Does this work for you?

Jeremy dug it out for me

That's what you should print out and wave in the Dr's face at your medical!

For those who don't feel like reading it:

Because a fiancé(e) visa permits the holder to immigrate to the U.S. and marry an American citizen shortly after arrival in the United States, the fiancé(e) must meet some of the requirements of an immigrant visa.

...

United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the vaccination requirements. See IV Vaccination Requirements for the list of required vaccinations and additional information.

As a fiancé(e), you are not required to fulfill this requirement at the time of your medical examination for a fiancé(e) visa. However, you may want to do so. These vaccinations are required when you adjust status following your marriage.

Awesome, thanks Aly (and Jeremy)

I am defo printing it - I have the URL in my inbox now courtesy of Jeremy so I can wave it in everyone's face... I might get it tatooed across my face as well just to make the point...

In fact that would prolly be cheaper than the HPV vac

[rae_and_scott 1]

I'm sure it would!

I'm so glad that in the Philippines 90% of the vaccinations are actually given to you at the medical exam and are included in the cost of the exam. The only one we will have to worry about once she is here is the TD vaccine.

I want to include this information for others (and save you much frustration) but if you have questions about your case and it seems like things are moving slowly calling this number in Washington DC at the National Visa Center 1-202-663-1225 with your fiance's "Case Number LND**********" plus which Embassy you are working through they are able to give you helpful information about what is going on.

I had to call today because we turned in our Packet 3 on Feb. 1st and had not heard another thing from them. This Washingtom DC number I called said we were "not qualified" because we had not sent part 2 of DS 230. The instruction did not state that part 2 was needed but we will send this happily.

I just wonder how long we would have waited to hear from London Embassy about "not qualified" had I not called the Washington DC number as it was almost 2 months since we sent packet 3 in, I'm sorry but I feel a bit angry right now.

sunsi, you have every right to feel angry! That's just ridiculous that they let people wait like that. Thank you for the information. I hope things start moving again for you real quick!

Congratulations, Babblesgirl on the visa!!

I've had my interview today in Paris and it all went great!!!

I have been granted the K1 and they told me I should receive my passport at the begining of next week

They didn't even ask me to see some evidence of the relationship

I think they already thought the relashionship was genuine

I'm so happy!!!!

I'm gonna write a review later in the Paris US Embassy section later

Next step, AOS!!!

Best of luck for everybody
