221G repeat medical needed for K1

[Empressdivine 113]

Hi everyone my fiance did his k1 interview in Kingston Jamaica and was told he needed to redo his medical. It expires 8 days after his interview. ( This is with the 7 month extension) I did ask the embassy before the interview if it needs to be redone and they said no. but now at the interview they stated  he's approved just need to redo the medical. I digress

 

On the 221g form that he received they checked off medical and passport and to return these to a courier service.

 

My question is would he just drop off his passport? The medical is sent electronically so what proof would he show for that?

 

He had received an immunization card when he did his first medical. This card was not taken during his interview. Does he need to have that sent back to the embassy as well?

My question is would he just drop off his passport? You follow their instructions and not deviate from them so no you send by courier services. The medical is sent electronically so what proof would he show for that? Confirm with the medical staff that there isn't a paper file that you must return to the embassy. 

 

He had received an immunization card when he did his first medical. This card was not taken during his interview. Does he need to have that sent back to the embassy as well? Is it a card that was issued during the medical exam? Normally it's a form called DS-3025, Vaccination Documentation Worksheet which will be needed for AOS after marriage. So, don't lose that paper.

Congratulations! your almost their!

@Empressdivine good day. How long after receiving the 221g did it take for the visa to be issued? We are still waiting since turning in the missing doc to the courier on Dec 2nd.

Yes it took a while. I feel as though they pick up back the case what seems as randomly to us.  I see that u read the timeline but to note incase someone else reads this. Total time from 221g to issued was 1 month but because I couldn't get a medical appointment. Once the medical was redone 2 1/2 weeks.

 

Not sure if the holidays is slowing them down now. Hope you get through soon!!

Thank you @Empressdivine yes, I understood this based on your explanation on the post and detailed timeline. I appreciate how thorough you are, it's easy to follow along and helpful in assessing my case timeline. I agree some of the delay may be attributed to the holidays. We are eagerly awaiting our day. Thanks again for the well wishes as well and all the best to you.
