US Immigration from Italy

Hello,

Finally after just 2 years of waiting, I got my AoS interview scheduled. They haven't sent me the interview's date yet (I just got an email and an updated from the USCIS app), but today I got a letter from USCIS saying that I might need to bring an updated form I-693 to my appointment. I have done my medical exam in my country for the K1 visa (this was October 2018), and once I moved to the US and married my husband I applied for the AoS and sent my I-693 with the I-485 (this was December 2018 - my NOA date is 12/10/2018). Now from the letter it seems I need to do again this medical. It says:

"If you submitted your form I-485 on or after November 1, 2018, it is valid for two years after the date of submission. If your appointment date is more than two years after the date of submission, your Form I-693 is no longer valid. Please bring an updated Form I-693 to interview appointment"

Can please someone confirm that I understand correctly and need to redo the medical? And if I do, I have to find the civil surgeon through the USCIS website and bring the I-693 to the appointment for the surgeon to fill out? Do I need a picture too?

Also, is it normal that they sent me this and not the letter with the date yet?

Thank you!

I was scheduled for interview the 2 Dec but i had to cancel due some covid restrictions.I see next dates available are August and officially seem consulate stopped issue visas since 9 Nov.

Anyone else is on waiting list or had chance to communicate with em?

When I submitted my I-130 my teenage son was living with me. He's since then moved. Because he's almost 18 & works full-time, I won't be including him on my 2020 taxes. When I complete the affidavit of support, do I omit my son? Or would I include him, since he's listed on the I-130?

Hi all,

What are the rules on self-employment when your work permit request is still pending and you have already married your US partner? For example, I am thinking of making an Etsy, can I sell my handmade things to Americans in America? I'm not over there yet.

Thanks

Hello again everyone,

I just want to share my experience here. I can see other people have my same experience too.

I applied for AOS in March, in August took the biometrics and in September I received the Combo card. Surprisingly, in October I received another Notice of Action to take again the biometrics on November 9.

Last week I had the chance to speak at the phone with a USCIS officer who strongly recommended to go anyway, despite it was probably a USCIS mistake (he said it). Not even my lawyer expected this.

So this morning I showed up and gave the notice at the front desk officer. The first thing he did, as soon as I told him that I already took the biometrics once and showed him the previous receipt, was to make fun of me. He asked if I could read, just because on the first NOA it is reported I-485 and I-765, whereas this time the NOA is referred to the I-131. I told him I was aware of the difference and I pointed out my conversation with a USCIS office at the phone. Nothing. He kept answering in a very unprofessional manner. I apologized and went ahead.

I thought the Immigration center in my country sucked, but I am reconsidering USCIS too.
