Hello everyone,
I have to start my showing gratitude to this forum. I have learned more here than I would have learned from an attorney. Sincere advices from experiences, and pretty fast at that.
I'm married to a US citizen and I'd have 2 yrs in the marriage in August. Filed for adjustment of status in Feb 2011, had my interview on May 19. After my wife and I were sworn in, and info that we submitted in the forms verified, the IO asked me to excuse her so she would talk to my wife. Then I was called in, asked a few questions (Identical to the ones my wife was asked). The Officer told me that the doctor had not completed some parts on my medical form. I was asked to take that for it to be completed and returned. No decision as to whether I was approved or not. The IO gave me a letter about Section 216 of Nationality & Immigration Act, which explains that: You will be given 2 yrs of conditional residence if you have not had 2 yrs in the marriage. My passport had not been stamped, nor was my EAD taken. She detached my I-94 from the passport and said "you wouldnt be needing it anyways since it's expired". So I took the medical form back to the Dr on Monday May 23, completed, sealed and returned. Delivered on May 24th. Its been 11 days since the medical has been returned/delivered. There has not been any update on status when I check online.
Has anyone been in a situation like this? Or even just familiar with it and how did it end up?
Thanks
