Hello Melbar,

Medical exam costs between 300-500 tl. It depends how many shots you are gonna get.. If you have a vaccination card, take it with you when you go to the medical exam, if you do not have any vaccination card, then it is fine, they will give you one once your medical exam is over, but do not forget to get one from them because you will need it for AOS.

You have a lot of evidence so i think that's more than enough, but DO NOT TAKE WESTERN UNION PAPERS, it might cause a misunderstanding, the immigration officer might think that you pay your USC wife/fiance to get a green card, so don't!

hope everything goes well with the interview,

good luck,

andz

melbar,

I have to disagree with the post above that states do not take Western Union receipts..... it shows that you were supporting her and she was helping you out... read on VJ what others say about money being sent Western Union. It is up to you...... Good Luck and let us know how everyting goes.

yes maybe it might show their support to each other, but seriously does he need that evidence? He has already got a lot of evidence, i don't think that that would be necessary. In my opinion, there is still a chance (small or big) that the immigration officer might misunderstand the situation so why would one take that risk especially he would already have a lot of evidence.. so yes it is up to you melbar, good luck to you again with the interview..

I agree with you melbar,

It is good to show that you are supporting one another in every aspect and that includes financially, after all you are married.....

If you were filing a K1 then I would use some discreation perhaps. As far as your answer to the CO, you just simply answer the truth, that you are supporting one another and my thought is and always has been that their is no "My Money and "His/Her Money". The truth is always the best policy, and they will see this at the interview!

I would say that if that is part of your relationship, the petitioner helping support the beneficiary, then why not take the western union documents. Only if it was the other way around, lost of monies being sent from the Bene to the petitioner, then I agree that could be misconstrued as payment for the visa. My personal opinion is that any evidence you can take to show you have a sound relationship can't hurt. I am so nervous about this whole process myself so everything and anything I can provide to my fiance that might help show and establish our relationship I'm sending him.

Hope everyone is doing well! Happy Thursday!!!

HAHA I'm so ready for the NOA2 packet. I'm just happy that the timing is so perfect right now since Bulut will be here and then be able to go to Turkey to finish his packet. I was worried that we would be delayed if he was away and couldn't get all of the materials when the NOA2 came. SO THRILLED!!!!!!!!!1
