Medical Paperwork

[midge and isi 8]

Update:

Israel went for shot series 2 today. They had originally said it would be two shots. He only got one and now needs to go Oct 6th for number 2. Wondering if this will be the last one or if there will be another one later on in 4 or 6 months?

They also did not have his papers ready- they said in October they will have it.

I hope all the fall/early winter interviews for Ghana have started their process for medicals! It seems they can't get anything done in a timely fashion.

Lets keep waiting.

Mr. K might be able to fill in a little more later this week when his fiance goes- see what differences we will see!

Take care all!

Mr. K might be able to fill in a little more later this week when his fiance goes- see what differences we will see!

My fiancée made her second Akai House vaccination visit today and received her fifth injection (30 Ghana cedis). She was advised to return in four weeks to receive the last injection (30 GHC). She will also pick up the results from her medical examination (results ok) and proof of the injections on that day.

From what I was told, they are spacing the three vaccination visits as far apart as possible, as long as you are able to get them done before the interview. So, when your SO has their medical exam and first set of vaccinations and then inquires about when the results will be ready, Akai House will answer that question with a question: “When is the interview date?” Of course the interview date should have nothing to do with when the results will be ready. I guess Akai House is just trying to have all paperwork ready before the interview, and that is good enough for them.

The vaccinations went like this: First visit=4 injections; second visit=1 injection; third visit=1 injection.

On another note, the total cost for a police report is 40 GHC: It’s 20 GHC for the report, and 20 GHC for the pictures. Although the Ghana police website says to bring passport size photos, they are now requiring you to take photos at the police office [cha-ching!!]. The passport size photos are allegedly too large to fit on the application. In two weeks time, the police report is ready for pickup.

Well at least she got the same answer for when to pick up the results! We will be a few days before you- so we will let you know how it is! Israel however has his vaccine records, they let him keep it from the first visit to.

Did you request your police certificate already? One of the recent interviews said to get it just about a month out... I know you are closer then me- but we are going to request it exactly at one month to be on the safe side....

Thanks for the info on the cost of the passport pictures at the police station. I knew it was 20 for the certificate- but really 20 for the pictures is exactly what you said for money! Oh well....

Thanks again. we are all eachothers life lines at this point!

Yeah, the paperwork was filled out for the police report. However, once it is picked up it will be dated within one month of the interview. The person at the police office is making sure we're covered.
