Can members share what's appropriate cost(or what you paid) to get medical examination and shots for parents.

My parents are in their 60s.

Regards.

For my parents, we did back in Oct-08 and the total came out around $400 for both, which include medical exam, blood test, shots, etc.. plus the 2 seals envelops result that I sent with the package to USCIS
 
Received biometrics notice yesterday.Mom is scheduled for April 30 at 8am...I still can't track the case on the USCIS website...
 
Hi, guys,

I have applied for green cards for my father in Feb 2009. Yesterday he received a letter requesting him to appear for initial interview at Houston office on May 14, 2009.

My dad came to the states on B2 visa, but he overstayed because of some unforseen reasons.

I have a few friends who applied for green cards for their parents recently, and they all
got approved with no interviews. Is my father requested to appear for interview because he overstayed?

Do I need to hire a lawyer to accompany us to the interview? I believe parents, spouse and unmarried children under 21 of US citizens are forgiven if they come to the states legally but overstay. Can an immigration officer reject my father's case because he overstayed?

Have anyone had simliar experience? What questions will an immigration officer ask at parents' I-485 interview?

Thanks a lot.
 
(My mom I-130,I-485,I-131 applications ) sent applications thru Fedex on Apr 8th and somebody in chicago INS office signed on APR 9th, so far nothing happened like either check cashing...

Guys please let me know how long it takes to INS to deduct money and send NOR? I know it's hard to predict and but at least expected INS to grab money as soon as application is received ...that is what happened in the past like in case of my N-400 OR Visitor extention for my mom or in-laws..

I know i am little paranoi on this issue , my mom current I-94 will (she is on visitor visa) will expire on June 2nd...

Give it about 7-10 working days and if it has not cashed, then you need to panic.

Wow, this is really fast, only a little over two months. Big congrats.
 
Thank you second stage ..

Thank you second stage ..i will wait for couple more days... I hope i am also lucky like WeiWei99 who got GC in 2 months.....
 
Mom completed her finger printing today.We did a walk in and she was allowed to get it done.That was really nice.

It cost about $300 for her medical/I-693.I think there is no set price for medical.It depends on what you need to have done eg vaccines that your parent needs to take or update.
