Finally we got our interview date: December 31st !!! After finding out the date I made the medical appointment for the 17, do you think it would be a problem having it so early?

Not at all, the medical examination is valid for a year, I talked with the assistant of Dr. Roa (Luz Stella) and she told me that I can get my medical examination even 20 days before the interview at the Embassy, people used to do this step 2 o 3 days before interview because do not live in Bogotá and of course they just spend here the days that they need to the examination and the interview......I live in Bogotá so as soon I get my package 4 I am going to schedule my medical appointment ASAP as well....

Gooood luckkk!!

Yazz

Yazz....i didnt get my pckt 4 and today i scheduled my medical...its on the 27th.

Byron...we are sticking to the origial plan of getting them done before we get there...I'll keep everyone posted

Byron... I was just thinking ...could you call Roa's office again when you have a chance to find out the price of the vaccines?...

I would do it myself pero no hablo mucho Espanol...gracias

[HAL 9000 96]

Wow, but no big surprise. I suggest having Luz Stella or whomever is giving out false medical information at Dr Roa's office, warned that many people are aware of what they are doing and that they can take the initiative to avoid losing the Embassy's business in the long run.

[BYRON-LEIDY 0]

Scott if I remember correctly , i think she told me they were 135,000 pesos or about 75 dollars.

Byron,

Is 135,000 pesos is for all 3?...

Td = Tetanus and Diphtheria vaccine

MMR = Measles, Mumps and Rubella

Varicella = Chickenpox

If this is the price, then they may not be trying to gouge us and we can run with it...I seem to remember previous post where the price s range from 120-200 mil pesos for all three...can you confirm the 135 mil por favor?

[HAL 9000 96]

IF they are 135,000 COP for all 3 then yes its a good deal. Somehow I remember paying more when Maria had hers done elsewhere.

Lets hope thats the price for all 3. Then we could all sing a different tune to this practice. Somehow I doubt it though.

Hi All, We wil talk about our experience with the Vaccination.

I took my Vaccionation 15 days prior at my interview which was ok For the Doctor Gonzalez, There are place avalaible by the Guverment for to Do this, Like CRUZ ROJA (international), Here in Cartagena FATIMA, and I think there are more have license to Do it, In Bogota Brian and I Stayed in the Area called GALERIA, closer at the Stadium EL CAMPIN, there is a center shopping with the same name where they have a Vaccination Center, they are open 9-11 am and 2-4p.m where they administer all the vaccinations!

Neophi, Sooner you know the day for The interview you most call one of the Doctor of your preference to make the appointment Doesnt matter if you gett the package 4 or not! as long as you have your interview date.

and The Doctor will check your Body in General, the person will be only in under wear, so the doctor will check almost everything they think have to be checked.

It's not True that The Doctor Roa is the only one that can administer the vaccinations!

I wish you guys can gett everything Done very soon.

God Bless you,

You need to double check this information because my husband had to have 1 of the shots there and it was close to $90 dollars, just for the one they said he needed. The lady I spoke to that day had 2 of her sons with her as well and she ended up paying close to $500 dollars for the 3 of them. Check and triple check these prices with the office.

Can someone answer this simple question: I received my tax transcripts for the last three years and am going to submit them with the I-134. I will also add the last three months of my paystubs and a letter from my employer. Do I still need to send my W-2's and my 1040's? I thought the tax transcripts would be ok in place of the returns and W-2's, but my novia is telling me that I need to send them. Which should I send?

I only submitted 3 years tax transcripts, 3 months of paystubs and the letter from my employer and this is brought with you to the interview with the affadavit of support and was accepted at our interview on 12/04/07 and We were approved. This is my experience and had no problems, Our interview was less than 5 minutes and we were Approved and the vice consul never even talk to me or ask me any questions other than to tell me congratulations, your wife is approved. if you have the tax transcripts for the 3 years, YOU DO NOT NEED THE W-2 OR 1040'S

Now I'm a little confused. I think you may have a point. They charge COP$135,000 for the appointment/medical exam, but I'm assuming the vaccines that my wife is missing will cost extra?

My wife says she has to take her vaccination records, and that they will only apply what is not on there. I'm going to tell her to call Dr. Roa's office again and ask that question, and if she has to take them there. It may be cheaper to do through her EPS (Sanitas) although I'm not sure since maybe vaccines are not covered.

We are still waiting for our NOA2 and consequently our interview is still several months away. However, I don't believe in leaving things for the last minute so we are starting the document gathering for my wife.

As far as I can tell from this thread and the Packet 3 info, we will need the following documents for her. This list does not include the medical exams or vaccinations.

1. Passport

2. Fe de bautismo. (Original o copia autenticada)

3. Registro Civil (Original o copia autenticada)

4. Certificado Judicial del DAS (Original)

5. Carta del DAS (Migratorio), entradas/salidas (Original)

6. Registro Civil de Matrimonio (Original o Copia autenticada)

We are starting with getting her passport as this won't expire for years. However, I understand that the other documents have requirements as to how recently they were issued. What are those limits for the other documents?

Thanks,

CG
