Can anyone tell me do I need to get a new medical test ? I did my medical test on March,2018. Now it is over a year now. 

 

Before I asked people here and Lizz told me I don’t need a new one. But couple days ago I saw someone needed to do a new medical test. I am confused. 

 

Does anyone know ? Thanks 

I think nobody can tell you what they really want, it depends to the officer, I had my medical test in January 2018 and my interview was this year on March, I wasn't required another medical test. Your medical test supposes to be good for one year and if you file within that year you shouldn't have any issues. I guess there are some officers just trying to make things harder. You just need to give them whatever they want.

@Tomalley The above is the advice you should follow.

 

You shouldn't have any issues. If your officer is new or doesn't understand the instructions, you may have issues, because they ultimately have the power to decide if they want you to do another one or not. But according to the official guidelines you're good if you just file within a year from the medical.

Hi guys, I figured I could start this thread for May 2018 AOS filers in case no one has started one already. 

I filed for my two children , 11 and 9. They followed-to-join with K2 visas. 

Whats your case? 

Good luck to all us and let’s believe. It’s possible.

Received an email notification yesterday that my case status has changed to "Interview was scheduled". My field office is San Francisco.

 

I suppose I should be happy but I'm also a bit bummed out. I have tickets to fly back home to Malaysia (summer holidays!) next month and I think the interview date will clash with the dates of my vacation  :( :( :(

So my green card was approved may 29 and I never received it. The post office pretty much admitted also that it was misdelivered since the regular carrier wasn’t working on the day it said it was delivered. I was pretty bummed to say the least that I have to pay over $500 and wait over 6 months to get a new one. I decided to file the replacement under “issued but never received” where the fee is waived. I know you can only file under it when the card has been returned to USCIS as undeliverable but i still went with it.I got my new biometrics appointment couple of days later and went to get a i-551 stamp to my passport. Luckily they didn’t ask any questions about my replacement being filed under this category and I got my stamp for a year and can travel now. Most likely they will still deny

my application in the end, but atleast I won myself some time 🙄

You have to pay 500$ for a new green card? That is so much..

Had our interview at Sacramento office yesterday. Our official result when we left was "case needs to be reviewed".  After about 15 hours, our case status changed early morning today to "card in production".  Phew!

 

Hopefully that means I will have my 10-year green card in hand in about a week from now.
