DS-260 Questions (merged topics)

[Gaiden79 23]

Hi guys,

 

I have already asked this question but I just wanted to double confirm it just to ensure i'm doing it right. There is a question on the DS-260 that asks if my wife has documentation to show she has vaccinations according to US law. 

 

Do I answer yes because my wife will have that documentation by the time of the interview? 

 

Or no because she doesn't have it yet but explain that she will have it when she goes to St Lukes for her medical? 

 

What's the best answer? Thank you!

Put the correct date and the mistake on the I130 can be explained to the consular officer if asked about it

My lawyer answered no and then wrote: 

 

"DOCUMENTATION WILL BE PROVIDED AT MEDICAL EXAMINATION PERFORMED PRIOR TO IMMIGRANT

VISA INTERVIEW."

Exactly.  When the decision is between the truth and anything else, the truth MUST win.

This is the correct answer if you will receive vaccinations at the medical exam.  An answer of Yes would imply that you are fully vaccinated when you send the DS-260.

Yeah that makes more sense to me.

 

Another person mentioned that the ds-260 questions refer to the interview stage, but if so then why wouldn't the ds-260 state that?

I agree, thanks for your help on this.

 

Also my wife and I operated a franchise business with employees in the Philippines but I had forgot to add that as well on the I-130. I was the one who mainly managed the business in the Philippines that's why I forgot I guess. Would that be relevant to add? Thank you!

If she is involved in the business, yes.  In the Philippines, she would be the actual owner of the business.  Right?

Yup that's right, she would be the actual owner. I will go ahead and add it too. I feel bad that I forgot about it.

Actually I had all my vaccinations at this point. I actually asked my lawyer about this one and they said "documentation...in accordance with US law" can only be provided by the panel physician. Your own vaccination documentation does not satisfy the requirement. For example you can not present your vaccinations to the CO directly, it has to be presented to the panel physician who will then certify you have acquired the required vaccines.

They will give my wife her needed vaccinations at the medical exam right? She doesn't have any records of vaccinations from the Philippines either.

I marked yes as I had titre testing proving my immunity or the vaccine info.  But im Canadian.
