Thanks for that information, that was how I presumed it would go. If the doctor at the medical decided I were to get a vaccine, do you know if they can administer it there and then?

Hello, I am looking for information from anyone who has applied for a Certified Criminal Record Check For Personal Use from the RCMP in Canada from overseas with a view to supplying this as evidence during the IR-1 visa process. My understanding of the process is as follows: Fingerprints from Police Station Send to RCMP through third party website RCMP review and send the criminal record check back via mail. The issue I am having today in Melbourne, Victoria, is that I visited the police station to get the fingerprints and I did not get the fingerprints on a Canadian form but on one that is letter headed Police Victoria. Does anyone know if this is sufficient? Separately, the vaccination list on Travel.State.Gov is as follows: Hepatitis A Hepatitis B Influenza Influenza type b (Hib) Measles Meningococcal Mumps Pneumococcal Pertussis Polio Rotavirus Rubella Tetanus and diphtheria toxoids Varicella I have checked with my doctor and I have not had a tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, is it recommended to get vaccines before the medical examination before the interview? Additionally, I haven't received a Varicella vaccine because I had chickenpox as a child and the Rotavirus vaccine isn't recommended for adults, has anyone encountered this before?

Thanks for your reply! That helps ease some anxiety on our end. I would only want to interview in London due to how it would be faster - I understand there will be at least 4 weeks of a delay to transfer to Sydney and if they're running slower than London for interviews, it may make sense to do the interview in London.

Hello - This one is quite complicated so bear with me on it. My wife (US citizen) and I (U.K. citizen) submitted an I-130 in January 2025 from the U.K. but as of December 2025 have moved to Australia as a stopgap between moving to the states. We anticipate the I-130 to be approved at some point between March and May 2025 but as we all know, nothing is certain. We both have jobs in Australia, leased accommodation and a visa that expires December 2026. For the NVC stage, I understand that we could move this to the Sydney embassy but it may be quicker for us to get approved through London instead - I anticipate the interview could be as early as July 2025. My mother-in-law will be a joint sponsor and my wife has maintained her tax records, bank accounts, voting and other ties to the states. Questions: Am I still able to do the NVC stage via the London embassy? I believe I am still classed as a resident in the U.K. but I do not have a U.K. address (but I do have access to my parents home). If I were to travel from Australia to the UK for the NVC stage, my wife would prefer to go to the US at this point, would this be possible? Has anyone done this before, where they're a temporary resident in another country and traveled back to the country of application submission? The address where I applied for the I-130 is no longer where I or any family members live, do I need to inform the USCIS of this? I know I should change the address but I am reluctant to do this without the advice of this forum. Any sort of clarity would be helpful.
