I believe the cenomar costs 400 pesos. Medical will cost you anywhere from $250.00 to $350.00 usd, and I hope I am wrong but I heard that the fee for the interview went up to $350.00 usd. So unless you are well off, start collecting those fees now. I am sending my fiance an extra $20.00 usd per week to help cover some of those costs. Good luck and God bless!!

hi. our case got approved june 21,2010. so we will be expecting hard copy of noa2, then our case will be sent to NVC and from there to Manila US Embassy in my country. I just want to ask for some advice what are the things i need to prepare as early as now? well, im trying to stay healthy for the medical. can i start collecting documents such as CENOMAR, NBI,BIRTH CERTIFICATE as early as now? does CENOMAR how expiration? how much would it cost me to request it?

Yes, it is time to prepare for your interview at the Embassy.

I also would like to ask about the vaccination that is included in the medical fee, the last vaccination i had was hepatitis B like 5 years ago. so i guess im gonna need to have that vaccine. will i need to get all those shots in one day? i was like OMG those are lists of vaccine and i dont know if i can endure all of it. funny this is, im a nurse and i always give shots to people. but getting all those vaccines in one day scares the hell out of me. i hope someone out there can enlighten me about this. thanks.

Yes, the cost of the vaccinations is included in the medical fee. You will be given your shots on the second day of your medical. There are only two or three shots. Your arm will be sore for a short time afterward.

as i've read the vacciness are not included in the medical fee... i am also a nurse and also wondering about all those shots..but majority of those in the list are already given to us when we were a baby..or if you had those disease before..maybe we can just get a booster shots for hepa b and tetanus..and meningococcal and other new vaccines in the list, we need that too... i think those vaccines are needed before the adjustment of our status from non-immigrant to immigrant.. but we both know that it will be cheaper if we get those shots here..just dont forget to get a proof of vaccination..

The cost of the vaccinations are already included in the medical fee. St. Lukes will give you two or three shots...that's all.

When you adjust your status (AOS), you don't need to get any more shots, and you don't need to get another medical exam either. When you AOS, simply find a Civil Surgeon who is familiar with the process. The Civil Surgeon will transcribe your record in about 15 minutes. We paid about $40 for the transcription.

Yup...the interview fee is now $350.

However, I believe the medical is still $213. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Good luck to everyone on this thread...and bring home the pink!

i hope the medical fee wont increase. i will be super broke if it will increase.

what else are the other expenses that u need to pay at the medical? i know there would be other extra expenses there.i just want to know coz someone told me to bring extra money. but how much would be extra money? would there be an over priced photocopy, or a specimen bottle maybe? hahaha i really dont have any idea.

What is CENOMAR? I also have my NBI ready, hope to have my interview before it expires :-(
