According to other VJ members, the medical examination is now good for 2 years from the date your civil surgeon signed the form:

My interview isn't until next month, so perhaps someone on VJ that has had their interview in Seattle can confirm this with everyone.

 

Thank you! I thought I saw this somewhere but couldn't find it. 

Our lawyer was telling us we need a new exam (but she's not very good and honestly I wish we didn't waste the money).

I'll send the policy letter and see what she says. 

If someone who has had their interview can confirm, that would be great. 

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I'm having a little trouble finding a recent answer.

Our medical exam has expired. Are there any automatic extensions right now like with the EADs due to long processing times, or do we definitely need a new one?

It's frustrating because we could have delayed sending the form, but processing times were 6-8 months when we applied. XP 

I'd just like to confirm before we schedule another expensive exam.

Thanks!

Is everyone who is getting their interview notices here from August ? Just trying to get a feel for where they are in the interview process. i am late October so I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer but I am glad to see some traction

 

 

Our app date is August 14, and we received notice Tuesday that our interview is scheduled for January 9th.

Your time is coming!

We just received a notification that our interview has been scheduled!!

Hi i've been waiting on aos through marriage petition since filing in october of last year. My wife and I got married in a small affair in city hall the July before. It was always our dream to get married overseas in a bigger wedding closer to where we both have substantial family. This wedding has been planned for over a year now. All deposits paid, invites out etc. Alas our worst nightmare came through and we received word today that the date of the interview has been scheduled and it clashes directly with the wedding which is 3000 miles away. My lawyer told me I should cancel the wedding. It's just not logistically possible over a 100 people have booked flights, accommodation and time off work. Not to mention the fact that my wife and I have been together for 6 years and have been dreaming about this day since.

 

Has anyone much experience with rescheduling? Will it be majorly frowned upon? Will travelling abroad for a 2nd wedding be thought of as presumptuous? 

 

PS I have I-131 for travelling abroad and have yet to use it.

If you're still on VisaJourney, could you tell me if you were able to reschedule the interview?

My husband and I are potentially finding ourselves in the same position. AOS interviews in our Seattle office were completely halted for 7 months and we decided we couldn't put our lives on hold forever and scheduled our second wedding ceremony in Mexico. We're now at 16 months from our file date and interviews are being scheduled in the Seattle office again. Based on the rate they're being scheduled, we'll either get the interview right before we go or while we're in Mexico. 

I can't believe our luck... 😓

We're at 13 months now...

The last Seattle interview posted was over a month ago...and the one before that was over 4 months earlier. 

This is getting ridiculous. We've had to renew our EAD. I can't tell if the interviews are being not processed at all or just moving really slowly.
