Medical Exams

I just found out today that USCIS will not accept any I-140 applications without the medical exam complete. This was just announced to my attorney from USCIS today. This is new. I imagine because they are expecting a flood of applications they want them to be complete.

Thankfully I just completed mine but it was hard to get it done. The closest physician I could do it through in time for July 2 was 2 hours away from my home and I ended up having to make the trip 3 times. The first time for the medical exam, 2nd time for TB check, and then noticed an error and had to make an additional trip today to get it corrected. I imagine I am not the only one who had difficulty getting the medical exam done in time.

Looks like USCIS is now saying that medical exams are no longer required at time of filing again. It sounds like the decisions are being made on the fly. But still glad we got ours done since we won't have to worry about having to do it on short notice when it is required. A complete file has got to work in our favor down the road anyway.
