Phone Call from Consulate

[evergreen 0]

A very nice lady from the Consulate called us and stated that she would do everything she could to speed the process up there due to the medical conditions in my situation. I am so relieved and happy to be dealing with a real, live, compassionate person! She's just waiting for the stuff from the NVC and the NBC.

Also, my husband just had a complete physical including blood tests for HIV, HEP C, syphyllis, a chest x-ray, Tb/ppd test, and all vaccinations. This was last week. Do we still have to pay $250 for an exam from a "panel" physician?

This is getting expensive - birth certificates, police records, medical costs, the initial visa fees, travel costs, attorney costs, and the $100s of dollars we'll need when we go to get the visa!

***Being above poverty level and able to support your spouse once they are here is not the equivalent of having $1000's of dollars just laying around with nothing better to spend them on than immigration! NO wonder people immigrate illegally.

I know what you mean. Well at least they lady was nice and is trying to help speed this up, as far as the medical exam, you may need to ask her if the one he had was acceptable. I thought that they had to be doctors approved by the embassy. Wouldnt hurt to ask.

Good luck

evergreen,

A set of DoS medical forms filled out by a Panel Physician is required for the visa application.
