Hey everyone.

I went ahead and updated the January filers list for anyone who didn't update themselves.

Glad to see things moving along.

Still stressful here for us.

But hopeful.

I am also planning on visiting the US at the end of June, and i think and hope ill have NOA2 before then, but i am under the understanding that aslong as you can proves ties to your home country them you will be ok...

It only becomes an issue after you have the visa affixed in your passport as a k1 only permits one entry.

Just got my packet 3 letter from the consulate today. Things are moving fast!

Things I'm working on:

- Printing out packet 3 forms and getting them ready to fax back.

- Getting a criminal record check from Australia (spent a year there). They say it takes 30 days to process, plus mailing time. Am a little worried this is going to be the thing that slows everything else down. Have to get fingerprints done locally and then mail them to Oz.

- Getting a varicella immunity blood test, to see if I need the chickenpox vaccination or not. Takes about 5 days. Then:

- Getting the other immunization I need. Then:

- Scheduling my medical

- Getting passport photos taken

- Getting my local criminal record check done

- Hustling my fiance to get his affidavit of support and our co-sponsor's affidavit together and in the mail

Already ordered my long form birth certificate -- that only took a couple weeks.

Weee!

What vaccines do we need to have?? If you don't mind me asking.

No, I don't think it will be an issue. They can't tell at what stage your application is in. Your NOA1 date is the day after ours. I sure hope this means ours is on its way! SO excited for you!!!

What vaccines do we need to have?? If you don't mind me asking.

You can look back further in this thread and there is a link i posted about what vaccines you will need. It really depends on your age and gender on what you need. (for example my fiance does not have his childhood shot records but he does not have to repeat most of these because of his age).

Does anybody know what paged I posted that link on?

Actually wait, I just found the link again http://www.***removed***/immigrant-visa/technical-instructions-panel-physicians-vaccination-requirements.pdf

go to page 12

also keep in mind that vaccines taken within less than 6 weeks of interview will not count

I faxed in my checklist today and got an email back from the consulate in Vancouver. I love those guys! I paid the fee on the website and booked my interview: June 24.

They had earlier appointments (the earliest was May 31 -- 20 days from today), but I want to make sure to leave enough time before the interview for that danged australian criminal record check to get back (and enough time after the interview to get my passport back).

This move is getting so close I can smell it!

Re: vaccinations:

the woking medical clinic in vancouver has the most straightforward breakdown of the vaccinations that I've seen so far, on their web page. Not sure if the same list would apply for people outside of canada, but perhaps other clinics have good web pages too.

also keep in mind that vaccines taken within less than 6 weeks of interview will not count

Where did you read that? I haven't come across that -- the Woking clinic just says to arrange to get immunized before your medical, and to bring the immunization records with you.
