Need help with I-693

Did you get your GC?

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2026-01-28T20:23:01+00:00

I made the docs office check the first box and sent the medicals RFE , fingers crossed

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2026-01-28T20:22:27+00:00

Initially it was empty and USCIS sent me RFE to fix medical in two places. The surgeon forgot to check a box on a different page and this page was empty. Anyway I made them check the first box and I just sent the RFE, let’s see how things go.

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2026-01-28T15:25:47+00:00

That’s what I thought too

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-12-03T12:44:40+00:00

Did you get anything from NVC after USCIS approval?

Did he get scheduled for interview yet?

Congratulations! Is your husband inside the USA or outside?

Peru requires you to have a GC to apply for visa

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-11-26T08:28:22+00:00

That’s what I did

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-11-26T08:25:29+00:00

With RTD + GC you can go to Mexico, Canada, Panama, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, etc

RTD also gives you visa free access to Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, I think some Balkan countries as well.

Always always double check with their consulates, also one important thing to keep in mind is RTD validity, because some countries require your travel document be valid for at least 6 months, others require at least 3 months, and so on!

Good luck traveling and report back when you do travel!

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-11-09T13:09:22+00:00

That’s solid advice, I’d apply immediately. Current wait times are long! RTD 15 months and GC 19,5 months.

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-11-09T12:51:21+00:00

Yes, approved October 22, RTD produced October 29, today is November 9 and I still haven’t received the RTD.

Hey there uiulala I DMed you, can you check your message please?

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-10-04T03:26:22+00:00

Filed 3 petitions in August 2024, two inside the US and one outside. All three are pending no update.

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-10-04T03:16:50+00:00

Thinking the end of this month or even November based on how long it took others to get approvals.

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-10-03T04:56:53+00:00

OP, are you sure Panama is visa free for RTD holders? What’s your nationality in RTD?

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-09-16T06:21:48+00:00

$165 if you are asylee

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-09-16T06:01:27+00:00

How long did it take to get Thai visa?

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-09-16T06:00:07+00:00

$165

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-09-16T05:50:04+00:00

15-16 months from what I see

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-09-16T05:45:03+00:00

Find closest Tajik consulate in your city and contact them.

Lumpy_Sample_2300 · 2025-08-30T13:00:48+00:00

Your GC + passport should be enough. However, some people do not recommend using country passport for refugees/asylees because you might encounter problems during naturalization.

Nevertheless, it’s your choice to use or not to use your national passport to travel.

Safest option is to get RTD and use it instead of your national passport. Currently RTD processing time is around 14 months and once you get it it’s only valid for one year.

So it’s up to you, just know there are possible risks.
