    You need to meet the requirements here - https://www.cdc.gov/immigrant-refugee-health/hcp/civil-surgeons/vaccination.html#cdc_generic_section_10-table-1-vaccine-requirements-according-to-applicant-age-for-civil-surgeons HTH.

    Hopefully it will be with you later today. But just checking, where were you born? Congrats to all! Glad to hear IL’s are rolling out. 👍🏻

    Yep, this is the best idea - or just return in the April as the OP mentioned, if that's an option. I think they're pretty strict on the 3 month requirement so wouldn't risk it personally.
  4. appleblossom
    Ah, ok. Still too early I'd say, but maybe ask the forum member I mentioned above if he's still waiting as his PD is a couple of years ahead of yours. Good luck.

    Then way too early to expect an interview if you were only DQ'ed in March. Unfortunately Lagos is very backlogged as above, it seems that backlog is coming down, but priority will be given to other cases (spouses etc). Here is another VJ member who is also F3 and waiting for an interview in Lagos, he was DQ'ed nearly 4 years ago and in April was still waiting for his interview date - https://www.visajourney.com/profile/446906-walewale/ Might be worth asking if he's had his IL yet. Good luck.

    That's sped up a lot then, it wasn't long ago that it was a couple of years wait. Seems they're getting through the backlog which is good.
  7. appleblossom
    What's your PD and what date were you DQ'ed?
  8. appleblossom
    There was no record of myself, my spouse, or my two children having it either (although I was ready with photos of spotty children just in case we were asked!). We weren't even asked about it in London, the box was just ticked to say we didn't need it.

    As above, Direct Consular Filing - which is what your profile says, and would also explain how you got an interview so quickly. If you aren't DCF then I think your interview may have been scheduled in error as it was much quicker than normal, so that may be why it was cancelled (when they realised their mistake). It's usually much longer than 3 months for a 'normal' case. For contacting them to enquire, here are their details. https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-CA/iv/information/contact_us Good luck.

    Did you get confirmation that your medical results had been received? You don’t normally get any kind of written approval, just a verbal one at the interview. It can take a couple of weeks for the visa to be issued and passport returned so there’s no need to worry at all if your interview was only a couple of working days ago. Keep an eye on your online status, when it changes to ‘issued’ you know the visa has been printed and put in the passport, it should then be received within a week or so. Your tracking number will be online when it’s sent. Good luck.

    Your profile says DCF, is that right?
  12. appleblossom
    What type of case, which consulate, and what’s your PD?
  13. appleblossom
    If you don't qualify for an expedite (pregnancy isn't a valid reason - as per the sticky thread), then there's nothing you can do other than wait it out I'm afraid. On the plus side, the NVC side of things is pretty quick at the moment, and I don't think Malaysia has a big backlog, so hopefully once the I-130 is approved the second stage won't take as long. How pregnant are you? Is travelling to your husband and staying with him in Malaysia an option?

    Scroll up - info is above, an engineer.
  15. appleblossom
    No, afraid not - it would be a guessing game for anybody really.

    So your Mom petitioned your aunt 12 years ago? If so, at least another decade. She needs to keep an eye on the Visa Bulletin to see when her Priority Date becomes current, she can’t be scheduled for an interview until it is. Good luck.
  17. appleblossom
    Not sure who you’re asking but it’s usually because a PD isn’t current.
  18. appleblossom
    I know, I meant in terms of just consular 'green card'/IV apps. Glad she's all sorted. 👍
  19. appleblossom
    Which consulate? I assume London from your profile but just double checking! If it's London then there's a long CR1 specific thread in the UK sub forum.
  20. appleblossom
    Only employment based IV's still get an envelope. On her visa it should say 'IV Docs in CCD', which means they've been sent electronically.
  21. appleblossom
    So the usual process then. 👍
  22. appleblossom
    Was it definitely an immigrant visa? Not a K1? If so I think it was just coincidence, as it’s NVC that schedules the interviews for IV’s.
  23. appleblossom
    Oh, sorry, I misread. Your time to DQ had nothing to do with the consulate though, that’s done by NVC.
  24. appleblossom
    Pakistan has a very long wait for interviews anyway, it's a couple of years I think - so you may not need to delay anything.

    If you were a citizen at birth, he didn't need to apply for anything for you (other than a passport if you wanted one). Sounds like he may meet the requirements to have passed citizenship on to you, but best to check it carefully yourself - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Acquisition-US-Citizenship-Child-Born-Abroad.html Were your parents married?
