Interview and medical question

hello,

I have a concern and question. I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out here.

I am the beneficiary (f4 visa) and my interview is in a couple weeks. I was trying to get as many shots done at home before I went to do the medical. I was trying to cut down on the cost, because I know getting shots at the medical can be expensive. I received my last shot on the 13th March (for MMR). Now, I was reading info on the medical, and I came across a section that spoke about the amount of time that has to elapse between a live shot (mmr,varicella ) and the TB skin test. It mentioned that a skin test cannot be administered within 4 weeks of receiving a live shot (but they can be administered the same day). It went on to state that this would delay having the medical completed and would in turn delay the interview. The medical is in a week so only about 3 weeks would have elapsed since the last shot. I still need to get a varicella shot done at the medical (none available locally)

Am I in trouble??

Regarding the interview, should I take along any major accomplishments I have received or anything to show that I am a productive person? Like degrees,work achievements? Or is the embassy only concerned about a clear criminal record and medical?

TB skin test is only for applicants 14 years old and below.

The US embassy doesn't care about your achievements. Education or work accomplishment is not the basis of visa approval. Your relationship with your sibling petitioner is what they will scrutinize so bring evidence of on-going relationship like photos of the two of you together and emails/chat/call logs.

They already know that you will not become a public charge because of the affidavit of support unless your petitioner's income changed from the last tax return that she/he submitted. Bring also the latest tax return and W2 of the petitioner and joint sponsor (if any).

Thank you for responding. One followup. If I get approved I am not intending to live with my petitioner. Could I be denied for that?

No. You can live anywhere you want in the US. As I have said what matters is your on-going relationship with your sibling petitioner.
