hi guys!

I'm back from my medical.

it took 4h total (most of the time waiting in between bloodwork, peeing test, xrays...).

so now i'm freaking out if my bloodwork and peeing test turn out ok. (i guess i have to worry about something to be able to function).

anyway: intersting remark of the doctor: i was the ONLY person in 2 days that had all the necessary vaccinations. i mean: it's a medical office where they do visa-medicals each morning. the whole office is reserved for the medicals. and nobody had all the vaccinations???? the embassy wrote in pack 3 and 4 that you are REQUIRED to have the vaccinations BEFORE the medical. .

are people just more relaxed than i am, or am i just a controlfreak?

HASSLE is right! Not to mention the $340 fee...I might have needed a new AmEx card myself!

Is that typical, the medical taking 4 hours? That seems like a long time!

Haha - maybe you are a control freak - but then that would make me a control freak as well!! Prolly means that the other people just didn't read the paperwork

And am glad there is no peeing test in the UK - always worried I might miss...

TC,

How is that possible LOL. They give the vaccinations in the office and they are included in the medical fee.

You telling us that so many people do not have the vaccinations given to them when it is a part of the fee? Idiots, LOL.

we need to pay for vaccinations seperatly here. Visa medical £180 and vaccines vary from £25 - £60 each

[Jeraly 4]

Yeah I think it varies by country

the medical has been the most expensive but easiest part yet. They didn't contact me and it's been over a week so I take it I'm disease free and acceptable to be released on US public!!!

THE VACCINATIONS ARE NOT PART OF THE FEE!!!

if you don't have them at the date of the medical, you have to go back home, get the shots from your general doc at home, and send your vaccination-pass-thingy to the medical-office in franfurt.

the fee covers the blood works, peeing test and xrays and the other stuff.

fee is between 125 and 200€. varies if you go in frankfurt, hamburg or munich.

There is atleast one writeup that says that in Manila St. Lukes includes the vaccinations as a part of the fee, if you know to request it when you are there.

I'll have to ask in the Philippine forum for confirmation then. I just assumed that the writeup was correct.

Damn, too late can't edit.

I just found this in the Philippine forum. Manila Embassy K1 Visa Guide

4.6 St. Luke's Extension Clinic (SLEC) information is within my signature. The beneficiary and derivative(s) are required to have medical exam(s) and vaccination shots before a visa can be issued (per the US Immigration Laws) and should be taken before the visa interview. Family and/or friends are prohibited from entering the facility, unless otherwise required.

The medical exam, adminstered by SLEC, is a two days process:

Day 1 is the medical exam whereas the beneficiary's passport will be taken and sent to the USE along with the medical exam results and;

Day 2 is the vaccination whereas the beneficiary will be given the x-ray film and the DS-3025 Vaccination Worksheet/Record at the conclusion.

I understood we didn't HAVE to have the vaccinations for the London medical, but they must be done before AOS...?

I've had all of them - even had rubella, AND the shot - but have no record of them

I asked my mum to check with my childhood doctor, but it's a very long shot... I think he's retired

and while I have the records somewhere, they're in a box in a Sydney storage space, and there is no hope in HELL of finding them right now

I thought I could wait til I get there, by which time I will have cleared said storage space and maybe found the records... am I right in that thinking? or should I make an appointment with my GP?

according to what I have read you are required to have them to enter the the country for immigration. however, k1 visas are not technically considered immigrants until the marriage happens. so in that sense no you do not NEED them. if you read the documents they say not having them is not grounds for denial. but yes you need them for the aos as at that time you filing to be an immigrant.

for us philippine filers we get the vaccinations as a part of the medical with the exception of the td vaccine which can be gotten easily here in the states.

k3 visas however are different. they are immigrants so I believe the vaccinations are a requirement for entry.

I think that is correct...you need them for AOS...not the K-1 visa.

Also thinking that the medical gets submitted for AOS along with everything else, right? So ,if you've had all the jabs before the medical and they are listed on the medical report...well, I'd imagine it probably makes life in this bin of red tape easier.

I'm confused...are you in the UK or AZ? Are you under NHS? How long ago did you have your jabs?

My SO has an appt. next week to get them done and we were told there was no charge! This is from his NHS Doctor's office, they had his all his records (with the excepetion of MMR) but all his vaccinations were over 10 years old...which is too old, so he was told that he needs to get boosters.
