My fiancee just finished her medical at SLEC. Her DS-3025 shows the same vaccinations I expected based on the "instructions to panel physicians" except for two: influenza has code F "Flu vaccine not available" which I understand is acceptable, and hepatitis B has code D "Not available in country".

Is it true that in Manila they have no access to Hepatitis B vaccines? I feel like SLEC is just trying to increase profit by not giving the required shots, the cost of which was included in the visa medical package.

I have very good health insurance and Hep B is required for insurance companies to cover, so it's easy for us to pick up the missing shot after marriage. But that won't get it onto the official government form. Has anyone gotten RFE for Manila using code D inappropriately?

Hello,

We just had the interview for my wife s IR1/CR1 visa in Frankfurt. I am the US citizen petitioner and I attended as well.

Everything seemed fine, we had all requested documents, and the interview questions went smoothly.

At the end, the officer said that they have everything they need but that the system needs some more time to process and that this usually takes about one day. They said this is a completely normal check. They kept the passport and did not give us any papers. They said that we will get an email when the passport is mailed out.

Everywhere we are reading online says that they tell you congrats at the end if the visa is approved so we are a bit concerned with this result.

Can anyone give any insight as to if they had a similar experience or what to expect here?

Regards.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've seen conflicting guidance online!
I was born in South Africa, where I lived until I left for the United Kingdom when I was 6 years old, and acquired British Citizenship a few years thereafter. I have resided in the United Kingdom ever since. I presume I've retained South African citizenship, and would be dual-national, though I only hold a current British passport. I haven't been back to South Africa since I left.
I've now had my I-130 approved and it's moved to the NVC, where I'll need to upload the civic documents. I'll of course need a UK Police Clearance Certificate, but do I also need one for South Africa?
South Africa would be considerably more difficult as their police website which you need to apply through doesn't appear to have been working recently.
If anyone knows definitively, how additional nationalities, while under 16 are treated, are treated it would be hugely appreciated!

My wife just got her green card approved recently and her SSN came in the mail yesterday, with the issue date being Feb 6th (just over a week ago). I filled our taxes but it was rejected due to her SSN. Could it be because the government's systems haven't updated with her SSN? If so, how long should I wait? Maybe try submitting again? I have to submit my tax return asap due for a variety of reasons.

Hello all

I m freaking out a bit

we filed for my parents to move here permanently after I became a US citizen. I had my last name changed legally after becoming a US citizen because I thought it would be easier. The legal name change happened a few months ago (around 3-5 months). Today the i130 petitions were approved for both parents and when we logged in we realized we did not update the last name we completely forgot and it is totally my fault. Any ideas on what I should do now ? I feel like a total idiot.
