Hi all,

Have been lurking these forums for a few months now, but this is my first post! Hoping I can contribute to the community now that I have submitted my AOS.

I was religiously following the August 2016 Filers thread as we originally submitted my AOS package on the 18th of August...however, we were rejected on account of a foolish mistake, so after re-submitting our NOA1 sits at September 8th, 2016.

Most disappointing event thus far was definitely receiving our package back in the mail, but I have to say, it felt really good getting the NOA1 Text and Email to confirm we are now on the right track.

Can I ask what you did wrong? I'm sending my package next week and I'm super nervous lol, maybe it's something that could help other people :)

Of course you can ask! We submitted the wrong fee for our combination of forms. $1070 instead of $1490. So it was a bit brutal getting the double whammy of a rejected application and having to scrounge together $420 more.

Double and triple checked everything except the fee, apparently.

Hi All

My fiancee arrived on Wednesday and we were married the next day! Now looking to the AOS but my fiancee handed the envelope containing her I693 and medical records to the agent at SFO POE and we don't have copies. Does the agent send the health package to USCIS? Will we have to get her another medical exam and fill out a new I693 as part of the AOS application package?

Thanks!

I was wondering this, too. But I thought it was okay because it'll say "Medical Attached" in the visa? So I assumed they'd just keep it in their records.

When The medical is done outside the USA they do not use a i693. The doctor who performed her medical should have given her a copy of her ds3025, which is the vaccination supplement. If she doesn't have that, I'd give the doctor a call and ask for a copy.

Go to the main aos forum and search for a pinned thread where it explains if you need the i693 and such.
