Questions regarding AOS paperwork

[c4revenge 0]

Hello all!

I am a UK citizen preparing my files for my AOS process from B1/B2 visa after marrying a US citizen.

 

I just have a question regarding the medical examination file. When submitting i-485 does the i-693 have to be included? I have read in other places that it can be carried out at a later date and brought to the formal interview. I don't mind either way, I just don't want to submit everything for processing and have the process delayed due to not including the medical examination file.

 

Any help would be great. Many thanks in advance.

Don't get your medical examination done til they tell you to. They will warn you that it's not been received and they need it for the interview but if you send it in with I-485, it might expire and that's money wasted.

Thanks a lot! Also one other thing - When sending the checks for filing fees, is it better to send the whole amount for both i130 and i485 in one check? or separate checks which the respective amounts pertaining to each form? my mind is drowning with information from the USCIS and ***removed*** sites at the moment and can't seem to find any clarity on this! Have a great day

I sent 2 checks. Better safe than sorry. Include the biometrics fee in the I-485 check.

So you did not send your medical with your package?

Since your interview is being scheduled, are you getting your medical done now?

 

I understand the OP's concern to not wanting to delay anything.

I got my medical done today, interview is 2 weeks away. I did not send it with the package in case of a long wait.
