Woohoo! Another day closer (:

Did your husband bring a vaccine record? My husband can't get a copy of his because Quebec told him it would be at least 30 days to receive a copy -.- (Quebec makes things difficult sometimes!) But he went to school here and in Florida, so he has had tons of vaccines, and the US consulate site said that the doctor would wok with you to decide what you needed etc.

Yeah he did bring his childhood vaccine records that his mom kept. I think it all depends on age and health too as to what is mandatory if you don't have shot records. Your husband will do great there.

My husband said the view of the doctors office was insane. The doctor must of saw my husband's face in awe and the doc told him he would get an even better view from his chair...he let my husband sit in it to check the view out and then started pointing out all the buildings to my hubby. haha

Sounds Lovely! Thanks.

Okie dokes! My husband is 21-- so I presume he will need just the standard adult vaccines. He's never had chicken pox either so just another shot to add to the record! lol

All of you with recent visa approvals, remember to check the bottom of Dwheels76 first post in this forum/topic if you want to learn to be able to track the progress of your green card issuance after you pass by a POE. You need to open an ELIS account first, then pay the immigrant fee then your case will be loaded to your ELIS account for further tracking.

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/587554-case-complete-to-interview-april-2016/?p=8032069

I Sure wish I saw this information before we paid the fee. Do you know of any way to track the Green Card status after paying the fee?

Also just an FYI for everyone, we checked the the box on the DS-260 for social security card to be issued and received it in a week after POE.

I searched it for you, yes they do ask for 2 photos:

http://algiers.usembassy.gov/panel_physicians.html and they prefer these photographers http://algiers.usembassy.gov/photo_requirements2.html

http://algiers.usembassy.gov/tips-for-a-smooth-visit.html

http://algiers.usembassy.gov/family_based.html

According to link above, they want 3 photos for interview.

Notes on marriage fault, this is red flag for bona fide marriage supporting evidence. Prepare your husband with lots of evidence.

http://algiers.usembassy.gov/marriage_fraud.html

THANK you...

I did front load and sent alot, 4 years of our relationship. 3 trips etc etc I was warned on this prior to nvc cause he is from a mena country. Took him Friggen a year and half to ask me to marry him. Lol and never uttered I love you before it. I stayed with his parents also, we took things very slow cause our basis of meeting wasn't for dating. He is super proper, me....not so much lol

Congratulations to all the approvals

Hi guys

I called NVC to follow up on my case after 20 days of petition arrival. They told me that there was no action taken so far and the phone operator sent my case to a supervisor and said it would take 42 days to get a reply. Did any one had a similar situation? Is there an explanation?

Thanks.
