[Meg101 316]

Update: new medical exam booked for 11th November.  Spoke to London and there's no chance of getting hold of the old one so I just bit the bullet and booked it. 

 

Hope everyone is doing great and gets good news on their cases very soon! 🤞🏽❤️

Hey guys, 

Hope everyone is doing wonderfully! 🙂

 

I redid my missing medical exam today. I will get my results by phone within a week and then will need to go collect the paperwork, & overnight Fedex the sealed envelope & copy of the completed I-693 & my RFE letter back to my local USCIS office. 
 

I am not sure what to expect in terms of hearing back from them after they have received the RFE response but here’s hoping I have another update to post soon! 
 

wishing everyone luck, patience and good vibes for wherever you are in the process! Hang on in there.🙂❤️

Hello all! So we were originally scheduled for our interview for August 18th, but about a week before the interview it was cancelled.  We were rescheduled after a couple months and had the interview on Tuesday.  I brought SOOOO MUCHHH INFO and they didn't ask for anything! The only thing the interviewer looked at was my husband's passport (he is the immigrant).  He doesn't speak much English, so we had my friend as the interpreter via phone (he said I couldn't interpret which is what I was expecting).  The interviewer only asked the questions from I-485, husband was in the military in his country so he asked what his job was in the military, asked when we got married, where we got married, and that's it.  We had moved in July and so we gave him the new address (had updated USCIS like 5 times, but mail kept going to the old address).  No other questions at all. 

 

At the end he gave us the paper saying "we don't need anything else from you right now, we'll review your case and let you know."  I was happy they didn't ask any questions, but was so nervous to get a RFE when I had a giant binder filled with info I could give them in the interview! 

 

By the time we got home (we live 3hrs from the office), our "case status" switched to new card being produced, on Thursday it was "case was approved" and yesterday (Friday) it switched to "card was mailed"!

 

Long story short, maybe try not to freak out as much as me! I spent so much time printing evidence, labeling photos, and getting everything together.  We've been together 6 years and I lived in his country for 4+ years with him and gave a ton of info in the k1 process, so maybe that helped? Or maybe we just got lucky.

 

Anyways, thank you all for always updating! This site has been so helpful and it is so calming to be able to see other January filers were or were not getting interviews, ead, etc.  See you in August 2022 for I-751!

A question for those who already had their interviews: Did you bring a certified copy of your marriage certificate to the interview? We know we already sent it on the package but was wondering if they ask for it again.

No you bring the original so they can confirm that what they have belongs to your original.

In my state the marriage "certificate" from the county doesn't actually matter, but the marriage "abstract" is what legally shows you're married (it's something you have to order from the county courthouse, so maybe just check your state isn't the same?).

Also, they didn't ask for it at the interview for us (but I was thinking they would so I brought it.  It cost $2 from the courthouse so well worth the peace of mind).
