We had our interview today. The IO was very professional and courteous. We spent most of the time confirming biographical information and yes/no questions from the I-485 form. Then he asked what proof of our common life we have. I gave him 2 years of checking account statements, same for saving account, cell phone bills, car, medical and life insurance, our trips reservations and pictures. He took couple of things to put in his file and said that he was ready to approve me today, but my medical exam was over 1 year old and he needs a new one. So I ended up with RFE for medical. At the end he wished us a good day and told me that he'll see me for naturalization interview in 3 years :)
 
Congrats! Was your medical over year old from the interview date or from the time you actually submitted the package? My understanding was as long as you send medical in the time "freezes".
 
Ok Guys, i need to know do you have to take another medical with you, because i just submitted mine last month and my interview is next month so pls can someone who had a current medical explain.

And BornintheRSA that is good news i only had an update that a letter of approval have been sent and nothing else so i guess things moved after all.
 
My medical was over a year old when I submitted a package, and yes, as our IO explained to us, even if it was over a year old at the time of the interview, but under a year old when I apply, it would still be OK.
 
Reg: GC to Spouse

I Will become US Cititzen next month and my wife is in India. Can any one let me know how can i process her GC. I am thinking first get her here on B2, That way we can get her EAD in couple of months. pl advise.

B2 is a non-immigrant visa and most likely she will be denied since she would disclose her immigration intent as she is married to a U.S citizen.

Your best bet -> K-3 Visa and then bring her here and then apply for AOS.
 
NIW06, thanks for your comment but what i wanted to know is if you still have to take another medical form and ect to your interview despite the fact that you have submitted one.

Submit you I130 as soon as you get nationalised and then once it is approved it will be sent to NVC - they may process the green card in india rather than use K3 (if i remember right K3 visa's were introduced if you had been waiting over 2 years for I130 approval/ NVC processing.) There was something about it on the forms i recieved from the embassy when i got my K1 visa, they used a gerenic info kit.
