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

[eric_drewry 0]

Nickiesha will be coming in through Miami. I've traveled through there often, so I have given her detailed information as to what to expect and where to go. She is actually traveling on a free ticket. When I was returning from the last interview my flight from Miami to Indy was overweight. I volunteered to stay in Miami overnight and got a $250 flight couple and hotel/meals.

I may have gone through alot, but have done quite well on the airline ticket side. Most of my flights have been paid for by the company I work for. I have only had to pay for 3 of my trips myself. I expect that at least once before the end of the year, I'll be going back bringing the wife on the company, probably late August early September. Of course I'll be working and only have weekends myself, but it will be good for my wife, unless she gets herself a job she can't leave. Not that I'm concerned about her working, but she'll need something to do while I am at work,

good suggestion nyceness. my fiance's immunization records are lost so he will be getting them prior to his medical.

hey belwin- did your hubby have to start all over with his immunizations? Do you know which specific shots he did get?

eric- what will be your wife's port of entry?

Does anyone know what some of these immunizations are? I'm wondering if my fiance can check his records for them and if he still needs some, wondering if its cheaper for him to get them now from his local clinic. I know that will be cheaper. I'm trying to save as much time an money as possible.

Any ideas?

I am not sure where your man is in JA, but Hope Medical in Mobay can be very accomodating squeezing you in for an appointment quickly. Though they cost a little more than the 2 in Kingston.

Unfortunately Kingston does not always follow their own procedures, but you should be able to get what they call a Blue Sheet Interview, which can take about 2 weeks two schedule. Of course The idiots scheduled a full blown interview for my wife for April 3rd, when we were waiting on a physical, even though that is not what they said they would do.

Here is the info on the medical. Since you have your date make your appointment tomorrow.

YOUR MEDICAL EXAMINATION

1. SCHEDULING YOUR APPOINTMENT

You must schedule your medical examination at least seven 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 the seven 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 immigrant visas, and you may have your exam done at the most convenient location for you.

MoBay Hope Medical Centre Andrews Memorial Hospital Dr. Michael Banbury

Half Moon Shopping Village 27 Hope Road Medical Associates Hospital

Rose Hall, Montego Bay Kingston 10 18 Tangerine PI

St. James (876)926-7401-3 Kingston 10

(876)953-3981 (876)908-2123

US$95 for adults US$90 for adults US$80 for adults

US$50 for children under 15 US$50 for children under 15 US$47 for children under 15

You must call ahead to schedule a specific appointment time with the doctor of your choice.

2. MEDICAL EXAMINATION FEES

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

3. WHAT TO BRING TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION

-Completed medical history form (on reverse) -Your appointment letter

-Passport -Four (4) passport size pictures

-Any immunization records showing prior vaccinations **Please remove all necklaces and neck chains prior to the examination.

4. IMMUNIZATION

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

Mumps, measles, rubella, polio, tetanus, diptheria, 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 immigrant visa medical examination, the physician tests all applicants over the age of 15 for antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a disease which 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 HTV. 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.
