Hi

Just wanted to notify to people interested in this topic that I asked for the waiver for mumps, because trying to conceive and this beggining of january I realized I am pregnant!, I had the rubeola and measles vaccines in July in Mexico but I havent had any vaccine in the US! as I asked for the waiver, now they will need to give me the waiver because I am pregnant but I dont know if the process will be a little delayed because of it.

Hi All,

I am sorry I have been off with christmas and new years, I already got the NOA1s but not the biometrics, I wonder if it is because I asked for a waiver for mumbs which is the only vaccine I am missing, because of possibility of pregnancy and I just confirmed that I am pregnant!, I wonder if they will delay because of the waiver for the biometrics appointment as I seen many of you already have it!, I have already wrote our timeline, if you want to write it up on the spreadsheet!.

Thank you! and happy new year!

I understand that you need to wait for one to three months after the vaccine to get pregnant, to prevent a deffect on the child, but my question is more regarding if anyone that had already the vaccine had problems in getting pregnant, more regarding the fertility, as that is what I have been reading some articles about, that they are suspecting some effects in fertility.

So I wanted to know if someone that got the vaccine got pregnant easily or have had problems after the vaccine.

Hi itzy, I had my MMR vaccine last July and got pregnant on August. I don't think it has an effect on fertility Not for me, now that I'm 4 months pregnant

Thank you so much for your response!, yes I wanted to know if it has effects on fertility so I am very glad to hear somebody got the shot and is pregnant within a year of taking the shot! that is very encouraging, In general I am not very confidents in vaccines and would not want that a vaccines affects my fertility. I got the rubeola and measels on July so I would not have any problem getting pregnat after marriage, we have been married for 3 months and havent been pregnant and it seams that since I didnt get the mumps vaccine before, I need to have the MMR again just for the mumps since they dont have it separated. Doctors say there is no problems having the same vaccine twice in a year but, I dont trust in the

agenda sometimes governments have against population control and wanted to know if someone with a MMR vaccine done in the US recently was already pregnant after the vaccine, or also sometimes it seems some vaccines have had some fertility problems in some other countries.

So I am very glad to hear about a succesfull pregnancy

Great Thank you Gill, and Hi Everybody

I was a little bit lost with how the site works but I sent the package on December 8th, and still havent received any notice, but I see that it takes around 15 days right?

I would like to join the thread

I am a december filer, is this still the thread for december filers?

The lawyer I go to suggested expressmail usps service and track that it was received.

I sent mine but I have not had any response back even i tracked it and it was recieved and I sent it last tuesday.

I didn not need any vaccines for the K1 for my interview in Juarez Mexico, but I did measles and rubeola in Mexico 1 month before the interview since I knew they were going to require them for AOS, but I didnt applied Mumps but here in the US for AOS they requiere Mumps so it seems I have to have it again, is called MMR, measles, mumps, rubeola.

Itzel

I am on a K1 applying for AOS and I have been reading some articles on vaccines and fertility, specially MMR.

I wanted to know if anyone of you that had already the MMR have had any problem getting pregnant or also if you had MMR and got pregnant during the few next years.

Thank you

Hi there VJ,

I have a question regarding translating my birth certificate. VJ gives instructions on this and a sample form to certify this has been translated accurately... What I want to know is, do I have to take my birth certificate to a person/company that translates documents? I am fluent in italian and english so can I translate it? How does this work?

And.. What about the Birth Certfcate? Does it need to be certified or just a photocopy is fine?

Thank you very much to everyone!

Can you provide me the link to where the VJ instructions are for translating the birth certificate? I can't find it.

Yes I need that too! it would be very helpfull if someone tells where the instruction for translating the birth certificate yourself.

Hi it happend to me that it took more than 30 days from Nevada to the Consulate, I never knew exactly what happened but the way it was resolved was that I kept calling the consulate in my country in Mexico and they told me that they needed the new number which my fiance received my mail, so giving them that new number they told me that they had sent me already the package, almost like a month before but it never arrived to me, so they asked to resend the package to me, but it was already approved. My case was a K1

Itzel

Congratulations Teresa, I am sooooooo glad you have your visa now. Thanks for sharing your experience in the consulate. It will be helpfull for all of us who still are having our interview¡. When are you planning to travel to the US?

Itzel

My K-1 was approved today!!!!!!!!

Today was definitely a day that I will remember forever!

I arrived to the Consulate around 7:15, my interview was at 8:00 am. I was assigned the No. 3 and entered the Consulate until 9:00 am, later they called me to the first window, where they checked my papers, everything was in order... UNTIL the woman (who was guatemalan), told me that I had not realized we needed a co-sponsor, I responded quickly "No, we don't". Later, she started to "explain", if that can be called explain, because she obviously had no idea what the heck she was talking about, that my fiance's 1040 of 2006 did not report enough income, then I explained her that the reason was that my fiance is in the military and was deployed in 2006 and he was exempt of paying federal taxes during that year, but he did file for the forms anyway, I offered to show her a letter signed by his commander, and she refused. I told her, why do we need a co-sponsor, even if you want to believe that he did not have enough income in 2006, which isn't true, he DOES meet the income TODAY, you can see it on the I-134 and his employment letter, she said NO, we need the tax declarations, and then she said: "If he is marine ( I never said he was a marine, so I don't know where she got that from), and did not pay taxes then he CAN NOT BE YOUR SPONSOR" I tried to explain her again, in the nicest way I could, but I was getting really upset at this point, this woman was talking non-sense! I said, so just because he was in the military overseas he can not be my sponsor now? eventhough he DOES meet the requirement today (and back then he did too!), she said.. well if you want to, you can debate that with the Vice-Consul, I'm advising her that your application is incomplete and that you must come back another day with a new I-134 and tax declarations of a co-sponsor! Then she put a big yellow paper with her recomendation on my file.

I was beyond upset! I went back to the waiting room and took a sit for 1 loooooooooooooong hour, I waited and waited and went crazy, trying to figure out where did she got all that ####### from?

When the Vice-Consul called me by my name, to my surprise...she was sooo nice to me! She smiled at me and said hello in spanish, the interview took less than 10 minutes, she asked:

How did you meet?

How many times have you been in the U.S.?

How many times has he been in Guatemala?

Does he speak spanish?

Do you speak english?

What do you do in Guatemala?

What does he do, besides being in the N.G.?

She reviewed all the papers, asked about my fiance's deployment, asked again if he was still in the N.G. I gave her the letter that my fiance's commander signed. She did not ask me ANYTHING about the tax forms! She just checked them and checked the rest of the papers too, she was not saying a thing... and I was starting to get more nervous. And then.. she grab the yellow paper.. and threw it away!!!!! I was soo anxious for her to say something! Then she finally talked to me again. she said: "I will cancel your tourist visa, because you will receive your K-1" I had a huge smile on my face when she said that! Then she said: "Everything is in order, CONGRATULATIONS! You have to come tomorrow at 3.30 pm to pick up your passport and visa and rest of the papers"!!!!!!!!!!! I was sooooooo happy and wanted to get out of the consulate ASAP to call Eric!!!!

I could not be happier about the approval, but I'm still wondering why does the Consulate has this type of local employee's and does not even mind, about explaining them the rules! And the worst part is that this guatemalan lady, is the same person who replied to an email I sent to the Embassy a long time ago, where she gave me the wrong requirements for the interview (she thought I was applying for residency) I know because I asked for her name on that ocassion after I was aware of her mistake, and today when I saw the yellow paper she filled out it had her name on it too!!!! I wonder if the Consulate ever realizes what kind of inepts the have working there!

Thank you for responding to me, I just came back from visiting Andy in the US and I had not reviewed the responses, I was able to come in to the US without problem by land this time through Bronswille, it was not hard at all, I followed your suggestion Teresa for not saying anything they dont ask, and everything went very easy. But yes, It seems I cant come in on a B1 or B2 after the k1 is issued.

Thank you all for your help.

Itzel

I received my NOA2, I was able to enter the US prior to the acceptance of the K1, we are planning to get married in September, I was planning a week in June or July again to the US, can I enter as a tourist if my fiance visa is already given to me, so that I come back and enter again at the beggining of september but now with the fiance visa, since I have 90 days to get married?

Thanks for your help.
