Sinovac is fine. You just need to have both doses done before medical. They will take care of everything else you need at the time of medical. Then they will send the results to you and the embassy both via email. So you don’t need to do anything else.

AsalamuAlaikum Aisha, we are so happy , Expedite Request is approved yesterday Alhamdullilah and i must appreciate your advise in this regard. I trust all is well with you and your family.Now let us see how much time Embassy will take to Schedule the Interview?...InshaAllah every thing will be fine. take care bye.

Congratulations! I’m super happy for you! Insha’Allah embassy will schedule the interview soon! Just make sure everyone is fully vaccinated before your medical. You need both doses to be taken before the medical and also go enter the embassy. GoodLuck!

Ohhh that’s a good question. Idk if they’re giving vaccinations to children yet. A doctor can better answer that question. OR call the facility where you are going to get your medical done and ask them. They will have the most accurate answer. If you’re in Lahore, it’s wilcare in model town. But the centers are different for Karachi and Islamabad.

i think CR1 visas are taking about one year from DQ date, and to Expedite you have to prove  some kind of emergency , now a days they are considering medical emergency is the only reason , no harm to try, you have to send email with all supporting letter and documents..etc to nvcexpedite@state.gov

Pfizer is the only one that just got approved for kids,  just started giving to kids last week in US. But it’s lower dose for kids, not sure if Pakistan will have it this soon.  Definitely check when you go for kids’ medical.

My husband and son are due for interview this month. Prayers required. Also will both of them be issued visa at the same time? We all will be travelling together to US IA. Can someone guide what documents should we have? My brother is the joint sponsor.

That’s good! Make sure both doses are done before the interview and medical if possible. Otherwise the medical people will better guide about going through the process with only one dose done. GoodLuck!

They will issue the visa to everyone at the same time if they have all the necessary documents for each person.
