I would totally be in for a meetup :)

Agreed. It would be cool to meet after all of us have had our big weddings! It seems like a lot of people live on the east coast. I'm in Chicago, but the east coast is not terribly far....

Coming back to this page after a long time and seeing that almost everyone is done with their interviews and talking about POE and wedding is really nice :D

I have a question:

My fiancee went to her medical appointment today and will pick the result up on Saturday. When she asked the doctor about a copy of her medical result (form DS-3025), no matter how hard she insisted, they refused to give her a copy and said that they will only give one copy for the embassy which would be in the sealed envelope. Maybe I am a little confused, but I have read that in order to avoid going to the medical check again in the US for AOS, we need a copy of that form. If this is true, our only chance is to ask the embassy to give her a copy of the DS-3025 form when they open the envelope, however don't know whether USCIS will accept that copy or it should have an original signature! Do you guys have any opinion or experience in this regard?

I got a photocopy of my medicalresults at the embassy. The doctor mailed me the updated vaccinations card.
