I was able to finally send my passport to Montreal on Friday through Loomis, but my medical will however expire on June 5th, am I still able to cross the border or will I have to go for another Medical.

I've been told that I can by DOS, and told by Montreal that I have to croos the border by midnight June 5th. it's so hard not knowing what will happen, if anyone has heard of this before or are going through this as well, please get back to me, thanks.

Back when Montreal had said I needed a waiver, I had hired Laurel Scott to file a MTR. Well after the decision had been overturned, Laurel had mentioned to me that *if* my medical was fixin to expire (or had expired) BEFORE my visa was issued, I would need to get another one done. I'm almost positive that you'll have to get a new medical done, really REALLY sucks.

Hopefully someone else can chime in and give you better news.

Seems like you've been waiting forever to join your family in the US.

June 5th? thats tomorrow... The embassy does not work on weekends either. Its likely you will not get your passport by tomorrow with time to cross.

I was only hoping that it would happen, but kinda knew that I would have to have another medical. I'm now in AP, so will have to wait til they are through with that to have another medical and forms to send up to Montreal.

Are you in AP because they need your updated medical?

Or is it for another reason?? Sheesh, when is this nightmare gonna be over for you already?!

Apperntly at the interview last year, the CO wanted me to have an assesment cause from the medical they thought that I had an alchol and drug problem, which has never been the case. I was like any other teenager/young adult and like to party, so tp speak. And the drug issue was before I had back surgery back in 1999, the pain killers that I was on I may have taken them more often the I should've, but I was in alot of painI was asked at the interview if I was ever in rehab for either, and I have never for both cases. So this is what the AP is all about. So frustrating to say the least.

Just an update on our case, it's been one heck of a rollercoaster as tto wether we needed to have a meical or not. DOS said that the Embassy needed one and Dr. Seidin's ofice said that we didn't. so my wife got hold of her senator and they got the same thing that we needed another medical. I tried again to set up the medical, and was told that the Dr's office was going to contct the embassy. We finally got this email yesterday. Hopefully it won't be too much longer now.

Good day,

Thank you for your email. The consular officer is reviewing your file and is in contact with the panel physician. It appears that you will not have to undergo a second medical examination. As soon as the review is complete, we will contact you to inform you of the status of your application.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I hope that this information may be useful.

Sincerely,
