Congrats!!!

Thanks! Does anyone here know if my husband still need to re-do his medical? His I-601 just got approved yesterday and we are now waiting for the instruction letter. His last medical was June 2014 before the first interview on his I-130, we are wondering if that medical is good for 6mos or 1yr? I am getting different answer on this question. Any insight will be highly appreciated. Thank you again...

Ana, I read that after June 1, 2014, medical exams became valid for 1-year, instead of 6 months. So, you guys should be fine :)

Yay!!! Now I really believed that everything happens for a reason! He had to do that medical last year 3x, the first 2x were in May because of his blood pressure going up each time he sat to get it done. so he had to see a doctor and get it stabilized before he did the last one June 19. So thank you for the info, it will save us another $250.00.

Does anyone know if my husband can get a visa just to come for my sons surgery while his I601 is still pending????

ummm, he needs a waiver. If he didn't need a waiver, he could enter the US. They aren't going to give him a visa for a visit if he needs a waiver. Did you try asking for an expedite? our expedite took 2 months after it was approved. Then add on time for the USCIS to communicate with the embassy and for the embassy to send the instruction letter. My husband entered the US a month after the waiver approval but we were slowed by Christmas and new years. It would have only been 2 weeks without the holiday.
