Okay guys! A little info you might find helpful. I mentioned before that it had been almost a month since our NOA1 and that we still couldn't view it online at CSC. So, when I hit 30+ days, I sent

I have to attach them, it says so in the instructions of packet 4.. but then again, I have to take it directly to the interview. Every embassy is different indeed.

Seems a rather excessive reaction ;)

I'm not sure if they come up at the initial I-129F background check, but they will definitely come up at the embassy. You have to provide information on all visits, how long you stayed (in days) and also provide information about any visa denials.

Cool - have a few letters regarding those details. Thanks for the heads up :thumbs:

FRIENDs and CO-JANUARY FILERS, Yesterday, June 2, 2011, was my Visa interview at the Manila, Philippines US EMBASSY..

VISA APPROVED!!! :dance::dance::dance: GOD IS SO GOOD FOR ALLOWING US TO BE TOGETHER! We are planning for me to leave by June 12 or 14 :) :) :) Now waiting for the passport with visa...

I would like to thank everyone for the support, VisaJourney has been such an incredible help, and having these kind of threads make the wait and the anxiety of preparation and all the pressure included in this journey, a little more bearable :)

May God bless us all, and I hope the rest of us go through APPROVED too! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

KEEP THE FAITH! :star:

Kata had a doctor's appointment today to get some of his vaccinations, but they told him that they would not give him an 'unnecessary' MMR vaccine (he had the full doses of it as a child). We'll see how that plays out at the medical (if the medical insists on him getting another one or not).

they will not insist on him getting them because these are childhood vaccines that you do not give to adults, even if they have never had them. These are for conditions that children are suseptable to. You can read what vaccines you need according to gender and age in the US Immigration Panel Physicians Manual. Look on page 12 of the manual at the following link. http://www.***removed***/immigrant-visa/technical-instructions-panel-physicians-vaccination-requirements.pdf

This is the SAME manual that ALL pannel physicians have as a guide for performing immigration medical exams.

Please everyone look at this Manual, especially the Vaccination requirements on page 12. They are according to age and gender. The needed vaccines are different for everyone!

DO NOT go and waste a lot of money by going to get ALL vaccines in advance that are on the list! You will waste money by getting shots that you do not need. Go to the following link to see what you need.

This is a manual and guide created by the CDC and U.S. Department of Health that ALL panel physicians follow!
