This is a simplified version as I’m standing on a train heading back home 😂 interview went well. Make sure you photocopy original divorce decree documents, I brought the originals and they seems mad at me ☹️ but they were honestly fine, the person doing the interview was lovely and actually had a sense of humour.
Questions asked:
How did you meet?
How was the wedding?
Have you met her family?
How many times and what was your longest stay in the US?
Do you plan on visiting Israel or Palestine?
This is very mentally challenging and still doesn’t feel real but don’t give up no matter how hard it gets.

Medicals
Can anyone confirm that the 60 day rule doesnt apply to medicals anymore, meaning if you get a civil surgeon to sign your medicals they can be submitted to uscis anytime afterwards and not necessarily within 60 days of the surgeon signing?
My Vawa case is pending but I want the medicals to be ready and sent asap once VAWA is approved and I get an rfe for i693.

I -751 Divorce Waiver – Second “Actively Being Reviewed”
Hi everyone,
I submitted my I-751 divorce waiver in April 2023. USCIS received my RFE response (final divorce decree) in March 2025.
On July 3rd, the status changed to “Case is actively being reviewed,” which is the second time I’ve received this update — the first was after the initial submission.
There are no new documents uploaded under the Documents tab. My case is with the Texas Service Center (TSC).
Has anyone else experienced this? Could it just be an internal case transfer or routine update with no immediate outcome?
I’d really appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
