    Hi again. Sorry to message you with two questions -- 

     

    My husband is now at the medical exam stage, and his interview letter came with only 9 business days prior to the interview. His medical exam in Portugal was completed as soon as possible (two business days later), but they told him they can't have the documentation at the consulate in time for the interview. Did this happen to you? If so, what is your experience with it and does it cause delays? 

     

    Also, the list of required vaccinations on the US immigration services website versus US state department website versus medical exam doctor are very different. Do you know which vaccinations were required?

    Hi, could I ask you a question regarding "given name" and "surname" on the DS-260 since you are immigrating from Portugal?

     

    In the US, the convention of First Middle Last makes it such that US passports list "Given name" as First Middle and "Last name" as Last. In Portuguese, however, all middle names are listed as "surnames" on the passport. In the DS-260, it says all information must match the passport/travel document. Does this mean that "Middle last" will have to be listed as my Portuguese husband's last name for his DS-260 form, even though his middle name is not really a 'surname'?

      Hi, thanks for the quick reply.  Do you have two first names then? Or is Cesar your middle name?

       

      Just a little confused, my husband's name is Marcelo Luc Simoes, and Luc has always been treated as his middle name, but on his passport his surname is listed as 'Luc Simoes'.
