not required to have another medical examination as long as your Form I-485 is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination, and the medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition, or if you did have a Class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility and have complied with the terms and conditions on the waiver.

(2) Even if a new medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original overseas medical examination report, you will have to have the vaccination report completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you are required to submit the vaccination record and page 1 of Form I-693.

All of this, except the 1040EZ is the only form you would use the AGI from. If you filed any other 1040 form, then you use Total Income, line 22 of the 1040.
