Finally, I GOT THE MEDICAL REQUEST.
It came suddenly and I couldn't be happier. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!
and my status is still "RVCD by VO"
Congrats Smallduck!

I also got my medical re last week.

Quick question, what all did they mention in your letter. I see that you are getting ready to pay the RPRF. Did they ask you that in the meds or are you just being proactive? And any mention about the interview?

My letter just says get your meds done.

Thanks.

They want my new FBI, submit RPRF and funding availability. All of these requirements indicated clearly in the separate letter which is coming with Med Req letter in the one package. I'm just do exactly what they ask, but I don't know whether I can get FBI in 60 days :)).

I think it really depends, but definitely it will be faster if the application has been transferred away from Buffalo. You should be receiving some news from LA office soon in the coming weeks. Search for other cases in the same timeframe. LA is faster compared to Seattle or Detroit office...

my 2nd aor is 6th of may, still shows as received by visa office, and I believe it's the same for many of us.. and it's sort of a relief to know everybody is goin through the same thing, so I don't think you should be worried, we are all worried but it's just taking too long.. we should expect something within 2-3 weeks I believe.. we'll see..
Best wishes to all!

I am in the same situation:

"We received your application for permanent residence on February 19, 2010.
We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on April 8, 2010. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
Your application and supporting documents were received by the Buffalo office. They are pending review.
We transferred your application to the Buffalo office on April 14, 2010. The Buffalo office may contact you. "

I recieved my 2nd AOR on May 5th.
