Stranger things have happened

No - this is not needed, and very uncommon. The Civil Surgeon is signing off on the vaccinations only, and does not to sign off on the exam. Some people have had difficulties with Civil Surgeons who want to give a whole new exam, but simply showing them the directions on the from (which say Vaccination Supplement Only) should be good enough. If not, you can always find another surgeon.

Thanks for the reply Randy. Is there a way to get a copy of the Medical Examination performed overseas and filed with the K1? Not likely - but if it has the vaccinations in it, then I would think she's okay.

If you don't have the records (usually in a little yellow book), she will have to have all vaccinations over again. But, yes, you need to supply the records here. The Civil Surgeon will transcribe what you give him into the I-683.

They were placed in your file, along with all other documents. They will be there when you interview for AOS. You need to get the vaccinations filled in and signed off by a civil surgeon. You do NOT need to pay for a whole new medical exam, like some will tell you.

If they want her to bring her passport, you can bet it will be to put a visa in it. Wait until she hears from GUZ.

http://i35.tinypic.com/23szyhc.jpg from the OF-169. They can and do ask for them on occasion. One case was where the employer had reported a different termination date than that reported by the applicant.

The USCIS can deny her application, but they don't get the final say. She can appeal the denial, or the USCIS can go to court to have her removed. Either way, she gets her say in court, unless she chooses to leave.

But two things could potentially happen - 1) She could be denied if her husband doesn't show up for the interview and she is unable to claim abuse - time to head for a lawyer and a court hearing 2) He can rescind the I-864 up until the interview She can change her address easily enough, and get a replacement if they still happen to send it to the old address.

Are you saying we should not EXPECT any letter to come,instructing her to get medical exam for the Green Card? Are we just waiting for some kind of "Green Card Appointment Letter" to arrive? She got fingerprinted in TAMPA,then her EAD Card arrived in the mail. Thats the last contact from them. Its been about 3 months since the EAD Card arrived. No more letters received since. You can expect an interview appointment letter soon Check here for processing times https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp They show that they are now processing applications w/NOA1 date of dec 7, 2007

If she can get her status adjusted, then all is well. I expect that she can, hopefully without having to hire any lawyers.

. . . except for the normal several months period that we all wait through. It'll be processed by the USCIS and NVC before going on to GUZ.

If it doesn't come, it doesn't - but it will. It's no disaster. There's no VO smack dab in the middle of the marriage any more.

Well, EXACTLY! You're right! Join the club! Set a spell! We're just starting to worry now (after 2 1/2 years) If her son was under 18 when you married, you can file the I-130 for him. Or he can come as a K-2 follow-to-join if he uses the visa within one year of her entry date. In my view, the EAD card makes her a real person - able to conduct whatever sort of business she needs to in this country.

Yes - the point is that it looked much better than having a REAL helicopter chasing after the REAL fireworks

Assuming he never sent the papers in for her - yes she can apply for herself. Whether she is approved or not is another story. But she will legally be in the country as long as her case is still open. Whether she eventually gets the green card may very hinge on whether she can claim abuse or not. I would think that, under the circumstances, this would be fairly easy. She can also, at least temporarily, get a work permit. If the USCIS denies her application, they will not have her removed. They will go to court for this. She will have a chance there to explain her case to the judge. All this takes money, of course.

Another thread on the subject http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?...st&p=337455

Yes - and yes you can file the I-485 without an approved I-130 I'll see if I can find who. Yes - but the son will need an I-130 sooner or later. You may file two I-130's now - one for the mother, one for the son - and go the CR-1/CR-2 route. If you go the K3/K4 route, you will file an I-130 for the mother now. Then, when you get the I-797 receipt, file an I-129F for the mother only. List the son, like Tom points out. The mother's I-130 will most likely be approved while you are waiting. The son will submit his own P3 and P4 paperwork - this is the only paperwork that needs to be submitted for K-4. Then, when they both arrive, within two years, file an adjustment of status (I-485) for the mother and a separate I-130 and I-485 for the son. If the I-130 for the mother has still not been approved, write "pending" in the blank that asks about it. So the son gets an I-130 either now, or upon arrival. But if you go the CR-1/CR-2 route, you avoid having to apply for AOS.

Because they've announced that they will not cover on their international feeds, or on the internet - instead they will show interview-type coverage. NBC has an Olympics Mandarin channel - channel 655 on Dish. But everything is tape delayed for us., so you already know who won.

The SSA policy regarding K-1's http://www.kamya.com/ssn/em00154.pdf Take a copy of this to another office. Someone was told recently that once they were married, they were no longer K-1, and must get their status changed to K-3 and needed an I-130 - of course, not true. But your hang-up may be the USCIS - a) you may have applied too soon (wait at least 10 days after she arrives) or b ) they may give you the run-around again. Bottom line - you have about 75 days after she arrives (and either before or after marriage) to apply for the SS.
