My wife and step-son are living in Russia and we are in the process of applying for the K3 and have several questions regarding the process on the Russia side. The US Embassy in Moscow's website is fairly poorly constructed and contains some unclear and, at times, conflicting information. For example, on one document available on the site regarding the medical exam it states "The vaccination requirement applies to all immigrant visa applicants, except K and V visa applicants, and will be incorporated into the medical examination process." Meanwhile on another section of the site it states "Effective July 1, 1997, all applicants for immigrant visas must fulfill the vaccination requirements of Section 212(a)(L)(A)(ii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act before an immigrant visa can be issued. " :no:

Therefore my question is: Are they required to meet vaccination requirements?

Also, does anyone know if my 4 year old step-son is required to submit to the medical exam also? Is he required to attend the interview in Moscow with his mother?

Oner more question: Does anyone know if it is possible to have the medical exam somewhere other than Moscow or Vladivostok?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Moscow and Vlad are the only clincs that work.

If you don't get an answer here try posting in the K-3 section or in the Regional section for Russia but I believe the son also needs the exam and I believe the vaccinations can be done here but have her ask the clinic for a copy of their vaccination records so they don't have to repeat them here. The other thought is that it will be cheaper to get any vaccinations they need in Russia than it will be here so just getting them done might be a good, safe and money saving option.
