You said originally that your wife was gonna have her medical done at Cho Ray Hospital -- so did your wife get there and they told her that the hospital doesn't go immigration medical exam anymore? This is news to me. Also, did your wife go to the International Quarantine service to get her "yellow immunization record"?

Thanks Daniel.

At first she thought it was at CHO RAY Hospital, and when she shows up early in the morning. Her lawyer/person-prepare-paperwork told her to go to IOM instead of Cho Ray Hospital. They told her IOM is for IMMIGRATION MEDICAL EXAM ONLY, (not CHO RAY). I am not sure this is truth or not?

She didn't mention anything about "yellow immunization record", and I really don't know what that mean? Sorry, I can't answer that question?

[Lý Trinh 0]

So according to this, so Cho Ray Hospital now doing the medical exam no more? But now we have to go to IOM to taking care of the Medical Exam. This is news to me. But thanks for the infor.

[toddandhien 2]

Cho Ray IS doing the medical exams, as is IOM. My fiance is going to Cho Ray today (VN time). She went on Tuesday and they said they were too busy to see her and gave her an appointment for 1 PM today.

Here is what I believe is happening based upon a few stories I have heard from others: The agents/helpers are getting kickbacks from the medical centers somehow for steering visa applicants there for the exams. There is no middle ground with these people...they will say to the young ladies that they HAVE to go to one or the other. Irritating but on par for VN.

Go to either facility but first you have to go and get your vaccinations...then go for the exam. And it is not always two shots. Hien got only 1 and they said she was good to go to the US. varies from person to person.
