HELLO to my fellow Canadians from the 'currently' sunny Vancouver!! kicking.gif

*I am a Canadian-K1-Beneficiary* (just so ya'll know that eh)

My medical in Vancouver, at 'WoKing Medical' is this week. I've already got my bank draft and all the other stuff ready.

QUESTION:

I know you can pay an extra $50 for a copy of your 'sealed envelope' for your AOS. Is this advisable to do? Has anyone actually done it, and used that 'copy' for their AOS?

Insert from Vancouver Consulate info...( which also included "WoKing Medical" info..)

*If you would like and extra copy of your sealed envelope just in case yours gets lost within the immigration system, you can bring an extra passport photo and $50.00. this is only if you want it for AOS which you tell them at the start of the medical*.

Looking forward to advice from CANADIANS ... and anyone who went through 'WoKing Medical', in Vancouver.

Thank you & Happy Journeys!

I had posted about this and someone sent me a message that they were one of the unfortunate ones who had their envelope lost so they wished they had done it. I know I will be doing it for a fact...

How long did it take for the consulate and interview stuff?

I would highly recommend getting an extra copy because it is common for the medical exam to get misplaced at the AOS stage and to re-do it would cost about another $200-$300!

I ended up getting an extra copy after you mentioned it. :P Fortunately they were able to mail me a copy after I returned home (just got it today).

Hi Terri,

Your original post about this information was very helpful. I think I will get a copy too. Piece of mind yes.gif

My medical is this Wednesday July 11th & consulate interview is Friday July 20th. (I'll let you know how it all goes)

Thank you Terri & thank you everyone else for the additional feedback.

Cheers & Happy Journey

As someone who went through the ordeal of having their medical lost by USCIS, I only wish this option had been available to me. Well worth it, in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing. I'm definitely getting a copy. These responses have been very helpful.

Off to the bank today to get that $50 bank draft. Then tomorrow, off to my medical.

So, do you mind me asking, what happened with the USCIS losing your medical?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Wow I have a tear!

... what?

So, do you mind me asking, what happened with the USCIS losing your medical?

I had to have a new one done and had to pay $280 for it. USCIS acknowledged that I'd had my vaccinations (I'd sent them proof when I filed for AOS) but they had absolutely no record of me having a medical exam back in Canada. I called Montreal to see if I could get another copy, but I was coming close to my year mark after the medical and they wanted to charge me over $100 to mail it. I said forget it and paid for another and sent off the results.

It's very irritating to pay for someone else's inability to do their job, so I highly suggest covering your butt and getting an extra copy! :lol:

I agree. Absolutely going to cover my butt, and thanks for sharing what happened.

BIG thanks to Terri (aka..at long last ) for bringing this information to light.

Cheers
