His was DIP/TET/PO for polio.

I'll relay this to him, thank you again. Unfortunately he did go back through his childhood vaccinations and there is no record of him getting the pertussis vaccine. I'm not sure why that would be, as he was born in the 90's. But yes, this has to be in his hands. I have no way of contacting people over there. I'm generally the one trying to spearhead difficult tasks but I have to sit back on this one lol. It also sounds like since he got the DIP/TET/PO that might be sufficient...? I don't know, I'm just going to let things happen. We were trying to be proactive as he hasn't even gone to his medical exam yet so he can ask them when he does that to be sure. Take care and thank you again.

I am realizing that this whole situation is way over my head - I thought I would get a straightforward answer in here but I have concluded I have no clue how this stuff works in the UK, plus I didn't realize there were so many variations of these vaccine combinations. I told my fiance he's going to have to figure it out on his own because I am seeing all sorts of conflicting information everywhere and I don't have the knowledge to get answers. He's going to call the embassy tomorrow, tell them what exactly he received when he got his other vaccinations and find out what he needs. I realize you all are trying to give me useful information and I appreciate you taking the time to do that. This whole process has been so exhausting and frustrating. Thanks for trying to help me!

Look, he has the receipt for his vaccine. Maybe that's true in your country, but not his. His clearly shows "DIP/TET/PO", all in one. Don't need your toxicity in here.

He hasn't, but that is really good news if that is true! I told him to try and call the embassy tomorrow and ask them if he really needs it because every place he has contacted has told him they only offer Pertussis to pregnant women and children, so maybe he can just ask them about it there. Thank you!

he didn’t have it as a child. he needs it now.

DTAP and TDAP are not the same thing. The P in one stands for pertussis and Polio in the other one. The one he got is DTAP which includes Polio, so he still needs Pertussis since it is required. The list doesn't say dtap OR tdap... it clearly spells out Pertussis. This is why I am so concerned because no one wants to give it to him. I'm wondering if he tells them he will get it stateside that will be sufficient since he can't seem to get it over there. Thoughts?

yes, he received a list of required vaccinations.

Part of the list of required vaccines for my fiance in the UK is a Pertussis. Unfortunately he can't find anyone who is willing to give it to him because the doctors offices are insisting they are only available for children and pregnant women. I don't understand why the embassy would require this when it's not even available for men. Does anyone have any advice or a personal experience with this situation? We have everything else we need done before the interview, this is the only thing left. Thank you!

Ok, thanks that is super helpful! Well I'm going to have to do a bit more work because I don't live in the state where I got divorced anymore. I got divorced in Illinois and I moved to North Carolina since 2018 lol. I'll call the county tomorrow and ask them if there's some way I can order a copy online. I tried to check their online records website but when I searched for it, it said they don't have any record of it in their database. I'll figure it out somehow. But anyway thank you again for your assistance!

I have one other question if you don't mind. It says on this list that it requires my divorce certificate, Original or Certified Copy. I was previously married and I do have my original divorce decree, but there's no way in hell I am mailing that to the UK when the mail situation is so unreliable. Do you know if they really do want to see a certified copy and what that would look like? Like, is that something I can go to a currency exchange, have them make a copy and get a notary stamp on it? I'm not really sure what that means. Could you advise?

Thank you so much!!!

Hi everyone, I've got a few questions that I am struggling to find answers to and would appreciate some guidance. Our visa petition has been approved, and my fiance (UK citizen) received a list of items that he needs to bring to the interview. I'm confused at some of the wording and verbiage from the letter he received and want to make sure we get everything right so there's no problems. At the top of the letter, it says "Documents you are required to complete and provide for your K visa interview". The key words here are "you are required to complete and provide." We are not sure if the i-134 is a form that I, the American citizen, needs to complete or not because it says "You", while being addressed to my non-American fiance. So if someone could help clarify who is supposed to fill out this form (me, the American sponsor, or him, the UK citizen), I would really appreciate it. And in relation to this question, I was looking at the form and the very first question is "I am filing this form on behalf of: Myself as the beneficiary. Another individual who is the beneficiary", where we must tick a box for one of these options. But that is where the problem lies because I don't know who is supposed to be filling this out to begin with. Also, what is the definition of the word "beneficiary"? Is my non-American fiance the beneficiary or am I? Also, right after where it lists Affidavit of Support I-134 on the letter, it states "current tax returns". I'm not sure if they want my tax returns, his tax returns or both. They unfortunately gave little to no clarifying information for any of these things and I'm at a loss. I did try to search on here to see if anyone had asked about these issues before and couldn't find any prior posts related to a UK citizen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

thank you!!
