Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 4)

[Empress 0]

So Melvin was scheduled to go for his medical exam today in Mobay but then they called and said for him to come tomorrow 8/22 so we will see how that goes. We are not even sure if the he will be able to get to Mobay due to the uprooted trees and electricity poles down on the streets. We are hoping for a positive outcome tomorrow. He still has no electricity in Bala Clava, some of Santa Cruz, and Mulgrave. He has been talking to me since the hurricane and immediately turning off both phones. Melvin did find a Juicy Beef in Santa Cruz, bought something to eat and drink, and then used an outlet to charge his phone under the table. Of course he had to act like he wasn't loittering .

If he doesn't get to go to the medical tomorrow, I am afraid that he will not have it back in time. I told him that we would still go to the embassy anyway. But really, whats the sense of me going to JA if I know that he will receive a blue paper because of his missing medical exam? Yes, to see him but the main reason was to accompany him at the interview. Quite frankly, I am a little confused . It will cost me $100 dollars to change the ticket and he would probably be rescheduled for another interview date once the medical exam comes in. We'll see. Maybe I am just jumping the gun and over exaggerating (hype).

Any great words of wisdom? Thanks very much appreciated.

I think you should still go. Mr. Man got rescheduled for tomorrow also and I heard that now they give you the medical report in a sealed envelope to take to the interview. So don't fret yourself.

that would be wonderful to get it same day or two days later and take it with you they should have expedited medicals since everything else seem to have an expedited option

In the interview letter that I received from the NVC they say that we should take with us the medical exam results in an envelope sealed by the medical office. So hopefully this is a same day thing, otherwise they are saying we should go back to the office to pick it up.

I'm back...I'll post the entire experience and updates later.

Welcome back KK. I hope and prayed that you were ok. All your VJ family had you on their minds. Wishing you all the best.

Your VJ sis

Hi guys;

Just an update. I called the NVC today to check on Mike's petition and the recording stated that the Choice of Agent form was mailed to him on 7/30 and the AOS fee bill to his dad on the same day. Now with all that is going on in JA after Dean, I don't know how or whe he is going to receive it. I am thinking of e-mailing them his choosing me as his choice of agent so all mailings for him would come to me and then I would express them to him. Knowing that I am not the petitioner, I read up on this topic and he can choose enyone to be his agent. What do you guys think? Good idea? I also would fill out the DS-230 and print and send to him (because he does not have access to a computer) and have him mail it to me until it is requested I could mail it to NVC for him.

I am so excited because he will soon be here. From the timelines of the CR-1/IR-1 folks, I am estimating about 6-8 months.

Opinions?

If the interview date doesn't get rescheduled, I would recommend still attending. If his medical isn't ready, that's no biggy.... Craig's wasn't ready either, but like I've mentioned in previous posts, Craig would have definitely been denied if I didn't attend. Getting that behind you and only getting the infamous blue slip .....no worries !

ALL Airlines have restrictions for changing airlines tickets for weather, especially Hurricanes. They allow changes without a fee, but will only give you up to a certain date to make changes and/or travel.....or sometimes a full refund.

Yes that makes sense. Thanks guys. He called me this morning when he was on his way to the Medical appt. I haven't spoken to him sense then so I imagine that he was able to be seen and get through. I am waiting to see what the process was at the end (if they give him the results or mail them). Thanks again

Oh yes, please keep us posted. I am curious since our interview letter expressly said this should be taken to the interview.

[nyseness 0]

If he mentions the UK on the DS-230 then yes they will ask for it.

I think this is a great idea. Most of the ppwrk from NVC does not need to be sent to him b/c it's pretty much instructions on how to obtain the necessary forms. Just have your SO sign the DS-230 and provide the required docs for that packet. Make sure he doesn't sign it so that way when it's requested you already have the forms prepared and ready to get mailed back in. You can check out the following link to see an overview of the process.
