Just checked, and yes, it's updated. It says "Fingerprint Review Was Completed"

Does yours not say that yet? When did you get biometrics? I wouldn't worry if I was you...

Hey, everyone. We're filling early in December, but I've been reading everything here just to be prepared. I have a question regarding the medical. I got mine done in September, but we're only flying to the States next week. So, when I went to get it done they couldn't give me the flu shot (because they only do November - April) and the varicella vaccine (reason on my medical is - it does not get imported in my country). We just don't use it. Can that be a problem when they ask for my medical in the USA and when do I have to present it - at the interview?

 

P.S On my medical it says completed and on the interview here in Sofia, Bulgaria everything was fine, but If I do have to get those shots done - should I do it if I get a notice in the mail, or should I do it before filing for the AOS?

If you have not taken all the required vaccines you will have to do that before  your AOS interview.

Not AOS related exactly, but I'm happy to report that I successfully got a driver's license today!

It's valid for a year, in my maiden name.

 

The DMV accepted my legal presence with the I-485 NOA1, marriage certificate (to support the name change on the NOA1), and my passport with my K1 visa plus an EXPIRED I-94!

I also showed them our lease agreement with both our names and the most recent rent bill (with my name and address on it)

 

Also, they gave me my Canadian license back (weird?) so next I will call the DMV in Quebec to cancel it (once actual card for VA license arrives). I do have the paper driving permit in the meantime.

 

I'm still shook that I was able to get my license! SUCH A RELIEF

 

Moral of this long post, if you haven't tried to get a license yet - try it! You never know

Same with us, each state and for that matter each DMV clerk interprets differently!

West Palm Beach take between 7.5-23 months 😭 way toooooooooooo long

I do not think you know the meaning of the word "way toooo long". For example, you should look at the field office in Seattle, where an interview for adjustment of status is taking more than a year, close to a year and a half.

My field office 12 to 22.5 months that's  Dallas, Texas!!!!

Got my biometrics done today. I was a moron and forgot to bring the marriage certificate so I had to go back home and get it, other than that it went smoothly and the status on the website updated after a couple of hours. 👌

So, what I'm going to do is send a copy of my medical with the AOS package and if they need me to get anything done, they will request an I-693 form prior to my interview, right?

In theory yes!
