Just wanting to provide an update on our case - Last week I made this post about hubby being asked to mail in his medical and today his status has updated to APPROVED!!

 

It says they are sending an Approval Notice with instructions on what to do next - No idea what that could be.... But we are super excited that this could all finally be over.

Congrats! May I ask where he was asked to mail his medical? Did he mail it to your local USCIS office or the NBC?

 

Ok NVM just read it's basically at the last line of your timeline 😂 sorry I was being lazy and just quickly skimmed over it. So it's all sent directly to LFO. Congrats again!

We sent it directly to the Field Office PO Box in San Antonio. I'm guessing they already have his whole file there because the interview was meant to be on March 23.
