K1visaHopeful

Seeing that your timeline is unecessarily blank, I am going to go by what you have said in your post (that you (since YOU went to the medical) are a CR1 visa APPLICANT and not a US petitioner) and have moved your post to the appropriate CR1 VISA forum as you've incorrectly posted it in the K visa AOS forum. You're likely to receive more help over there. Your situation is quite rare though so you may need to direct your enquiry to the I601 forum instead. Let us know. In the meantime: 1. 2. You can read through the I601 process on the I601 forms webpage. The flowchart link explains the process: https://www.uscis.gov/i-601 PS. I601 processing times could add 2 extra years to your process. Please do the above in numerical order. 🙂

By what you've described, their claim is not incorrect. You did not submit the correct document and even IF you miss labeled the translation wrong, that is on whomever translated them. A Basic Certificate (Detailed) was requested in RFE but instead a document titled Identification Certificate (Detailed) was sent which they did not ask for. 1. Regardless of CONTENT, if the title was not translated properly it would not be accepted. 2. What was accepted by the embassy is irrelevant. Their refusal is not wrong. That's a superb idea and should have been done in the first place. A Korean IMMIGRATION attorney at least to decipher the language barrier for document interpretation. Not sure why you are worried about your lawyer trying to do the right thing. I mean you did come in here asking non Korean reading ppl the same thing. The visa reciprocity documents website for Korea is, not surprisingly, blank so we would not have been able to confirm document types anyways. To read Korean? The document you submitted didn't match the very specific RFE request according to the translation.

One dose of any vaccine is only required to complete DS3025. It is one's CHOICE to complete the series of a vaccine and has nothing to do with immigration requirements. You can read through the immigration vaccine requirements on the CDC website.

I'd believe it when I saw an update.

Processing times for I485 are local field office dependant. Use the website above to monitor that timeline and any other future applications noting that WHERE each is processed is firm dependent. PS. Your VJ timeline is not complete so we cannot look it up for you.

Then please correct your timeline or create a new profile as yours says you were DCF I130 filing AND post in the correct forum for your situation in future as you are not a K1. You seem to be prioritizing the ADIT stamp when there is valuable info for YOU that I asked you about in my comments. It is ILLEGAL to not change your address with USCIS when you move. Ensure your immigrant is educating themselves on their process if you are unable to keep up. Can someone move this please? I still cannot. Unfollowing.

You would have received an email or text notification when you signed up for your online account. No need to call. Likely why you didn't receive it. You changed your address by filing an online AR11 for the immigrant and mailed in a paper I865 for yourself, correct? That's not the process. You'd have to file an e-request to report the missing GC. I90 filing is only AFTER you are told your e-request couldn't be honored. ADIT is requested online. Google "USCIS infopass" and the latest procedure will come up. No need to call. It's a paper insert for her passport. In person appointments are rarely done now. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE correct your timeline!!!! You have responders thinking you arrived on an immigrant visa, not a K1 solely because the information in your timeline I hugely incorrect.

1. You can Google what you typed in brackets and see that it definitely does not apply to anyone who arrived lately. Your answer is no. 2. C9. A6 expires within 90 days of arrival and cannot be renewed. It is obsolete. *INA 245 is not INA 245(i). 3. Joining the monthly AOS filing VJ thread would be in your best interest to ask and answer basics. 4. Filling out your VJ timeline is important. Do that please.

Can you explain how her GC never arrived? Your timeline says you were not a K1 but if you were a K1 (because you are posting in a K1 forum) did you apply for AOS? (If you are a K1 fix your timeline please). When? Was AOS approved? And you just didn't receive the GC in the mail after approval... Did you move? Did you place a e-request for missing document before filing I90? Did you also apply for I765 and I131 and were approved?

The immigrant should carry the shipping receipt and passport as "proof of status" until they get Noa1. Then they should carry passport and Noa1. Noa1 is the paper receipt notice that comes in the mail. Noa1 is not the text and/or email received when one submits G1145 nor is it any status notification on any USCIS website notifying the account holder of updates. Noa1 is on paper and comes in the mail.

Noa1 can take up to 30 days from when the shipment was received not sent before you are eligible to place an email enquiry to the Lockbox. Your proof of filing is your shipping receipt. The K1 visa expires the moment you use it to enter the US. Please join your AOS filing month thread.

Only one dose of any series is currently required to complete the DS3025. Completing the series of any vaccine is a PERSONAL choice and has zilch to do with immigration policy. And even if you aren't eligible or able to get a required vaccine at your PP appointment, there are waivers for that. It's not a complicated as made out to be. Read through the CDC immigration vaccine requirements page. Easy Google.

That is correct. 2 for I485. 2 for I765 2 for I131. 6 in total per petitioner.

Yes that's the part where I'm confused because no where in the instructions does it say you can check more than one box UNLESS you choose "NO" and I never have because my understanding was that you couldn't. They definitely need to include punctuation after each question to claim "and". That was always my understanding so that's why I have explained it as I have. Sorry to confuse if I haven't been clear but I think you understand what I meant. Your call entirely. I've never had an issue either.

My comment was obviously to clarify whether or not the DS3025 was complete as that's what this post is about. Hmm I wonder I why I asked the OP to fill out their timeline more than once... Perhaps you should reread the post and see that the questions were posed to determine completeness of the DS3025. The OP got it. And they responded with their understanding. All I did was ask a question so you could see that the answers varied. Covid wasn't even in question however at one point in recent time (which could have affected the OP by not knowing their timeline) Covid was the 2 dose vaccine exception to the one dose rule that had been in place "forever" for overseas medical exams. The DS3025 completeness was the question. Not what will be required now.

So to be clear so can explain this correctly, Part3 is a multiple choice question with more than one answer allowable? You can check BOTH Q1 and Q2 on the same I864 form even though the lack of punctuation doesn't indicate that? That's where I'm confused as all I've seen is answering ONLY #1 or #2 or #3. Never "and". Does that make sense what I'm saying?

My error above was stating they do allow derivatives with I130. There are no derivatives with I130. I dont know where that came from but not my brain. Every family member must file their own I130 (and I485 of course). The OP is speaking of the term derivative as if it continues on to I485 just because they came in on a K visa as a derivative. My explanation for the misuse of "derivative" as they are no longer a derivative. I'll leave a bigger space here to indicate a change of topic. He'll have to read through Part 3 of the form. It is my understanding you CANNOT check more than one box noting there are no semicolons separating each question to indicate you can choose more than one answer. Q#1 is for the K1s I864. Q#2 is for the K2s I864. I have never seen it done any other way.

What was the rule in place when the OP's spouse received their medical exam overseas by a panel physician and reported on their DS3025?

While the K1 allows K2 derivatives meaning that K2s are included under their K1s VISA and do not have to apply for there own visa that is not true for K1 and K2 AOS. Each must apply for their own I485. OP, look carefully at how you will answer Part 3 of the form. That's the part I think you are misunderstanding. That's all I've got fer ya!

Perfect then and yes, when a sponsor (or co or joint) files a joint return with a spouse, their income must be differentiated even when providing a transcript by providing an income statement. That's great that you were able to. That still does not mean you were ELIGIBLE to. There is a difference. The RFE/RFIE does state the key words "if applicable". USCIS has yet to state one's eligibility to respond online when one has not filed online. So while it's every indication that they are moving to an entirely electronic system, they have not indicated as such by their wording. If it were true that EVERYONE was ELIGIBLE to upload a response online there would be no reason for the words "if applicable" now would there be? We cannot disregard this phrase in this possible context. So while you were successfully ABLE TO, it doesn't mean that at anytime anyone could enforce that you were not ELIGIBLE TO as you did not file electronically as at this time, I485 is not an electronic form like others are. At this time there is no evidence that my information is misinformation so no, I will not refrain from explaining my view which has been supported by others regarding the wording of the extremely generic language of RFE/RFIEs. I will say this: The easy way is not always the safest way especially when it comes to interpreting USCIS language. It is up to the individual member to decide what they feel is best for them. If you feel slighted by my interpretation or advice please unfollow me in your settings so I don't have to offer my time because I offer my help to all regardless of past interactions (provided they fill out their timeline, lol).

How does one mistakenly get a duplicate A number is a mystery no one can solve. Human error is a huge likely guess. Very true. But from where? Is it obtained by info or by Alien number. We've all seen A# issued in duplicate before and it's not hard to guess that an easy error by a lackadaisical agent isn't a far off thought. Are there two A files now even? Did the agent have access to that info? Are important documents going to separated? Is this going to be fixable easily? We don't know what the agent saw or even could see. Perhaps if the OP had given their original A number instead of their receipt number the result would have been different. Not fixed but not divulged. No one can answer that. It was not clear whether or not the OP had received the actually biometrics notice by mail as in one paragraph they said they were waiting for it and another that they had already received it, so I asked what it said in regards to the Alien # listed on it to make some deductions on what may have happened. And what's the big deal? As above your case does not magically begin adjudication once biometrics are complete. In fact, biometrics can take place at the beginning, middle or end of the adjudication process for any petition type. It just has to be done EVENTUALLY and before approval. How do we, as USCIS customers, FIX (and instead, not MANIPULATE) their procedures? If they are scheduling biometrics far too soon because of issues with USPS how will they KNOW unless so many ppl start missing their biometrics that they have to do something about how soon they schedule? I disagree with this wholeheartedly. We don't make up the protocol for USCIS. We follow their procedures and stop pushing the envelope. And we sure as he-double hockey stix don't promote something like that here where something so easily can be turned into a rule to newbies who do not understand the process. That's frightening. Which is fine. But waiting for the Online Access mailer is part of the process. I agree. Not necessarily but quite possibly, as above, two Afiles separated by a million boxes or a thousand miles between SCs/FOs/storage is scary. It does if you think about future filings. Which file will they be matched up with? Have you ever heard of horror stories of ppl with two SSNs? We're lucky that citizenship only takes up around ten years of our lives. I can wonder why. If knowing why ends up helping other prevent it, it's not wrong to want to know why. My point was the OP made it sound like the holy grail of how one receives access to their online account and quite possibly exaggerated the stronghold of the info. Just because a group of newbies created their own procedure on what they think should be done doesn't make it right. And it doesn't make everything I've said wrong either. Sure I do. I get daily emails from USCIS on policy change and memorandums and form and filing updates. I read new form updates and their instructions and see their updated forms' webpage for new recommendations. Just because my answers are short and blunt doesn't mean, they aren't worthy. The majority of us answer the same questions weekly. My fingers bleed but I still help. Again, "able to" does not mean "eligble to". While USCIS may LET YOU, it in no way means you SHOULD unless specifically instructed to. "If applicable" is a phrase that is largely misinterpreted. Until USCIS comes out with revised clarification on their instructions for online RFE responses, I stand by that. As above. And? What does having to reschedule your Biometrics mean to your process? Absolutely nothing at all. In fact, you'd be helping the process and USCIS as a whole. I'd like to see that one resolved too but I'm hard pressed to see anyone announce their discrepancy.

Not sure where you have read that but you have misunderstood what the term "principal immigrant" means. Each person is the principal immigrant on their own I864 so the answers for each will vary on their own form. Ie. In layman's terms, you would not list your K1 as the name of the K2 because the K2 has their own name. Please read through the form and it's instructions carefully. K2s are not derivatives for the K visa adjustment process. Derivatives only come into play on the I130 form and the I751 form in some circumstances.

https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/contact-us Lockbox If you have a question about a filing mailed to the Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, or Elgin Lockbox you may email us at lockboxsupport@uscis.dhs.gov and we will answer your email as soon as possible. Please include the form number, receipt number, petitioner and/or applicant name, and mailing address. Do not include Social Security numbers in emails. Examples of Lockbox questions include: The reason your submission was rejected; How or where to submit an application or petition that should be filed at one of the four Lockbox locations; and Filing more than 30 days ago and not yet receiving a receipt notice.

It can take up to 30 days to receive Noa1 in the mail from when the shipment is received not sent until you are eligible to place an email enquiry with the lockbox. The website states that. One person, who is a current AOS filer and has posted less than 300 comments in his time on VJ. Other places, please link them so it can be corrected so your problem doesn't become one for many. Following the official website for timelines and protocol imperative. I'll go as far as to say that your error came from the online chat agent (whom you didn't need to contact) providing info for a different immigrant and mistakenly connecting it to you. Keyword. Which is the correct protocol as outlined by USCIS. How would you know that for sure if you haven't received the biometrics notice in thy mail?

Walk ins are for going BEFORE your schedule appointment if you can't make the scheduled appointment, not after. You did the right thing by rescheduling. Just have to wait like they stated. Not a big deal to have to wait. It doesn't delay your process. It's not like having biometrics done allows the process to begin. Your case will likely sit for months. Biometrics completed or not.
