Yes you can. You just need to clearly mark and separate each package with their respective cover sheet if you are sending them in the same envelope. It will not hold the process per se but a lot of people here like to send each packet as soon as possible so that NVC may start reviewing right away.

Thanks for that!

Also, we are in the process of collecting my husband's police certificates. I heard that the NVC will accept a "copy" of a police certificate. Does anyone know if this is true?

Thanks again.

Yayyy! I'm watching you tooo! Our lawyers have had a death in the family and are away this week :( I feel bad for them but I still want to get this thing moving along! Can the paralegal pay?

I don't see why not it's just a payment and why can't you pay it if they are away? I think either one is fine but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Earlier i answered this question as 'YES', as if you input a 'NO' there, you will have to explain it and giving ans as 'NO' was something that gives me feeling that it can be rejected.

But then i searched forums here on VJ only and people have mixed responses.

Many of those have filled 'Yes' (reason was you will have your medicals done once you will at interview) and many as 'No' (reason was as you are filling this information right now, you don't have any proofs of this, so you should not enter as NO).

Then i liked a couple of responses that were quite meaningful and i went ahead with those.

ANSWER IS:

I selected a 'NO' with the explanation that, AS OF TODAY, I DON'T HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION TO ESTABLISH THAT I HAVE RECEIVED

VACCINATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. LAW SINCE MY CASE IS STILL IN PROCESS AT THE
NATIONAL VISA CENTER. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS TO TAKE THE MEDICAL
EXAMINATION. ALL VACCINATIONS RECORDS WILL BE BROUGTH TO INTERVIEW AFTER MEDICAL EXAM IS COMPLETED.

I would enter no with an explanation I think it's better and honest. How long are the vaccinations good for I wonder?

If you have not received vaccinations when you were a child (or do not have documents to prove it) you should answer NO. Then explain, that vaccination records not available and will be done during Medical.

Also, it is much better to take the vaccinations in a vaccination clinic or with a family physician before the actual Medicals - much cheaper and you can space it out over several weeks. Then carry this documentation to the Medicals. If you are still missing a few, they can give them during the Medicals.

Oh wow I didn't know you could do this thought you had to have them done with the Dr's the Embassy has a list for. Nice I'll will tell my husband then since they last a life time it seems. Thank you so much. :) I'll have to find the list of vaccinations needed. :)(F)

If anyone has the list I won't be upset if you post them. ;) Will look on Saylin's list. :)

Ok found it but seems that it would be better to see what the Dr's say since they can give you only what is needed due to your age and health so

you might not have to have them all done. Hummmmm what to do. <_<-_- I'll see what my husband wants to do it's his arm. ;):rofl:

Many a folks here suggest to get the vaccinations done in a clinic before the medical itself, but to be very frank, i always have a doubt in mind regarding this.

1. If i get the vaccination in a clinic, will they be acceptable (i mean will they be according to US standards). Also, am ready to pay more to the doctor during medicals, but don't want to get extra vaccinations again if the doctor says that its not according to US standards (which they can obviously say, to make money).

2. I am not sure about the exact list of the vaccination to get (don't want to get unwanted ones :)).

3. If i get the vaccination from outside and during medicals doctor accepts the same, it may happen that he mentions this in the report and thus, embassy guys will reject it saying that it should be from the hospital they mentioned on the website.

Here is what I found on the US Immigration site,

Check this link out first, http://www.uscis.gov/news/questions-and-answers/vaccination-requirements

VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS:

United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations (listed below) prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Instructions and procedural guides direct panel physicians who conduct immigrant visa medical examinations to verify that applicants have met the vaccination requirement, or that it is medically inappropriate for the visa applicant to receive one or more of the listed vaccinations:

Mumps, Measles, Rubella, Polio, Tetanus and Diphtheria Toxoids, Pertussis, Influenza Type B (HIB), Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Varicella, Pneumococcal, Influenza, Rotavirus.

To assist the panel physician, and to avoid delays in the processing of an immigrant visa, all immigrant visa applicants should have their vaccination records available for the panel physician’s review at the time of the immigrant medical examination. If you do not have a vaccination record, the panel physician will work with you to determine which vaccinations you may need to meet the requirement. Certain waivers of the vaccination requirement are available upon the recommendation of the panel physician. Only a physician can determine which of the listed vaccinations are medically appropriate for you, given your age, medical history and current medical condition.

Last week my husband took his vaccination record to his family doctor with the list of what is needed for immigration. He needed 3 vaccinations. His insurance covered it. Had took care of it so he wouldn't get slammed with a $400.00 bill at his medical appt.

I would suggest getting whatever you need before your medical appt. They will charge top dollar for the vaccinations at that appt. Just because they can. And if you decide to go elsewhere and go back to save money, they will charge you the Medical fee again.

wow, now you have me worried. The only birth cert my husband had was the original LONG form. (legal sized) It is yellow and has the registration numbers going down the side. If that's not good enough, my husband will have to go downtown to the registry and get a certified copy. That will suck.

Thanks for that!

Also, we are in the process of collecting my husband's police certificates. I heard that the NVC will accept a "copy" of a police certificate. Does anyone know if this is true?

Thanks again.

You need to provide original documents to NVC. That being said, if you are applying from Australia (which your flag suggests you are) then it will be forwarded directly to the consulate in Sydney from the police station prior to your interview (you will not receive a copy). If you check the regional forums you will see that there are some differences depending on where you are in Aus and whether you order a federal or state police check.

NVC seem to be across this and I haven't seen anyone have any issues when they haven't sent it with their IV package. You will need to wait until you have a case number to request the check otherwise it will be sent to NVC without any reference to your case (and could be discarded). I have heard that a few others on VJ put a note n the covering letter of their IV package stating that it had been requested and sent directly to the consulate just to cover themselves. I believe it can take 2-3 weeks so best to order it as soon as you have your case number.
