Medical / Physical? I'm a female (I-485) and had a question about the physical. Aside from the x-rays and shots; is the physical extensive and inclue an internal? I may want to spend more time picking my BCIS doctor. Thank you.

Well, I wrote something similar to what is posted above - we'll go to our local office where we filed the I-485 in the morning with the I-131 and see how it goes. It is just going to be difficult to get information from the hospital or doctor faxed internationally. We could FEDEX it in a few...

I know I'm hijacking this thread, btu how did you get approval for Emergency AP - just send in the I-131 requesting Emergency approval ASAP? My wife's grandfather is in serious condition and waiting even a week may be too long...

We found out this morning my wife's grandfather is in serious condition outside the USA. Is there a way to get AP w/o having to wait 60 days? How do you 'provide proof' of the sickness of the relative?

My wife is living in the USA and has applied for permanent residence; we've received notice of receipt for I-485, I-130 and are at the stage where we are ready to get fingerprints and waiting for EAD to arrive. My wife still has a valid tourist visa for the USA. I am a USA citizen. This...

Sorry - was just asking how long the EAD was valid after it was approved. Thanks.

tsc77 - what is the average length of approval for your EAD? 12-18 months?

Got I-485 receipt Well, last Friday I received the A# and I-485 receipt notice for my wife. Also included was a request for the I-797 form (notice of I-130 receipt) and the information to get the Fingerprints. The receipt for I-485 was dated April 5th - I had submitted the I-485 at the...

I am in a similar situation - they received my I-485 on 3/1/04, and have processed my checks - when should I receive an A# ??? My local office shows they are processing I-485 that were received on 12/28/03 - but if they have deposited my checks, shouldn't I get an A# and proof of receipt...

With all of these transfers and delays for processing - when are you all getting your initial receipt notice for your I-485?? This is necessary for other documents and I'm still waiting on just the receipt. Thanks.

My application to Mesquite, TX was returned to me - they kept the I-130. They told me to send it to the SA office. So I sent it in the beginning of March - and your right, the latest update is showing Dec. 05, 2003. They have already cashed my checks of course - but should I receive a...

My local service center (San Antonio) has cashed my I-485 check at the beginning of March, right when they recevied it. But they haven't sent me a received letter. They show they are still processing documents from December. Do I need to wait for this document before I can apply for I-131...

reasons for AP What are you using for reason for Advance Parole? My wife hasn't seen her family in 9 months, and basically would just like to go home for 1 month and again for the Holidays this December. Do I have to state more in my application??

Yes, she's in the US. I've sent all other applications (485, EAD, etc) to local office. Thanks for the info.

I-130 USC. There should be no waiting for an immigrant visa for us once the I-485 package is accepted - from what I learned. I suppose I will have to call and make sure they have me down as a US Citizen.
