@M3gaaan A pamphlet you should read and save concerning divorce in Idaho. . https://courtselfhelp.idaho.gov/docs/publications/DCCS-7.pdf Because it’s a pamphlet meant to be printed and folded, the first topic is on the second page. Prepare yourself for divorce because a pound to a penny you are headed that way because he’s still talking about possible divorce after he helps you get your 10 year card. I hope you understand you do not need his help and you could get on with it sooner with a divorce waiver. Does he think in 2024 he will be off the hook when you apply? Does he realize it is going to be pending a year or more after you apply? I understand you are still hopeful, but you do need to be more informed anyway. He is not the good guy here. How many times has he changed his mind in a very short time? Four? Is he cheating on you or wanting to, so talked about a split to try out somebody else? Did that not pan out so he’s back again or does your crying make him say things to appease you? It sounds dodgy.

You don’t have to repeat all your childhood shots. All you have to get are the ones age appropriate for adults. Take the red book. It used to be accepted at the clinic. See what your GP will give you free from the list below. Some won’t do free for immigration, others do. The flu shot in the UK is for young children and seniors so your GP won’t give that, but the US requires it. You can go to a travel clinic, Boots, or clinics in stores. Get a written record. Or pay the visa clinic on the day. Here are the shots needed for 19 through 59 years of age: Td or Tdap - Tetanus/diptheria/pertussis or get DT, DTP or DtaP and it will be accepted. The latest shot must be no longer than 10 years ago or you need a booster. In the UK they will give Revaxis which is Tetanus/diphtheria +polio. Adults don’t need polio for immigration but that’s the combo available in the UK. They don’t have a Tetanus and diphtheria only jab like Adacel given in the US. MMR - (if born in 1957 or later)-Mumps/measles/rubella. It's two doses in your life, but if you get the first dose, and 4 weeks haven't passed by your medical, they will waive the second dose for "insufficient time interval". If you only had one dose as a child, get a second one before the medical. Varicella - Not routinely given in the UK. A history of having chickenpox excuses you from the shot. They take your word for it at the visa medical exam. They will also waive the shot in the UK for "not routinely available". Influenza - Required during flu season only, October 1 through March 31. If your medical is not during flu season, you don't need it. Hepatitis B - required for all applicants up to 59 years old. COVID-19 vaccine - Completely vaccinated with primary dose 1&2. No boosters required at this time.(New starting 1-Oct-2021).

Christmas Is a difficult time to wrap your head around things. It can be an emotional time. Maybe just put it off for a few weeks. New year, new you. 🥳 Make a list. All the benefits of starting over in the UK. And all the reasons you could make it in the US . A job, and some financial footing would be essential for a place to live, utilities, health insurance, etc. Research what financial benefits Idaho might hold for you in divorce settlements before you just sign off. Maybe a consult with an ID divorce attorney. Don’t cut him any slack. And at 21, this is the is probably the most devastating thing that has happened to you in your life. But from a much older bloke, I assure you that you deserve somebody and will find a better person, but it’s hard to imagine that right now. It will happen. It’s not like you are a thirty-five year old with three kids looking for love. You are free to have a great single life or plan for a new career. You married quite young and your choice of a partner can certainly change over the next few years as you mature more. If you decide to make a go of it in the US, you can file the ROC with a waiver (by yourself, no spouse signature) as soon as you get a final divorce decree. You don’t have to wait until 2024. You will have to present evidence that you married in good faith with documents showing you had joint accounts, joint taxes, shared utility bills, and all the things others provide for regular ROC, but only covering the time from marriage to divorce. Go read the ROC forum for many ideas of what to get your hands on while you can.

I would focus on the shots are not age appropriate as facts they can see on the I-693 they received. I would avoid pointing blame at the USCIS as I have read attorney pages saying they rarely admit to making a mistake. So give the facts to reconsider without specifically saying “you messed up”. And I would choose to separate my evidence and arguments into two separate briefs. The arguments are different. And saying this again—-I still think what happened at the panel physician overseas has no bearing on your case now. You started over with a civil surgeon and an I-693. And I think saying you failed to get a photocopy at both places sounds dodgy and makes you sound careless like you just misplaced them. You have evidence of the I-693 being incorrectly completed and the letter of that admission. That is the best basis, in my opinion, of reopening. I like keeping it clear and simple without rambling on about things that don’t focus on the issue.

If AlexaL kept a timeline, you could see when the visa arrived. You should fill in your timeline and country and embassy as well to help others..

Yes. That’s why I gave the Policy Manual link to you. If you read the whole section there are several things that apply. Follow links, see footnotes. You’ve got to dig the information out and find the proper wording (like the vaccines were medically inappropriate for my age) or get a lawyer to prepare it for you.

@dundeehighlander A motion to Reconsider can only look at the evidence available at the time the decision was made. New evidence like the corrected I-693 and civil surgeon’s statement of error aren’t relevant. Your reconsideration would have to be based on the fact that you were denied for lack of having the HIB and pneumococcal vaccines. Those vaccines were not needed by an adult of x years old. Your record at the interview showed you had received all of the required adult vaccines which are: Td or Tdap MMR Hepatitis B Varicella (waived due to a history of having chickenpox) COVID-19 vaccine If you want to add new evidence (corrected I-693) then I believe you need to file to Reopen. I don’t remember which route you had decided on since you mentioned both in your previous thread.

I think mention of K1 exam with panel physician just muddies the water. When one sees a civil surgeon for a new exam, what happened at a panel physician is no longer relevant. He started over in the US because a year had passed before he filed for AOS. Keep the focus on the I-693 and civil surgeon.

Actually I was saying every case I have read in the UK forum was an easy to fix situation…supply what was asked for….birth certificate, fix the financials…and done. Your case is different so I have nothing I remember like yours because you can’t supply what they asked for. But you provided the letter from Qatar saying you aren’t allowed one so that should be taken into consideration. How was your UK record? Did you get “No Trace”? This will all get sorted, but putting a timeframe to a harder case is difficult to predict. But you should rest your brain for a week and see if it sorts quickly. watch your CEAC updates for “issued”.

I don’t know. In a dozen years on this forum, I’ve never seen a case of rejecting the lacking evidence. Usually it is something like wrong birth certificate (not long form), or a need to upload a W2 for the financials. Sounds like you did your due diligence. Let it ride for a week and take a short break from worrying. It could be fine.

I wouldn’t do the medical over again. You got a new sealed envelope for USCIS? And a photocopy for yourself? You are vague in your description.

Usually within a week if they accept your lack of police certificate. The Dept of State acts like one is available to you. Did that application not work. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Qatar.html Police certificate is down that page.

I don’t know Poland, but here is a review posted on VJ from January 2022. My wife had to transfer her visa interview from Russia to Warsaw due to the embassy in Moscow basically shutting down. The consulate was amazing and very helpful in taking our case. My wife showed up and they were very busy. They only took the marriage certificate, birth certificate and the general documents at the first window. They did not ask for any of my financial documents. They didn't even look at any of the pictures which was kind of disappointing because we went through a lot of effort picking the best ones and getting them printed:-). She finished the in-processing and sat down expecting a couple hour wait. Luckily the wait was short and she went to the second window. They only asked when we met, our last vacation and what I did for work. It was a very short interview and she was approved and done. The big issue os that apparently they have changed how you get your visa. Before you could come back the next day and pick it up. Now there is a 3-5 day wait. My wife was really worried and stressed out but they were really great at the embassy and we have zero complaints. I would still make sure to take everything on the checklist...better safe than sorry. Like other reviews, it was chilly inside. I am glad we got to go to this embassy. It seemed like almost everyone was from Russia! Good luck everyone! Here’s the link to all Warsaw reviews https://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Poland&cty=&dfilter=5

Whomever says wife can be “dependent” on tax form just doesn’t know taxes. My wife who has done her own taxes for decades says she has never seen the spouse named in the dependent section of Form 1040. Kids yes, but spouse no. “Itemized Deductions” (like donations, mortgage interest, some medical and such) are kind of a thing of the past for average blokes like us since the IRS overhauled taxes a few years back. They created such a huge “Standard Deduction” that you just get without doing anything or having a mortgage, etc) It’s often better than trying to come up with a bunch of deductions that are higher than $25,900 for 2022. It works like this—-say your income is $60,000. You get to subtract $25,900 off that and only pay taxes on $34,100 income instead of the full $60k you earned. So that’s how filing jointly in your case is most likely the best. Get married by Dec 31 if you want the tax benefits in 2022 tax year. Otherwise your filing has to be Single. If she can’t get here before 2022 ends, I see no rush to marry asap as long as it’s within 90 days. I think you misread some. I explained she only has a 76 day window to get a SSN as a K1. That is what you should do asap….go apply for her SSN. .She has to apply in the name she entered the US with because she has to be found in USCIS admission records by the Social Security office. If you go in and apply in her new married name, she won’t be found under that name and they won’t issue a SSN. Even if her card is not in her married name, the ss number still works for her. She can change the last name with Social Security after USCIS issues her greencard or employment authorization in the married name. Do apply for AOS/EAD/AP in the new married surname.

I believe you are looking for ways to reduce your taxes based on adding a wife to your household. Note: You have to be married by Dec 31 or you still file your 2022 return as Single. But the concepts below apply for 2023 as well. The spouse can’t be called a “dependent” in IRS jargon, even though she depends on you for support. You can file a joint return with her, even if she has no income. That will give you an extra $12,950 (2022 amount) in standard deduction in addition to your $12,950. Since she has no income, all $25,900 will be taken off your income before determining your taxable income. That will reduce your tax. The joint number for 2023 tax year will be $27,700. The tax rate for Married Filing Jointly is lower than filing separately, so another bonus for having a wife on your return as a joint filer. Be sure to go to a Social Security office and apply for her SSN in her maiden name/ name on visa soon after her arrival. You don’t even have to be married yet for her to get a SSN as a K1. She has to apply within her first 76 days in the US or the window closes based on K1. She would have to wait for her greencard or employment authorization after her K1 window for SSN closes. The important thing is getting the number, even though in maiden name. You can sort out the married name down the line.

Here’s a couple of things I’ve been meaning to post to you that may be useful The USCIS policy manual chapter on vaccinations. If you scroll down you will see C. Adjudication Steps which outlines the steps your interviewer was supposed to take and didn’t in your case. For example Step 1 Determine which vaccination(s) were age appropriate for the applicant to receive based on the applicant’s age on the date the medical exam was completed. Several things were not done. Also see— F. Completion of the Results Section by the Civil Surgeon and see what your civil surgeon marked. Link https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-b-chapter-9 This is a nicely written article that summarizes various options when denied. https://www.yeklaw.com/blog/2020/july/your-i-485-was-denied-what-are-your-next-steps-/

Perfect! Have you booked a medical? Do you know it is most important to go with all immunisations completed. Shout if you need jab information.

Yes If you notice it says Persons NOT sponsored on this affidavit. If you had a spouse that was not the person you were sponsoring, then you would count him. Example you were sponsoring a parent. The parent would be the autofill 1 and you would have to also count your spouse in that situation.

You only need one if it’s recent. There’s a wait period between doses of at least 4 weeks. If four weeks have passed since a jab, you may be required to get the next due dose. If four weeks haven’t passed, then the rest get waived for “insufficient time interval”. I don’t know all the intervals. I think there are several versions of the vaccine and they would have their own suggested intervals. Check for flu vaccines at Boots or clinics inside stores. Be sure and get written proof with a date and name of vaccine. Or get it at the visa clinic. Maybe compare prices and ease of getting it. at the visa clinic— Influenza £15, Hep B £45

There are two kinds of doctors. Which did you see? Panel Physician- The one you saw in London for your K1 visa. You were not required to have vaccinations for. K1 so they would not offer them routinely. BUT you would need any missing shots to get approved for AOS. They would have given you a photocopy of your vaccination form. Did they tell you you had any shots missing? What did you do with your vaccination form they always give our in London. Civil Surgeon- is only found in the US. They should know the adult requirements. AND they should give you the sealed copy of an I-693 form to give to USCIS and a photocopy to you so you could check for errors. I know you saw a panel physician in order to get a visa. Did you also have a medical exam by a Civil Surgeon.in the US? If so, where is your photocopy of the medical Form I-693? Did you mail in the sealed medical form with your AOS application? Or did you provide it at your interview? Or did you turn it in at your AOS interview? What date was you medical exam in London? What date did you file for AOS? Getting all the facts straight will help people answer your original question of what can you do now?

K1 appointments started getting sketchy after the embassy started reopening following Covid shutdowns. Many of the staff still worked from home, so not that many on-site to conduct interviews. And K1s were not being interviewed for a long time, even when spouse visa applicants were. So the backlog was huge. One would think it would be resolved by now. They used to open a new month of interviews at the end of the month. Maybe that will still happen this week and January will open. Maybe your emails will jog somebody’s memory to open interview slots. Report back when you get in.

The embassy website has a 2-page guide for your appt day https://uk.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/IVK-preparingforyourappointmentJuly.pdf

No, not if you didn’t earn income in the US between Dec 20 and Dec 31. But it would likely save your spouse tax dollars by filing a joint return with you for 2022 to get the extra standard deduction of $12,950 so less taxable income. And the MFJ rate would be cheaper than her alternative of Married Filing Separately while you filed nothing.

How is she covered for health insurance currently? Will she be able to receive health insurance as the spouse of a retiree by chance? Private pay insurance is very costly with poor benefits for the elderly. She could qualify for Medicare at age 65 with 40 quarters paid into Social Security. She can also qualify based on your Medicare if you are still alive when she reaches 65. And there are ways to pay higher amounts for Medicare. You should look into the source at Medicare.gov You don’t have to die for her to receive spousal benefits as early as age 62. See the ssa explanation https://www.ssa.gov/oact/quickcalc/spouse.html They don’t care. When you file a joint return, she is jointly paying taxes as a joint filer. NO. Ridiculous idea and could head you down a slippery slope toward fraud. Is her fake employer going to send her a fake 1099 wage statement as well as report it to the IRS with a fake employer Tax ID? Keep it honest.
