We've decided to do her AOS here instead of going back to Tokyo. Seems pretty straightforward, but there are a couple vague things still (surprise!) after reading through all the guides here, form instructions and USCIS web pages that I could find.

1. We have to file G-325A forms with the I-485. New ones or copies of what we already filed? I'm assuming new ones for original signatures. Not a big deal because they are easy to do electronically.

2. She just had her medical on 1/9 in Tokyo, but all she got was a copy of her X-Ray and DS-3025. No I-693 that the I-485 is asking for. Does she need to get a new medical here or will they have record of an I-693 from a couple months ago that would have presumably been in her super-secret sealed package?

3. Not knowing how long any kind of AOS would take, we've already applied for her EAD. The I-485 is saying that an I-765 is optional, so I'm assuming we'll get her EAD and use it until her AOS is complete and the two processes won't interfere with each other?

Thanks,

KZ

1. Found the answer to this one: They want a new G-325A.

2. Found this too. Supposedly, they will have her medical on file...

Now, something new to be fuzzy on: From what I can see, the NVC will send her I-130 back to the USCIS, assuming we're going to AOS here. Will they send us a Choice of Agent form to confirm this? How do we inform them that we're adjusting here?

3. The K3 EAD and AOS won't interfere with one another.

The NVC will send a DS-3032 as they don't know that you decided to adjust status here. I suppose you could tell them via phone or mail or email. We didn't do anything with any of the stuff from the NVC, never told them what we were up to and just went with the I-485 at the USCIS. No problem at all...

I figured they'd send us something. I sent them an email tonight anyway and have the whole I-485 already set to go.
