Do you know the consequences if you overstay your visa in the USA? In years past overstaying your visa was relatively overlooked. That is not the case today. Prior to 1996 a person would not face harsh consequences for overstaying their visa. They could be deported and were considered to be without legal status in the USA. In many cases they would leave the United States and reenter at a later time.
In 1996 under the new immigration policy the laws were dramatically changed and overstays were punished more harshly. And overstayed Visa is a person who stayed stay beyond the time authorized when they entered the country or any extensions they received. Some of the consequences of overstaying your visa are:
You may be barred from entering the United States from 3 to 10 years.
Three years for over stating your visa by six months. 10 years if you overstay your visa for a year. If you have overstayed your visa you will also not be allowed to obtain a visa in different countries you must return to the country of your nationality.
The simple way to avoid this problem is to apply for a extension of your visa before it expires. If you file for the extension you will be considered maintaining status and be allowed to stay while they are considering your request even if it passes the expiring date on your I-94 form.

AOS: Vaccination Supplement
When you arrived in the US as K1 Visa, you have to follow what the DS-3025 required you to do and everything will be alright. After the marriage, you should process your adjustment of status as soon as possible. Please apply within one year of the original medical, you need an I-693A. This is USCIS'S VACCINATION SUPPLEMENT.
In most cases though, as long as you follow your DS3025 requirements, your I-693A is easy. But, there are immigration doctors who required you to take all the necessary vaccinations in the 1-693A and doesn't even recognized the DS-3025.
My wife insisted that all she need is the 3 shots needed which was not taken in the Philippines. Some of them just need your money. As long as you know the rules and you follow it carefully, they cannot forced you to take them.
It is up to the immigration whether they accept your papers or not. If you want to be absolutely safe in terms of your medical documentation as a K-1 adjusting status, you should take your DS-3025 to a USCIS-certified civil surgeon and ask them to transfer the information from your DS-3025 to an I-693A.
They should do this for a nominal charge. If they try to convice you to take a full medical examination, DO NOT LISTEN. You ONLY need the vaccination supplement. Read the memo from the USCIS documents that this completed form will remain valid beyond one year when submitted with most Adjustment of Status applications.

Form Of The Cover Letter
When you process an Immigration paper, make sure that you read carefully the instructions given. Pass the correct form and insert the pertinent papers that is needed. Lacking proofs would mean a change of recieving an RFE. Therefore, submission of added papers as proof would make the processing longer. When you submit your documents read the instructions carefully.
Such as:
The Cover Letter
- needs to be clear and concise
Your address
- needs to be the correct one and your present residence
Address of Homeland Security and Address of Service center
- the address of which your papers are assigned into. Look carefully what address should you use for specific papers. The address matters where your location is under too.
Fill up the Immigration Forms that you intend to pass.
Make sure that all supporting documents is inserted too.

Speaking of the interview, it depends on your Fiance(e) if she wanted you to be there with her. If she speaks English well, she might handle it on her own. Of not, you can be there too. It is very important that all the paper work is in order. If you answer yes to the questions and every thing is in order you would not have to be there. Good luck!

Step Three

Fiance Visa K-1 Visa
Today, I will discuss the fiance visa. There is a big chance for you to bring your girlfriend to the U.S. for the purpose of marriage. For this, you will need a fiance visa form I-129F. The paper work must be filed in the Immigration and then sent to the American Embassy in the country your fiance is living in. One of the main reason why the visa is not granted would be incomplete papers. You must follow all the instructions. For example correct address,telephone number, vaccination requirements. If you are going to file a K-1 visa and need help email us at rmsnotaryservice@yahoo.com .
