How to obtain a new medical exam

[Muhammad n Maryam 1]

Hello everyone !!

I often wondered if my day would ever come in me saying this, as I've read so many other people's post and thought to myself how excited they must feel. And what would I say if I was in their place ! Well ... I must say I'm totally at lost for words ! ( As if it doesn't show)

Anyhow here goes ...

While at work lastnite (I work the nite shift) I got a text message from my husband that he had good news ! The embassy had called him saying his visa is ready !! But ... He needs a new medical, police clearance and DS-230 form. As he had his interview a year ago in Jan. so they have expired. No problem ! we will get them ! But ... When he called to see about getting his medical he was told he'll need a copy of his passport ! Well ... Problem is he can't! cuz the embassy kept his passport ! I'm sure there must be other people that have gone though the same-thing. So ... For those that have , what did you do ?? I've already e mailed the embassy telling them that he needs a copy of his passport (which I'm sure they must know this) !

Oh... And another thing which I've noticed, I looked back at our DS-230 , on the top right corner, it say's that it expires 5/31/11. So why are they asking for a new one, could it be maybe they feel the visa won't be issued until after that date ? I would really appreciated anyone's advice or experience. I'm so scared !!

Anyhow guys ... I pray to Allah GOD give us all the strength and Patience for this journey !!

If I seem like I was rumbling, sorry you felt that !

I looked back at our DS-230 , on the top right corner, it say's that it expires 5/31/11.

The FORM expires then. The information is a year old. They want updated information.

Did you read my question ?

I agree with Inky - you asked "Oh... And another thing which I've noticed, I looked back at our DS-230 , on the top right corner, it say's that it expires 5/31/11. So why are they asking for a new one, could it be maybe they feel the visa won't be issued until after that date ? I would really appreciated anyone's advice or experience. I'm so scared !!"

Inky's answer to your "So why are they asking for a new one" is totally spot on, that's the reason the consulate is asking for another DS-230.

Congratulations I'm so happy for you. Finally your AP is over. Don't be afraid just use courage and determination to get a copy of his passport so he can take his medical.

Of course I did, did you READ my answer?

The information that was filled out on the form is 1 year old information. They want updated information on the form. Things change in a year they want the new stuff not the old stuff on the forms.

He had his interview in January over a year ago when he signed the DS-230. A full year has gone by and they want current information and a fresh signature.

I sent you a PM Maryam... you can also contact me at carolynhotstuff@yahoo.com

It has now gotten though my hard Irish head !!

I was concentrating on the date , on the DS form rather than when it was submitted

Sorry, It took me sum time. But ... I now get what your saying. I was stuck on when the form expires.
