Hi, it looks like you two have been waiting about the same amount of time as us- you must be thrilled to finally have a date. I know we are!

We are just trying to schedule the medical today/tomorrow. They sent us a form to fill out- do you know what "Case size" means?

We just sent an email yesterday, and yesterday evening got a reply that we needed to fill out a form and attach a passport size photo when returning the form (we initially had to attach our appointment letter and scan of passport bio page).

We are pretty sure it is asking if there are any other people attached to that case- for instance if there any dependents. So it would just be one unless there are other family members on the same case.

Most certainly that's what they mean. I'm a K1 with 2 dependents and I was asked the same.

Good morning. I have a question please. My fiancé just paid $490 USD for his medical exam fee & vaccinations at the IOM in Nairobi. That cost seems exorbitant! Has anyone else paid that much?

Good morning Rayneflower. The fees depends on the number of vaccinations. For us (self & 2 kids), we paid a total of $850. My daughter needed 6, son and self 5 each.

Hey Mr/Mrs, did you get your medical appointment set? They gave us one only one week before the interview but when we tried to make it earlier they just told us one week is enough time.
