Husband here again! 

Something we have noticed in our denial letters was also pretty confusing to us, and I have been meaning to ask, 

On our second page of our denial forms, there's a segment saying "the evidence of record shows that, when you filed your application, you were present in the United States contrary to law." 

What does it mean? Why would it say that and what does it mean for me? 

Basically the USCIS is saying you overstayed your visa or were otherwise out of status. Since you are the spouse of a us citizen - that point is moot. Just make sure you refile your application as quickly as possible before the issue an NTA as that will delay and complicate your case alot.

Absolutely will as fast as I possibly can! 

Today were going to make another call to the USCIS, Saturday we're retaking passport pictures and more, then we go over all the instructions and guides again, refilling our already printed updated forms, issuing a money order and hopefully by that time our joint/Co sponsor will also have all of their forms ready, collected and completed. 

It really pains that all of this has fallen on the holiday season and therefore my CO sponsor and wife are extremely busy at work and at some cases I'm relient on their help since I legally can't help myself yet. 

I personally don't wait a second not thinking about the entire situation, I don't sleep right and I research and comment even when I'm grocery shopping. 

I hope.. One to two weeks are good enough... But personally I want it to be done as soon as possible, I can't get a single relief or break under this time crunch, it's all I can think about every day, it's putting a huge toll on me physically and mentally, this was the worst time for them to deny my forms 😩

Why, oh why would you call the Misinformation Line again? It serves no purpose. The last 2 times they gave you the wrong information. What makes you think it will be different this time?

Agreed, don't call USCIS again. Send in your forms. The sooner you send them, the sooner you get your receipt notice and are in authorized stay. That's what you need now. I hope you can gather all the forms and send it out soon. Good luck and keep us updated if you want. Come back for questions too.

Thank you so much! 

I'll try to get everything done as soon as possible! Thank you for the solid advice! 

I'll definitely keep you guys updated and will ask if I have any other concerns! 

Thank all of you for being huge contributions for this wonderful community!

I was going through the AOS guide for k1 holders, and I have got a few questions! 

 

--------------

I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status.I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status. If you are a K-1, K-2, K-3 or K-4 visa holder the I-693 instructions state that you are not required to have another medical examination as long as your Form I-485 is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination. If you are missing any shots from your overseas medical a I-693 vaccination transcription is required to be completed by seeing a Civil Surgeon to have certain portions of the I-693 completed and have the Civil Surgeon certify the form (sealing the original in an envelope and giving you a copy).

--------------

 

I didn't understand it completely, do I must include form I-693 in the package? 

And it states that I don't have to file an examination as long as I'm doing it within one year of the overseas medical examination, 

The last time I did a medical was on July 2018, would it cause an issue or I should stil follow what I have been told here and not perform a new one? (I'm still attaching some of the papers I have got to keep from the medical examination, it mostly spesificies vaccines and has the doctor signature signed on it I believe)

You will have to do a new medical as it is already a year since you last did one. You just don have to do it right away.

Oh okay! That's good then! 

Im terrified that the new policy would allow them to not ask for RFE for a new medical and just deny my AOS again 😭

Am I still supposed to complete and include the form i-963?

i-693 is the sealed medical form from a civil surgeon and you do NOT have to submit it right away. Read the USCIS policy itself, They will NOT deny you because you didnt include it in your initial filing.

Thank you so much!!! ♥️

What's usually happens if you are needed to send new medicals?

Are they going to send me a notice requesting me to complete new medicals, or should I perform my new medicals and submit them additionally after submitting my i-485?

[DialNoises 6]

Hey again! 

So, we’re going through more stuff for the Affidavit of Support.

 

Can the joint sponsor be a friend that doesn’t reside with us? My brother-in-law’s girlfriend (not married) is wanting to joint sponsor, however, we’re getting mixed answers online. I’m thinking that its fine honestly! But want to get feedback!

Yes normally they will send you a letter that they noticed you did not include i-693 with your filing and will tell you to bring it to interview.

A joint sponsor can be ANY US citizen or Permanent resident of sufficient means. Remember you spouse is still you primary sponsor and also NEEDS to submit a i-864 even if they dont make enough money.

Whew I hope they will unlike last time! Thank you so much! 

 

And that's awesome news! My joint sponsor was getting a bit confused so it helps knowing and reassuring! 

Thank you for being so helpful! 

 

Also! We have been researching but we're getting mixed ideas and we're quite unsure on if 1099 forms should be included no matter what if you're signing yourself as a sponsor? Unless form 1099 doesn't apply to every US employee? 

We're getting mixed information on what 1099 forms really are, because on one hand we read that 1099 are "just" tax forms that every employee gets, but then we also see that 1099 forms are only given to self employeed citizens?

if you do not get a letter just bring it to the interview. 

 

A copy of your sponsors tax filing is sufficient, they want to see that the sponsor is paying taxes so 1099/W2 is not enough. They want to see 1040 or tax transcript.
