congrats and good luck :star:

Thanks everyone, he got his medical arranged today, April 3rd.

Its so exciting.

I had an RFE on our AOS package and I sent it back in, however in the appointment letter it says they never got those papers we sent in (I guess the NVC forwarded the package without those papers?) even though I sent it certified and it was signed for. Has this happened to anyone else? Does he just take them all to the embassy with him?
