Hey, everyone! I want to congratulate everyone who got approvals, interview dates, and cc. It has been a wonderful month :)

Also, I got a question about paying for the green card.

Must I pay it before POE?

Does it matter if I pay it only a day before POE or the earlier the better??

I got an email today, interview scheduled for July 27th (my CC was May 26th)! I don't know if my expedite request helped (sent one late last week, but didn't have documents to support it yet) but I am so relieved.

I hope everyone waiting gets their date scheduled soon too! It seems like we didn't have to wait until the end of the month after all. Thanks to everyone for their support so far.

The Senator that´s been helping us lately did an expedite request on our behalf last week and I got the letter too about an interview July 19th. Dont know if it´s thanks to the expedite request but at least we got our interview dates :) . Congratulations!! :D

Here's what the instructions I've got from the Embassy say:

"We strongly suggest you pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee before you depart for the United States. However, you can pay the fee after you arrive in the United States if necessary."

I have already paid it to have it out of the way ☺

Guys I am freaking out. The doctor is not keen to pass us on the medical. My 10 yo has dyslexia. Doctor asked for his papers and I sent them. He didn't them because it uses the blanket term "learning difficulties" so my son would receive more help.

So we haven't passed the medical yet and our interview is less than 24 hrs away.

I am freaking out! :(

Ps. My son is a normal kid. If I hadn't offered the info the doc wouldn't even know. He has a very very high IQ he just has some trouble writing (he can type fine and with auto correct is an ace in homework)

Hi,

I don't believe you should worry too much. The medical looks for communicable diseases and things of that sort which requires medical treatment if you are admitted to the USA.

There's no known way to correct the brain abnormality that causes dyslexia as this is a lifelong problem. Dyslexia is treated using specific educational approaches and techniques.

You can try working with him to aid in his learning...don't rely on this being an issue bcuz you know your son's ability to be a great and smart young man. He doesn't need medication...he needs a reading buddy :)
