Our application was approved back in November but I never received any notifications or letters in the mail. My fiance finally received an e-mail and phone calls from the embassy. Fast forward, our application has been extended and they now have the correct contact information for me ( it was entered wrong in their system). We are trying to piece together what our next steps should be. He has no record of vaccines and is from Donestk and there may not be any record of them. Do they administer a few vaccines at the medical exam or what should be the process for him to do this while he waits for his interview. He is currently in Moscow.

 

He is in the process of obtaining the police certificate from  Russia and once he has received this he will go to Ukraine to complete the medical exam and police check there. How much in advance should the exam be scheduled prior to the interview? Is a week enough time?

 

I have so many questions but hopefully I will find some answers by researching on this site. Since I never received the letter that our application was approved should I contact the center in California to obtain this letter?  I was sent the copy of our approved application by the embassy. 

 

Thank you.

btw....if you start on the police report for Ukraine it takes about 10 days to get it and you can order it online.
