For those of you who just want a quick feedback:
The medical went really well and is absolutely nothing to worry about. Everyone there was really nice and I was in and out in just under an hour and a half. Now for those of you who really want to know what to expect: (I was looking for something like this before my medical, to ease my nerve, but wasn’t able to find anything, so I thought I would post a in-depth review!) I arrived at the doctors office in Frankfurt right at 9 o’clock. When walking in, I told the lady behind the desk (reseptionist?) that I was here for a medical for a US visa. She gave me a little piece of paper with a number on it and told me to go up to the second floor and have a seat, my number will then be called. I went upstairs and there were only two other people sitting in the waiting area. (My number was 5, so I guess I was only the 5th person that day.) I sat there for about 10, maybe 15 minutes when an other lady came out and gave me a form to fill out. She said she would call me in to her room in about 5 minutes, to give me time to fill out everything. The form was asking about my medical history, it consisted of maybe about 50 questions, most of them yes/no. (past hospitalization, illnesses, medication you take,…) Then I was called in the first room, where the same lady that gave me the form was sitting behind a desk. She took my form and also asked for my passport, one passport photo, the 160 euros and my vaccination record. She also wanted to know if I already had a case number. (I do, so she wrote it done.) I was asked about my hight and weight, I guess they take your word for it, but there was a scale and a measuring tape in room, in case you are not sure about it. I handed everything to her and she gave me back a receipt for my payment, my passport, a CD disk and a piece of paper which I was to sign once. Then I was instructed to go all the way down into the basement, where the lab is at, and take a seat in the waiting area down there. I was sitting there for maybe 5 minutes when the “lab-lady” called me into her room. I gave her my passport, the CD and the paper with my one signature. I then was to sign the paper again. (I guess they want to make sure that there is no secret James Bond - switching people action happening somewhere on the two flight of stairs! ) After signing she drew a little blood and handed me a cup with my number on, in which I was to give my urine sample. I went into the bathroom and did my little cup thing, which I then had to bring back into her room and put down on a tray. Once more sitting down for no longer than 5 minutes, I was called to get my x-ray done. I was brought into a little room and told to get completely naked up top. For the x-ray I had to stand in front of the y-ray machine, facing away from it, pressing my chest against a metal piece on the wall. (Man, that thing was cold!) Taking the x-ray was just a matter of taking a deep breath in, holding it for a couple of short seconds and then I was already done. The lab-lady told me to go back into my little dressing room and wait very quick before getting dressed, so she could make sure the x-ray came out good and we don’t have to repeat it. Everything was fine and I could get dressed. By the time I was done she was already waiting for me with my CD, which now had the x-rays on it and my passport. I was interacted to go back all the way upstairs to the second floor and give the CD to the lady that already had taken all my other things in the beginning. (I was down in the lab area for about 30 minutes total.) I did so and then sat down one more time. (Giving me sometime to recover from walking up and down all the stairs. ) 5-10 minutes later the doctor, in my case a woman, called me into the examination room. I had to get undressed only leaving my underwear and socks, while I did so she looked at my x-rays and said that they look very good. She then first asked me about my injury, which I had marked “yes" on the form in the beginning, then told me that I had all my vaccinations needed, so there was no further action necessary. The doctor first listend to my heart beat or breathing, not sure which one. While she did that she notices my tattoo and asked if I had any more or any piercings. She then wrote down where the tattoo was and what it was. (I think they do this for recognition-purposes.) Next I laid down and she poked my lower abdomen, asking if anything hurt. Then she asked me to sit back up so she could take my blood pressure and pulse. My pulse was little fast, but she said that this was totally normal and she knows that I am a little nervous. Last I had to do I quick vision-test. I stood on one end of the room, reading the numbers of the poster that was hanging on the opposite wall. That was already it. I could get dressed and she said to just wait outside for one more minute so she could give me back all my things and make a copy of the DS-3025 (you will need this for your AOS). I didn’t even sit down when the doctor already handed me back my vaccination records, the copy of the form and the CD with my x-rays. I double checked everything and made sure I had my passport. I was back out the door about 10:20. So all in all the medical really didn’t take too long, mostly waiting in between different parts of the procedure. I had a very good experience and there was absolutely nothing to be worried about. All my nervousness and my sleepless night the day before were completly unnecessary! Everybody there was very nice and they understand that you are probably a litte nervous, so don’t worry! My medical was completely in German, but they all spoke Englisch and the form I had to fill out in the beginning was available in Englisch as well. I hope this review helps to take away a some of the fear for you!

Woohoo, finally good news. I went to check my case status on the USCIS website today and it was finally updated: "On May 30, 2018, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number XXX, and will mail it to the address you gave us."
Good luck to everyone that is still waiting! 

I am still waiting on an update/decision from USCIS. They received my response to the RFE on April 3rd, but I haven't heard anything since.
I guess all this stiff with the recalled cards may be part of the reason why it's taking so long to hear back.
The problem is, my GC/GC extension will expire in just over a week (6/6) and therefore my driver's license will also expire on the same day...
Does anyone have experience with this? Were you able to get a new DL without having your new GC yet? 
Also, I would like to go ahead and book tickets to fly home later this summer, but I am not sure if it's a good idea to do that until I have my new GC. 
Any advice would be appreciated!

I will definitely send them the new mortgage and utility bills, as well as updated statements from out joint bank accounts, but other than that I am really not sure what else I could send them. Thank you!

Correct. They are asking for what is needed from a K-1. No new medical was needed if yours was done within a year of filing for AOS. However, they are wanting the vaccinations transcribed by a civil surgeon onto an I-693. Silly to need them transcribed now, but they often ask for redundant stuff during immigration.

Page 1 and page 5.

Only pages 1 and 5. Make sure civil surgeon understands you only need vaccine records updated and wont try to convince you you need to redo the whole thing.

A few countries provide the medical results in a sealed envelope for you to send with your AOS application, so go ahead and send it. I would guess with or without the extra copy of the DS-3025 would be fine either way.

NO you didn't. The size of the box is an indication of the length of an answer they expect....about two sentences.
Many others feel compelled to write a novel...but they don't get any extra credit for it.

If you're not sure about the MMR vaccine (if you need it or not), you can also do a blood test (it's called a titer test). This is what people do if they are not sure if they had the MMR vaccine as a child or not. The blood test can give an indication if you had the vaccine or the disease itself. The same with varicella (chicken pox).

If you have had two doses of MMR then you are good.
I am not 100% how this works for your typ of visa. Are you going to have a medical exam done in your home country before the interview?
If yes, than they will do the test for chicken pox at the medical exam, it shouldn't create any extra costs for you!

That is weird!
Definitely call again and make sure, or just get the shot anyways, just in case. (It shouldn't cost you anything.)
You normally get the MMR vaccination as a child and then you are immune for life
Influenza you need to get during the flu season (October-March) prior to the medical/interview, so if you haven't gotten the shot sometime within the past 4-5 months you will still need to get it for this flu season.
Normally they take your word for it, if you tell them that you have had chicken pox, otherwise they can find out by doing a blood test.

Tdap is tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (it is usually given in a single shot).
You can get the missing shots really any time now. Tdap for example is good for 10 years, before you need another booster.

You will need:
Tdap
MMR
Varicella (if you didn't have chickenpox as a child)
Influenza

The medical went really well and is absolutely nothing to worry about. Everyone there was really nice and I was in and out in just under an hour and a half. Now for those of you who really want to know what to expect: (I was looking for something like this before my medical, to ease my nerve, but wasn’t able to find anything, so I thought I would post a in-depth review!) I arrived at the doctors office in Frankfurt right at 9 o’clock. When walking in, I told the lady behind the desk (reseptionist?) that I was here for a medical for a US visa. She gave me a little piece of paper with a number on it and told me to go up to the second floor and have a seat, my number will then be called. I went upstairs and there were only two other people sitting in the waiting area. (My number was 5, so I guess I was only the 5th person that day.) I sat there for about 10, maybe 15 minutes when an other lady came out and gave me a form to fill out. She said she would call me in to her room in about 5 minutes, to give me time to fill out everything. The form was asking about my medical history, it consisted of maybe about 50 questions, most of them yes/no. (past hospitalization, illnesses, medication you take,…) Then I was called in the first room, where the same lady that gave me the form was sitting behind a desk. She took my form and also asked for my passport, one passport photo, the 160 euros and my vaccination record. She also wanted to know if I already had a case number. (I do, so she wrote it done.) I was asked about my hight and weight, I guess they take your word for it, but there was a scale and a measuring tape in room, in case you are not sure about it. I handed everything to her and she gave me back a receipt for my payment, my passport, a CD disk and a piece of paper which I was to sign once. Then I was instructed to go all the way down into the basement, where the lab is at, and take a seat in the waiting area down there. I was sitting there for maybe 5 minutes when the “lab-lady” called me into her room. I gave her my passport, the CD and the paper with my one signature. I then was to sign the paper again. (I guess they want to make sure that there is no secret James Bond - switching people action happening somewhere on the two flight of stairs! ) After signing she drew a little blood and handed me a cup with my number on, in which I was to give my urine sample. I went into the bathroom and did my little cup thing, which I then had to bring back into her room and put down on a tray. Once more sitting down for no longer than 5 minutes, I was called to get my x-ray done. I was brought into a little room and told to get completely naked up top. For the x-ray I had to stand in front of the y-ray machine, facing away from it, pressing my chest against a metal piece on the wall. (Man, that thing was cold!) Taking the x-ray was just a matter of taking a deep breath in, holding it for a couple of short seconds and then I was already done. The lab-lady told me to go back into my little dressing room and wait very quick before getting dressed, so she could make sure the x-ray came out good and we don’t have to repeat it. Everything was fine and I could get dressed. By the time I was done she was already waiting for me with my CD, which now had the x-rays on it and my passport. I was interacted to go back all the way upstairs to the second floor and give the CD to the lady that already had taken all my other things in the beginning. (I was down in the lab area for about 30 minutes total.) I did so and then sat down one more time. (Giving me sometime to recover from walking up and down all the stairs. ) 5-10 minutes later the doctor, in my case a woman, called me into the examination room. I had to get undressed only leaving my underwear and socks, while I did so she looked at my x-rays and said that they look very good. She then first asked me about my injury, which I had marked “yes" on the form in the beginning, then told me that I had all my vaccinations needed, so there was no further action necessary. The doctor first listend to my heart beat or breathing, not sure which one. While she did that she notices my tattoo and asked if I had any more or any piercings. She then wrote down where the tattoo was and what it was. (I think they do this for recognition-purposes.) Next I laid down and she poked my lower abdomen, asking if anything hurt. Then she asked me to sit back up so she could take my blood pressure and pulse. My pulse was little fast, but she said that this was totally normal and she knows that I am a little nervous. Last I had to do I quick vision-test. I stood on one end of the room, reading the numbers of the poster that was hanging on the opposite wall. That was already it. I could get dressed and she said to just wait outside for one more minute so she could give me back all my things and make a copy of the DS-3025 (you will need this for your AOS). I didn’t even sit down when the doctor already handed me back my vaccination records, the copy of the form and the CD with my x-rays. I double checked everything and made sure I had my passport. I was back out the door about 10:20. So all in all the medical really didn’t take too long, mostly waiting in between different parts of the procedure. I had a very good experience and there was absolutely nothing to be worried about. All my nervousness and my sleepless night the day before were completly unnecessary! Everybody there was very nice and they understand that you are probably a litte nervous, so don’t worry! My medical was completely in German, but they all spoke Englisch and the form I had to fill out in the beginning was available in Englisch as well. I hope this review helps to take away a some of the fear for you!

What? You don't have 90 days to make the decision. The decision is supposed to be made well before they other party ever steps foot on the US on their visa. Despite what this misleading show proclaims for ratings from people who know nothing about it, the 90 days to get get acclimated and make and last minute wedding plans, not to get to know the other person.

The one posted on the London website is also out of date. This is the full immunization discussion from CDC http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/ti/panel/vaccination-panel-technical-instructions.html
If you want to get to the table only, then hit the link called "Table...." or scroll way, way down to the end of the page.

Does anybody know where you can watch the show if not in the US? I went to the TLC website and watched the little clips they have, but I really would like to see some full episodes!

My question is, if it's helpfull to ask for an infopass because of our I-129f case? Right now we have a service request pending, can we still ask although the service request is pending or would it make sense to wait and ask for the infopass after the service request?
The USCIS told us on the phone that TSC has passed our receipt date (NOA1) of august, 12, 2013! They would actually work on august 16,2013 that's why we were getting the service request from them.....
I was reading a lot that they give you the response of this service request with "background checks" and to call back in 6 months, so that's why I'm asking if people have made here good experiences with an INFOPASS and if it's helpfull...
I appreciate your help really so much! Thank you all
