One last question! Medical exam related

[FrozenGlitter 1]

I have read that if the person applying for the visa has a medical issue, in order to get denied it would have to be one either dangerous/contagious to others, or psychological to the level of causing harm to others or the person themselves. These are the only cases you get denied, right? My fiance has a medical condition that is not contagious, not psychological, not dangerous, not debilitating. It doesn't prevent his ability to live, work, care for himself, or anything. But he'll have to mention it in his medical exam. I've always been worried it will be a problem, but people with things like asthma, diabetes, etc get approved for visas, right?

dangerous/contagious, psychological to the level of causing harm to others or the person themselves thats what can be a problem

Add to your list failure to get vaccinations and drug abuse/addiction. Those are the other two Class A medical reasons besides the two you mentioned.

What if some1 have incomplete when it comes to vaccinations?

If you are missing the vaccinations required for someone of your age, then you'll need to have them (for AOS). Either have them done before the medical or at the medical (the latter is likely to be more expensive). You have to have everything required for your age category.

Vaccination requirement list: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_1331.html

Most adults require tetanus in the last 10 years and two doses of the MMR (combined measles, mumps and rubella, or suitable single-shot doses of each). Chickenpox (varicella) is required where the vaccine is available (the UK doesn't provide varicella, we just have to say if we ever caught it as kids and are taken at our word, for example), and a flu shot in flu season.

Requirements will differ for children.

K1 applicants are not required to have their vaccinations up to date for the medical at that stage, as it's a non-immigrant visa, but they will be expected to have them up to date for their AOS. As such, it's generally easier and cheaper to do it during the K1 stage, otherwise you have to find a certified doctor in the US to do them for you later at more expense.

Thank you, i have a problem becouse my papers are lost i mean the vaccinations stuff and now i was wondering will i have to get all of them again? What if i had some diseas like Chicken Pox ? I know i am a little bit paranoid but i do not know what can ruin our papers and i do not wish to have visa denayed becouse of some silly stuff like this. I am also bringing my daughter she had have all vaccination done i mean the one she need for her age except for :

• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• Influenza
• Influenza type b (Hib)
• Menningo and Pneumococcal ​

So i am wondering should she get them....will it be listen on her papers? If yes than you do not have to replay. What conserns me is my situation >.> Okey so it would not ruin me but i would still have to make them in US....i think it will be better to do them here than....

Get her papers and find out what's listed. I can't comment on the medical near you, but in London there's generally a nurse there who discusses with you what vaccinations you have likely had or not and then advises on what they think you should have.

If you've just lost your own papers, it may be worth contacting your doctor or medical centre (or whatever makes sense in your area) and asking if they have records they can make a copy of for you.

You can get specific embassy advise on the medical from here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3739.html

No, MMR is twice. Usually, as a kid you have them a year apart. As an adult, you can have them 1 month apart.

[chrisclassic 14]

okay thanks so what do i need to have to be up to date iv had mmr as a child and tetanus back in 2009 do i need any boosters ???

[chrisclassic 14]

Chris-- I'm going to give you a copy/paste of a previous post of mine. Just plug yourself in where it say "he". It is not currently flu season, so no concern with that part.

He can get a K1 visa with zero shots. But once he gets to the US, they will cost a lot and a civil surgeon will have to copy them to a new form and sign off. People have SO MANY PROBLEMS with civil surgeons that you will cry if he doesn't take care of it now. The last person who asked me about this said the civil surgeon wanted $200 to fill out the paper PLUS the cost of the shots. I have a new private message in my box saying the civil surgeon filled out the sheet, but refused to sign. If you don't want to go through this trouble and expense, get it done now before his exam at Knightsbridge. It's going to cost you $1070 to apply for the greencard. You probably don't want to risk paying a doctor $200 more to fill out a form.

This is what he needs---THREE SHOTS. Read it carefully.

• Td or Tdap Tetanus, Diptheria, pertussis. (or get DT, DTP or DtaP and it will be accepted for AOS) date must be no longer than 10 years ago..
• MMRMumps, measles, rubella. (if born in 1957 or later) If he goes to the medical exam less than 4 weeks after the MMR shot, then he doesn't need another no matter what the nurse says. She is wrong. But if 4 weeks has passed since his first MMR shot, he will need a second MMR shot. This is because it is not safe to have 2 MMR shots closer together than 4 weeks. So if enough time has not passed, they mark the sheet "insufficient time interval" and that's good enough to get a greencard without the next shot. If he only had one shot as a baby, then he will need dose 2 for the US because four weeks have passed since his baby shot.
• Influenza(a flu shot) because flu season started on Oct 1. He can get it at Boots, Sainsbury's, Tesco or anywhere that is offering flu shots. Find the cheapest place. Take the proof to the medical exam to be recorded.

Varicella You can't get this shot in the UK. That's not an excuse for a K1 because he can get it in the US before he applies for a greencard.(And then he would have to pay a civil surgeon to fill out a new paper. Not good.) He MUST tell them at the London exam that he had chickenpox when he was a little boy to get the shot excused.

So... 3 shots and say he had chickenpox. If he leaves out any of that, then he will have to go to a civil surgeon in the US. If he does it correctly, the the vaccination sheet from the London exam will be used for his Adjustment of Status (greencard).
