That's completely normal. I had ready to schedule since December 2019 before I got my interview scheduled this month. Some places have a wait of more than 2 years until interview. 

 

Medicals done abroad remain valid as long as you FILED for AOS within 1 year of the medical. So you don't need a new one.

 

We had ours ready to schedule since March until it was finally changed to scheduled in September. Then we had about a month until our appointment last week. I hope you get yours scheduled soon Amber and Shawn.

My husband got his green card in the mail today! Exactly one week after our interview. I am surprised at how quick the process was considering how long it took to get an interview.

Thank you! I have to redo my medical exam that went missing but once that’s out of the way, I’m really hoping I’ll be approved too! 🙂🤞🏽

Really? Did they lose it? We ended up waiting and did the medical exam after we got the interview notice. I was afraid of them losing it or something else. So I felt better handing him the envelope from the doctor.

Yes, unfortunately they did. I waited 6 weeks after the interview for them to find it like the guy said he would try to do and then I got an RFE letter requesting I redo it or send my old results. I spoke to London and that’s not possible so I’m trying to schedule a new one. Just haven’t been able to get hold of anyone so far! 🤷🏽‍♀️
i am glad you were able to do it all without problems. Apparently it is becoming more common that the medical are misfiled or lost but occasionally they do show up. Some people on the forum have had theirs found which is positive! 🙂

Hi! This is so unfortunate, that they lost your medical that is. I hope it gets sorted out soon. 

Do you know if they accept copies of medical? I have everything copied. 

It looks like it is more and more common for them to lose these documents. 

Good luck!

I am not sure honestly. I mean they must do because theres no way you would have the original as it is supposed to be either given to them (usually sent to them or handed in at the port of entry) in a sealed envelope. 
 

I have just managed to book my new medical exam for November 11th, so hopefully I get the results back in time for me to send the response for the RFE. 🤞🏽 
 

Just gotta be patient and hope everything all comes together finally. I’ve known & loved my husband for 7 years so this last hurdle is nothing in the grand scheme of things! 🙂

Wow, I am sorry that happened. So will you have to pay again for this exam? That is so frustrating.

I am not sure since the doctor we went sealed it in an envelope and wrote a signature on the seal as well. But they also gave us a copy of it for our records.

Hi! So I filed to renew my husbands work authorization and it was rejected because I selected C9 as the category and it states that the filing fee is incorrect. Is there a different category I’m supposed to pick if I’m renewing?

Category is correct. Did you send the NOA 1 from the 485 form?

Yep! Paid $450 already in England for the first one and gotta pay again on the 11th for the new one. 😔 but it will be worth it to just get it done! I'm so ready for this to be over with!!🙂
