Hi Hank,

Thank's for reply,

I only had 1 vaccine shots from st. Lukes and I believe i still need the TDAP shot which was not available when i took my Medical at St. Lukes. However it doesn't say on my Vaccination record that I need it. So I'm not so sure if i need to go to Civil surgeon and get that shot as my 3025 looks completed.

Do u have any Idea as to how the vaccine form looks like if you're missing vaccine shots? And if you need to complete more vaccination?

Near the bottom of the DS-3025 there are two boxes one is if all US vaccination required are met and the other is vaccinations are still required. Which box is checked on your DS-3025? That is how you will know if you need to see a civil surgeon or not.

Hi Everyone!

Just a question on How to answer these forms.

For married, I understand we now need to use our married name, so our Last name when we were Single will now be used as MIDDLE NAME is that correct? And our husband's Last Name will now serve As our LAST NAME For all of these application Am I correct? I know this is kinda common sense but bear with me as we just don't want to get RFE plus there's nothing with asking

Also with I-765 question regarding Place of Last Entry do we put our POE (Airport) or the state where we currently staying?

Thank You So Much!!!

If you want to follow the Philippines format for married name (and not have issues later dealing with the Philippines), yes you maiden name is now your middle name and your husband's surname is now your last name.

Hi Hank,

Thank's for reply

Neither of the Box are checked that's why I don't know if I need to see civil surgeon.

Here is a simple letter to use to send with your packet. Go down the list and use it like a check list. You didn't indicate if you have any K2's, but if you do then include what is in this letter otherwise skip. If you were annulled or divorced include what is in the letter otherwise skip.

Any questions come back and ask and we will help you.

RE: I-485, Application to Adjust Status (K1 visa)

If you have a complete DS-3025 include a copy of page 4 of the I-485 instructions with section 7c highlighted and staple that to the copy of the DS-3025 because some adjudicators think everyone should send in the I-693 which isn't true).

That is the checklist and cover letter we used. We received NO RFE's nor were we required to have the standard interview. Our GC's where approved straight away. Good luck on yours.

BTW, ours was a little complicated with her Divorce and my deceased wife there were additional documents we submitted and I indicated that on the checklist so you can skip those lines but I left them there in the rare case someone else has one or the other, or both.

Greenbaum is that for K1 visa?

No.... for the AOS which is done after marriage (I-485, Application to Adjust Status (K1 visa))

Oh yes sorry. The filing fee is too expensive. Is that the general filing fee?

[Greenbaum 12,259]

That is the filing fee for one person. Age 14 – 78 Fee $985 plus Biometric Services Fee $85 equals the Total of $1,070 <------------ you pay this amount for the AOS for K1. No way of getting around it and there are no discounts.
