Q's about the medical

[MGW 0]

Hi all.

I am just wondering how long the medical results are considered valid? I have read 6 months and I have read 1 year. Anyone know for certain? Where does it say? I am just wondering if there is much point in getting that out of the way sooner rather than later. Any idea what the cost is for vaccinations? I am sure I will have to get a few of them as my vaccination records prior to 1999 have been destroyed.

Also curious if there is anyone who has or will be doing the medical in Winnipeg? How was your experience? Any comments on either of the 2 doctors there?

Thanks,

Michele

For K-Visa holders it is 1 Year.

Foe example Form I-485 used to adjust status has this:

8. Fiancé(e)s.

If you are a K-1 fiancé(e) or K-2 dependent who had a medical examination within the past year as required for the nonimmigrant fiancé(e) visa, you only need to submit a vaccination supplement, not the entire medical report.You may include the vaccination supplement with your adjustment of status application.

HOWEVER, for CR-1/IR-1 visa you get medical done at the place that the consulate specifies, usually within a few weeks before visa interview.

You can get tested for immunity to what is being vaccinated for, the test is called a titer test.

I am waiting for the CR-1 (in small town MB, Canada).

So I can go ahead and get whatever vaccinations I might need now but if I understand you correctly, there is no point in doing anything about the medical until I get packet 4?

Am I correct in assuming that I could get the medical done in Winnipeg (I know there are 2 doctoers there) even though I know I have to go to Montreal for the interview (all Canadains applying for the CR-1/IR-1 are interviewed in Montreal.)

thanks,
