Thank you!! 🙂 I honestly don’t think they asked him for anything besides his photo ID but we were separated for the interview because of covid we weren’t in the same room and he can’t remember lol. We did bring it with us to be safe though. I think your photocopy would be fine, it’s certainly better than nothing. 🙂 If it was me, I wouldn’t worry about redoing the medical unless you are given a RFE. Many people sail through absolutely fine without it. You could just look into where, how long the wait is and how much it costs to get it done so you have a quick moving plan for the worst case scenario.🙂 good luck!!! 💖

Oh no that sounds terrible. I had a long wait when I first went for my state ID, but now they offer an appt and you wait in your car and they text you when it’s time to go in. It was so fast I was very impressed! 🙂

I feel like many drivers in Spokane are much more inconsiderate than they were back in my hometown in England. Yes, I had to do the written test, get a learners permit and then do the practical driving exam. I haven’t driven very much at all here because we have a lot of snow & I’m not confident in it. I also have to constantly remind myself ‘DRIVE ON THE RIGHT!’ 😂 I feel the same that US workers have hardly any rights at all compared to the U.K. it was a real eye opener for me. I am working full time and they do offer benefits (which I’m so grateful for.) Although, I’m currently trying to weigh up whether my insurance I have would be better financially to keep. I understand how my own insurance works with Kaiser permanente but I’m clueless about HSA’s and the health insurance offered by my employer! I feel like every day is a steep learning curve while training for my new job. I am a healthcare worker so there is fear and risks for COVID. But hopefully I’ll be able to get the vaccine soon. Glad things are going well for you and I’m very excited for you to get your GC in the mail. Good luck on extending your DL. Hope your DMV experience is smooth. I recently went and it was great. Much quicker than pre-covid🙂

Hi January filers. I come on here from time to time to see how everyone is doing. 🙂 I was approved for my GC at the end of November but have recently just started my first job and passed my drivers exam (just got to go get my license.) After all this time, it feels like life is just beginning. 🙂 To those who are still waiting, HANG IN THERE!! ❤️❤️ And to those who have been approved, are you driving or working? How is life treating you? It would be awesome to keep in touch with anyone who wants to and who knows, we may ‘meet’ again for ROC filing. 🙂

Congratulations! So happy for you that this chapter of your immigration journey is now over. 🙂😀🙂

I brought both mine and my husband’s birth certificates and they didn’t ask for either. They didn’t ask for most of the stuff on the letter but I brought it all anyway. I’m having a total mind blank what they did actually ask me for now! 😂 I don’t think they wanted anything from my husband besides his passport photo card to prove his identity to get in the building and again when they called him into a separate room. We weren’t interviewed together due to COVID we were told they were separating spouses, which makes no sense to me! 😂 maybe because the room was tiny and the plexi glass infront of the officer would have only covered me! 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ good luck doing the interview alone. I know it can’t be helped. Do you have your date yet? 🙂

Update: got my new SS card that doesn’t have the work authorisation wording on it, in the mail today. 🙂

That is fantastic! Just in time for the holidays 😍 congratulations!!

I don’t think it’s done automatically but I also don’t think it’s urgent you update them. They typically want you to send your documents in by mail because the offices are closed to the public but I called a guy I know who works there (he’s dealt with me from the beginning each time I went back to change my name after being married, EAD etc. So gave me his extension number! 🙂) and was like ... I waited almost a year for this card.. I’m not risking it getting lost in the mail lol. So I managed to get an in person appointment with him a couple days ago and will get my new SS card in a few weeks apparently. 🙂

Greencard arrived in the mail today. 🙂🎊🌈 Hang onto hope anyone who may be reading this and ends up in a similiar boat to mine with the lost medical. 🙂

Update: Greencard arrived in the mail today on the 1 year anniversary of me leaving my home England! It’s our first wedding anniversary on 12/12 so this is a great gift. ❤️ What a ride this has been. It feels weird to be completely done for 21 months! 🙂🌈🙂🌈🙂🎊🥳🎊😀🎊🥳 Wishing everyone in this group the very best of luck for the rest of your journey! 🙂

Update: status changed to ’card was picked up by the united states postal service’ and it lists the tracking number to use! 🙂🌈

I don’t see anything about a tracking number but I’ll definitely keep an eye out. Thank you! 🙂😀

Update: card mailed to me 🙂😀🙂😀🙂 I can’t get informed delivery here so I am going to be checking my mailbox like an excited hawk! 😂 😍😍😍

Update: card mailed to me! Can’t wait to get it in the mail. 😍😍😍 hang onto hope guys, your turns are coming too. 😀☺️☺️😀
