I just got notification that my our interview is scheduled! Going to have to wait for the letter to know the date.

@Ad3line Did you get your letter regarding interview. Because my case also was updated "interview is scheduled" same day as yours but no letter yet.

We are OAS based on marriage.    How does the medical exam timing work (form I-693).    Do they request it before the  interview?   After the interview?   Do people get the exam and send in the form un-requested?

Your are required to submit a medical report exam for AOS based on mariage. You can submit the complete form with your AOS form, or later, or bring to the interview. The medical exam has to be performed within 60 days before you submit the form (with your AOS or at interview). Once submitted, the form is valid for 2 years. That means that if you submit the form with your AOS application and your interview is not scheduled within the next 2 years, you would have to do the medical exam again. See below from the I-485 instructions for details.

 

Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (Form I-693)
Form I-485 applicants for adjustment of status are required to have a medical examination to show that they are free
from health conditions that would make them inadmissible. This does not apply to registry applicants and individuals
born under diplomatic immunity in the United States. If you are filing Form I-485 under the nonimmigrant fiancé(e),
asylee, or refugee category, see the Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, Instructions
for more information on whether you need to submit the full Form I-693 or only certain parts because you already had
a medical examination overseas.
Only a USCIS designated civil surgeon can perform this medical examination in the United States. The civil surgeon
must document the results of your medical examination on Form I-693. For more information on the medical
examination, see the Form I-693 Instructions.
You are NOT required to submit Form I-693 at the time you file your adjustment application, but may do so if you
wish. Because of the time-limited validity of Form I-693, you may choose to submit your Form I-693 after you file
your Form I-485. You may also submit Form I-693 in person at an interview in a USCIS field office, if an interview is
required. By waiting to submit Form I-693, you may avoid having to repeat the immigration medical examination.
For more information about Form I-693 requirements, visit www.uscis.gov/i-693.

wow congrats. Jan filers ?

We just had our interview, and the IO shared with us that he is recommending our I-130 & I-485 petitions for approval. 😄

On the drive home, I received three e-mail updates from USCIS. Card is already in production.

 

The interview went smoothly. No trick questions or super complicated things. My husband forgot the street number of our previous address but it was an honest slip of the mind, and the agent could see that we were genuine people with a bona fide marriage.

 

I am cognizant and grateful that we were incredibly lucky to receive an appointment before the expected furloughs.

 

Good luck everyone!

EAD card received a few days after my biometrics and case is ready to be scheduled for interview. Do they systematically interview all AOS cases based on marriage or can they waive it? Thanks.

[Karosuko 35]

Can anyone pls help me with this? My husband is LPR and we recently moved. We changed our address regarding my pending AOS procedure already (for I-130 and I-485). But as it is my understanding, he also needs to give his new address to DHS separately because of HIS status as LPR.

At the beginning of the Address change mask they ask you: Do you have a pending case? Yes or No.

I am unsure what to answer, because I don’t know if the fact that I adjust status and he filed an I-130 related to this, means he has a pending case although he already has his GC.
