London 2012- K1s from NOA2 to interview thread

And you believe the yearly salary to be sufficient?

If it's just the two of you, the usual poverty guideline to meet and exceed is $18,912. You're providing proof of ongoing/current income, so you should be in the clear.

A couple of people have asked how I got on with entering the US on Saturday - I've posted more here:

So everything is slowly progressing for me, i had my medical 2 weeks ago today, and i have refrained from calling everyday to check up on logging and potential interview dates to avoid disapointment, but now 2 weeks has passed i feel like i should start making the calls, surely things will start happening now wont they ?

also, is it worth having my fiance make the call to check on my case seeing as though its am american number and will obviously be cheaper for her

thanks

I've just had a thought, i dont know why i didnt think of this sooner, my sponser for the affidavit of support sent me a document from his employer stating his start date and salary as well as stating that it is a permanent position, he also stated his salary on the I-134 form, now i'm worried that this wont be enough, what else should i ask for from him just to make sure this wont be the thing that slows down the process.

EDIT: i have requested he send me a copy of his latest tax transcript, will that combined with a letter of employment be enough ?

Thats awesome Congratulations

Just a question everyone...will be ringing the NVC soon to see if our case has been received If I get the case number I was thinking of booking the medical ready so after I receive "packet 3" I can just post everything off etc.

1 is this a good idea and 2 does the medical have an expiry date? I go to NZ on Christmas day till the 14th of Jan so I wont to book the medical for after then but then if I don't have my interview for a while does it expire.

You can do that. I wouldn't have the medical next day...like way before London gets your file, but you can choose a date that is before you leave for holiday. If you studied the first post in this thread then you know you must have your police certificate before the medical appointment. And getting your shots done prior to the medical is HIGHLY advised by me.

Already ahead of you got my shots done yesterday lol. I am waiting on my police certificate to arrive before I go ahead with booking the medical but I know once completed they send your results to the embassy and I didn't want the results to "be forgotten" before I send everything else in.

Hi there,

I have an appointment to see my NHS nurse next week, and I was wondering if there has been any update on what vaccinations are required when it comes to the AOS? I told the nurse about the following:

Td or Tdap (DT, DTP or DtaP)

MMR

Varicella

Influenza

Is there anything else I am missing? I am also asking them to make an official note (dated, stamped and signed) of the vaccinations I have got, would that be sufficent once it comes to the AOS stage?

Thank you!

[LeftCoastLady 441]

The varicella vaccination is rarely given in the UK and it's costly since NHS passes the cost on to the patient. If you've already had chicken pox, you'll have to tell the doc that so they can document it. Also, if you're getting the MMR, you may have to go back to get the second series if your Knightsbridge exam is a way off. The vaccines can be done by NHS, but the only thing that will count during AOS is having them recorded by Knightsbridge and using that document to show proof of the vaccines (or lack thereof in the case of the varicella).

The shot list in post #1 is still accurate. Tell Knightsbridge you had chickenpox and the varicella shot is waived (excused forever). MMR is a two dose immunization, but if four weeks haven't passed since shot #1 when you go to Knightsbridge, MMR will be marked "insufficient time interval" and USCIS will waive shot #2 forever. If you get shot #1 next week and four weeks pass before you go to Knightsbridge, then get shot #2 in order to be complete for AOS. The second shot has to come before Knightsbridge fills out your vaccination record. The nurse there will say just go back to NHS and mail the proof in with your AOS. That will not work. She doesn't know immigration details. USCIS does not take a proof from your NHS doctor. If it is due (because 4 weeks has passed) and it isn't on your Knitsbridge vaccination sheet, then you will pay a US Civil Surgeon lots of money to sign off in the US,

When I got my shots done Tuesday I mentioned Varicella and Influenza. I had chicken pox as a kid so this wasn't necessary and I shouldn't be in flu season when I plan on moving so I didn't bother with this. I had a MMR vaccine as a kid and my nurse told me that you need 2 to be fully covered for life so she gave me the booster. With the DTP, I was also given this (free of charge for both) and that was it. She updated my vaccine records there and then and printed me off a copy. I will be taking this with me to the medical to prove what I have had done since birth.

Yes, you sound covered.

You were 1 in 1991. God, I'm old.
