chest x-ray, blood test, urinalysis, visual acuity, physical exam and history of immunization. It depends on what pre existing condition, if it is tuberculosis and hasn’t been treated then it would be a concern. 

Hi, what if there is no record of immunization?

Hello, it will be fine, my mom doesn’t have an immunization record either and she passed. Mom said that she was asked about the immunization she had when she was young and told them what she remembered.

Hi Adar24, 

      we did not submit any photographs to nvc. i just followed the official instruction from nvc and used immigration wiki as a guide (http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process).

 

hope this helps.

Hi davendale - the link is very helpful. Thanks for sharing - much appreciated.

Hi folks -  

 

While I am waiting for my parents' case numbers from NVC, I have started looking at the DS-260 (the pdf that is posted as an example) and have a couple of questions that I am hoping to get some help with.

 

I filed and got approval for 2 separate I-130 petitions - 1 for my mom and 1 for my dad. So, I know we have to fill in 2 separate DS-260 forms, 1 each for mom and dad. 

 

Here are my questions:

1.) On the Family Information: Spouse page, 

a) Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. with you? 

My guess is that the answer is "NO" to this question as my mom and dad have separate petitions and will submit separate DS-260s? But would really appreciate some guidance/response from those who were in the same situation (filed for both parents).

 

b) Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. at a later date to join you?

This is definitely "NO" for our case.

 

2.) My dad has retired for more than 15 years now. So, we will be filling in RETIRED in Primary Occupation. And we will answer the question "Were you previously employed?" as YES (since he was). However, when answered YES, the next question asks for information on employers fro last 10 years, starting with most recent. Any suggestions on what we should enter here? Should we simply answer with "None-Retired"? Did anyone else have this situation?

 

Thanks very much for the help in advance.

For your first question you will answer yes spouse is immigrating with you. For second no he is not immigrating at a later stage.

We just did outs and that's what we wrote. Don't know about your other question.

Answer for this question is Yes cuz it’s about your Mom. You applied for both parents and obviously both are immigrating to the U.S. 

 

b) Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. at a later date to join you?

This is definitely "NO" for our case.

I am not sure about this question. I am also trying to find the answer for this question cuz my dad has also Retired for more than 10 years.

Thanks @MrsKhanAppreciate the response. This is one of the most confusing questions on DS-260.

Good luck for your interview.

Need some help please!!  My wife got her moms case number last week and we have paid both fees online and submitted the DS-260 application and working on getting the supporting documents uploaded.  The problem I am having is with the I-864 support application and how to best upload it. Because it needs a couple signatures and some of the questions wont allow me to simply type the answers in and upload I had to print, fill it out and have scanned to my computer. So  now I have 10 pages that need to be uploaded but you can't do it that way. It says they must be in one file and I'm having problems trying to figure out how?  Any suggestions would be great!!

Create a single PDF file.

Google for the correct software; PDF Creator, etc.
