I dont think so..the i-693 instructions on the uscis page said you dont need to if it's w/in 1 yr as long as you dont have a class a medical condition..it's on page 6 of the instructions for i-693 hope that helps ?

Yeah, I thought so too but the guidelines here in VJ confuses me. Well, I am sending this out without the I-693 and let's see how it goes. I am hoping anyone else that have sent out their packet can clear this out.

Someone else from Peru :)

Apparently the 90 days starts from the day they receive the package, not the NOA1 and certainly not the biometrics. So normally you're not losing any time. Seems like you should get your notice soon though.

That would be NICE. So we are almost a month in since they've received the package!

I hope this is true....and yes, my wife is from Lima :D

Still waiting for mine too..it's been 7 days since i got my NOA1..by the way do you know how soon the EAD gets approved?

Not sure, but I'm thinking that I should get all 3 of my forms approved at the same time....hopefully!

Sending it in now will probably result in them losing it. Better to wait for a rfe or bring it to the interview

Thanks so much. When they send me an RFE should I still wait for the interview or send it to them?

Depend on what they say on the rfe. If they say you should send the i693, you send it. If they say you should bring it to the interview, you save it for the interview
