[notmrshamiltonnow 0]

Good am every 1.. hope all is going well.. I have a question. Are vaccines needed @ the time of the medical if your family is coming on a K3 visa, my hubby says the back of the letter he got from the Jamaica embassy says " if you are doing a AOS in the US, vaccines are not required" but @ the medical appt yesterday, he was told both of his girls needed vaccines, which is costing an arm and a leg there. Thanks for any help given.. Blessings

K3, depending upon what vaccines he has had will dictate what they require.

He is ok, but they said the girls were ok for school purpose, but not for traveling to the states

Did they go for medical already? Just get the shots when they go for medical and get it out of the way... Each country has a list of required vaccines to travel to the US... If they dont have the shot.. they dont get the visa....

yes they went yesterday.. that's when they were told that. The medical office is allowing them to come back today to fisnish the shots, but my husband was saying it is costing $ 437.00 us for the shots.. so that's why we want to make sure they are needed.

Officially a "K" visa has NO vaccination requirement...

I just checked and there are no vaccinations required for any visa or travel from Jamaica to US unless They are going through an infected country to get here... they likely just want the cash from you...
