I did the same as Edward & Jaycel just to be on the safe side. Some people have been rejected due to not including the medical exam form even though k1 adjusters are not required to provide it. This letter points that out.

Which embassy? If you're lucky someone recently got approved who went through the same thing (and they can tell you about it), but we need to know which embassy you are dealing with.

We're in the same boat - not a peep since we filed (jan 6), though we did not include the form that makes them send a text. We'll just have to wait.

The answer has already been given but just to confirm: as an adjuster from a k1 visa you do not need to file an I-693 if your ds-3025 has the box checked that says you voluntarily completed all vaccinations.

Wow, that is fast!

Passport photos -yes, retake. include rejection notice - no a rejection at this point means your application was not processed. You are submitting a new petition, so treat it as such.

Hoi Chigger, je hebt je vraag gepost in een deel van het forum waar alleen Engels wordt gesproken. Een moderator heeft je vraag verplaatst naar het juiste deel van het forum. Je vraag is nu helaas lastig om te beantwoorden, we moeten namelijk precies weten waar je tegen aan loopt (wat voor error krijg je, wat wil je precies doen, waar zit je precies in het proces) om goed antwoord te kunnen geven. ik raad je aan om een familielid of vriend te vragen om mee te kijken en als je er dan niet uit komt om dan precies op te schrijven wat je doet en welke foutmeldingen je krijgt. Dan kan het forum beter helpen.

Yes this is a good sign. Your case is being actively looked at.

Wouldn't do it any other way!

Seems like I should take my own medicine (reading is fundamental!) :). For anybody who wants to know the specifics: In the instructions for Form I-693, it is stated on page 7/8 under item 3 that the form is not required when you received a medical examination prior to admission (that did not bring up any Class A condition OR has a waiver for said Class A condition). However, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS3025) was not properly completed you have to file a partial form I-693. My error was in not seeing that filing a partial form I-693 is only required when the DS-3025 was not properly completed. So indeed, not all i-485's need to file the I-693 with it. My DS-3025 was correctly completed so I can omit the filing of the I-693 and will add the DS-3025 for good measure. Thanks y'all!

Hey everybody, after a joyful wedding we are now preparing our aos packet. As we all know the marvelous decision has been made to require all i-485 forms to have an I-693. Woohoo… Anyhow. I am trying to find a civil surgeon who a) does not try to scam me into a full medical and b) doesn’t ask for 300-500 dollars for a bit of paperwork. My question to everyone is: is this amount of money normal for this bit of paperwork? And: if it isn’t, does anybody know a civil surgeon in the Orlando area who doesn’t try to get you to do a full medical exam and/or make you pay full price? don’t get me wrong, if this is a normal price I’m a-ok with it. I just want to make sure I’m not getting conned

No, I do not know anything about it, and I answered your question incorrectly because you hadn't filled out your timeline. My only guess is that it's still processing and you have to wait.

Hi there! Filling out your timeline really helps the community help you so please do it when you have time. If ceac shows application received, it means that the embassy has the petition. They should now send the beneficiary (im assuming you) further instructions. other members on this forum with more experience on your embassy may have more info

In my opinion the amount of pictures you have seem sufficient for now (that is, for applying for your k1 and proving that you two have met(because proof of having met is all you need for k1)). However, from now on, start taking those pictures. You might need them in the future for your adjustment of status. I found it difficult to do as well, but I got used to taking pictures after a while. Just take a quick shot when you’re together or with friend and family. Another thing: immigration doesn’t care about your opinion on how things are done (unfortunately). You just have to do them. Even (especially) though it’s annoying.
