My husband had his waiver interview on 10/24/11, on Thursday 1/12/12 I got a call from our attorney that they recieved the APPROVAL of our I601 (talk about a weight being lifted off of my shoulders.) I got the same notice on Saturday. The notice is dated for 12/28/11 and wasn't mailed until 1/10/12 (I will give USCIS the benefit of the doubt and say it was delayed due to the holiday.)

My questions are:

(a) About how long until we get his passport with the visa?

(b) how long are the medical exams good for? Our atty said that he may have to return to Juarez -READ: we need to spend another $500+ - to get another if the first (from 8/29/11) has expired.

Its seems to be taking at most 2 weeks to get to the DHL location in a different state in Mexico.

There was a couple that recieved there Package within 3 days.

The medical exams are good for only 6 months.

and i do believe if you call the 703 or the 202 number they also can tell you when the medical expires.

After you have your consular interview do they tell you which waiver you need to file then or should I come prepared?? I need help. I know I'm going to need a waiver
