Do we do another medical when applying for  naturalization/citizenship? Or can we use the same medical we did for the green card?

At N-400 citizenship stage there is NO medical required.

I didn’t have one. I recently got my green card after 2 years since 360 approval 

Right after 3/2020 your interview was waived.

I am oct 2018, still waiting as well. I ve not done any inquiry yet by senator. Did you get any RFE 

I didn't get any RFEs. What about you?

I'd suggest you reach out to your congressman and inquire. It's easy and will give you some updates.

Nice Job , you won on defective NTA ! Take Termination and Run was sound decision …discretion comes and goes real fast . 
Given that you feed in the I-485 you are IN CLEAR waters to TRY option  modified option 2 at no risk and even relax and travel on ur I-131….YOU have a pending I-485 being sent from EOIR to USCIS.

 

Title the Packet “ Supplemental Filing to I-485xxxx and Urgent Request for Humanitarian Discretion “ 

 

Basically get a copy of the I-485 feed in receipt, forms  I-485 ( that was in MTR), copy of I-864W ( if was not in MTR, make a new one , no need to backdate), copy of approved I-360 ,  copy of pending I-765 I-131 , Order to Terminate and  send to Local Field Office Director . 
 

Make an infopass about 2 weeks later and though u are there to make the case for an I-131 expedite, you now have contact w human who CAN see where ur I-485 file is, can request the file ( or plead ur case to a supervisor)…AND carry a copy of what you mailed to Director . Express your fear of problems at Re entry AND see if it works to speed up the I-485.

 

You did a Bang Up Job !!!!!! Hope you also keep sharing your experience/ knowledge w those in removal and VAWA 

 

 

I’m planning to mail the packet today but I have a couple of questions. I received a copy of the I-485 that was in the mtr from my attorney’s secretary. She indicated I-864W is not required since the i-485 is based on an approved I-360. Is that correct? Also when I’m sending this to the local field office director do I need to address to the director by name or will something general like "Attn: Field office director". Probably not a big deal but I’ve had so many letters/ar-11s that seemed to go nowhere when mailed to VSC so I want to be sure.

1. Yes I-864 W is required ( u are not subject to I-864)

2. Use name

You need to file the form to recant your lawyer.  If refile EAD, it maybe rejected or accepted that is the chance you are taking.  However, if you are refiling EAD because you believe it will change your address, it is not going to work.

You are a green card holder that has divorced the person they obtained their green through (including VAWA).  By law, if you divorce and marry someone else, you cannot file for them until you have been married 5 years as a Green Card Holder.  It is 3 years if you become a US Citizen.  

I was married to a US Citizen, so my ex wife was born and raise here in the US. So if my ex wife is a US Citizen and I will get married this year to non citizen and not green card holder I can petition her?

You could bring an amended G-28 to the interview asking to send the CG to the lawyer's office, as well as a letter stating that your new address is your new safe mailing address. They should be able to roll that into your case.
