Correct. If your K-1 medical is complete, you do not need an I-693 if you file your AOS within a year after the medical. If you have a copy of the DS-3025, you can include that in your packet (make sure to keep a copy as well). If you receive a request to bring an I-693 to your interview, bring the DS-3025 and the I-693 instructions to clarify that you should not need to redo your medical.

If you completed your K-1 medical and the DS-3025 was signed off as complete, and you filed your AOS within a year after doing the K-1 medical, you do not need an I-693. This is very clearly explained in the I-693 instructions, on pages 7 and 8 (https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-693instr.pdf). So either your K-1 medical was incomplete, not properly signed off, you filed your AOS very late, or whoever told you that you need an I-693 is wrong. It is generally recommended to make sure to complete the K-1 medical to avoid having to redo the medical in the US. There are only a few cases where it would make sense to not complete the K-1 medical (for example, postponing certain vaccinations due to pregnancy). For the record, I did the K-1 and AOS. But everyone else here also understands this process. It is not that complicated and the instructions are very clear.

Read the I-129F instructions. It has a list of required evidence that you have to send with your petition; just the form is not enough. USCIS does not send a checklist. Depending on the country in which the beneficiary is interviewing, they may receive a checklist from the consulate with a list of documents to mail or bring to the consulate.

I would first make an effort to find the address. Google is your friend. If she really can't find the information (which is hard to believe, but okay), "unknown" is an option. But I would not want to submit an employment history with lots of unknowns.

I think you have a pretty decent list of evidence, especially with the insurance and joint bank account. You could consider including a letter explaining the living situation so they'll know why there isn't a lease.

I totally agree with @mam521! We did the K-1 and absolutely regretted it. It was such a stressful, depressing start of our marriage. We got through it, but 8 months sitting at home in a new country with no friends, no job, no driver's license, while my husband worked extra hours to support both of us, was just miserable. You have a chance now to get married and file the I-130 online. Weddings are just a bit different when immigration is involved. We just did a courthouse wedding and keep saying that some day we'll do a big celebration to renew our vows, but we've been married for over 6 years now and haven't done anything. Maybe for our 10 year anniversary... 🤣

Depending on which state you are in, he likely won't be able to get a driver's license or state ID until he has his EAD or green card. His "legal presence" is not established at the state level, but at the federal level. This is a huge downside of adjustment of status; he will be in limbo for many months just waiting. Focus on what you do have. His current form of ID is his passport; see if that's accepted to add him to your account, insurance, etc. Maybe include some wedding pictures. Really anything you can think of that shows that you are married and starting to comingle your finances. And then, while you are waiting, keep collecting more evidence that you can bring to your interview. They understand that newlyweds may not have a lot of shared finances yet, so you'll have a chance to add more at the interview.

While I agree with everyone else that the safest option is to try to get some kind of insurance, I know from experience that this isn't as easy as it sounds. Not having insurance will not necessarily affect your AOS application, as long as you have other evidence that you can include. When I moved here on my K-1 visa, my husband had not had health insurance for many years. His employer did not offer health insurance, he could not afford plans through the Marketplace, but his income was too high to qualify for Medicaid (he was in the "gap population": income too high for Medicaid, too low to be able to afford other plans). I moved here, and there were no affordable insurance options for me either, especially because we were living on just his income for months. I was very homebound because I was just waiting for my EAD and couldn't do much, but it was still a scary situation. As soon as I was getting close to receiving my EAD I started looking for jobs and specifically looked for employers providing health insurance. I was able to get a job offer even before I received my EAD, they were willing to wait until my EAD would be approved, and I started working the day after I had received my EAD. That job came with health insurance for both of us. We had my AOS interview a few months after I had started working. We had initially filed my AOS without much evidence, but were able to bring the insurance policy and statements of our joint account to our interview and were approved. Long story short, yes you should have health insurance if at all possible. And in some states it can be very challenging or simply impossible to find affordable health insurance. Having health insurance is not a requirement for AOS, but it may help as evidence.

Do you have someone who can help you fill out the forms and make sure no fields are accidentally skipped? While the forms are fillable PDFs, I don't think that they are very screen reader accessible, so it might be good to have some help just so you know the forms are filled out correctly. That doesn't necessarily need to be an attorney though, it can be anyone you trust.

USCIS does not dictate how a married couple should manage their finances. Your spouse has shown that he can financially support you, and now it's up to you and your spouse to figure out what that looks like for you. Ideally, this would be something that has been discussed before you even moved her, to make sure that you are on the same page regarding these financial expectations.
