OH LOVELY!! What vaccines have changed?! My husband already had his medical exam. It's a long trip to Vancouver and he was taking me there to fly out so we decided to have it done then (August). Plus, he didn't want to make the trip in the winter..argh!!! If it's not one thing its another..

Well all anyone has reported so far is that gardasil is now required for females from 11-26 years of age:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=106208

Other than that we are waiting for a report back from someone to see what else might have changed.

When my Husband went for his medical a few weeks ago the Dr. mentioned to him that there were more vaccinations now required - I guess he was saying - soon - because he only had to comply with the ones that we know to be required.

Oh right..I remember reading that. Luckily, my husband is immigrating..so we don't have to worry about that. I wonder what the other requirements are..hopefully he won't be affected by it.

Hepatitis A is now required for children 12 month to 4 year old. The Dr. said this was just added last week or so.

prg321 · February 8, 2008

March 28th!!!
So what should we expect next? Another package/letter from NVC/MTL with medical form?

Thanks everyone!

Hi prg,

I will update your date on the table shortly, but wanted to answer this.

At the bottom of the timeline to interview table above I have put in a link to the interview letter you will receive from NVC. As bearmirus mentioned (in post 248 of this thread) the medical portion has just changed, so while this letter is from the beginning of January, the vaccinations etc may have changed a bit.

They don't include a medical form, you just need to make an appt. with the panel physician for your medical.

Hi, trailmix,

Thanks for the info. By the way, is the interview letter sent to the petitioner in US or the spouse in Canada? (I guess the latter but would like confirm) And when should we expect to receive it?

You're welcome. Both the petitioner and the beneficiary receive the interview letter. The interview letter was generated 15 days after the file was completed at NVC - so takes around 3 weeks to receive it.

I guess by "file was completed at NVC" you mean the date on which the file was forwarded to Montreal (i.e., not the date the case was completed at NVC)? Like my case was completed at NVC on 12/17 but the file was not forwarded to Montreal until 2/1.

Hi,

I was actually referring to the 'completed' date at NVC, which for our file was November 29th or December 4th, depending on who you speak to at NVC. I was using the latter date in my calculation

bearmirus · February 13, 2008

I finally got the hard copy of the interview letter.

The letter was generated on January 25 and couple things that is worth mentioning (even to some already know this information already)

1. I did not have to go through any packet 3 /packet 4 process. As soon my case was completed, I was given an interview date at their discretion (to some, this is considered as packet 4). The letter DOES confirm that I have an Interview on March 17th at 8:00am. :dance:

2. When I spoke to the NVC operator, she mentioned something about "modified" medical information. But based on what I've seen from other VJers interview letter, I dont see anything out of ordinary.

Hi Trailmix, I don't think I ever asked you to add us to your list. We are moving right along now!

Don't get excited about this post..it's nothing special.

I called the NVC and she said that the schedule interviews the 2nd week of the month but they don't put the dates in the computer until the 3rd week. I hadn't heard that before.

Anyway, I'm impatient and I KNOW that I have my hopes up and I shouldn't. Our case was completed on the 29th..the very very end of the month.

I don't like being the only one in January!!

Are there any lurkers?!?!? I need someone to compare with!

buffalobound · February 16, 2008

Hi guys,

So, I'm preparing for my interview now. I got the interview letter from NVC and I have some questions about what I need to take to the interview.

In the letter I received, there is a page headlines "NOTICE TO VISA APPLICANTS". This page lists the documents that NVC has received.

I'm wondering if I need to take documents, for which the status states "Yes/Document Complete/reviewed".

For example, it states:

OF-169 --- Yes/Document Complete/reviewed

OF-230-I --- Yes/Document Complete/reviewed

OF-230-II --- Yes/Document Complete/reviewed

PASSPORT ---- Yes/Document Complete/reviewed

FINANCIAL EVIDENCE --- Yes/Document Complete/reviewed

BUT, for

BIRTH CERTIFICATE ---- Original Document Received

MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE ---- Original Document Received

CANADA POLICE RECORD ------ Original Document Received

So... do I take originals for where it states: "Yes/Document Complete/reviewed"?

Do I have to fill out the DS230 again? By the way, whats an OF-169?

a little confused here....

trailmix · February 17, 2008

Hi buffalobound,

My understanding is that if you have already submitted an original copy of a document you don't need to resubmit it, they will return the original to you at the interview. For things like the passport, where you just submitted a photocopy, you need to bring the original. If you only sent copies of say pay stubs etc., you will need to bring originals.

The OF-169 is just the list of documents:

Topic about it here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48043
