I bet it will takes sometimes because next week is holiday.
By the way, Happy Thanksgiving in advance to everybody.
Hi,
I read in the AOS package about the medical exam, that I should compare the prices from different surgeons. Please, Can anyone tell me what I really need to ask about when I call the doctors office? Do they already know that what kind of medical exams should be done for AOS process?
What is the usual cost for medical exams?
Thank you

Just tell them that you need medical exam for AOS process. You must go to the one recommended by USCIS because those doctors know what to do! From what i understand is that the cost varies depends where you live! you call to few offices to find the prices.
Good Luck!
Once the biometric is done, they will stamp on your notice that it has been done and on which date.
2NL for 2014EU00031XXX - 2014EU00035XXX
Hi, AOS people!
My case number is 2014EU00034XXX. I will be doing AOS.
I submitted DSP-122 + bar code letter to KCC. I have not received 2Nl yet.
Called to KCC. The lady on the phone checked my case and said that my case is in the computer and she can see that that AOS option is selected.
When I asked her about 2NL - she said that they don't send emails (???), my case is not current yet, I have to check VB and so on.
From this very informative forum I know that winners going for AOS will receive 2NL email at some point.
I would like to know if anybody with case number in 2014EU3XXXX has received 2NL?
Thanks!

The recommended CS are all aware of what is required for the immigration medical exam. So when you call, you can ask them to give you a rough estimate of what the exam is likely to cost before booking an appointment. You should also ask for the accepted form of payment, some accept cash only for the medical exam. The entire medical exam could cost anywhere between $175 to $700 depending on your State/City and the CS you end up using.

The time when the 2NL is received for anyone doing AOS has nothing to do with how high or low their CN is, it is relative to when the DSP form was sent and received, and processed by KCC.
The person you spoke with obviously has no idea of what she's saying because KCC sends out email, even for those doing CP (although in the CP case, this is only done when their CN becomes current and they've been scheduled for an interview).
Thank you so much Sm1smom and sliew.
It could be really $700? That is expensive. I had some vaccinations before coming to U.S. more than 4 years ago, and I have the proof from the vaccination institiute in my country. Should I take it with my self. Does that help to avoid getting some of the shots?
Thanks

This is what I always thought too. Just KCC lady on the phone was very confusing - "wait for your VB to become current".
Britsimon,
May I ask you if you have received your 2NL?
I don't want to start preparing I-485 (read "spending money") until I have 2NL confirmation from KCC.
Thanks!
Somebody PMed me about this (you can come out if you want
I'll be current in Jan 2014, but as you can see in my signature I already filed my I-485. The question is whether that is OK or I could only file one month ahead of becoming current, which would be Dec 1st.
"The Memo" states:
Source: USCIS Policy Memo PM-602-0088, Page 3PM-602-0088 said:
I quoted the above section in my Cover Letter. It is interesting that the example "the Memo" gives exactly lines up with my situation:
PM-602-0088 said:
Source: Page 4
As you can see, as soon as the Visa Bulletin is published and shows that you'll be current at some point, even if more than 2 months from the date of the release, you are eligible to file!
Good luck to everybody!
I just received the package back because "my priority date is not current yet." Priority date only applies to Employment-Based petitions. I'm not sure what's going on there.
Will be re-submitting next week.
By the way, I never received the hard-copy of DV Fee receipt (only received scanned receipt through e-mail). The outlook doesn't seem encouraging if every single step is going to be like this.

No I haven't received my 2NL. So far I am planning to do CP (where 2NL is only sent once your number is current) although that would change if USCIS would stop messing around with my H1 visa that may change to be AOS.
Dont worry c1984 too much. I too was rejected and had to resend in again. Please send that it reaches them on or after 1st Dec. I would prefer to have all the issues before the interview than during the interview
What I am been noticing is USCIS accepts the AOS package exactly one month before you are current. If you send immediately after the VB is published, it is being rejected.
Thanks, s6656 ! Just wanted to know what to expect.

See pkrish's record in the timeline:

His was accepted earlier than 1-month before becoming current.
And I am certain based on the PM they have to accept it as soon as the VB is released.
Thank you Britsimon!
Just called KCC again. This time got lucky to get somebody knowledgeable.
She said they are behind the schedule. Should receive in 2-3 weeks.
