Don’t believe it’s a actual feb filer. Possible a Jan 31st NOA1 on old site. Feb 5th on new. 

Im a feb 2nd old feb 7th on new. 

Average is they added 5 days to everyone’s original noa1

The difference in new vs old site for me is only 3 days.....But either way this group is happy cause we're inching closers to our favorite month (SEPT) 🤙🏽

@crono_clone Thanks a lot for your reply. I read in the other groups that people did their vaccines already before the NOA2, in order to be prepared for the Medical Exam.. But I also dont know how it exactly works and if that makes any sense

Thank you anyways, I will try in the NOA2 group.

It's better to have them finished there during your medical exam. If not you will have additional costs once you arrive in the US and begin your AOS after marriage. Here is why.

 

If you have them completed there in your country, your costs are going to be cheaper than if you had them completed in the US. If you have them completed in the your country the medical examiner will complete your DS-3025 as "complete" which allows you to submit that document with your AOS without having to pay an additional fee to a civil surgeon (CS) to finish the vaccinations and to produce the I-693 form. That service alone will run you $75 to $200 plus.

 

So yes, by all means get them completed in country before leaving for the States. Best to go next week, as you have planned, and have them completed. Be sure the medical facility gives you an updated DS-3025 that states everything is "complete". Here is an example of that form https://panelphysician.org/ds3025/.  If you look toward the bottom there is a check box that states "US vaccination requirements COMPLETE (Requesting a Blanket Waiver)" whereupon you want that to be checked.

 

I hope I have been able to articulate the need for the vaccinations to be completed in your Home Country.

Looks like a month to go and we should see March approvals.  We have a few February early ones but most are the last week in January with some December and early to mid January clean up ones i think. Average days are still around 198 here on vj.  There alot a lot less number of people on here for february and march filers than previous months.  Which means are sampling for vj is getting smaller.

For your information.  Based on the vj website samples and people filling out their timelines.

@Greenbaum Thank you so much for your help. I was trying to find a list with the vaccinations needed per age-group, so I could receive them before the Medical Exam. But I couldn't find anything. The vaccinations are unfortunately as expensive in Sweden as in US, so I was trying to see, which ones are really necessary for my age. I wrote an email to the doctor's office for the Medical Exam here in Stockholm, but they did not get back to me :,( I dont know if Varicella and Polio is needed for a 30-year old?

I might try to contact the embassy.

Your welcome. That is the most current information available and it's from the government entity that has responsibility for the health of the US.
