Documents & Medical at St.Luke's

[cutie bear 2]

Last 02.14 I got the best Valentine's gift ever!!! Our petition was finally approved!!! Now we are moving to the next step.. I am gathering things that needs to be done before the interview. Here are my questions:

1. I had my NBI clearance last year (we thought the process would be like 2-3mos) and since this is valid for a year is it ok to not file or apply again?

2. I received my CENOMAR last year, same question. Do I need new one dated this year?

3. The vaccines listed in the medical examination instructions for immigrant visa, do I need to take all those 15 listed? Is it included in the $213.35 that I will pay?

Hope to hear from you guys!

Answers:

1.As long as it is still valid for 6 months. If not it's better to get a new one esp. if u don't know when ur interview is?

2. As long as it is authenticated and in a yellow NSO paper then it's okay as there is no expiration for that.

3. You don't have to take all the 15 BUT it's all included in the fee already so yes u can or u don't have to..it's up to u.

My NBI clearance will still be valid for 6 months but i decided to get a new one because i dont want it will mess up everything. About the CENOMAR you have to get a new one atleast not 2 months old before the interview because it will expire in 6 months. If its beyond 2 months they will think that you were on that 2 months and your visa will be on hold. Just put yourself on a safe for everything because the whole process, aside its too long ,depressing and stress. You dont have to mess up everything right? The medical, the doctor can tell what will be vaccines that u need. They will ask your medical experience. Just tell them the truth and they will give you right vaccines. Vaccines they will base on your age too. Usually they will give 4 vaccines

Thanks mjs84 and happyme! that's very helpful. I dont have to worry on getting all the vaccines because initially I thought I will have to go to a hospital, pay a doctor & get the vaccines.

No offense to u dear but CENOMAR has no expiration date as long as it's not 50 yrs. old it's good.Who told u that cenomar is valid for 6 months??

Also u are just starting ur journey and haven't had ur visa even yet. I been there ,done that so i am pretty sure what i said was true. Looks like u are not yet sure. I am already on the process of applying my citizenship and u are just starting.

Anyway good luck on ur journey.

You can't go to any hospital or any doctor of your choice. It's only St. Lukes and vaccines will be given to u for free since that is what u are paying for.
