Well it took over a week since our interview, but our status just updated to “New Card Is Being Produced”.  Good luck everyone on a speedy interview and approval! 😁

"B" means there isn't time to finish a series and "F" means the influenza vaccine wasn't available at the time. Both are accepted waivers and you should be okay. I'm assuming it wasn't flu season when your medical was done?

 

Thank you. That's correct it wasnt flu season. But my wife got the flu vaccine and MMR once she got here. Wish us luck

Just reporting back because my husband got a job today ❤️ He goes back tomorrow to get his schedule, so looks like he'll be starting this week.

 

He had been looking and applying diligently for the last month or so, and I think it was starting to really get to him that he hadn't gotten an interview or a serious response. Then, randomly we got a call on Sunday about a job, and today they officially hired him.

194 days from receipt date-  case approved! Our interview was in the Los Angeles Field office. It lasted for about 20 minutes, mainly going over the paperwork— specifically our basic information and the I-485 questions. We had our baby with us and arrived 30 mins earlier to take into account security checks. Our IDs and appointment letter were asked for before entering the building and my ID (the applicant) again during checkin at the field office. 

 

The person in charge of our case was really cool— he went through our application quite fast showing his experience. He then requested for any additional documents to show proof of marriage that we collected between the period of submission and the interview. Not any questions on our relationship (on how we met, how we fell in love, etc). Made a correction to our baby’s birth date as well. He approved us on the spot giving me a 10 year card and the status update email from USCIS came in a few hours after. Very lucky indeed as we just had our 2 year anniversary days before the interview making me eligible for the 10 year card. 
 

Tip: Dress nicely, as if going to a job interview. Keep tabs on your folders (I scrambled in pressure) even though I knew everything was in order! Take a second to understand each question. 
 

Wishing everyone the best! 

Hi, we have our interview scheduled for next month and need to know how long the whole interview in the LA office lasted, as our interview is at 8:15 and I have to get to work by 11. Can you let me know how long yours took? Congrats on your approval!

My interview was scheduled at 8:15am as well! We were checked in by 8:20am and waited for about 30min. I remember heading back down to the lobby close to 10am. There’s a parking lot across the street as well for convenience. Hoping you land a great and experienced interviewer as it truly makes a difference in the speed they conduct the review. All the best and thank you!

Status updated to "Interview Was Scheduled" today! won't know the date until I get the snail mail. NYC local office seems to be super slow in general but I'm just glad they didnt forget about me. lol

 

Has anyone managed to get their medical exam expenses covered by the insurance btw? I had to do an exam ($300 in upper east side) and a chest xray ($75 in upper east side, my civil surgeon referred me to a radiologist nearby) but neither of them was sent to the insurance company, so I have to file the claim myself. I know everyone has different insurance plans but just want to know if these immigration procedures can count as "preventative". Also, how much do ppl pay for these exams in other parts of the US?

Great news!

My EaD has finally been approved!

Just got the update today on myUSCIS, the card has been ordered and should be delivered soon.

I had an issue with RFIE (it took me 2 months to get my hands on the documents needed) but finally it feels like the agony will be over soon.

I can't wait to get started working. I've been feeling like a broke teenager for the past 10 months hahahahaha.

Thank you for the extra info and well wishes! I might have to take an extra hour off of work just in case. Goodness, I hate going into downtown LA but hopefully it will be short.
