Ahh, it took us longer than I thought to submit our paperwork. We had trouble finding a doctor that would be willing to just do his vaccinations, even though he had the physical done for his K1 visa earlier this year. But, we finally mailed everything out on Tuesday. I can see that it was signed for at 11:00 am yesterday morning. Now I can finally start waiting with the rest of you!

Depends. If the ds3025 was marked as complete and the medical itself didn't need any follow up, there was no need to. But if the ds3025 was not marked or was incomplete, also if there was something mentioned on the medical to follow up in the USA, yes, they'd need another one

Oh, I see. That makes sense. Mine was marked as Complete. Thank God.

*sigh*

Still waiting on my Biometrics letter. It's nice to see some people are getting their letters quickly. Does the 90 days start from the NOA1 letter

or from the day Biometrics is completed. I know there is some variance, but it would be nice to give my new wife a better answer..... :hehe:

Oh well, the waiting continues, best of luck to all.

No, we refused to do another medical. We did need a dr. To fill out the vaccination page because that was not done with the visa. Most doctors we talked to would only do the whole physical again and of course charge us megabucks. Finally we found someone to transcribe his mexican vaccinations and sign it for $30.

Someone else from Peru :)

Apparently the 90 days starts from the day they receive the package, not the NOA1 and certainly not the biometrics. So normally you're not losing any time. Seems like you should get your notice soon though.

If, 75 days after they received your AOS/EAD/AP, you have not been approved for your EAD, you can make a service request asking them to adjudicate your EAD. It tends to get things moving a bit and ensures you don't go past the 90 day processing timeframe.
