Haha exactly. I’m like okay...but doesn’t seem like you’re moving any quickly. LOL I have very low expectations from them. 

At least they are moving now lol 

Fingers crossed next week more interviews get scheduled.

Just got back from my medical with Dr. Cheema. I think I saw him for 2-3 minutes total. They took my height and weight and then he rapid fire asked me questions about my medical history, took my temperature, listened to my chest, and looked at my eyes. He asked me 3 times if I had any history of mental health issues but I think that's because my heart was racing due to a stressful drive over haha. Then he left and said that's all they can do due to covid 🤷‍♀️ They take digital photos and send the results directly to the consulate, but you still have to either go pick up the xray cd or have it sent to you. Xray is fast (pay parking behind the building, everything in front is reserved for other businesses), lifelabs is slow (do the save my spot thing, I did it after Dr. Cheema's office and still had an hour wait). Things seem pretty normal otherwise. Started at 7:30 and was done before 11. 

Thanks for sharing this. I guess it is expected given the circumstances (e.g. covid). We will be going to same doctor/location so your report is useful/helpful. How did it go when making your appointment? Did you email + call them, and were you able to secure a date as soon as you got your IL or do they have limited availability? 

Good luck with your upcoming interview, you are one step closer

I started at Dr Cheema at 7:15. Super quick. Pretty much the same review as DGF. Was all done at 10:30. Lifelabs is the longest wait for sure. 
 

edit: emailed consulate about new intended us address change. No response yet.

I emailed them as soon as I got my IL and had the appointment scheduled the next day. They aren't taking appointments next week which is why I did it now, other than that their availability seemed fine. They asked for a few dates that worked for me and then offered a date/time from those.

Thanks for the reply & details. Based on your experience, it seems that they are quite flexible and you can get the exam way ahead of your interview which removes further stress. Good to know.

Hawk I am soooo happy for you.  I know your journey is ending soon.. You've done so much for this group and I know it might be premature to ask... but are you intending to stay with us? (It is 100% ok if you want this all to be behind you)

Good news guys! My social security card just arrived!! With my married name on it!! Whoo hooo  I thought it was gonna take forever  I've been here in the US for 10 days. Really happy to have that in my hands now so I can go get a state ID. So glad I waited and DID NOT mail off my passport with the visa inside to the social security office  (which is what they told me to do on the phone ) since I couldn't get an appointment in the office. I guess checking off the box on the DS-260 saying to send me a card actually worked out!! Very grateful.

The USC Hawk Rider (the one who posts here) is a social worker, and doesn't intend to leave the group in the lurch; the CAN Hawk Rider is likely to continue reading the email notifications and such.

Honestly, we'll be on our bikes (Hawk GTs, if you visit our profile) as much as we can before OR weather gets too grim and less obsessively monitoring the site--but definitely still engaged

Hello,

 

Does anyone know what the correct procedure is for applying for your green card, but wanting your married name on it which doesn't appear on any of my documents, immigrant visa was not in my married name.  Do I have to apply, then apply for a name change and pay for that OR is there a simpler way to apply the first time with marriage certificate document?  Does anyone have the answer to this question?

Hoping for some goooood interview news this week for Jan/Feb DQs! 🤞🏼😊 

 

P.S. You know it’s definitely been a long wait when VJ emails to check in on you (because it’s been 6+ months since there’s been any new activity/movement on your timeline). LOL

 

We’ll get through this! 🙏🏽

I did my Visa application in my married name so I’m not sure 🤔
