Is medical exam appointment date given by embassy or is it scheduled by us?
If the medical exam appointment date is given by the embassy, can we change it?
Can we choose which of the 3 medical offices we want to use?
What medical office do people here recommend based on experience?
It appears from other post that I have read about vaccines, that even if the person has no records of past vaccines that everything can be taken care of during the medical exam, is this
the same experience other people have had?
What vaccines of the 12 listed are being required at the medical exam:
1. Paperas
2. Sarampiòn
3. Rubeola
4. Polio
5. Tétano y Difteria
6. Toxoides Tétánico y Difteria
7. Tos Convulsiva
8. Influenza tipo B (HIB)
9. Hepatitis B
10. Varicela
11. Numocòcica
12. Influenza

You can pick which doctor you go to, Prices are a little different and availability dates are different. Isa went to Dr. Nora Lari and your fiance will want to schedule as soon as possible. I think Isa had all of the vacinations because she hadn't had any since she was a baby.

You can choose any of the 3 doctors from the list, you will need your letter from Packet 3/4 to schedule it but you can schedule it whenever is most convenient (schedule as soon as you can after receiving the packet.

All of the vaccinations are required to be met, though only the Doctor will be able to tell you which are needed based on individual medical needs.

The vaccines can be taken care of by the Dr. even if no records are available (this will be an additional charge and the cost will depend on what is needed). In our case the vaccinations were done over two days because the Dr. did not want to give too many on one day......

If it helps we used, Dr. Situ he was great. Though in all honesty I have never heard a complaint on any of the 3 in Lima.

oUR TOTAL was 710 soles plus the $95 fee.

My husband went today to do medical with Dr. Nora Lari, he got two vaccines MMS and DT and he paid $95 +100 soles.
It took him approx. 2 hours to finish everything, and he is going to take his results next Tuesday.

My husband and I will be in the jungle outside of Iquitos when the packet is received. I hope to know when the interview is scheduled before I leave the US. No telephone, electricity, water, or MAIL in the jungle. And the last three mails I sent to Iquitos have not arrived. If the NVC straightens out the mess they made quickly, I may know.
How long does it take to get the results of the medical? We will be flying into Lima for the medical and interview. So of course we need to arrange plane reservations. Any insight would be very helpful.

Well my husband went yesterday May 9, and Dr. Nora Lari told him to come back on Tuesday for his results. I have read some of the posts that some of the medical can be picked up next day.

Dani, how much was the medical exam including the vacunas?

My husband paid 110 soles for 2 vaccines +$95 required money for the medical.

wOW, MY WIFE HAD TO PAY 690 SOLES + $95

How many vaccines did she need? My fiancee paid 560 soles for 3 vaccines, including the dreaded HPV one, and this was with Dr Oscar; I was expecting way worse, given the experience of a few other people with him. Some had paid as much as 1200 soles for vaccines.

Hi:

Please could you tell me whats the meaning of "MMS" and "DT", what kind of vaccines they re?

Thanks!!

Angela

Well, DT=Diphteria & Tetanus, and MMS I really dont know and my husband as well but he said those are tree vaccines in one. Sorry for incomplete information, if somebody knows more can give you additional info.

I think we also has dr oscar but i am not sure. She got 3. I will ask her which 3 though. I think 1 was papiloma or something like that.

Quick question for you guys. After the inmigrant visa was approved at the interview, how long before picking up the passport? 2 days, the same afternoon?

Thanks a bunch!

If all goes good, then yes 2 days, you can pickup at the DHL office

In my case., we had to go back the following day because the digital fingerprints did not go through correctly and had to be re done. This caused a delay and i had to change the travel ticket for my wife since she did not have her passport on time. I made all the planes a bit too tight :'(

My turn ask to ask....
My wife went to a doctor last month in Arequipa and got her vacination record. The doctor created a new card that shows all the vacinations she received as a youth. He also calcuated the dates she received them.

Are there vacinations not on the list that are required? And from your experiences, which is the best doctor to see?

My husband went to Dr. Nora Lari and he said everything was ok she charged him required $95 + 110 soles for vaccines.I would suggest her.

sudyessi@gmail.com

it was with Sandro, and 3 vaccines including the hpv one

do you remember the total cost for all vaccinations? My wife cannot find any of her vaccination records, thus she will need all shots. How many days did it take to get all the shots applied?

Hi! It all seems to depend on who you go to... There were several extensive discussions on doctors from March - May. You may want to look in the portal section and find them that way (specific to Lima).

And the guys seem to pay less than the girls due to one specific shot...

Hope this helps!



Hi!

Did you get the answers you needed? This is an old post...

Hi Jacky again!

Here's what you should be working on in Peru... This is what David brought with him to the interview...

KEY: * = they did not ask for or did not want at the interview itself

OF-156K
datos biográficos (we sent it in per the directions and they wanted it again at the interview; thank god we had another copy)
interview appt letter
pasaporte
certificado de nacimiento, legalizado por la RENIEC
certificado de policía
certificado de penales
certificado de judicales
libreta militar *
2 fotos nuevas - glued onto the ds-156
cualquiera evidencia that he had *
examen médico
he needed to sign the papers that I brought; couldn't sign some of them until he was in the presence of the consulate officer
pay for the tariff - receipt needed!


Don't bother sending in the datos biográficos early, like the packet 3 says when you get it. We did that and then they wanted it again at the interview.


Here's what your fiance should be working on in the States; this is what I brought with me to the interview...

ds-156 - 2 copies for them to keep
ds-157
ds-156k English version that I got online * they only wanted the Spanish one that was sent to David
ds-230 parts 1 & 2 *
I-134 (there's a 3rd page in the packet 3 that I also signed and had notarized; have no idea if I needed to or not, but I did) - notarized
- tax transcripts * - originals
- stocks and bonds papers - copies
- retirement info (2) - copies
- letter from bank - original
- pay stubs - copies
- 2007 taxes - copy; including W-2s
- 2005-2006 taxes - copies, including W-2s
- employer letter - original
copy of I-129F originally sent *
original evidence = phone evidence, receipts from trips (air, hotel, bus, tourism, food, phone cards) *
more phone records * - I had copies for them to keep and originals with me
more emails * - I had copies for them to keep and originals with me
more pics * - I had originals for them to keep
new letters of intent * - originals
NOA1, NOA2 * - I had copies for them to keep and originals
passport *
electronic ticket *



Don't forget to make copies of EVERYTHING that you could hand over if you don't already have copies of those articles!


I hope this helps whoever is coming up next for the interview! Obviously at the interview they can ask for things that they didn't ask me for. I'm just writing what my experience was... The DS-230 was absolutely not needed, however.


Also, please keep in mind that some of these things are specific to the fact that David is a guy and he needed to do a couple of extra papers due to that fact. Also, in some cases it was easier for me to fill in the papers and have David sign them when I got to Peru.


Here's a link too, to an old link that I made for help...

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;#entry1754680

well, MMS=measles, mumps and rubella vaccine...(sarampion, paperas y rubeola)
DT= Diphtheria-Tetanus

I hope this information can help....
