Just wanted to share good news---my husband passed his medical, and now we´re just waiting for the interview. It was a long and expensive day (3:00 am - 4:30 pm). We had to travel by car (3 hrs) early in the morning and get to the 1st appointment (physical, vaccinations, general) by 7:00 am. We arrived a full hour early, and the city was sleeping (dark everywhere). Luck for us b/c the streets were tricky, and we got lost a few times :lol: . Then, we had to go to a lab for the blood and urine tests for him. Afterwards, we went to another med office for the chest x-rays. The total cost for everything was about $300. There was a 3-hr wait for the results (ate lunch, walked around a little, and dozed in the truck). Finally, we returned, and the doctor gave us the happy news--passed--and a huge packet (sealed). Now, we are just enjoying our time together and waiting for the interview dates.

That is so wonderful. I just received the I130 approval 30 days after I submitted it and we are not going to wait for the I129 approval. We are waiting on the info from the NVC so he can have his vaccinations and medical exam.

Thanks. Congrats to you, too! I found the Wiki Guides so helpful in preparing all the paperwork and knowing ahead of time the fees for everything--NVC Process, esp. If you haven´t already, check the guides above, and the info will help make the NVC steps easy. You´ll find that they process much faster than INS. All the best to you both---Amor1

ha! Mmartinez you are amor1 I'm tropical from i2us.

Glad to hear the medical went great. $300 whoa, I'm wondering if we can get any of that covered here and they will honor it over there since here insurance covers all that or most of it at least. Best of luck to you.
