Ukraine medical price hike

[vbtwo 54]

Boo! Starting from Apr 1, the price for the medical goes up to almost double.

Used to be $125 ($110 for kids), now it's $215 (for everyone).

In the instructions there's also now a pretty detailed explanation of what tests are done, how long it takes to get results, etc.

Yep, I noticed that in the instructions that were sent to my fiance. Fortunately we have her appointment scheduled for tomorrow.

From the document:

Effective April 1, 2013 the medical examination fee will be $215 USD for all applicants regardless of age, excluding vaccination fees. The medical examination fee prior to April 1, 2013 is not more than $125 USD per person, excluding the vaccination fee for adults and children. The fees for medical examination and vaccinations are paid in Ukrainian Hryvnya only. The fees can be paid at the following address: 8 Mykhaylivska street.

It was $85/$100 when Alla and the boys went. Unfortunately it is a fact of life that the price of this process goes up in time. Although that IS a big jump, nearly 100%.

At any rate, all the fees you pay will be worth it and will also be the lowest cost part of this process.

For those not at that point yet I will say again, to minimize your costs and trouble later...have your Ukrainian fiancee get ALL needed vaccines in Ukraine well before she has the medical and bring those documents with her. They will transcribe all her vaccines onto the DS 3025 for her/him and you will be all set for AOS when they arrive. There is no cheaper, faster or better way to do it.
