We turned in our I-130 on the 19th of April, we have not heard anything since then. Other people who did DCF through Tokyo, how long was it before you got your packet from the embassy with info about the medical and the police background check? They said everything looked to be in order, but it has been five weeks, should I start worrying?

Can you get the medical check in Tokyo before you go to turn in the I-130? It is about a four hour drive to Tokyo for us, and it would be more convenient if we could do it the morning of the day we turn in the I-130. Rather than having to go to Tokyo just to get the medical check after the NOA.

So maybe I should have her change a few of her bills over to my address. Is the proof needed when you turn in the initial I-130? If so, our appointment to turn it in is April 19th, and I am not sure any bills with the new address will come by then.

First off, I am new to the forum, and have been surfing around here most of the day.

My wife and I were married on the 19th of March 2010. We are going to start on the immigration process soon. We have been living together since November of 2008 but I am living in subsidized teacher housing with only my name on the lease. She continued using her parents address for all of her mail. Her koseki/honseki are in her parents city. I am going to be leaving Japan and going back to America in August 2010, so she is not planning on changing her koseki to my city--the hassle is not worth the four months that it would be there only to have to change it back. So should I put her address as my house or as her parents house on the paperwork?

I hope this makes sense.
