What does it mean to be "Out of Status" (past K1 visa expiration and have not filed AOS)

Sorry it took so long to answer. The others are right. If the DS-3025 is marked complete. The put that form in the package and mail that sucker off.

I would submit a proper I-485 as soon as possible.  This administration isn't playing around.  Your spouse is deportable right now.  There is no benefit in a delay.  He cannot get a Green Card, he cannot apply to work legally, and he cannot start the clock for citizenship until he is a legal resident.  All those things start with a properly filed I-485.

A simple interaction with any law enforcement could create a catastrophe. 

 

Exactly this!! Please file asap. This administration hasn’t even fully began its wrath despite what some think- it’s coming hard!! I wouldn’t delay, mess or do anything to compromise status (I don’t think you are but just pre-warning). Wishing you the best! ☘️

The question is, on his DS-3025 form he should have received from the immigrant medical provider, was he provided a blanket waiver code for the Hep-B vaccine for "Insufficient time to complete series" (Blanket Waiver Legend "B") and on the back of the form was the box checked that says, "K Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccine requirements" ? If so, he does not need a new medical exam from a civil surgeon.

I'm looking right now and his DS3025 does indeed have a "B" marked on both his Hep B and Td vaccine. Also it's checked next to "K1 applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements" So that means he doesn't need the I-693 at all? I simply include the DS-3025 with his application and leave it at that? I'm so frustrated with myself that I thought we had to put in the wait to get in to see his Dr for his completed vaccine. But luckily we can get it sent in much sooner now! Thank you SO MUCH for your help!

you mentioned getting the HepB shot. Did he get any part of the HepB vaccine for his medical? if you are waiting to start the AOS because he needs the next shot, check his vaccine transcript to see what the medical says. If it is complete you do not need to wait and see a CS. 

Yes, thanks to everyone's help I realize now he got all of his requirements in. I truly thought we had to get the next does before we could proceed. Now I know! Thank you guys so much!

As long as the immigrant medical exam was done within 1 year of filing the I-485 then yes, just include a COPY of the DS-3025 with your other supporting documents in the filing and leave it at that

If you want to see the table of contents that Jaycel and I included with our filing, you can go to the first post for the November 2024 Filers Thread we started here
