Since ready for interview? That sucks so much. Soon it's a year for all of us since we applied. Never thought that would happen with my LFO.

I have days were I totally forget about it and then it suddenly hits me again and I'm like: oh yea, sucks.

I can’t get informed delivery here so I am going to be checking my mailbox like an excited hawk! 😂 😍😍😍

Hopefully before delivery USCIS somehow shows you the tracking number:

With the tracking number, you can "track package" https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_input

312 days here. Ugh. 
I’ve been absent. Has anyone been getting approvals without an interview?

I don’t see anything about a tracking number but I’ll definitely keep an eye out. Thank you! 🙂😀

i believe it gets updated when USPS picks up your package. Again we are in 2020, anything can happen.

Nah that's not a thing anymore 

[Meg101 316]

Update: status changed to ’card was picked up by the united states postal service’ and it lists the tracking number to use! 🙂🌈

Well, darn. Lol

I have questions. I think some of it I asked before but forgot about it.

 

1. Did anyone here receive the stimulus check 2x ($2400) for married filing jointly? 
 

2. Will we get that additional $1200 when we file for the next tax season?

 

3. To those who had their interviews done, did you get another medical exam thus a new one?

 

congratulations to you and for us waiting for the schedule hope it will be soon!

If you only got $1200 (i.e. $1200 for US citizen + $0 for K-1 AOS applicant) then in upcoming tax season you should get $1200 for K-1 AOS applicant + $0 for US citizen. See #30 on Page 2: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f1040--dft.pdf "Recovery rebate credit."

 

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/i1040gi--dft.pdf Page 56

Quote

You may be able to take this credit only if:

• You didn’t receive an economic impact payment, or
• Your economic impact payment was less than $1,200 ($2,400 if married filing jointly for 2019 or 2018) plus $500 for each qualifying child you had in 2020.

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-b-chapter-3

K or V Nonimmigrants Applying for Adjustment ^[26]

K and V nonimmigrants applying for adjustment of status are not required to repeat the medical examination if the application was filed within one year of the date of the original medical examination, and:

• The medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition; or 

• The applicant received a conditional waiver in conjunction with the K or V nonimmigrant visa or the change of status to V and the applicant submits evidence of compliance with the waiver terms and conditions. ^[27] 

If a new medical examination is required and reveals a Class A medical condition, a new waiver application will also be required. In such cases, the officer should determine whether the applicant complied with the terms and conditions of the first waiver, if applicable. Such determination should be given considerable weight in the adjudication of a subsequent waiver application. ^[28] 

Even if a new medical examination is not required, applicants must still comply with the vaccination requirements if the vaccination record was not included as part of the original medical examination report. If the vaccination report was properly completed at the time of the overseas examination, the officer may accept the vaccination assessment completed by the panel physician. 

An applicant’s overseas medical examination report completed by a panel physician should already be in the applicant’s A-file. If it is not in the A-file, the officer should request the medical examination report through a Request for Evidence (RFE).
