But the medical its good for up to 2 years!

Medicals done inside the US are good for 2 years. (AOS from other visas).

 

Medical done outside the US are valid "forever" as long as you filed for AOS within 1 year of the foreign medical. (AOS from K1).

 

Remember that this section of the forum is for K1/K2 applicants. There's another section for people adjusting from other visas.

I couldnt remember the length but i knew it was more than one year and I told him the same...multiple times. He said he does think they extended it but he wasnt sure since it was done in a foreign country and he would have to let his supervisor confirm😪 . hopefully they do and I get an update soon

The officer wasn't aware how K1 works. 

 

Foreign medical is valid forever as long as you filed for AOS within 1 year of the date of the medical and your vaccination sheet was completed.

Any October filers still waiting for the interview to be scheduled?

My status is "ready to be scheduled" since January and it's really frustrating ...

Hubby and I are still waiting. It is frustrating but we have been just collecting our documents and cheering on those who have has their interview and have gotten their GC. Our time will come and yours will too. We are just hoping we have a nice CO who is in a good mood. 😁

My wife and I just completed our AOS interview in Jacksonville today. I figured I would share our very positive experience with everyone here. 

 

We were originally scheduled to interview back in March, but that one was cancelled for COVID-19. 

 

Today's interview went great. Our goal was to be over-prepared with documentation, using the last 11 months constructively to build a strong case for my wife's AOS. Our interviewer came to the waiting room and led us back to her office about 25 minutes after our scheduled interview time. We sat down in her office, separated from her by a plexiglass shield, and took an oath to tell the truth. She conversationally asked us some questions about our story as a couple while she took notes of all our responses. Then she asked the list of yes/no questions from memory, which was actually kind of impressive. In spite of all our preparation, the IO didn't really require anything from us, aside from needing some documentation that showed our current address on it (we had moved twice since we submitted our package last October). 

 

From start to finish, the IO was friendly and professional. She identified herself as Officer Davis, and I believe we were incredibly lucky to have her as our IO. My wife was nervous going in to the interview, but Officer Davis put her mind at ease. At the end of the interview, our IO gave us the opportunity to ask her any questions, and then told us that if we wanted to give her anything else we had brought, we could. We gave her a stack of evidence to put in our file, but by that point, she already had enough evidence to make her decision. 

 

She told us we were approved! We watched her stamp our I-485 "APPROVED". Then she said to expect the green card in the mail, and explained the timeline for filing ROC. By the time we got home, the USCIS case tracker had already updated to "New Card Is Being Produced". 🍾
