https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-134instr.pdf the best thing to include is the most recent tax return transcript, you can get those here https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript you can also include a statement from your employer "Statement(s) from your employer on business stationery showing: A. Date and nature of employment; B. Salary paid; and C. Whether the position is temporary or permanent" and/or 3-6 months of consecutive paystubs and W2 but tax return transcripts are the best evidence

from the USCIS website for tips for mailing packages: "Mark the envelope and the cover letter with the type of submission. For example, Original Submission, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I-485)." so you would just change that to Petition for alien Fiance form I-129f https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail

your wife needs to fill in that section. however, it should only be her assets, it shouldn't include yours at all. the joint sponsor, since their income exceeds the guidelines, will not have to.

1. you can just do the most recent year. instructions on the I-864 state they only require the most recent year, but you can include up to 3 years if you believe it will help prove the sponsors financial ability to support the immigrant. 2. USCIS prefers the tax return transcripts. 3. so what is her legal name? Mary Grace or Grace Mary? do her greencard and social security card match? that discrepancy could cause issues with USCIS imo

a lot of times it depends on the bank, i know mine required a state ID to open any account

I know we found it easier to just get a state ID first for my husband here in michigan getting a drivers license would have taken another 3 months and we needed to set up bank accounts and joint accounts before then lol

probably has something to do with this question on the I-485 some people get a rejection (before payment is processed, so not an outright denial) for not picking the right one (spouse vs fiance) others dont. that might be why some K1 greencards say one over the other. but as olduser said, shouldn't be an issue for ROC

i would say yes and you would include the rejection notice

read through those guides as well but once the embassy receives your case from the NVC (your tracking should update to "Ready") the embassy will contact the beneficiary, usually by physical mail, with all of the information on what steps are next this will include how to pay the visa fee, how and when to schedule the medical, how and when to schedule the interview, and everything that needs to be brought to the interview

it depends on your state https://www.fsmb.org/contact-a-state-medical-board/ you should be able to find the right place to file a complaint here

this can be mended at the time of your interview or at your POE when you arrive on the K1 visa. at this time put whatever your fiances current address is

on page 8 of the I-129f (i assume this is what you mean when you say you haven't started the process for the K1 visa) there is a place to specify what embassy but i believe sometimes they don't go off that information and it will go to the embassy where the beneficiary is a citizen or permanent resident but as I said, when you get to that point and it does end up at the embassy in the Philippines, you may be able to have it transferred to hong kong where the medical takes places entirely depends on where the interview will take place

alien number if you check your I-129f approval notice, it is probably on there where it says beneficiary it starts with A and then 7-9 numbers after so like: A123456789

you wont have a USCIS account number yet, you can just put N/A in that box this is what we used for the DS-3025 cover letter. name, A-number, phone number, address, and email were all also written in the header USCIS Attn: AOS P.O. Box 4109 Carol Stream, IL 60197-4109 RE: Medical Exam for K-1 Nonimmigrant Visa Holder Applying for Adjustment of Status as an Immediate Relative of a US Citizen (Form I-485) To whom it may concern, I, Applicant Name, was admitted to the U.S. as a K-1 Visa Holder and am now applying for Adjustment of Status as an Immediate Relative based on marrying my US Citizen Spouse, Petitioner Name, within the requisite 90-day period. I completed an immigration medical exam abroad prior to the issuance of my K-1 Visa and my entry to the United States AND within one year of filing my Form I-485 application. My Medical Exam was completed by a panel physician in Location on Date. The panel physician did not find any medical conditions (this might need to be changed due to your wife's HepB) and documented that I voluntarily completed all vaccination requirements. Per Form I-693 instructions, I am not required to complete another medical examination if I completed an immigration medical exam abroad within one year of filing Form I-485; and I provide proof that I complied with all vaccination requirements. Following this letter I have included a copy of my Form DS-3025 Vaccination Documentation Worksheet which was completed and signed by the panel physician during the medical examination indicated above. Copies of documents submitted are exact photocopies of true, unaltered documents and I understand that I may be required to submit original documents to an immigration or consular officer at a later date. Signed, Applicant Name as far as the I-94, i believe that would be your only option to go back to the POE and change it. or you can just request one with the I-485. but many have said that SSA have stopped automatically issuing the SS cards, and you may have to go into the SSO after your wife receives her greencard

CR1 is overall a better choice both have similar timelines but I've heard that I-129f cases have slowed down significantly

it is not run by USCIS in any capacity, but it does use USCIS statistics to generate it's estimations. the only benefit it has is to give you a general idea of how USCIS is processing cases and how long it is taking. but other than that? not really my husband (fiance at the time) used it for just the 3 day free trial and it had given us an estimate of about a month until we had a decision. I believe we got the approval a few days later (within the 3 day free trial coincidentally lol)

if anything USCIS might send an RFE for a new medical. if your wife is out of status (which i'm guessing she is based on her POE date from your timeline) you want to get her AOS submitted as soon as possible.

ahh yes that is the same form, it might have the DS-3025 listed in the bottom left corner of the page? on the second page of the form is the second box checked? if so, your wife wouldn't need a second medical. which would only be the vaccine portion of the I-693 anyway, it is listed in the instructions that K1 visa holders are only required to fill out that part. but if you have a DS-3025 that is marked as complete, you don't need to. however if you can't get the AOS packet submitted within the next 30 days, she will need to do a whole new medical.

K1 Visa holders are not required to submit form I-693 if they are applying for adjustment of status within 1 year of the medical they received abroad. your wife should have received a copy of form DS-3025 (vaccine documentation worksheet) from the physician who did her visa medical. Does she have a copy of it? it should be marked "K1 visa applicant voluntarily completed all vaccine requirements" or something like that. if she has this document, you can submit a copy of it with a cover letter explaining K1 visa holders do not need to submit an I-693 if they had the medical abroad. USCIS should have the medical linked to her A-file. it would have been sent to USCIS by CBP when she handed over the sealed envelope at her POE when she first arrived

she may be able to she would have to contact the embassy in hong kong to request the case be transferred to them, and hong kong would initiate the transfer its up to the embassy in hong kong

they mean filling out your timeline here - https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/intro.php?cfl= this will contribute to the stats on visajourney, which helps everyone according to USCIS processing times, current timelines are about 8.5 months to decision for 80% of cases. so youre still within the current timeline. this is usually the longest part of the K1 process

the K1 visa validity is based on the date of the medical exam, not the date of the interview. the medical exam is only valid for 6 months. so if you do the medical too early, you could be put in a situation of having to rush to use the visa. that is probably why they wanted to know the date of the medical before you attended it. also so they know to expect the medical exam results to be sent to them

glad to hear it went well! did they give you a copy of the DS-3025? the vaccine documentation? as you may need it for your AOS when in the states. if they didn't probably easier to get a copy now while youre still in the country lol

per USCIS, you only need one dose off all required vaccines. vaccines that have multiple stages should be done on your own time if you so choose, but are not required for immigration "Certain vaccine series can only be completed with multiple visits to the civil surgeon. Am I required to complete the entire series before the civil surgeon can sign the Form I-693? A. You are only required to receive a single dose of each vaccine when you visit the civil surgeon. You are encouraged to follow up with your private health care provider to complete the series. Once you have received the single dose appropriate at the time, the civil surgeon can sign and certify the Form I-693." https://www.uscis.gov/tools/designated-civil-surgeons/vaccination-requirements according to the CDC it is recommended it get 2 doses of the measles vaccine (which is just the MMR vaccine, there isn't one just for measles). this is usually done in childhood, but if older children or adults don't have record of receiving it, 1 to 2 doses is recommended. "Older children, adolescents, & adults—Also need 1 or 2 doses of MMR vaccine if they don't have evidence of immunity" https://www.cdc.gov/measles/vaccines/index.html this could be what the physician is referring to, if they said it is required for immigration, that is incorrect according to USCIS

your fiance should have gotten it at the end of the appointment definitely have him reach out and ask for it. it is very good to have when it comes time for AOS
