Thanks a bunch for the info and advice.

He was getting no where on the phone, so today he walked into a health clinic. He's getting his blood drawn right now for his titers. They told him once his titer results are back they will give him the shots he needs for immigration!

YAY!

I sent him today the things he needs to fill out and sign for the I-129, once I get his stuff back, I'll be filing!

My Husband had the titer test in Calgary. Basically he just went to a walk in clinic, told the guy what he needed and 2 weeks later he had the papers in his hand (so do allow 10 days to 2 weeks).

I assume, since he has been in AB for 5 years that he has his AB Health Care card - that is all he will need to get it.

Winnipeg schools said that they do not keep immunizations in the permanent school record. He does have an Alberta Health Card and insurance through his employer. The clinic he went to said they do not do Titers, and she could not give him any immunizations with out his records, since he has no records in Alberta they won't help him.

He is going to Medisys in Calgary if he can get off work soon enough to get there, they close at 3:30.

I'll find out more when he gets home and calls me.

We are making sure we have all our ducks in a row and he has all his paperwork even though I have not sent in the I-129 yet.

Well.... he has lost his immunization records. He currently lives in Calgary, but was born in and grew up in Winnipeg. He called Manitoba Immunization Records from a number he found on the internet and was pretty much told "Sorry we destroy records after 27 years". His family doctor he had while growing up has since retired and he can't even remember her name. He checked his high school transcripts and nothing is on there resembling a shot record. (My transcripts and my birth certificate have my shot records) I can't believe there is no record anywhere that shows he had immunizations.

I heard he could have blood Titers drawn and a certified letter from a doctor saying he has the antibody immunity to what he had vaccines for and would only have to take the Hep-B and Hep-A shots.

Yesterday he calls up Alberta Health to see about getting titers and the shots and was told "Sorry you're not from Alberta we can't do ANYTHING for you" But he's lived in Alberta for 5 years!

He does not have a regular physician, so he doesn't know who to call for help with this. Even if he has to take all the vaccines over again, Alberta Health refuses to do it period.

Any ideas? lol besides making a copy of one of his brothers records and changing the name

Hi!

I'm so glad I found this site!

My fiance recently proposed and we are in the process of gathering up all our information to file for his K-1 Visa.

I hope for my sake this all goes quickly because I'm an impatient person! Now that we are engaged I don't think I can go six months with out seeing him again!

I have been navigating about and found lots of answers to the majority of my questions. I'm so glad to know I'm not alone and there's lots of others out there going through the same issues.

Hi all!
