Thank you everyone for your support and advice Tony got home last night and I did miss him even though he's being a total butthead! We didn't talk about IT because I had to leave for work. Hopefully we can talk this weekend. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Ending my journey

I would just like to say that I'm ending my Visa Journey, I don't think my fiance is ready for marriage, we have gone through a lot and I have tolerated a lot to get to this point, I have finally decided that it makes no sense to continue to relationship anymore and I'm officially ending my Journey. Thanks for all you answers and personal messages.

I'm sorry to hear that. Only YOU know what is best though. Like others have said, even though it's painful, it's better that you realize things now rather than after you get married and continue on with this process. Hang in there

Ok so hubby called the medical center in Mo Bay today and he was told his doctor cannot give him any shots, but that is not true correct?? and she asked him if he had a blue paper which he doesn't. Was this blue paper in the same packet that the ds230 came in?

Rhonda!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh, I really need to stick around to keep an eye on you, big belly lady!!

CONGRATULATIONS!! I know 'things aren't 100%" (Henry's favorite way of describing life's little ups and downs), but I agree with Jonesie, stay in prayer. For the believer there is no better resource. Make prayer your first resource and not your last resort.

I had no idea how much work marriage is, blending two, three cultures, etc.... but thanks to God, a praying mom and a praying husband, we are getting better each day. I don't yell any more.

I am so happy for you and for this baby. I pray God will speak to Tony's heart and that God will resolve the situation. I have seen God shut inappropriate doors faster than the eye can blink and open ones that no one dreamed could ever open...so....don't give up.

I was going to ask which doctor....his personal or the medical examination doctor. But, then I thought, WHY? Because both can give him shots. Not exactly clear what you are asking here.

If he has not had certain shots, he can go to a clinic or his personal doctor and get them done beforehand.

If he needs shots at the medical examination, they will then give them to him at considerably more cost.

you know there was someone else saying the same thing recently but i don't remember who it was. it may have been jlvr, since her interview is coming up. it was something along the lines of "it was not recommended for the beneficiary to get immunizations anywhere except at the medical". i'll do a search and see what i come up with.

the following is a quote from belwinmills back in may.

Miss Jones

This is what the paper says for the medical

Blue Note attached says: Be sure to go to the Embassy doctor before going to the clinic for additional vaccinations.

Your Medical Examination

1. You must schedule your medical at least 10-14 days prior to the date of your visa interview. The date of your visa interview appears on your appointment letter. Failure to complete your medical examination by 10 -14 days prior to your visa interview may result in delays with your visa application, so you should be sure to make arrangements to take your exam at the earliest opportunity.

There are three locations authorized to perform examinations for immigration visas, and you may have your exam done at the most convient location for you.

MoBay Medical, Andrews Memorial Hospital, Dr. Medical Banbury Medical Associates Hospital

$95 $90 $80

2. Medical Examination Fees

The fee is as noted above, payable in U.S. dollars or Jamaican equivalent. No personal cheques are accepted.

3. What to bring to the Medical Examination

- completed medical history form -passport - your appointment letter - 4 passport size pictures

- any immunization records showing prior vaccinations

** please remove all necklaces and neck chains prior to examination

4. Immunization

U.S. immigration law requires that all applicants be vaccinated for the following disease:

Mumps, measles, rubella, polio, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, influenza type B, hepatitis B, varicella (chicken pox), pneumococcal, and influenza.

Depending upon your age, you may not need all of these vaccinations. Please present your immunization records to the physician at the time of the examination for the physician to determine which immunizations you may need. You may receive any needed vaccinations at the time of your examination. Please note that immunization fees are not included in the cost of your examination. Please be prepared to pay for any additional vaccines that you may require.

5. HIV Testing

During the n visa medical examination, the physician test all applicants over the age of 15 for antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a disease that may lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). In cases in which the physician has reason to believe that a child under age 15 might be HIV positive, he or she may require that the child undergo a blood test.

AIDS is the name given to a group of illnesses that may occur in persons infected with HIV. Infection with HIV causes a defect in a person's natural immunity against disease. This defect leaves infected people vulnerable to serious illnesses that would not normally be a threat to someone with a healthy immune system. A positive test result for HIV does not mean you have AIDS, but that you are at risk to develop it. Any positive results will be confirmed with an additional test.

The results of your test will be provided to a consular officer, and may be reported to the Jamaican health authorities, as required by Jamaican law. If the test results are positive, you will be ineligible for the visa and the consular officer is required by U.S. law to deny the application. However, a waiver of this ineligibility may be possible, and the consular officer will explore that possibility with you during the interview.

Destiny - thanks a lot, his mother was going to go the clinic where he grew up and get his card, so I will tell him to go ahead with that. The medical center justs wants the additional money, that's all

Thats for sure....I am in the same dilema..I was just gonna have hi mgo to the medical exam and pay for there..even though I knew it would be more. My husband does not have ANY record of his shots at all. the most shots he can possibly get is about 3 I'm thinking cause he's past the age for some. I think it's just the ones that u HAVE to get to enter the country. I think MMR, Rubella, Varicella(chickenpox) maybe something else. Correct me if I'm wrong

There is an age limit on shots? I never knew that, then what are they charging $100.00 for? That's how much they told him the shots would cost.

I'm doing a little search on this..I maybe be confused...I think what it is, is that you need boosters for some of the shots...
