Ok, so I'm in the train back home from my medical. Nothing much to tell really. It took me a bit over two hours, but that was mostly waiting and some walking because you have to go to a clinic that is 1.7kms away for the x rays.

 

It seems to me the medical is a bit of a joke, sorry. The doctor made me questions to fill the standard form that were mostly just to say no: drugs, tobacco, alcohol, mental diseases, suicidal tendencies...

Then he barely checked my breathing and throat and stomach... And blood pressure that was a bit high. I didn't even have to take off any clothes, except for the shoes for measuring height and weight.

 

The nurse just drew my blood and copied my vaccines into the official form. I was fine on everything, but they charged me an extra of 35€ to prove I had varicella when I was a kid. So if you can manage to have your doctor making a report saying you already had varicella, then do that, because a scar didn't suffice on my case.

Then x rays and that's it. Well, it's done.

Hi Guys,

 

144 days today and still no NOA-2/Update.

Nothing to show in today's Informed Delivery also :(.

In just over a week's time we'll be hitting the 5 month mark. :(

Is it becoming the expected 5 month mark for approvals now?

 

Hoping and wishing for tomorrow's mail...

Well done to all those moving along in the process, exciting to see you all progress. :)

Hopefully better news to come soon.

Hello all, I posted back in April that I applied on April 24th, noa1 was received I believe on the 2nd of May. 

 

My application is out of the California service center, I guess I'm wondering if anyone else is waiting this long and heard nothing. It's been over 120 days. 

 

Hey !! I'm currently at 142 days.:clock:

Well just talked to Tier 2, we got an RFE on September 1st supposedly. I haven't received anything yet at all, the tracker has never updated for the case either. Going to try to find out what is going on as well as call my lawyer in a bit. I am wondering what on earth we could have possibly missed.

Dont dispair too much, I know its hard, but I was approved September 1st as well and we didnt received any kind of notification until September 8th. It has been said that RFE take a while to be sent out!

 

Im sorry about this, I just want to let you know! Keep it up I hope is an easy fix :unsure:

What that means is that on 9/1 you are scheduled to get it, but it has not been done yet.  It hopefully will be sent out by the 15th, at which time the tracker will update.  

 

Do you have any idea what it could be?  My suggestion would be to go over your packet to see if you can figure it out.

Lawyer did the packet, If I had to bet it is probably scans of her Passport pages. She had an F1 visa for Findlay University that was valid until 2020, but she graduated in December and got an OPT card, she had to go home before she got a job so she lost the OPT card. I am betting that issue is the meeting documents side.

Sorry you are getting the RFE, I know it is a pain, from experience of course.  We have now been approved and the NOA2 is coming today.  Keep your chin up and it will come soon.

Thanks Keith. The frustrating part for me is that if I hadn't gotten to Tier 2 I would have been a mushroom still. At least this way I know they touched the paperwork which makes me feel better. We can deal with any paperwork issues easily enough.

In just over a week's time we'll be hitting the 5 month mark. :(

Is it becoming the expected 5 month mark for approvals now?
