Hey guys, here is my vaccinations record. They gave a copy on top of the sealed envelope.

 

They usually give 3 vaccinations, however the physician 👨‍⚕️ gave me one more for Influenza. When I asked why..he said, it's for your safety..take it...lol..and laughed.😝😝

 

Be careful, this 4th vaccine will give you swollen and painful upper arm for 2-3 days. 😫😫

 

 

can you please share how much it cost ?

For medical Examination = 6510 & for Vaccination = 4068 

So in total Rs 10,578

Can you tell me which 3 vaccines you had to have (besides the Flu)..?

@nessasmom980 Did you go back to the PSK and get your passport stamped?

TDAP, MMR & Varicella

You did not have chicken pox as a child?

MMR is a 3 in one vaccine and so is the TDAP, so that is 6 different vaccines combined. The chicken pox makes 7 and the Flu makes 8. So you got 8, not 15 

 

Still, we gotta do what we gotta do! 

 

Glad it is all behind you now! Now you can focus on the future 

[KaurN 138]

Confirmed with NVC and they said that passport doesn't have to be stamped as long as you have the paper version. I am still not feeling too sure thought.

That's what the doctor asked me, I said I never had chicken pox and he confirmed it from my mom as well.

If you are getting a PCC from India please make sure it is issued by the Regional Passport office and not by the Police Commissioners office. I made this mistake and they asked me to submit the correct one and wait for another 11 weeks. There is no option to bring this to the interview directly as you will not have a CC till they have reviewed the correct PCC. Happy to answer any other questions you guys have.

I feel PCC issued from passport office should be sufficient...

Yes it should be issued from PSK... Did you get a stamp in your passport along with PCC document ?

Some info on Birth certificates - if it can help anybody by @NihalV & @mcgg

Hi All,

 

My original birth certificate is gujarati language and name in Birth Certificate (NIHAR) is different from Passport (NIHAL), my all document have same name as passport apart from Birth Certificate.

I checked on NVC website and it said that you can submit the Matriculation certificate (issues by school board with birth date) so I was planing to submit it.(https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/reciprocity-by-country/IN.html) 

 

But when I called NVC and confirm they said I have to submit the Birth certificate.   so Now I see submitting only Matriculation certificate increases chance of getting REF.

 

So I am thinking to submit below documents. Please review and let me know if this can be better.

 

Translate original BC to English - get it notarized - Attach Gazette Copy
1.1  - original BC in Gujarati 
1.2 - English translation with Notarized.
1.3 - Cover letter explaining name change proof registered in Gazette copy issue by Government of Gujarat.
1.4 - copy of Gazette from Government of Gujarat. which have entry of name change.
1.5 ( Optional ) - Certificate of the birth issued by Government School Board ( Matriculation certificate )

I suggest you include them all.

1. I had read an experience by an Indian VJer ( can't find it now) that he too received a checklist for Birth Certificate. He did not have his, and hence only submitted his matriculation record. NVC came back - he was then asked to submit a record from the authorities that his Birth Certificate was not available. In your case only submitting the matriculation record MIGHT end up in the same problem.
2. If you submit the Matriculation record as well, the NVC would understand that the name change is not recent and the record is genuine. I am sure you are having all your records translated in English (as you already suggested). Good Luck.

I think you are referring to below reply...

 

 

So @chamma you agree what I am planning will be sufficient. ?

 

Translate original BC to English - get it notarized - Attach Gazette Copy

• 1.1  - original BC in Gujarati 
• 1.2 - English translation with Notarized.
• 1.3 - Cover letter explaining name change proof registered in Gazette copy issue by Government of Gujarat.
• 1.4 - copy of Gazette from Government of Gujarat. which have entry of name change.
• 1.5 ( Optional ) - Certificate of the birth issued by Government School Board ( Matriculation certificate )

Along with the list you mentioned affidavit from both parents affirming name change from what is mentioned in your birth certificate to your current name might be helpful. During my embassy interview the official reviewing my documents did not bother much with my School Certificate. Instead he considered Non-Availability and affidavits from my parents. I got separate affidavits from my Mom and Dad. 

 

I got a few of my documents translated from Hindi to English and followed the NVC guidelines for translation. I got the translations notarized alongwith an affidavit from the translator asserting his capability to understand and translate from Hindi to English.

 

That is how I went about it since I feel that extra work does no harm.

 

Good luck to you.

 

 

Update :- just got my BC with correct name and also in English    no need for all above doc list..

Carry both as @KaurN mentioned. You don't want to take any chances for any further delays. Just take whatever you have or you think they might ask for if you are confused. Walk in well prepared. Good Luck!

A question for both you, does your passports or your spouses passports have their PCC's stamped on their passports?

Mine was stamped along with 2 originals on A4 sheet. Didn't the officer do it for him?

No we were just handed PCC and passport wasn't stamped.

Hmmm not sure what are the implications. Mine is Delhi embassy. Whats your? You think it could be state specific? Anyone here from your embassy who's already attended the interview with or without the stamp on passport would have better idea.

Ours is Delhi embassy. Now I am trying to figure if a stamp is really need or not.

I see on the spreadsheet that @Chahal has already been through the interview with Delhi embassy. He would be the best person to suggest.

Do you think your husband or you (whoever is the applicant here) can go to the passport office again with the PCC you got and ask them to also stamp it on your passport? I didn't even know about it. The lady officer at the passport office just stamped my passport. So I am thinking it might be needed for something.

You'll need your P4 letter, bring your passport and a copy, and passport size pictures. That is what was asked at our medical center. When you schedule your medical appointment make sure to ask if anything else is needed.
