Hi All,

I'm completing the DS-260 online Immigrant Visa application for my mum. One of the questions that confused me was the following:

Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with U.S. law?

As far as I understand it, once the IV form and AOS have been accepted, my mum will receive a request to go for a medical and will get any vaccinations she needs at that stage. So although she doesn't have documentation now, she will have it before she enters the US. Should I answer yes in anticipation of this, or no and explain what I just explained above?

Also, my mum was just about to send me her police certificate for the supporting documents package, however she said that she read somewhere that she will need it when she goes to her medical. Is this true? And in this case should we have ordered two?

Thanks in advance for your help! :goofy:

Answer no, and for explanation write "Will have all vaccinations fulfilled at the medical before immigrating to the US".

Yes, the medical does require you to have a police report as well. So go for the copy option of the police report. About 6 quid for the copy. They both look exactly the same :).

Good luck!

Omg!! That is so annoying!! We already ordered and received the police certificate - do you know if it's possible to do the 6 pound option if you already got your certificate??? Ugh why did I not know this would be needed in two places at the same time :crying:

You can probably contact the ACRO police and see if they will allow you to? I'm not so sure. My wife picked up on it before we ordered the police report and order an extra copy just in case.

I just did mine a few minutes ago and I check Yes to that question knowing that vaccination are all required during the medical examination. Hope this won't cause a problem

Some people check yes, some people check no. It hasn't caused any known issues of what I'm aware of.
