AOS Packet, Name Change question. (merged threads)

Where do you pay it?

Gather all your documents as you follow the checklist. Assemble everything in the order that is outlined in the checklist. Make a cover letter much like mine listing all your documents and information just as I have it. Put the letter on top of the supporting documents, attach a check for the fee and send off to the Chicago Lock Box address. It will take a few months so have patience.

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.

Hank what if neither of the box isn't check? Mine doesn't have checked. When I had my medical at st.lukes I didn't have vaccine for tetanus because it wasn't available and the doctor said I can just have it here.

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.

Thank you so much Greenbaum. I'm kinda confused about the I-693 if I still need to see a surgeon. I my DS 3025 doesn't shown if I'm complete or incomplete. But during my medical, I wasn't able to get a vaccine for tetanus because it wasn't available and the doctor told me that I could just have it here. Do I still need to see a surgeon?

The I-485 instructions on page 4, section 7c state that if you had a medical within past year need only submit a copy of your vaccinations record (DS-3025). I suggest if you decide to sent a copy of the DS-3025 with your I-485 that you also print out page 4 of the instructions, highlighting section 7c and attaching it to your DS-3025 (some adjudicators are not aware that the I-693 is NOT required). No where in the instructions does it make any mention of completeness of vaccinations, just that you had a medical.

Alien number and it is 9 numbers plus an A at the front. The Number can be found on your visa under the husband's name.

I'm not seeing that number on my visa. And I ask my husband he can't remember but we haven't had thorough search for that so we'll figure it out soon I hope.

People are telling you to send only the DS-3025 but skipping over this bit of info you have provided about missing a vaccination.

You can only skip the civil surgeon and getting an I-693 if you had all the vaccinations at the time of your K-1 and they were marked off on the DS-3025 properly. You need to get the missing vaccination and see a civil surgeon to have the vaccinations transcribed onto an I-693.
