hi mate, remember you from the london forum. have a look at my timeline, it took a good three weeks to get through from sending it to check being cashed..
Don't worry, i am sure you will be ok.

edit: just read the whole forum and saw that you have had your check cashed, hope the rest of the journey is smooth..

my EAD/AP got approved today.. got the message/email - really pleased it happened so quickly.. i hope others experience the same quick processing..

usually get something between 3-5 days after check cashed (in the mail)

fantastic news.. hope your journey is short and painless! i am still waiting on them to cash check, filed at the end of july

I'm arriving on the 16th June and we are getting married on the 30th. Just a small wedding at her house in front of parents and siblings. The big celebration will happen on our first anniversary when the AOS Process is over.

My understanding is if you have an interview the medical is clear. Otherwise Knightsbridge would have called back. Proceed as normal.

its straightforward, don't worry. I had mine last thursday, and it was ok.
Went in for the Chest X-ray first. If you wear any neck jewellery you will have to remove it - so if it is difficult to remove quickly, best to leave it at home! It only took 30 seconds for the X-ray, breathe in - breathe out - get dressed.
back in the waiting room, and then i went to see the nurse. Needed two jabs, MMR booster and Tdap / dtap (can't remember which way around it is!). All done very quickly. she will mark your vaccination form (ds3025 / 1-693) as incomplete, but don't worry - that is for everyone (because tetanus needs to be done every ten years). She was sound, and it was really quick too. Will ask about chicken pox and maybe allergies too.
Back to waiting room again, then into see the doctor.
the doctor went through the questionaire they give you to fill in when you arrive. straightforward enough. then a height and weight thing, and then the eye test. If you wear glasses bring them along! Then, sit on the bed, doctors does a blood test and takes your blood pressure. Checks your chest and back with stethoscope, and then pants down - checks your privates, hernia and presses your stomach. Finally, gets you to sign the picture you provided and you are done.
You leave the room and pretty much go straight to reception desk to pay, and you are out. They will tell you when your results should be passed to embassy, and that if you do not hear from them then everything is good (usually within 3-4 working days).
very professional staff, and friendly too. fee was high, but it is the same for everyone.
good luck, and i hope this review helped!
