If your medical exam results are truly missing, then you have not recieved "approval". They are just acknowledging that your application has been recieved and approval is pending the arrival of your medical exam results. Just take a copy of your medical exam results personally to the US Consulate/Embassy and submit them. They will have to give you a reciept, which acknowledges that they have recieved them. If you continue to have problems, then your only recourse is to hire an immigration attorney. They generally have connections and influence in expediting applications. Do it quickly, the longer you wait, the further down in the pile your application goes....and out of sight is out of mind! and after a long enough period of time, you may have to start the application process all over again.

I have heard similar stories such as yours. Some are even more horrible than what you are experiencing now. The INS has the policy of "no follow-ups" and they mean that. So, my advice to you is just send to INS all the papers they said they need from you and wait patiently for your permanent resident card to arrive. I understand how you feel, but unfortunately, that is how it works.

In the long run an attorney will save you a lot of time and frustration.
There are attorneys who specialize in immigration law. You can find them in the phone book...also ask around. Not all attorneys are equal.
Good luck!

Figures! Our government folks are about as good at getting the job done right (legal immigration) as they are, at not doing the job they are paid to do to protect all of us and our country (illegal immigration)!
Get an attourney to handle this for you if you can afford to.
If not, get someone who speaks English like an "American" native to intervene for you. I'm sure the immigration workers get tired of having to "interpret" folks who are not native speakers and may have a legit problem; and may just blow it off or put your problem in just another pile "to do".
Good luck dealing with the US beauracracy!
Welcome to the US; in all it's bountiful glory!

It sounds like bureaucratic incompetence to me. There's a lot of it going around. Keep resending them the medical evaluation.
These things tend to work out better when you're dealing with someone face-to-face, so if you can make an appointment to talk to someone about it, do so.

The INS is slow and sometimes incompetent. The best way to successfully deal with them is with a lawyer. I would advise that you contact a good immigration lawyer.

Send your information to them "return receipt requested"...some kind of acknowledgment that the information was received.
When I was USCG we would mail background investigation info to the district office to get person cleared for security clearance.
When we would check with District on progress of security clearance process they would tell us that the paperwork had not arrived etc .
So we started sending it "return receipt requested" .... we get a card mailed back to us with the name of an individual at District who signed for the paperwork.

Sent the records-certified mail-require a return signature. Done at post office, That way you have proof you sent it and who signed for it for it at delivery.
