Congrats lil-lost-girl!

[KJC 1]

I sent the packet 3 forms and checklist today, so should I expect and interview date within a couple of weeks?

Also, I sent it to "Immigrant Visa Branch, United States Embassy, 5 Grosvenor Street" etc. I'm assuming this is correct?

Hi

Is anyone here aged 18-26 and female?

I just had my medical today in London and heard about the HPV requirement for the first time. We have to have the vaccine and its 3 courses spread over 6 months at a cost of £120 a does!

What i'm not sure is if we have to have all 3 doses before we can adjust our status? I am turning 26 March 8th so I will be in the age range required. My visa interview is March 12th so I had hoped the adjust my status around the end of May.

Do I have to have had all 3 doses before I adjust. The nurse at the doctors surgery said if i had had the first one it shouldn't be a problem, but i don't think she really knew.

Please can someone tell me if I need all 3 before I adjust? And does it have to take 6 months to have all 3?

Thanks!

i had just turned 27 at my medical so I escaped the HPV.

[DonnaB 0]

I can't believe I just found out about this - I'm not 27 for another year so there's no way I can avoid it.

I'm so worried now this is going to force everything back. I'm trying to find out if I need all 3 jabs before AOS and if I can have the 3 vaccines in a shorter period then 6 months? I'm going to get the first jab tomorrow to get the ball rolling but my dream of AOS at the end of May could not happen

Any advice would be appreciated.

Donna, I'm outside that age range too but here's what I found about vaccination requirements in general:

K and V nonimmigrant (temporary) visa applicants. Individuals applying for a K nonimmigrant visa as the fiancee or the spouse of a U.S. citizen or for a V nonimmigrant visa as the spouse or child of a lawful permanent resident (LPR) (including those applying for V status in the United States with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services) must undergo a medical examination, but are not required to comply with the vaccination requirements at that time. They will be required to comply with the vaccination requirements when they eventually apply for adjustment of status. Source: here

I am not sure whether you have to have the vaccinations in order at the time of applying for AOS or when scheduled a medical. This might be a question to ask in the AOS forum.

Also, as regards the vaccine. Talk to your GP because according to the NHS the schedule is flexible. The second dose can be given 2 months after the first. The third ideally at six months but there is some flexibility. Here's some info on that:

The vaccination will be given as an injection into the muscle of your child's upper arm or thigh. Three doses are needed; if your child does not have all three injections, they may not be fully protected. The second and third doses will ideally be given two months and six months after the first. This dosing schedule can be more flexible; your GP can give you more information. Source: here

hope this is of help. I'm rather glad I'm old

Thanks so much for your post.

Seeing it in writing on the NHS Direct website that there can be some flexibility in the timing of the doses of the vaccine is great news! Hopefully i'll be able to have all 3 in more like 5 months - that way they'll be done in time for my AOS.

Fingers crossed

Hey everyone!!! Good News!! My husband is APPROVED!!!!!! I woke up at 5 am waiting for the call and he finally called at 7 am.. He was there from 9am-12 PM (UK time). So all in all it took 3 hours for the interview process. They asked for some documents at the first window. Then he waited for a few hours. Then they asked him questions about where I live and if he's going to work when he gets here and if he swears that all the documents are true. Then he was approved and the visa should come in the post on Thursday. Then he leaves his job next Sunday and visits his family before he flys here on the 21st!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone on here for being so great!
