January Filers at the CSC - How are you doing?

[Alex & Rachel 78]

A huge controversy in the US or France?

Hmm, from the printout I got from the US Embassy's London page it says you don't require the Hep B shot if you're over 18...

EDIT: I just noticed you're a CSC filer too, Miss Yoko! For some reason I thought you had filed in Vermont

Not sure where you all are on the CSC list but I am the very last Nov filer for a K1 and I just went under 100 yesterday.

there is the list on the us embassy French website :

United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations (listed below) prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. The physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are required to verify that you have met the vaccination requirement, or that it is medically inappropriate for you to receive one or more of the listed vaccinations:

* Mumps

* Measles

* Rubella

* Polio

* Tetanus and diphtheria toxoids

* Pertussis

* Influenzae type b (Hib)

* Hepatitis B

* Varicella

* Pneumococcal and

* Influenza

so ...

Its a controversy in France. I don't care i just want to get my visa

And nooooooooo i'm desperate being at CSC

The talk of vaccinations is reminding me that there is one thing I should do - go and get all of mine from the doctor before the medical, as it'll be cheaper. I also fall into the age-group (11-26 females) for the Human papillonomavirus which looks to be required for AOS, so I'll need to ask for that, too.

I'm off to visit my parents for a few days! Blake, Cecile - I'm relying on you guys to keep this thread well and alive.

so that would mean the list of vaccination requirements is different whether it's for K1 interview or AOS?

As for keeping the thread alive, I have no idea what I'm going to do this weekend! so maybe I'll be online half of the time

And Blake, MissYoko, and all the other ones, what are you going to do this weekend? (it might give me good ideas!)

So confusing.

From hanging out in the UK forum, it seems that at the medical they only offer you tetanus/MMR vaccinations - all you need for the initial entry into the US. But from what others have said Human papillonomavirus will be required (for women my age) at AOS. If different country's embassies are all saying different things then I wonder how we're supposed to know what will be required and what not?!

Good to hear, Blake

We'll do our best - at staying alive that is....

One thing to remember about the medical's you take is that when it comes to the adjustment of status (looking way down the road) you need to have a medical that is less than one year old. So getting it done and out of the way too early, may require another one in the states depending on how long this process goes on. Have fun with your parents!!

And that would be good to know it as soon as possible, since the papillomavirus vaccine is quite long to get (I believe there are 3 shots: 1st shot the 1st month, 2nd shot one month later and 3rd shot 6 months later)!

Yes true, it's probably better to wait at least for NOA2.

Anything special planned for this weekend Blake?

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Blake - true - but the vaccinations themselves only need to be done once. I'm still expecting to have the medical in London/at AOS.

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing my family! It's also an opportunity to see all my grandparents and old friends. (My grandparents moved to the same town to retire). Plus I'll get to groom the dogs and pet the cat (and sneeze a lot - darn allergies). It's my dad's 50th birthday and he's having a huge party.

I've bought clothes for my youngest two siblings - I love buying children's clothes! There are some really pretty designs in stores, especially for girls. And so long as a child is about average weight/height you can pretty much pick the right age off the shelf and it'll fit. If only it worked that way for adults.
