For those of you who had your medical certificate deferred to the FAA...
How long was your wait?
Did you required additional medical documentation after that, if so how much longer was that?
I saw an AME 4 months and 2 weeks ago, he wanted me to provide a letter from my specialist (neurology). That doctor needed MRI's to prove my case in this letter. Between visits and the MRI testing I spent 2 months. It have been over 11 weeks now since all the documents were submitted and the suspense is KILLING me.

Thanks luniew
I just called the FAA and it turn out that they had sent a letter which I never got, with the wrong zipcode.
The bad news is that they are looking for copies of ALL medical records. Some from 1989 when I was originally hospitalized, which I have not had any luck in getting from the hospital.
Keep your fingers crossed for me... I'll keep fighting till I get it or get denied.

If you guys are AOPA members, use their medical assistance program. I had a couple students that had issues with obtaining a medical and they felt that this program helped. They deal with Oklahoma City on a daily basis and can provide an wealth of knowledge. I think this alone would be well worth the $39 membership fee.
