I entered the US on k1 visa and already took a physical medical exam with bloodwork for my visa abroad

and I read on the instructions for the medical form that K1 visa holders only need to fill the part of vaccine record if they already submitted an exam in the past year

I already told that to my doctor and he's not believing me and keeps asking me who told you that

so I'm I correct , I mean the instructions seem clear enough or am I missing something

Just wanted to make sure

thank you

Hello folks!

I passed my citizenship interview this Tuesday. I applied under General provision ( 5 years rule) and I am happily married to the USC .My whole immigration process was okay so far ( totally clean background checks, no RFE ever etc ) .However, my oath ceremony is scheduled to be at the end of February next year. That means, under President Trump's administration. Since they will change many immigration laws, will my oath ceremony be affected by that ?

Thank you so much in advance.

We re trying to gather all the documents we ll need for the process ahead of time. My fianc was saying that in Chile all documents from the Registro Civil are available in a certified digital format.

As an example: certified birth certificates can be downloaded for free. Would uploading the certified PDF to CEAC be sufficient for the NVC/Consular part or would physical copies be needed at some point.

Realize I m asking early but we re trying to have everything we can ready for the entire process when we file the I-130 so it s a more seamless process.

Hey everyone! Thanks for reading and helping ahead of time.

I flew in the US under a K1 visa and we wanted to submit my status adjustment next week (we have our marriage license/certificate already). However I came across a video that said that effective December 2nd, it is required to file your medical exam form (unsure about the numbers, Im sorry) along with your AOS form. So my issue is that the airport security took my sealed envelope and I currently dont possess a certified copy. I assume they sent it forward to the USCIS so they should have it?

But my main question would be do I need another medical exam in the US if I was missing vaccines at my initial medical exam in my country? I am missing only a tetanus and a covid shot (plus the flu vaccine if its needed). I was also missing the hepatitis A and B vaccine but I picked it up before I flew into the country.

should i get another medical exam where i get all the missing vaccines or should I file my AOS first?

How much are these medical exams with vaccines usually?

im sorry if this sounds confusing, to be fair I am confused myself too and was looking for some help/input.

Hello All,

History: I moved to US through marriage and had a conditional green card. We got divorced and as the process was long drawn, I filed I-751 to remove conditions on my GC but couldnt submit the divorce decree which USCIS asked for. They denied I-751 and terminated my conditional status. For 3 years I was without green card (though I am considered a resident as long as I am in US). Eventually I reapplied and got I-751 approved and have a 10 year GC now. I also applied for citizenship and was approved but delayed taking oath.This led them to cancel my N-400, and now I had to reapply the N-400 (which is under process). During past 8 years I was here, I was initially supported by my spouse, after divorce I worked for 2 years and currently I am unemployed but actively looking for work. For the past 2 years I am on Medicaid and also receive food stamps. I was receiving them for about 1 year (about 4 years back).

I am planning to travel outside US end of December and will be flying back to US in February end. I am concerned of these risks:

1) With new president taking office in Jan 20,2025, and given the history that last time he made rules to consider medicaid and food stamp use as public charge offenses, would I be stopped by CBP because I am on medicaid/food stamps.

2) Will the time period (3 years) between when my conditional green card was terminated till I got 10 year GC , come up and cause an issue with CBP on re entry to US ? Or my N-400 denial (though I was approved but I delayed taking oath) be considered against me. Even if that is construed as I do not want to be a citizen (though I have reapplied and want to be), can that be taken as intent to be not a US resident (GC).

3) If CBP officer denies my entry, what are my rights and options. Can I request a court appearance or CBP officer can deny that ? I am told I have a right to attorney, but if my flight lands at 1 am on saturday and CBP decides to deny entry by 2 am, there is on attorney who can come at that time, thus CBP has enough time to send me back.

I am pretty nervous thinking about these. Pls help.
