Hi everyone, thank you so much for ALL your helpful shared immigration and DCF-US EMBASSY MANILA experiences.  Thank God for all of you,  we finally GOT APPROVED yesterday.  Included in the email we received was the Case number.  With it, we can technically proceed to the next step.  ONLY we have some question about IMMUNIZATION VACCINATION.  I mostly received those required vaccinations during our Fiancee Visa processing year 2013, and got cleared with medical examination.  Year 2014, some of the immunization vaccination included to complete the list of requirements of USCIS today, was administered to me in the USA during our pregnancy.  Gladly, the original documentations are with us. The question, does anyone here had the same circumstances, and skipped the vaccinations?  Will it decreased the MEDICAL FEE?   Appreciate your info.

 

Again, thank you so much and God bless you all.

Joshua, a music lover, and Tennessee born guy met Lady Lyn, a Filipina in an online Yahoo Christian Chat while both of them were praising God in a different way.  The latter was bullied by some chatters, and courageous Joshua rescued her like a damsel in distress, that was where a new chapter of life begun with the two of them. Their marriage is blessed in many forms including of rewarding them with a beautiful and joyful baby girl named Abigail Exodus Haltom which named perfectly represents their love and life story as a family.

If you were vaccinated with the required vaccines 3 years ago you shouldn't need any more. However that will not reduce the cost. 

Over here we had no pending vaccines and the cost was not discounted. Also if there are pending vaccines you are responsible for buying them. They can administer them but you still need to pay for them.
