St Lukes Medical Center- Fiancee had medical

[Commish10 427]

She got there at 5:30am, out by noon. Lots of waiting to be called,  from one station to another. Blood, Urine, Vision, Physical Examination, Chest Xray.

 

The only medical questions they asked her was if she has the chicken pox, and if she currently has a fever. Since she had chicken pox she only requires 2 vaccinations. Others who have not will need 3.

 

They told her come back tomorrow at 9am for vaccinations. Update to follow.

Did she pre-register?  Did they ask her for the NVC letter or email?

[Commish10 427]

She did pre- register. I'm not sure if they asked her, but she did send me a picture of the passport photo stapled to her NVC approval letter.

She did meet another girl going to live in Dallas  so they exchanged information. It will make me very happy that she will have a friend when she arrives.

Well we can keep in contact and when we finally arrive we can meet up for lunch.  I had my fiancé join a Dallas FB group but she said there's not a lot of activity in the group.  I know we will try to find a Filipino community when we arrive.

[Commish10 427]

Yes, It is very big. This is my 2nd go round. Once you guys meet one couple the flood gates open.  All filipinos are extremely welcoming of new arrivals.

Interview is March 7, I am leaving DFW on March 1. Will have some vacation in Boracay before interview. We were in HK over Thanksgiving.

SLEC actually told her she was getting vaccinations in the morning?   So they had read her x-rays already?   Usually you don't know if you are vaccinations or SPUTUM until the next day.

 

Glad it went smoothly.

If true it does relieve a lot of that second day stress to see where they send you!

I'll have to clarify exactly what they said to her, but they did verify that she would require 2 vaccinations.

To clarify previous comments and answer Jay Jones question: 

1. They did not ask her for her NVC approval email

2. They told her to come back tomorrow. Not come back tomorrow for vaccines.

 

Sorry for the misinformation. Sometimes as you know, it's hard to get correct information from them.
