The i-94 doesn't show the location. My travel history from CBP shows the arrival location as the airport in my home country.

Interesting. I think it makes sense to put down which US airport you first arrived at via an international flight.
My travel history shows the first arrival port, e.g., LAX, before a transit flight which is a domestic flight.

Did you click on this in the I-94 website?

Mine is like this. So, I should put Orlando in my form.

Yes that's what I meant by "travel history from CBP". But what I want to know is whether the question refers to the port of entry or the physical place of arrival in the US.

Yeah everything I've read is about 50/50 on this, some people say one, some say the other.

For Part 1 item 20 (Place of Last Arrival into the United States) - should it be the place I physically landed in the US, or the place where I went through customs? We have US customs preclearence at the airports in my country, so that is where I got my passport stamped, before I got on the plane.

If you went through pre-clearance, your place of arrival is the city where the pre-clearance happened. It is not the first airport you arrived at in the US in your case. Look at the question within the context of the other questions surrounding it. Questions 15 to 25 (Recent Immigration History) are all tied into trying to determine if you legally entered the country or not. By the way, Question 21 will be the date you went through pre-clearance and not necessarily the date your flight arrived in the US if you had an overnight flight.

And this supports my previous post by the way. Arrival location for pre-clearance is the city where the pre-clearance took place. You were technically admitted to the US when you went through pre-clearance, you were not admitted when your flight landed in the US.

If you look at the context within which that question is being asked, it doesn’t make sense to list a US airport for someone who went through preclearance. Doing so contradicts OP’s immigration information on CBP’s system.

did you do preclearance abroad?
 
Hi mom, for i693, do i have to have all vaccination done listed on the vaccination record? For the TB or quantiferon, i had the quantiferon blood draw last year and my wife had the TB skin test last year as well which both of us are negative for TB, do you think these record should be suffice or i need to redo it? And for other blood test for gonorrhea and syphilis i can get it done at PCP before going to CS so it is more affordable right?

1. Take a look at the “Medical Exam” tab of the AOS process spreadsheet for a list of applicable vaccines.
2. Most likely yes. You can however still take the results along to your medical appointment to see if your CS is willing to consider those (which I doubt).
3. Yes.
**Again, take a look at the Medical Exam tab of the AOS process spreadsheet for further guidance**

Thanks.
 
I'm on a pending family based I-485. I want to submit I-485 for the dv-lottery instead.

Two questions:

- I went to a biometrics appoinment for the family based I-485 in March 2021. Does that mean that I don't have to do it again for the dv-lottery process?

- Does anyone here have any experience/knowledge about I-485 transfer? I read on USCIS website that if you have a pending I-485 and for example get selected in the lottery, you can request a transfer. My only concern is the processing time. Since the lottery only have a few months left I need to make sure a transfer would work smoothly and fairly quick.
For example if you withdraw an application it can take months before USCIS take any actions. I don't want that to happen in this case.

Grateful for any answers!

1. Probably
2. This forum is focused on DV based AOS processing. Like I previously recommended, you should look into talking with an experienced immigration lawyer since you’re seeking more information based on your specific situation.

Side note: multiple AOS applications can exist in the system at the same time without having to withdraw one for the order while they’re both awaiting adjudication.
 
Hi mom, another question for i693, do you think having the blood test that showed immune to HepB could substitute the vaccine? And if not, i can get it at the CS or PCP but it would be showing incomplete series, so still fine when submitting the i693?
