So what next?

Hello everyone!

Okay, so I received packet 3 on Thursday (November 8th), and so far, I have:

- Ordered a new birth certificate (mine is tattered and hard to read)

- Made the appointment for my medical (December 3rd)

- Got the requisition for titer test (MMR, TDP, Hep. B ) - will be going Monday, November 12th to the hospital to have it done for FREE

- Got the prescription for Varicella vaccine

- Found the record of having received TDP as a child

- Made the appointment for my RCMP check (tomorrow, November 11th)

- Filled out DS-230 & DS-156K

- Asked Evan & our co-sponsor to get their paperwork in order and to fill out their I-134s

- Made an appointment with my Neurologist (November 22nd; will have to be changed to the following week as I'll be in WV)

Am I missing anything?

Seeing as the titer test takes up to 3 weeks for some of the results and that I need to get my neurologist's statement, am I better off rescheduling the medical for a week or two later than the current appointment?

Also, with the checklist, what EXACTLY do I need to send in?

From what I understood, it's simply the checklist, DS-230 part I and DS-156. However, the only version of DS-156 I've been able to find expired on September 30th, 2007 - do I still use it?

Thank you all for reading, and for your help!

Vaccinations are not a requirement for K-Visas, they are required when adjusting status in the USA. But looks like you have everything in order.

About the I-134: The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

In our case this what the I-134 included.

• I-134 signed and notarized.

• SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

• Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)

• Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.

• Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.

My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

If your income exceeds 125% of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.

If vaccinations are not required and you do not want them until you come to the US, will this cause a problem with the doctors doing the medicals. My fiancee is coming form Thailand and it appears everyone going to the assigned doctors there are receiving vaccinations. I kind of think it is a way for the Thai doctors to pad their bills.

No problem with the foreign doctor giving medicals, K-Visas are NON-Immigrant and don't require vaccinations only Immigrants need vaccinations as well as those adjusting from NON-immigrant to immigrant in the USA (AOS)
