Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	hi ya just thought i would bring to your attention those of you that are doing K1 and K3 for when you do your AOS.. PLEASE when you have your medical done ask for a copy of the whole medical that is handed over at the interview...also when you get in the states put it in a safe place..keep it in your suitcase put it in a folder and remember where you put it..the below person who posted this is lisaf who is an aussie..as you can see things do get lost at USCIS and you will get RFE's even though its not your fault...i know im being a bit overbearing about this but its important because when you change your status you need your vaccination sheet to do so.. you can find the thread to this HERE A review of our record indicates that you entered the US pursuant to a valid K1 nonimmigrant visa. however, the Department of State did not forward the medical forms DS-2053, DS-3024, DS3025 and DS-3026 that were completed prior to visa issuance. Therefore you are requested to submit the aforementioned I-693, etc, etc......" So this translates as they lost my medical and have to get another one. (right?) DAMMIT I just feel that its important that you know this take care kath	Kath	Female	Australia	2007-04-17 15:41:00
