Couldn't believe it! We found the envelope in the mail this evening and thought for sure it would be the Welcome to America letter ... but instead, there it was: the Green/white Card! No errors, no sex change operation that we weren't aware of ... The only weird thing is that the "Resident since" date on the card is 02/14 and we just got approved (w/out an interview) on 02/21, according to the online status ... but hey, who cares? :dancing:

Heartfelt thanks to everyone on VJ who made our own journey possible and, looking back from this point, a reasonably smooth one as well! :thumbs:

Now on to celebrating (round 2) and lifting conditions later on!

Best of luck to everyone!

We had already sent in the vaccination supplement (I-693A) with our initial AOS paperwork.

The RFE specifically asked for the complete medical exam, even though the one I had done in Romania for the K-1 interview was less than 1 year old (Aug. 2005) :blink: ... Most probably, they lost the paperwork so they took the easy way out and sent us a RFE for a whole new one, despite what their own regulations say as regards this whole issue.

At first we wanted to fight it, shoving their own law under their noses ... but then decided it wasn't really worth the trouble ... and why risk a denial? So we ended up having the whole medical again and from this standpoint, we sure don't regret having done it. :thumbs:
