This is just a lighthearted post - my husband and I are thinking of getting matching "petitioner" and "beneficiary" tshirts for our POE if his interview goes well. I wonder if the officer would have a sense of humor about it? Or we might just get them to wear whenever ;)

Ha! Just saw this and must say I love this idea ;) :D

Is my husband supposed to go get vaccines administered before the medical?

Hi April, it's up to you. Some have said that it's cheaper to have the required vaccines by their general doctors. Since the US approved medical doctor is far from us, we scheduled the appointment the day before the interview.

 

Already had blood tested and discovered the missing vaccines. Now getting those vaccines and the vaccine records updated.  In fact, this is what the medical advised us to do. They emailed us a letter to give to our doctor of choice explaining the required vaccines. 

 

His visa will expire 6 months from his medical appointment.

Everything will be fine  No one gets denied in this forum!!   

I agree. Your wife's being the toughest case I would say. You guys had a clear RED flag that too with denial on fraudulent  grounds. You got your case expedite as well. It was surprising when they didn't  check the reason for expedition. I am happy for you and your wife. Hope she was able to see your sick relative (expeditions reason) on time. Good luck for your future together.
