I did not wait till it turned into ready. When it turned into ready online I followed up on my original email. The embassy IV unit responded that they received all packet 3 related information and they are just waiting for the physical file (7/16). I provided them a copy of the waybill tracking that it was signed for by the embassy the week before on Saturday. They provided the initial interview date the same day. It is 2 months out for 9/12, which I assume they did since we have 2 children involved. I emailed them on 7/16 requesting the interview date to be rescheduled for August 2nd to get the kids in time to the USA for the beginning of the school year and I also confirmed we have everything ready and the medical exam has already started with a completion date of July 30th. 7/26 - embassy called and offered to move the 9/21 appointment to 8/19 to support trying to get the children into the USA in time for the school year. 8/19: interview passed and visa approved verbally. 3 questions: 1) where/how did we meet? 2) where do I live? 3) what do I do for living? Children (K2) also had to be present. 8/23: visa received, one of the packet (wife's) was damaged. We sent it back to the embassy using TNT, got rejected to be received in by security. I flew up the same day to bangkok, got the mail back from TNT and next day had an appointment with the visa unit and they resealed it in 10 minutes. Per my discussion with the lady there, the packet should have been received in from TNT by the embassy security and she submitted a formal complaint to the mail room. This added a lot of stress last minute, but eventually we got the packet resealed and was able to take our original flight. | 2023-11-20 | ||

Go this way" and directed me where to go each step of the way. After looking through my packet/envelope for 10 mins in silence, the CBP officer approved my entry and stamped the K1 visa inside my passport. I was asked no questions, but he reminded me that if I was not married in 90 days I would need to return to my home country. The CBP officer then handed me back my sealed medical exam envelope. I checked with him twice if it was correct that I should be in possession of that envelope after entry, he said yes and waved me away. After a few calls to USCIS customer service later on, I did not get any clear information if I was meant to be in possession of my sealed medical or if it would affect my AOS. I basically had two options: send the envelope in with the AOS petition, or hold onto it and risk an RFE and provide it when requested. We chose the latter. We received no RFE, and our interview was scheduled a month after my biometrics appointment. At my AOS interview I almost forgot about the envelope while answering questions, so it did not seem to be on the USCIS interviewer's agenda. I raised the issue, and he seemed confused that I had it and asked me twice what happened at the airport. He opened it and said that it was my complete medical exam/form. He said that it should not have been handed back to me by CBP, and that it was lucky I followed the clear warning on the sealed envelope to not open it. | 2022-05-03 |
