We got our NOA2 , now working on the next stage in the proces.

Does someone knows how it works with the vaccinations ?

Are we getting shots at the physical examinations in Amsterdam, or do we have to go to the GGD for that ?

And what to bring to the physical examination , vaccinationbook from our youth and militair passport ?

Hi there! You can either get the vaccs yourself before the med exam, or you can get them during the med exam. From what I've heard, it is cheaper to get it beforehand though, as they are more expensive during the med exam. You have to bring along to the exam all evidence of previous vaccinations.

Another US/Dutch couple here. I am in the Netherlands (Northern part) and my fiance is from PA. We are gathering the papers for the K1 and are hoping to file this week.

Mmhmm that is the number he called. It's the standard number they give you for pretty much anything. I've called it several times during our K1 application as well. Now was this e-mail sent after you

My apologies in advance in case I'm misreading all this, but are you saying the medical exam costs 1070 dollars?

I thought you had to pay in euros and it was only around 240 euros (excluding any vaccinations). And the shots aren't 100 euros each, are they? Getting little scared here haha.

Our journey so far:

Looks like 195 euro according to the pdf. Mhm, I'm probably not reading well enough.

Hey guys!

Here an update about our current situation!

I moved to America on April 7th and got married on April 11th! :) (YAY!)

We sent all the paperwork for the Adjustment of Status (AOS) including the Application for the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and the Application for Travel Document. They received it on May 30th and got NOA's on June 16th.

Then I got a letter with an appointment notice for the biometrics. I received this on June 19th and had my appointment July 8th.

I completed that and now we're waiting again. Anyone know if we had to do something after the biometrics? Like sent it somewhere of does that all go automatic?

I'm glad to hear that so many of you have been approved and are one step closer to living with their loved ones.

Also I want to say R.I.P to the victims of the horrible plane crash on July 17th. Stay strong to anyone who is closely effected by this.

- Britt
