This one day feels like forever to me :bonk: I hope they'll be opened tomorrow!

So true, so true. I keep checking the payment portal even though I KNOW that it is closed. Forever hopeful! I hope they are back working double time tomorrow - I don't know how long I can wait!

Good morning! Happy new years to everyone. My wife did her medical exam last night--which was the day of 28th in Bangladesh. She had to take one shot and draw one vial of blood to lab works. I had teased her that she'd need to take at least 45 shots. So after the medical, she had a few choice sentences for me that ended with "..., you weirdo." The whole process took about 1.5 hours. We were expecting a day of activities.

Panel physician will send the report to US Embassy in Dhaka directly. They gave my wife a receipt that they said to take with her to the interview. Awesome sauce. This is why the medical had to be done at least 10 days before the interview. For safeness's sake, we had it done 14 days ago. Nothing more to do now than just wait for the interview date which is in 13 days.

Good Morning Folks,

Hope you guys had a nice holiday.

Indigo - Congrats for being done with medical.

Miami_Boy - Wish you for speedy interview date.

786India - Since it's already end of the month I would call them at least every day to check about the interview schedule. To the best of my knowledge they start scheduling interview in the third week of each month until second week of next month.

Keep checking your emails guys, you never know :D

Are you sure? I put in my request on 12/17 to Sup Sue for speedy interview date and haven't heard anything back yet. How do I know if it was considered as an expedite request and it's still pending? I don't wanna mess up with this process now coz I don't want further delays to my interview. Help me !

I am kind of worried about my AOS I-864 package, it was scanned on 16th DEC, because on 16th dec AVR message changed to "NVC is waiting for biographic form from the petitioner" which we have not send yet, we will be sending that next week. Last Thursday I spoke to the operator and she said they have received something via mail and its in a review (I believe that is I864 package because thats the one I sent last).
