Aww how exciting for all the new approvals! My heart is in my mouth waiting for our approval! The 7 before mine and 3 after have all been approved so I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for an approval soon ? I can't wait to be with my fiancé ☺️

Glad we aren't the only ones with all of them around us approved! The anticipation hasn't been killing me until now ?

Hey, guys just a quick reassurance for all the people that are early April and still waiting....it will come soon. All 4 cases after mine were RFEs so I was freaking out ours would be too and just stopped looking at the app. One day after that we got approved!

Does anyone know how long the medical exam is good for? I've heard it expires after 6 months?

Wondering if I can get the medical done about a month before the interview without any issues.

seems like RFEs are entered right away, and approvals at 2230 EDT ?

reasoning: several RFEs for 6/29 already, but no approvals (when using case tracker on their website)

Edited by nygnyy

Went through K-1 (I-129F) AOS (I-485) EAD (I-765) AP (I-131) processes. Thanks to the Visa Journey community for their help and support!

My understanding is that the consulate will tell you what doctor to go to. You never actually see the results it goes strait to them. Of course I'm thinking whatever horrible disease she has I've already brought back so it seems like a waste of time to me. They should have checked me at the airport if they were worried about that. oh.. but that's right you are engaged to a canadian.. ya.. you never know what kind of zombie virus those guys have :)
