Hi guys, I received my three of my NOA1 on 03/21/ and I'm wondering how long I should wait for the biometrics appointment letter? How long does this usually take to arrive once we receive the NOA1's? 

 

 

Thanks!

1-2 weeks

Yeah, technically you can still get RFE anytime, even after the interview if they wanted something that you didn't have with you at the interview. But I guess all of us gets a break when we are ready to schedule for interview. 

Ugh. Okay, well then I will still worry lol. I'd love to just turn off that part of my brain for 4-5 months!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I wont stop worrying for the next 4 years. I'm pretty much just keeping myself busy so I worry about other things.

Lockbox acknowleged receipt by USPS on March 11th, by online tracking.  USPS receipt by mail on March 21.  My guess is that the weather is slowing things down.

Is it okay to send tax information for the last two years or does it have to be more? Also, do I need to send in tax transcripts or pages from the 1040, thanks in advance for any help.

I sent same thing I included with I-134, which is Tax transcripts for "income verification from IRS site for last 3 years (2017,2016, 2015) https://sa.www4.irs.gov/eauth/pub/login.jsp

 

I did not include any 1040 or any other information.

Ok, thank you. I wasn't sure if it had to be three years worth of tax returns. I was in school for  awhile after the military so I didn't file for 2015, 2016 I filed but it was only for Oct -Dec (graduated college and started job).

Great! Make sure to shop around. According to the I-693 instructions, you'd only need to have the civil surgeon complete your vaccinations and document that they were completed on the I-693. Some of them might claim you'd need to do the medical exam as well (and pay more for it, of course), but that is not actually needed as long as you're applying for AOS within one year of your K1 medical exam. Don't let them rip you off!

Hi all, I am reading and am very confused.  Can someone please clarify for me.

 

My wife had a medical exam before entry in the US.  The exam was performed in January.  I have read two perspectives and it is confusing me.  First, the AOS package must be filed within 60 days of the wet signature on the medical exam.  If the AOS is submitted outside of 60 days, it is no longer valid.  Second, the Medical Exam is valid for 1 year.

 

Which is technically correct?  Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone,

 

We got the notification that the package arrived at the lockbox early this week.

 

Unfortunately after reviewing what we sent I realized that we forgot a few documents. For the affidavit of support we forgot to send the copy of the sponsor ID (this was an oversight since the request in the bottom of the official checklist after a lot of points that do not applied in general to most applicants). Probably we will get an RFE for this.

 

The other two things I'm not sure and would like to ask your opinion. I changed my name after the wedding and filled all documents with my new legal name. Obviously all my documentation are in my single name. I sent the marriage certificate with the I485 but didnt think about doing the same with the i131 and i765 since it wasnt on the checklist. Did everyone sent 3 copies of the marriage certificate in case your name changed?

 

Have a nice day!

I was also looking at this. 

 

From USCIS policy manual:

 https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume8-PartB-Chapter3.html#S-B  

 

K and V nonimmigrants applying for adjustment of status are not required to repeat the medical examination if the application was filed within one year of the date of the original medical examination, and:

 

•The medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition; or 

•The applicant received a conditional waiver in conjunction with the K or V nonimmigrant visa or the change of status to V and the applicant submits evidence of compliance with the waiver terms and conditions. [27

 

Hope this helps
