On Nov. 24th we were mailed a RFE because they didn't like how our civil surgeon filled out the vaccination supplement. Just in time for everything to be closed for Thanksgiving. We went to the Civil Surgeons office on November 28th and had her fix the problems. We then express mailed the I-693 & a cover letter to the Houston Box number attn: the immigration officer handling our case. We have a signed receipt of Delivery for December 1st but they still have not updated anything on our case. How long should it take? They sure know how to make you sweat it out!

I wouldn't worry but we have a trip booked to go to England in March and I still don't have my greencard. My visa expires in 4 weeks too. :(

We used Dr. Maria Tan in Missouri City. She told us that if we had used her partner they would never have questioned the medical. Not sure if that is true though. She charged us $95 for my medical and $75 for my daughters medical. Hope that helps!

Well it's been two weeks and absolutely nothing. Guess this journey is no where near over. I think 5 years of this has made me a little negative! lol
