Wow. It's been a long time since I posted here. But I have good news. It has been a long journey to get to the point where I am right now. On Sunday it was six years since my wife and I met in person

Just had my medical today in Gothenburg, it went really well and the doctor said I didn't need any vaccinations which is good I was kind of expecting to need at least a couple!

Does anyone know if I get a copy of the medical report after the results of my bloodwork come back? I read somewhere I need a copy to file for AOS in the future and I forgot to ask the doctor during my appointment.

I also got in touch with the embassy about my birth certificate not having my parents DOB and they said it's not a problem :)

Thank you all :-) It's really great to be backed up by the VJ community on this journey.

When will your POE be? Booked a flight yet?

I'm gonna finish up some more work and planning on leaving in August :-) I guess I'm "allowed" to buy tickets now too ;-)

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

No they send it to the embassy. The medical office sent the vaccination papers to my home (or a copy of it of course)

I'm happy to see everyone's progress! Happy times! I just have a quick question about the DS 160, the question "Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services?" Is that a no or yes? Lol! And the question about ever getting a cisa - esta doesn't count as a visa since it's just travel authorization??
