Hard to tell considering there's 163 left from that day alone that I found and only 3 a day for the last 2 days get approved. I have a feeling there will be a flood though once approvals start coming in.

RFE's are rather quick to pop up from submission date. If you didn't get an RFE within the first 3 weeks I wouldn't worry much since many were found within a week's time

Not to be a downer, but this doesn't seem to be correct by the recent January filers experience.

We've had RFE's for people both within the first 2-3 weeks, and after 6-7 weeks as well unfortunately, and there doesn't seem to be a pattern for the information causing the RFE's at different times.

For example, 6-7 weeks for a IMBRA RFE

5-6 weeks for a photograph discrepancy.

Etc. :(

So it went really quick all they did was:

Ask tons of questions

Have the blood test (K-1)

Test eyes

Look at ears

Look inside mouth

Messuare temperature

Blood pressure

Listen to heart and lungs

Feel the stomach

Height and weight

I thought we needed the flu shot but guess we didn't and all danish vaccines are the same as America so we didn't get any of those either.

We only had to take our shoes and pants of for the weight and then could put them right on again nothing else off.

And that was it. They were very friendly and it was SO quick :)

And then X-ray 2 pictures and that was done :)

Great that it went so well :)

I am heading to mine in couple of hours, I have already done the blood test, x-ray and vaccinations.

Agree on this one. I have seen people waiting 60+ days and then just got a RFE ...

Yeah, day 52 now, disappointed because CSC was moving fast when we first sent in the petition

I know exactly how you feel. For me if I count only the business days (in the US you have to always count business days) from the day I received my text which was February 8th, as of today April 1st its now 40 days.

You know I am a naturalized citizen so I have gone through the immigration process and you would think I would have more patience by now but man.... I had almost forgotten what its like to go through this process except I'm the one on the other side now but its still nerve racking to say the least. I never went through a K-1 process so this is new for me. I will probably be able to handle his adjustment of status process better because I have been through it myself. Still tough because you have no control over the process..yikes!!

You simply change the last 4 or 5 digits of your case number, and you will often find a real case number.

Finished most of my medical, now I only have to wait for the polio vaccine to be available in Iceland (yes, we ran out). So everything should be sorted next week!

The doctor was REALLY nice, I didn't have to get undressed at all, and he told me about everything before he did it so I would feel comfortable and what he was checking and why.

He checked my height and weight, listened to my heart and lungs, took my pulse and blood pressure. Asked me probably around 50, yes or no questions. And then felt my stomach and upper groin area (like just between my hip bones) and I just had to lift up my shirt. He also felt my neck and thyroid. And then he did a quick vision test and looked inside my throat, ear, and nose. I am seriously happy about it all!

So I did the blood works, x-ray, and vaccines on Tuesday and then the medical interview on Friday. And hopefully I will get the last vaccine on Monday/Tuesday. :)

Sounds like everything went great and it was a breeze. What do you mean by medical interview on Friday (typo)? You talking about the consular interview?

No it was the interview with the doctor itself, so the question that he has to ask and the general checkup.
