RFE for Medical after Interview was cancelled due to COVID

[sharna413 8]

Hey All,

 

Hubby had his March 23rd AOS interview cancelled due to COVID-19, like many of you. This week we received an RFE asking for us to mail in his medical. We'd previously (Jan 2020) received the pink slip stating the medical was missing from the application and NOT to mail it but to bring it along to the interview. I'd deliberately left it out so as not to risk it expiring so he completed his medical that week so it would be ready for whenever the interview was scheduled. 

 

I've seen a number of people say that their interview has been waived for various reasons - Could this be the case here? I fedEx'd the medical within hours of opening that letter so it should arrive at the San Antonio Field Office today. So nervous/excited/impatient!

 

Love to hear others thoughts and experience. Our LONG visa journey below for reference...
