16 days left till my interview!!! :-D

Re: DACA to AOS
 

I did Bios on Friday 2/10. Im just waiting for the interview. I applied in January.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

I did mine on the 2/8 and applied in Jan, too. We are on the same timeline!

Re: DACA to AOS
 

I have my bios scheduled for Feb. 24th.
My question is when will I need to do a Medical Examination?
Is the medical exam cover by insurance? If not how much is it?
Does it have to been done by a special doctor?

Re: DACA to AOS
 

I'm pretty sure you were supposed to submit your USCIS physical with your application.. Most are not covered by insurance but your immunizations might be covered.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

You can submit your medical examination with the initial application. You can also take it to your interview (sealed) if not asked for it before as a RFE. The exam is not covered by insurance but your immunizations may be. Cost depends on doctor, you can find a list of USCIS authorized doctors in the link below. When you go, make sure to take your vaccination record to save yourself from taking unnecessary shots.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Do you guys know the price of the exam?

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Like they've said, depends on the Dr. And it's more expensive now because of new requirements. I spent 180$ with the bare minimum done.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Agreed. It's at least $100. I paid $138 for mine and I'm in California. I actually called about 5-6 doctors offices from the list on the USCIS site to compare prices. Make sure you have all your vaccines, including this years flu shot!! It makes the process easier. Also, I believe you are suppose to submit the sealed medical exam with your application.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

I did my bios on 2-2-17 how much longer after your bios do you get a update?

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Man you guys are lucky. I got screwed for my physical. I spend over $500 for mine.. My Dr was a bit shady and definitely didn't know much about the physical. But I payed $250 for the initial physical then a bunch of BS followed which led to the $500+ spent.. But I DEFINITELY recommend that you take your immunization records to save money. I'm glad I did.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Interview in 2 days. I am extremely nervous idk why

Re: DACA to AOS
 

GUYSSSSS

Our lawyer is about to start preparing our I-130 application!!!!
I've already started the medical exam process. My doctor is waiting for the results of my blood test before he fills out the exam form.

Thank you so much for keeping this thread alive. I so, so, so appreciate everyone who's kept this thread alive with important timelines and information about the process. I read through page after page to learn as much as I can, and hopefully I can help others with my experience, too.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Good luck on your interview! Keep us posted, mine is shortly after yours.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Good luck you two!!! So close!!!!

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Dang. Definitely seems a bit pricey. I think the most I heard it costing was about $250 when I called around :(

At any rate, glad you got it done. It will be all worth it soon!

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Hey you guys! Any one amongst us filing by themselves without a lawyer?

Re: DACA to AOS
 

No lawyer here. My AOS package was received on 1/30/17 with PD 1/19/17. I have my bios on 2/23/17.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Thanks and I will keep everyone posted! I'm self filed and No RFE's, My local USCIS Office is Atlanta GA.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

I also self-filed without a lawyer, no RFEs. See my signature for timeline.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

what field office are you at?

Re: DACA to AOS
 

YES!!!! Thank you guys sooooo much! You fellow dreamers have yet again gave me hope. We just got engaged yesterday, will be getting married on/around our first year anniversary by the end of the month hopefully. Really not able to afford a lawyer at the moment. I'm so glad there are others who have self filed. We will be needing a lot of help. Thank you sooo much for the help guys (in advance ;)) lol

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Congratz!!!! :-)

Re: DACA to AOS
 

I also self-filed, no lawyer already received my Green Card last May. Feel free to ask any questions that you have.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Would you mind sharing what questions they asked you during your interview? What field office? and how long was your interview?

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Are you guys are adjusting status via advance parole or visa overstayed?

Re: DACA to AOS
 

AP here.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

I'm also planing on marrying my us citizen girlfriend but I was deported back because my father committed a crime and deported all of my family but without a judge. We were just sent back to Mexico but i had a B1 Visa. Can I adjust showing my b1?

Re: DACA to AOS
 

it is my understanding that if there is a deportation or removal order on your record, then you can probably do a motion to reopen. My friend did this, and now has a green card. he was also deported. check with an attorney.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Can you please explain me about what your friend did? I came back but i still have the b1 visa with me. I don't know what comes out on their records if i was visa overstayed and cancelled?

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Chicago field office.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

What date is your interview? I am trying to compare the actual processing time vs what is stated in their website. thanks.

Re: DACA to AOS
 

Sure, our field office was the Boston Field Office, interview lasted about 25 minutes in total. They interviewed my US Citizen spouse first then I was asked to join the interview. The interviewer asked me our full names, husband's date of birth, if he has any siblings, asked me if I had ever met his family, when last I entered the US (never traveled out since I was brought here as a child). I was also asked details about our apartment, asked how I met my husband, asked whether my husband has ever met my parents and siblings, I was asked their names, I was asked if we had ever taken any trips together. The interviewer asked us to leave some pictures from our photo album and also provide any documents that shows comingling. We had bills with our names on them as well as insurance documents. We were thankfully approved on the spot.
