Remember, get that document started ASAP ... you'll be amazed just how hard it is already to dig up photos in just this short time

 

Duplicates of everything taken to GC interview made and already the stack of photos and documents grows.....crazy isn't it

Update. 

Today the case status changed to Card was produced.  Now to wait for it to arrive in the mail. My wife is so excited, and I am happy this first ordeal is done. Next up in 2 years to do the Removal of Conditions procedure and at the same time apply for her citizenship.

So happy to hear this - yay! 🥳 We all made it such a long way and should be proud - none of this is easy!

 

We are synced up on the same timeline now - we can send it our removal on conditions anytime after March 1 2026 (90 days before GC expires) - and believe me we have already started prepping. Once he got his SS card in the mail we went over to my credit union and added him to my bank account. We also have his resume completed and been applying at jobs and looking at getting him into another ESL class. One step at a time!

Today we received notice that our case was transferred to our local field office.

 

They are also asking for a I-693 Medical. For context our DS-3025 was not marked complete for some reason after the exam. In the FAQ for the 693 it says if a medical exam was performed prior to entry (and less than 1 year), then a medical exam is not needed but that a confirmation / translation of vaccine updates is required if the DS was not filled out correctly.

 

Is it safe to just perform the full 693 or thoughts on having them translate the vaccine portion? 

 

Also I assume the next step is interview if it is at our local office.

 

 

Update: Since our DS was not marked complete we decided to do a full 693 panel for $380. It turns out there were some vaccines to update, which worked out. 

 

We took the advise from rierose and went in person to drop it off. Also included a packet of evidence of life together, in the off chance it would help with the approval. 

 

The next day our case was updated to Approved! Now we wait for the card to be issued and start gathering more evidence for the 2 year condition removal.

Excellent news and congratulations

Well, seems all active members have gotten through the AOS process ... I do hope that Visa Journey maintains this to help others through this process.

 

See you all at the I751 and N400 steps.

Don't forget to build your proof of marriage doc and be careful that you don't file before 90 days before expiration (that is NOT 3 months in most cases)
