Thank you so much for your information.
 
It is so helpful.
 
You make this website great and you're such a good human being for helping everyone.

Yes I got the flu shot!!!

Your good to go except one question; did you get the Flu vaccination?
 
When does the flu season start for purposes of the seasonal flu vaccine requirement? Since the seasonal flu vaccine is required, do I have to get the seasonal flu vaccine if it is not the flu season? 
 
A.  For purposes of the immigration medical examination, the flu season starts on October 1 and ends on March 31 each year. If your immigration medical examination is during this period, you are required to have the seasonal flu vaccine. If you have an immigration medical examination completed between April 1 and September 30, when it is not the flu season for immigration purposes, you are not required to document that you have received the seasonal flu vaccine.

I already have an answer for your fist question. I got an instruction letter from the physician saying the medical examination costs 245.000 pesos (76 dollars) and if you don't have your vaccinations up to date you can pay 340.000 pesos (105 dollars) to get them there.
 

If they tell me to repeat the shots today I will pay for them... I just brought my vaccination records and titers to see if they approve them. I have heard they mostly approve them...
 
I'll let you know later-

Hi! 
 
We got them at the Clinica Pediatrica Colsanitas (Cl 127 #20-56, Bogotá) and they were kind of expensive but way cheaper than they would be at the medical or in the USA.
There were some required vaccines that I already had but didn't have the Carnet de vacunas and I got titers (immunity tests) which are blood tests that show that you have the vaccine. I got those titers through my medical insurance (Colsanitas)
 
Let me know if you have any questions

Ok so we’ll just see what they want him to get and pay for it and that should work? 

That's cheap. Philippines charges $265 for everything. Herein lies the problem. You have done your research and I commend you for doing so. Others, are just reading your post and assuming that it will work for them and guess what, just like everything else their mileage varied from yours and they are now stuck. That sometimes is the problem with advocating something without a disclaimer attached. Just saying.

Here are two questions that you need answered today at the medical. 1. does the exam fee include the vaccinations. 2. do they supply the DS-3025 to you based on your vaccinations from outside? If you could get those two questions answered it would help you and me to understand completely the process. I have some who are PM'ing me with their stories and it isn't looking good. JMO

See my post above.
See my post above.

You will save yourself a lot of problems once in the states if you just have the vaccinations done at the Embassy's choice of medical center that you will use for your exam. There are people out there that are PM'ing me with their horror stories about not getting the proper endorsements so they can have the DS-3025 for their AOS.
 
Don't be pennywise and pound foolish!

Definitely interested to know. My fiancé’s shot record is lost and he doesn’t have a regular doctor to get titres from ahead of time 😬

Thank you. I am very curious to the outcome as I don't want you or anyone else take a short cut and fall of a cliff if you know what I mean.

Can I start working on the DS-160? Don't I need an NVC case number to fill it out?
 
Also, should I start calling after 10 days of NOA2?
 
Thanks 
 

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH @Greenbaum!!!

Hi @Greenbaum, could you help me ? Thank you so much!

She totally tried to immigrate on a tourist visa. Glad they caught her and sent her packing. Pisses me off when we wait months sometimes years doing it the right way and some prissy tries to get around it but it makes me happy when they get denied. 

Case Status: Ready!!!!! Woohoo Only two days since NVC sent it out! My fiancé and I are so flippin excited!!

Interview scheduled for November 13th!
