My wife is about to appy for Adjustment of Status after arriving on a K-1 visa. On the I-485 form it states that persons who came over on a K-1 and had a medical examination within the past year (which she did), do not need to have the entire medical report/exam done. The only thing that she needs to submit is a VACCINATION SUPPLEMENT (which I have in my possession).

My wife is 8 months pregnant and can't take these vaccinations and will not be able to take them for awhile b/c she will be nursing our child after he is born.

I have an appointment scheduled with the Civil Surgeon in our area to have her exam.

Does anybody know if it is acceptable for the Doctor to simply state on the supplement paperwork that she is pregnant and therefore cannot participate in the immunizations?

Just want to know if anybody knows this from experience.

Did she get her immunization when she had her medical examination? Or was she already pregnant then?

If she did, you could just show the civil surgeon the record she got then. Civil surgeon then will fill the Vaccination Supplement for you based on that record.

+ She was already pregnant when she had her medical examination.

+ She has a couple of cards that show the vaccinations that she got and the vaccinations that she needs

If she has any record of immunization from her prior medical, that should be sufficient. She shouldn't need to be vaccinated again.

However, if she does need additional vaccines, she can waive any required due to pregnancy, but she will eventually need to get them, possibly before her AOS interview.

+ She has a couple cards that she recieved from Brazil so we are going to take these to the Civil Surgeon so that he can fill out the supplement.

Just wanted to let everybody on this site know that my fiancé was approved for her visa this morning. The interview was a piece of cake thanks to this site. She had her interview in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Questions:

1) When did you meet your fiancé?

2) How did you meet your fiancé?

3) Are you sure that he is the father of your baby (my fiancé is pregnant with our son)?

That was it! She was done at 8:40EST after arriving at 6:15EST. Thanks to this site and everybody therein, all of our questions where answered and we even picked up a few "tricks" to make the whole process go faster.

They told her to come back in a couple of days to pick up her visa. So I'll be departing tomorrow to pick up my fiancé.

Best of luck to all of you and if anybody has any questions, feel free to contact me.

/Baroni

Congratulations!

Yes, thank you. I figured that out today. I called the NVC phone number, and entered my WAC reciept number from my USCIS NOA2 letter...it worked. It then gave me my NVC case #. But that's all it said.

Did you call the NVC and talk to a live person yet? If not then you probably should.

/Baroni

I called the NVC and spoke w/ a person and they gave me my case number over the phone.

My fiance is going to the consulate today to turn in her packet 3 forms beforee receiving the forms in the mail. She is going to give them the same DS-230 form that is on their website so I will let you know if she has any problems. I haven't heard of anybody having any problems though.

Also, of the forms listed only the DS-230 form (and the DS-2001 form) constitute the Packet 3. Those other forms need to be brought with her to the interview.

DHL found the documents yesterday as a result of the trace that I ORDERED. They where signed for at 3:30p yesterday in Rio de Janeiro.

My advice to everybody: STAY ON TOP OF YOUR CASE and IF YOU CAN AVOID HELP OR COMMUNICATION WITH THE NVC OTHER THAN W/ GENERAL CASE STATUS QUESTIONS, DO IT.

After thorough investigation I have discovered that DHL presently does not know the whereabouts of a package destined for the Consulate in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The NVC informed me that my paperwork had shipped on 9/8/06. So based upon estimates and timelines that are available on this site, I determined that my package should take 7-10 days to arrive at the Consulate in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. So I gave the consulate a call & e-mail on 9/15/06 and they hadn't received. I called and e-mailed the consulate again on 9/18/06 and they hadn't received yet.

So I began to investigate b/c it should have been there no later than 9/18/06. I contacted the NVC to obtain tracking information and they stated that they had no tracking information to give me. So thanks to this site I found a post here that stated that I could do a track by reference on the DHL website. So I put EXPEDITE NIV SECTION in the description field, w/ a date range of 9/8-9/11 and a tarrif point of Rio. I found only 1 package and the Current Status was still "In transit" and the last scan was mysteriously 9/12/06. So I began to think, "wait a minute, something is wrong here."

So before jumping to conclusions I looked at all of the other shipments that left the NVC on this date range be running a search w/o a tarriff point. I found that EVERY other package leaving the NVC on this day regardless of destination had arrived and had been signed for within 3-4 days. I also found that there was a package that was sent out on 9/12 and it arrived at the consulate in Rio on 9/14. There was no scan for this particular shipment as ever arriving in Rio de Janeiro as the last scan was in Miami, FL on 9/12. You can see it here's the tracking number: 9176623901.

Anyway, I contacted DHL on 9/18 around 7p and they where very helpful. An agent ordered a trace b/c he stated, "it should have been there by now". The supervisor was very helpful and he told me that they would need to check with Miami and Rio first to try to find the package and that this should take 24 hours but they couldn't guarantee how long it would take to find it. BTW, they gave me a case/ticket number to prove that there is a problem.

So I contacted the NVC thinking that I could inform them of this w/ the proof and try to get them to resend the documents. You wouldn't believe the resistence and the negative attitudes of the supervisory staff of the NVC. One lady her name is Liz attempted to feed me misinformation to discourage my inquiry. I was explaining to her my story when she rudely stopped me in the middle of it and stated that, "we need to receive written information from DHL stating that there was a problem with this shipment." So being the inquisitive and relentless person that I am, I proceeded to ask her, "have you ever seen these papers personally." She said, "no, but I'd assume that we would receive...", I abruptly but nicely cut her off and stated, "now you assume so since you can't verify the existence of such a letter then this is not proof enough for me." Then I proceeded to tell her once again that I had a ticket number from DHL and a tracking number. She continued to resist my inquiry but I continued to stand on what I knew was true. Finally, she folded and said that she would give the information that I had obtained to her manager, Lisa. She took down the tracking number and the ticket number that I had obtained from DHL. She stated that she didn't know if Lisa would get back in touch with me tonight but she would pass this information on to her to investigate further.

So I gave Lisa 1 hr. to contact me back and I didn't hear anything. So I called the NVC again and this time I got an agent and her name is Emily. Anyway, I requested to speak directly w/ Lisa the manager. So she placed me on hold then came back and said, "Lisa is unavailable right now for questions and Liz has told me to tell you this, and Liz also says that Lisa has followed up with the appropriate group and will have information for you on tomorrow night." When I asked what group they where sending this information to they said that they couldn't tell me that. Then I asked if they could pass this information along to the morning shift so that they could be aware of this and make some progress on this in the morning. Liz stated that she "WOULD NOT" do this and that she would take no more questions from me at this time.

So I contacted the NVC on 9/19 @ 7:30a to follow-up and I spoke w/ Ashley. She was nice b/c the agents are nice but the sups aren't. Anyway, I requested tto speak w/ a supervisor. Once again, another jackass supervisor sends a message back to Ashley stating that, "she has not been informed of anything by the night crew and that I would have to wait to follow-up with them tonight." WHAT THE HELL IS SHE TALKING ABOUT! This makes absolutely no sense to me. These people aren't helpful at all. Just b/c you haven't been made aware of this doesn't justify or give substantial reason not to take my call. So of course, I wouldn't give up. I stated what I just said in the sentence above and explained to the agent that I am simply trying to save time by going about this in the most efficient manner. So finally, the supervisor agreed to speak w/ me and her name is Sue.

So Sue jumps on the phone w/ attitude just like Liz from the night shift. I proceed to tell her that I have discovered a shipping problem w/ DHL and that I would ultimately like to have my papers resent to the consulate. She told me that she would need to verify the information that I gave to her by following up with a couple of "groups". I asked what the groups where and she WOULD NOT tell me. So for the second time, they won't tell me this group. Then she told me that normally they wait 10-12 business days before they make any moves in this area (it's been 7 as of this post). I came close to making her show me what rule, regulation, code, law, etc., that says this but I decided that I wouldn't go there. PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING. But, she certainly didn't offer to prove this statement so I did what I hate to do and that's accept what somebody says as TRUTH/FACT. So she told me to give her 24 hours to investigate this and that she would get back with me. She stated very meanly and with anger, "I will not resend any documents until I verify this information."

So I followed-up again w/ DHL at 9a on 9/19 and they where awaiting a word back from Rio as to the whereabouts of this package. Miami had contacted them back and the documents did make it on the plane but it was never scanned as received in Rio. So hopefully, by tonight I will have more information.

I have created this post so that if there are others out there who's paperwork could have potentially been in this shipment on 9/11/06, I'd encourage you to inquire about this. I'd assume that if multiple people inquire about this, then this might get done quicker.

I do have the name and number of the Director of the National Visa Center and if I have to go to this level within the next 24-48 hours, I will.

I WILL UPDATE THIS POST AS NEW DEVELOPMENTS ARISE.
