Last Minute AOS Submission Questions

[soprano82 5]

Hello all, we are hoping to get our AOS application submitted to USCIS this week, but we had a few last minute questions that we wanted to see if anyone could answer for us. My wife was a K1 holder, for reference.

 

1. For the i-693, I understand that we are to submit only the first page (information about you section completed only) and a copy of her DS-3025 that she received at the time she completed her medical exam overseas. We are concerned if there will be any problems with submitting the form unsealed? She was only provided unsealed copies of the forms at the time of the examination she had overseas. We are planning on turning in the first page of the i-693 and the copy of the DS-3025 from her overseas medical that has the seal of the hospital on it with the AOS. Again what we have is unsealed. Is that acceptable?

 

2. We have been told that it is acceptable to specify TBD or unknown for the date of travel and duration, where that is asked on the form, but it is unclear how we address the following section under "Complete Only if Applying for Advanced Parole":

 

On a separate sheet of paper, explain how you qualify for an Advanced Parole Document. and what circumstances warrant issuance of advanced parole. Include copies of any documents you wish considered.

 

We have no idea what we should do about that section. We'd only be going back to visit her family and friends. Is it better to submit the form immediately with Unknown/TBD or wait to submit it once you know the dates and times? It is my understanding that the advanced parole document will still be free of charge so long as she has an AOS pending. It should be a multi-use advanced parole document as well correct?

1) I-693: If your wife is filing her AOS within a year of her foreign medical and her DS-3025 is marked 'COMPLETE', then she can just include a copy of the DS-3025. The DS-3025 does not need to be in a sealed envelope. However, if she's missing vaccines and her DS-3025 is not marked 'COMPLETE', she'll need to get the missing vaccines and have a civil surgeon in the US to transfer the data from her DS-3025 and the latest vaccination record to the I-693. In this case, she will be submitting Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9 in a sealed envelope.

 

2) AP travel dates: K-1 holders do not need to have planned or confirmed travel dates to apply for an AP. Just state 'N/A. Concurrent filing with I-485 upon marriage through K-1.'
