Anyway as I was saying in the previous thread. lol @Marzena & Stephen let me know how the medical goes tomorrow as I will be in Montreal Tuesday for mine next week.

 

Medical went good!

Took just over 2 hours

Filled in two forms when i got there

Did an xray from the back and side-had to do it twice and when i breathed in and out my shoulders moved up which blocks some things they want to see.

No biggie

They tell you not to go to the washroom because you have to do a urine test but it took forever so i went and than drank lots of water after.. thing is you cant go for an hour otherwise the urine wont work. So i waited one hour after the last pee break to pee in the cup. Thankfully i didnt see a nurse first. 

After your xray you get your top back on and sit in the waiting area again.

Get called in the docs office. 

The doctor who sees you is the sweetest man ever! 

He asks you a bunch of sumiliar questions to the 1st 2 forms you filled out.

He makes you undress into a gown and he checks the movement if your legs arms etc he looks at your ears eyes mouth and throat. He didnt look "down there" he only pressed on the sides of just below your tummy...that sort of thing.

Back to the waiting room...

The nurse calls you.

If you have all your vaccinations you just get your height and eyes checked and a tube of blood.

Back to the waiting room and about 25 min later or so you get called up to pay get a receipt and off you go. Pickup your results 3 days later but call first to make sure they are ready.. ...just writing with my phone quickly sorry for typos/grammar

Almost 3 weeks since a March has been approved?

You guys! We got approved today! YAY! It was a crazy last week - our Oct 9 appointment was cancelled and moved to Nov 3 because the embassy needed a "administrative day".  This would have been a nightmare because our wedding date is Oct 21 - already have people flying from all around the world. Thankfully, I had the Senator involved since I got our RFE. His office called and before we knew it, we were on our way to Ciudad Juarez this past monday! I can't tell you how amazing this group has been <3. Thanks for the support.

El Paso to CT    What a drive!  Envious, I bet you will have a great time catching up and then there is so much 'americana' to see and experience - from desert, to plains, to mountains.......

 

Enjoy!

hmmmmm  Odd number for March 13

 

Mine was mailed 13th, rcvd 16th and wac179025....

 

I think wac179024 would be february kinda number.....     Is that from the tracker app?

Hello Marchers,

 

Just posting a lil update: we got instructions from the US Embassy in Sweden and the tracker is in the much sought after, "Ready" mode  !!  Just yesterday I called and they said it was in "Administrative Processing" so this was super fast and unexpected.  Not sure when it had time to leave the NVC, even!

 

We were projecting that best case scenario, we'd maybe get the instructions Friday, so needless to say this is a lovely surprise!

 

Fiance has scheduled a doctor appointment and is trying to get his military records and birth certificate in English (anyone have experience with this?).  Hopefully it's not too hard or time-consuming.  We're submitting the DS-160 this weekend and scheduling the interview!  I heard that for Sweden they only do K-1s on Thursdays, so it might be tough to get one soon.

 

Anyway, super excited about this!  This is an immigration pace I can get behind hehe, hurray for State Department!

 

Hope y'all are doing great!

 

If anyone is still waiting on your NOA2, take heart in knowing that once you get your approval, things will go really fast apparently.

Right, an iron! Another thing that Eric doesn't have and I might need I wonder if all guys are the same

I have an iron! I enjoy going to different events that require formal clothing, so it's a must have!
I also have a flat iron for hair. Don't laugh! It was recommended to me by the lady that has cut my hair for about 15 years now. My ex fiancee had never used one before until I visited her this past February, and she fell in love. But alas, it was not enough to keep us together!

There are still so many March Filers still holding their bag waiting for NOA2....  Some I know of are @PRC Rabbit, @AJay00md, @Bananah, @Lsthorpe1, @PB&FM, @FutureMrsBennett, probably more but I'm just not thinking of them right now.....

 

Something has to break, we haven't had a March approval in how long?  Probably @LabOz knows when the last one was, but it is so overdue.....

Unfortunately, I haven't even received a RFE no response at all.
