So weird for some reason I’m missing it on my vaccine records lol so maybe I didn’t get it in high school. I guess I’ll have to wait for the medical exam and see if they ask me to get it done since it’s not showing up as a requirement on the list. 

If you have a family doctor or can get to a clinic, I would just ask them if they can send you for bloodwork about it or if they can simply give it to you. The last thing you want is to have to get it post your medical and then delay the process and risk not having your results at the consulate for your interview.

You  need to have immunity tests for MMR, hepatitis B, Chicken pox or vaccinations plus tetanus shot with in last ten years. For immunity test, you reach out to family doctor for lab requisition. It takes 5-6 days to get back results.

Haha thankful to have an interview compared to most but we were also scratching our heads. 
 

Almost over !

[llcoolwil 99]

Me just looking way too far deep into how I should answer questions at the interview...BUT! Typically when they ask about spouse's job, I see people saying they were it like "What does your spouse do for a living" are they expecting job title and company or simply the industry? I suppose it wouldn't matter to just say it all but again - me being over analytical about it all lol

 

Thanks!!

My husband’s interview is also next week! Do we have to upload additional/updated documents to CEAC? Our lawyer said we didn’t have to, but honestly I trust this forum more. We have an updated I-864 for me (I moved and got a new job) and my 2022 tax returns. Should I upload those?

Hey

 

Yes please upload your recent tax return!!! After April it was mandatory to have most recent tax return. I read that people got 221g for not having the most recent tax return uploaded in ceac. 
I event uploaded some of our pictures as relationship proof.

Oh my gosh thank you SO MUCH! You are a godsend! I feel stupid for not knowing this, but like I said, our lawyer said it was fine if we just bring the physical copies in. 
 

just to clarify (again, I know this is dumb), but I should upload this to the same website we uploaded all of documents to be DQd? CEAC.state.gov ?

 

again, thank you!

Thank you!!! Just uploaded and submitted! I did talk to our lawyer again and she said it’s only mandatory if we hadn’t been DQd before April, but….. I submitted it anyway. So thank you!

QQ - my husband (petitioner) had to get an extension on his tax return. We were DQ’d April 5. Would we be deemed “mandatory”??

Hmm I don’t think so? Here’s exactly what my paralegal said:

“2022 Taxes are mandatory for anyone who is not documentary qualified. For anyone who is still pending documents to upload or is about to apply for residency as of April 18, 2023 the 2022 Tax Returns became mandatory. 

 

You became documentary qualified before April 2022*. As such you can physically take the documents to the interview. They do not need to be uploaded to CEAC”

*we were DQd Jan 27th

 

They are a really great law firm and we’ve worked with wonderful paralegals there, but information changes very often, so i don’t want to pass this along as if it’s absolute truth. But hopefully this helps!
