Just a little update on our AP nightmare.... my senator's aide emailed us this pleasant news yesterday.

The administrative processing on Mr. xxxxx's immigrant visa case has been completed. He now needs to update his medical and police reports and mail them our office before we can issue his visa.

Once we receive the required medical and police report, we will process his case to conclusion.

I guess AP is finished, but his medical exam has expired. He's going tomorrow to talk to a Dr.

His passport is at the embassy & he has to present it to the doctor. What to do ? What to do ?

And who knows if they'll have to do more AP after we send that stuff in. Oh, well.... here goes another step.

Is this normal? I have never heard of this before. I mean you've only been in ap for like 6 or 7 months right? I have seen people in it longer than that who never had to redo these things. That's whacked!

Who knows, bridget.... It has been a year all together since his first physical.

It took them 5 months to schedule his interview, and then 7 months of AP = 1 year

His first exam was done Jan 15th of last year, so they just now reached the one year point. I don't know when they become outdated, but my husband is peeved that we have to jump through yet another hoop.

Maybe the difference is that you are DCF??? I just don't know. Sam's physical is a year old and we have not had a request for new physical or police report, also no request as of yet for a movement certificate.

That's a funny pic, ganja.

Yeah. Apparently, JP, they have both expired.

Becky, even though they didn't request a movement certificate (and i don't think my husband needs one anyway cuz i think it's only for people who are exempted from the army) he will request one when he gets his new police report.

That way, if they ask for it, they will get it !!

:lol:

Thanks , water. We are taking it in stride. It's just an inconvenience. It's not difficult. But, still, we have to get his passport from the embassy and redo (and repay for) his exams & x-rays plus the police stuff.

I hope to post some better news soon !!!

OMG :blink: THIS IS JUST CRAZYNESS!!!!THEY TAKE THERE SWEET A$$ TIME AND THEN LET THINGS EXPIRE?

It took them 5 months to schedule Medo's interview, and then close to 1 year of AP :angry:

And now maybe he will have to delay getting this stuff done over..

And they also have his passport.... And then maybe the time to get the MC? :crying::crying::crying::crying:

I can't take this anymore!!!

Cheryl, that is exactly how my husband feels about it. But, if it's not too expensive, you can get Medo to do it again and have it waiting in case they ask for it. But, who knows, because some people don't get asked for it even after a year..... I hope they don't ask you for it. **fingers crossed**

BTW, one of the dr's said he doesn't need the passport if Mina can bring his immunization record with the # on it, so we won't have to wait for that. And, he will go to the exam today at 3pm..... so, I hope we will get it taken care of quickly.
