Hi all, my wife may be coming during the first half of next year to the US from the Philippines if her visa gets approved. She has been wondering about the Covid Vaccine requirements, does anyone know? I know there are other vaccines required but she was wondering about the Covid one specifically. Also, where would she be getting that vaccine, during her Medical at St. Lukes before the interview? Thank you!

Thread is moved from the CR-1 Process forum to the Philippines regional forum for country-specific advice.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

She will need to get fully vaccinated for COVID to clear the SLEC medical.  SLEC does not provide COVID vaccines, so she will have to get it elsewhere, maybe her LGU.  1 or 2 shots, depending on the brand she gets.  Boosters not required prior to the medical.  Details from the SLEC website -- https://slec.ph/faq/us.php

Is there any country specific forum for India too? How do I find it?

There is a Regional Discussion board for India. You may find some answers there. Much of the discussion here is specific to the Philippines.
