That's annoying!  

Yes, but it doesn't hurt much more, just want to find another way to track. I guess I have nothing to do now but waiting until 90 days, then send a request following the instruction. Thank you for your help.

You need to fill in a specific form if it hasn’t arrived after 90 days - https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/ndc

When does NVC send my files to the MTL consulate? In my case, I submitted my documents by mail and my DQ was Feb 2024, PD is Jun 9, 2023 (it became current in Apr 2025 visa bulletin). My case status is still "At NVC".

 

Not until your interview has been scheduled.

I have not received my interview letter yet. My case DQ was in April 2024. Still waiting....

What email domain will the interview letter come from? I just want to make sure it does not end up in my SPAM folder.

@a7medfx It's usually not the whole month. You should get your IL the next batch!

Hello,

For Immunization Records,  where can I find the list of all required vaccines based on the applicant's age? 

Please help. Thanks

I would suggest communicating directly with the panel physician, but here is the list for Dr. Zatzman's office. https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/3de7c467-ff5f-45e7-ab87-bd33a3835520/downloads/IMMFORM4.pdf?ver=1729882816415

We had our interview at the end of January. Since my wife’s medical report wasn’t completed at the time, her visa was initially refused, which is why we were placed on Administrative Processing (AP).

 

Last week, Dr. Zatzman informed us that he submitted the medical clearance on Tuesday, and after that, everything moved quickly. Our visa status changed to "issued" on Thursday, and the passport was delivered on April 7th. We paid the immigrant visa fee the same day and crossed the border via the Rainbow Bridge on April 8th. We returned the same day.

The visa was stamped, and we were told it's valid for one year. We were advised not to stay outside the U.S. for more than a year. We were congratulated, and overall, the process went more smoothly than we expected.

 

Our plan is to relocate to the U.S. permanently in January next year, but we’re not exactly sure how to manage things until then—like how often we should enter the U.S., what steps we should take before relocation, etc. We're open to any suggestions. If there's another forum where this should be posted, please feel free to direct me there—I’m happy to follow up.

Thanks again for all the support during the process! I’m also happy to answer any questions, and by the way, if someone could update the Excel sheet for me, I’d really appreciate it.

Hi, congratulations to both of you!   I updated the excel sheet.

Congratulations! We also had our interview and received the passports back three days after the interview! Very fast! However, cannot land before our house sells… so trying to sell right now!

Thanks, @Aaron_ . We got COVID shots three years ago. Do they ask for a booster shot for the COVID vaccine?

Moreover, what do you consider in selecting Dr.Zatzman? I believe he is charging the most among the 3 fellows.
