[Lotus95 51]

Wow things are moving fast for once! My interview date was May 29 and on May 31st my Green Card was mailed out to me, so looks like i’ll have it in hand in the next couple of days! Finally get to go to my home country without worries after almost 3 years.

"In 2018, USCIS revised its policy regarding the extent to which a Form I-693 retains its evidentiary value. This policy is effective November 1, 2018. Before November 1, 2018, the validity period policy provided Form I-693 retained its evidentiary value as long as it was submitted to USCIS within 1 year of the civil surgeon’s signature and USCIS issued a final decision on the underlying immigration benefit application within a year of the Form I-693’s submission to USCIS. This policy contained a maximum 2-year period during which Form I-693 retained its evidentiary value.

Due to increasing caseloads and more complex adjudications, USCIS observed an increasing number of cases where benefit applications could not be decided within 1 year from the date the Form I-693 was submitted. In these cases, USCIS would have to request a new Form I-693, further delaying the processing of the underlying application and inconveniencing the applicant."

I came here as K1 visa. But before other people told me I don’t need to summit a new medical test even it is over 1 year. So which one is true now?

Guys my interview is scheduled! After waiting 70 days they are finally sending me a letter😊😊😊

Can anyone tell me do I need to get a new medical test ? I did my medical test on March,2018. Now it is over a year now. 

 

Before I asked people here and Lizz told me I don’t need a new one. But couple days ago I saw someone needed to do a new medical test. I am confused. 

 

Does anyone know ? Thanks

I think nobody can tell you what they really want, it depends to the officer, I had my medical test in January 2018 and my interview was this year on March, I wasn't required another medical test. Your medical test supposes to be good for one year and if you file within that year you shouldn't have any issues. I guess there are some officers just trying to make things harder. You just need to give them whatever they want.

Hi guys, I figured I could start this thread for May 2018 AOS filers in case no one has started one already. 

I filed for my two children , 11 and 9. They followed-to-join with K2 visas. 

Whats your case? 

Good luck to all us and let’s believe. It’s possible.

Received an email notification yesterday that my case status has changed to "Interview was scheduled". My field office is San Francisco.

 

I suppose I should be happy but I'm also a bit bummed out. I have tickets to fly back home to Malaysia (summer holidays!) next month and I think the interview date will clash with the dates of my vacation

So my green card was approved may 29 and I never received it. The post office pretty much admitted also that it was misdelivered since the regular carrier wasn’t working on the day it said it was delivered. I was pretty bummed to say the least that I have to pay over $500 and wait over 6 months to get a new one. I decided to file the replacement under “issued but never received” where the fee is waived. I know you can only file under it when the card has been returned to USCIS as undeliverable but i still went with it.I got my new biometrics appointment couple of days later and went to get a i-551 stamp to my passport. Luckily they didn’t ask any questions about my replacement being filed under this category and I got my stamp for a year and can travel now. Most likely they will still deny

my application in the end, but atleast I won myself some time 🙄

You have to pay 500$ for a new green card? That is so much..

After 14 months, we finally got a notification today saying my wife's interview has been scheduled. We moved to Utah 9 months ago.

 

We're excited but a little bummed out at the same time, we have a trip scheduled on 09/12/19 to visit her family in the Philippines.

 

I hope her interview date wont fall after that time.
