BTW no single document was asked from me. I had 2 folders for original document, and 1 folder for copies. The few questions the officer asked us was how long we have been married, where did we meet, and if my step daughter was living with us. We spent about 10 - 15 minutes at his office. He gave us a copy of the instructions on how to remove conditions prior 90 days to the expiry of 2 year conditional permanent resident card. He also said the card should be in the mail within 2 week. Glory be to God

Hello everyone, i got my interview next month (ATL) and my I693 was expired on the 08/03/2018. Should I have another medical exam (I693) and carry it with me at the interview day?
Please I need your help!

Please I need your help!

Your I-693 did not expire on 08-23-2018. It actually expired one year after USCIS received it. Keep in mind, priority date and "received date" are not the same. My priority date is 03-16-18 and received date is 03-27-18.

So assuming the same 7 business days between PD and received date. I am going to guesstimate your received date is 08-30-17. You can check that on your I-130's received date. I should show on the egov account.

So my best guesstimate is that it actually expires on 08-30-18. Since your interview is scheduled after that date, your I-693 will not be valid on the date the ISO opens it. I don't see a work around here. I did not find one when I looked online. I would just go to the same doctor, use your insurance and ask them to bill you for a yearly physical. It should be covered.

Now if on the date of the interview you are close to your 2nd year marriage anniversary - within 90 days of your 2nd year anniversary. I would just go to the Interview, and just let the ISO realize that the I-693 is expired. They will issue a RFE and you will have 90 days to respond to it. I would bring it to the field office and deposit it in the drop box on the date of your 2nd year anniversary. That way you can secure your 10 year card - if the case is adjudicated in your favor. Most applications are approved.

Interview scheduled for 10 AUG . Received interview letter a month and one week before scheduled interview date.

INTERVIEW.


Arrived 30 min before.
Got called in right on my time.

Sworn in and seated. Got right into the business was stern and smiled but not really nice IMHO. Like typical american smile when its not really meant all you foreigners know what I mean. Like the smile you get in the restaurant to get a high tip out of you. But thats fine moving on .

First went over the first few sites of the application packages. Confirming all kinds of information asking about current jobs and asking a few dates so make sure you know all those things.

Then went to the relationship part.

1. Where did you meet
2. What did you guys talk about and who was there. Who introduced( asked for the name)
3. When did you guys meet next time
4. When did you move in together.
5 When did you enter in the relationship
6.When and who asked for marriage.
7. What kind of relationship do you have.
8. What do you like about each other

There were a couple other ones along those lines . It can all be found in numerous threads here. It felt quite intense.

Then after no news no anything just said needs further time to review no paper or anything, man I tell you what we left and we were so devastated. Sad and felt frustrated and clueless. IO said might take a few months review ... LOL ok

THEN. A little wait time.

APROX a few days after the interview received random approval notice for I-130. A week later received the approval notice for that.

Then only a few days ago on 08/22/2018. Get a text message with card in production and it was an amazing thing I was so happy. Then today I received WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LETTER. It felt special and first time USCIS saying something nice and emotional.



"It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to permanent resident status in the united states, you will soon receive your new Permanent Resident Card "





GUYS IT IS A HARD AND TOUGH WAIT AND I WAS SO DOWN AFTER THE INTERVIEW BUT HANG IN THERE EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO WAIT SO MUCH LONGER THAT MOMENT YOU HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND ITS ALL WORTH IT.
