Zee I am older....and you are on punishment!!!

I got the info ladies and the PM's. I am at work and will respond this evening when Big Brother is not watching.

Thanks guys!!!!!

Don't worry ladies...I am here to save the day :D

The medicals need to be completed at least 3 weeks before the interview only so that you make sure to get the results. Inusah got his about 10 days after going to the medical but they do say to wait 2 weeks I think. Samuel will have to take the results with him to the interview, they no longer send them from the clinic.

What we did was we had the medicals at Holy Trinity, the vaccinations at Akai House and blood test at Medlabs. They will do all kinds of tests as required by the US government including HIV and drug tests. You can do the vaccinations and medicals at Akai House and the lab tests at Medlabs but that ends up being more expensive (by 30 or so Ghana cedis). Inusah did not make an appointment, he just went and waited but he managed to get everything done in one day.

Don't worry about not getting all the vaccinations done in time. The people at Akai House will give you a completed vaccination worksheet which will be accepted by the embassy but your fiance will have to go back at later dates to get everything done. If not, when he comes to the US you may have to finish the series.

I will also PM you the phone number for Mr. Ray. He is a nurse at Holy Trinity who is basically the guru of everything related to US immigration. He was very helpful when Inusah went. I'm sure Samuel can get some answers from him.

That African Time is a killer, isn't it? I remember I used to freak out like crazy when all of the paperwork handling was in his control. Zainab, I'm a big control freak, too (when it comes to paperwork and getting things done) and he loves to take his slow time. The whole visa process is stressful by iteself and his "get it done whenever" attitude used to send me over the edge, lol. He would wait until the last minute to get his medical done, he would wait until the last minute to do this or do that. He would wait until the last minute to do everything!!!!

Well, okay, so maybe it wasn't exactly last minute, but I felt that it would be better to have everything done way ahead of time, while he felt that he could wait. It would drive me insane. We would schedule for him to drop his forms off at the embassy and I'd call him only to find out that he got there too late because he decided to shop first. :angry::bonk: Then of course, he would be busy for the next 2 days and couldn't drop it off until later in the week. That used to boil my blood. He was so relaxed through the whole thing, while I was over here having a fit and ready to fly to Liberia to do it myself. *deep breaths, Shaun...count to 10*

Sorry, I'm just getting a bit worked up over this again, lol. Ya'll had me having flashbacks for a second.

Thats ok girl....have your flashback. LOL! Its good to know someone understands.

Ok, apparently things have changed since we went through everything. When we went he couldn't bring his own medical records, they had to go striaght from the doctor's office. This was a major cause of delay. Perhaps that's why they changed it. Also about about the vaccinations. Some of us got through without all the vaccinations being done and others did not. It was like a good day bad day situation.

I would get everything done as soon as possible.

the darn thing will explode because its probably over heated from so much usage!" :lol: I was LMAO!

:blink:

Oh my God! I just was wondering about that because my phone gets so hot. But Bassi said it's just the battery getting hot and not to worry about it. What if something like that could really happen? Lord, you just gave me something else to worry about. :wacko:

I was talking on the phone and cooking and it fell in a pot of stew! I had to hang up! Can you believe it? After I cleaned off the phone I called back, of course, but my phone has really had a rough time of it. I decided not to get a new one until he's here. What's the point of destroying another phone already?
