I693 only valid for 1 year

[CarolineK2017 1]

My husband and I had our personal interview May 15th. The officer told us that he thought our marriage was bona fide, but my husband's I693 had just expired within the last month.

 

So just a friendly reminder to check the date for your I693.  It's only good for a year - I'm not quite sure of the timeline though. My husband did his first I693 in Dec 2016, but it expired in April 2018. So, I'm guessing it was valid from when they received it to a year after?

 

The notice for the personal interview stated that we needed to bring the I693 (unless otherwise submitted), so we had no idea that it was only good for a year.

Did you guys attached it to the stuck of papers for the AOS? Or did you guys forget to send it with all of them?

We mailed it in right after he had it done in Dec 2016. The officer had the copy of it, but it expired in April 2018 (I'm guessing they received/processed it in April 2017 for it to expire). It's only valid for one year.

I just had my interview today, Saturday 9th. The officer us the Medical Exam expired on March and I need to do another medical exam. I asked him how long after they receive the Medical Exam my case will be approved? He said within 45 days. So this coming Monday will do another exam at one of the approved  Doctors.

Maybe it won't take quite that long. We had our interview May 15th, and by that Friday my husband had gone for his first appointment for the medical (and it was completed the following Monday and Tuesday). We went to Disney World the rest of May. He checked his status once we got home, and got the notification that the card was being produced (June 1st). My husband received his card June 9th!!!!!! I couldn't believe that this final thing happened so quickly! I was worried that it was going to be the standard 60-90 response like everything else. I know it's probably case by case, but hopefully you will have it soon!
