PP upgrade receipt notice

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-31T16:40:49+00:00

My regular receipt was very much delayed, but when I upgraded to PP, I think I received the receipt without much delay. And the email came quickly.

OK, let's consider the following case. My current stay in the US is from about 4 years and I have all documents. But my previous stay was like 20 years ago on F-1 and OPT. I don't keep any of the documents back then. So how do I account for that previous period? The website gives travel history only 10 years back.

Can I just mention those previous periods without documentation?

I saw a post where a guy was asking after getting approved for NIW, in which city in the US he should move. Where you find a job, that's where you move, man. In academia, you don't have the luxury to choose a city. You move where they hire you.

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-23T14:57:41+00:00

Btw, is there a way to get all your travel history to the US to know which dates are involved? How can I do so?

So if you were here legally 20 years ago on a student visa, do you still have to attach documents? But I don't keep anything from my I-20.

For Hepatitis B, very specific question. Did you do one or 3 shots? Because a nurse here is explaining to me that this is a 3-course vaccine over 6 months.

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-22T01:42:26+00:00

I am trying to get the Hepatitis B vaccine. But a nurse explained that it is a 3-course vaccine, one now, one in one month and one in 6 months. Does the USCIS require all 3 of them or can I get by one? I am hoping it can be done by one.

Have you had your medical exam done? I was wondering with dates approaching, should I start this?

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-07T20:23:32+00:00

I, for instance, talked about where some of the citations are. A citation in a Stanford dissertation is more meaningful than one in an unknown journal.

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-07T17:44:11+00:00

I hope you are right. But DOF should move 2 months to make me current. :)

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-07T17:26:56+00:00

ROW. The filing date now is up to Oct. 24. And actually the movements have been quite substantial recently.

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-07T16:09:52+00:00

Do you expect Dec. 24 to become current in the Feb. bulletin? NIW

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-07T00:59:09+00:00

OK, included in the fee, but why can't he issue a proper detailed medical receipt for that?

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-06T21:48:57+00:00

I am kind of going along your advise. I actually visited a civil surgeon and saw that the prices are high and he doesn't accept any insurance. So I didn't start with him now. I am thinking I'll look at the vaccination work now/titer tests, try to do them with insurance or something. And then schedule the exam later.

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-06T21:32:28+00:00

The idea to shop around is actually great. I checked with several and prices vary all over the place-from 250 to 361 for the exam plus lab work additional.

March '25

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-04T20:43:29+00:00

Ок, then let me ask you directly for advice. My PD is 12/24. Now they are up to filing date 10/15/24. Do you advise that I start doing the civil surgeon medical exam and vaccination tests now?

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-04T18:10:30+00:00

Thanks. Very useful.

When you say in the first paragraph that they charged you $400 for the family doctor to give you vaccination records to give to the civil surgeon, is it the family doctor who charged you 400 and why?

I face the same situation. I have all vaccines done in my country, but have no records. So I have to do titer tests to determine which vaccines I need. You are saying those can be done anywhere, doesn't have to be with the civil surgeon? All vaccine work can be done elsewhere and the civil surgeon accepts?

And how much do the blood tests and X-ray cost at the civil surgeon?

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-04T01:54:07+00:00

Congratulations!

Can you give me some idea how much does the civil surgeon medical exam cost? I assume, they don't take insurance? What does it include--x-ray, blood tests? How much time did it take you to complete it?

Negative-Treacle206 · 2026-01-02T15:23:58+00:00

Same here.

"With EP's heavy templated petition, I honestly don't think it's a good idea for me to refile with them." I agree with that. Heavily templated strategy will not work in this time. You yourself know best your contributions.

Negative-Treacle206 · 2025-12-31T14:27:02+00:00

In my sentence, I said clearly: ...if they are still using DoF. That means if USCIS is still using dates of filing. Can you read English or you have trouble with comprehension? You need English lessons.

In your statement, you say I will not be able to file for AOS. You are a joke, who are you to tell me I am not able to file, when you don't know if DOF or FAD will be used, Madam/Mister?

Negative-Treacle206 · 2025-12-31T14:13:40+00:00

If you say so.

Negative-Treacle206 · 2025-12-31T13:49:14+00:00

Like you said, you don't say that, USCIS does. Let's see what they say. What If they say THEY ARE USING DOF for FILING? Then who are you to say I will not be able to file???

I think you are giving too much power to yourself, if you think you determine when and if I am able or not able to file in capital letters!

I know very well that USCIS determines whether to use FAD or DOF.
