Hello all,
my fiance is going to be moving here to the US on a K-1 visa this November. And we are currently starting to figure out everything he needs to bring/send.
He takes a few different prescription medications and the plan was for him to bring a 3 month supply of each medication with him. So he'll have enough to last him until I can add him to my insurance and he can see a doctor here and get new prescriptions.
These aren't medications that he needs in case of an emergency where he would have to have them on him, so they would just be in his checked luggage.
For anyone who has had to bring a large amount of medication with them, is there anything he should have to show CBP? like a letter from his doctor or something? In case they ask?
Or something like a letter to pack with his medication, in case they open his luggage to inspect it?
One of his medications is something that is refrigerated, since it'll be November, what are the chances we would need to put that medication with like an ice pack in his checked bag? Or is that something he should carry with him with an ice pack?
hes brought medication with him before when he was visiting, but it was only ever about 2 weeks worth so it wasn't something we really thought about.
any advice is appreciated!
