    Which visa category? If you could fill out your timeline it would be helpful.
  2. appleblossom
    It will depend on the Visa Bulletin at the time. At the moment, it would be slightly better ( F1 category those who applied in Feb 2015 are now eligible for visas, versus Nov 2015 for F2B's). But that may change, all you can do is wait and see. He can choose to keep his category as F2B if it would be beneficial when the time comes.

    Or not even that, if you're from the UK - we were never asked about it, and none of us had any record of having had chickenpox on our medical records either. It was just marked as 'routinely not available' and that was that, medicals passed.

    You're still well within normal processing times, especially with a RFE. According to the case processing times tool, earliest you can enquire is September. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ What was the RFE for?

    We had our interview (last year) on a Monday, got the tracking number late on the Wednesday and passports delivered the next morning. Hope that helps.

    OK, so if she's just visiting the UK, the it's not just the medical history that she won't be able to get, she also won't be able to get things like the UK police cert? Tbh I'm really surprised that London accepted her case if she's not resident there, they're usually super strict on that.

    How did you apply? I'd say no if it wasn't a marriage based application.
  8. appleblossom
    Previously you've said your wife is the beneficiary? So you don't need your summary care record at all, she just needs hers.

    He can't phone the consulate about it, he needs to phone Visa Medicals. Or (probably easier) just call his doctor to try and decode his medical record if it's not clear to him what vaccinations he's had. If he's had all the other standard vaccinations and lived in the UK then I'm pretty sure he'll have had pertussis as part of one of the normal childhood jabs. Good luck.

    You can do it yourself in account settings - think it's under the privacy bit? Don't think your posts will be deleted, but your profile info will be. HTH.
  11. appleblossom
    Yep, I was responding to the comment you made before you edited your post, my response is out of date now. 😂

    The 6 in 1 jab that @milimelo mentioned has both. See the link I gave above about polio vaccines in the UK, here's the info on the 6 in 1 - https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/files/pil.2586.pdf
  13. appleblossom
    But you said above he'd had DTAP (which is pertussis), now you say it's DTP - has he had both? If not, which is it? @SalishSea, in the UK polio isn't routinely given separately. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/polio/
  14. appleblossom
    Yep, I had the TD at my medical, as my last tetanus shot was more than 10 years previously. No idea on the ones with Pertussis though as we all had them as children so didn't need to have them again. But Knightsbridge will do any that are missing, and if they can't do them, they'll mark them as not available. Will cost more doing it that way but I suspect it'll be easier in the long run as Visa Medicals will know what is and what isn't required.

    You also can't fault the guy who grabbed 4 slices if everybody else decided that they'd rather have a hamburger. It's up to each consulate which visa categories they prioritise and give interview slots to each month. If they don't want the pizza then that's up to them, just means there's more for everybody else.

    Odd, but if it's not available to adults then it's not available. Same as the varicella vaccine which is required for US immigration, but which is waived for UK applicants, as we can't get it there. Just give them a call and ask, they're super helpful and they'll be able to tell him if they'll mark it as 'not routinely available' of it it will be an issue and he'll need a waiver.

    The P in DTAP is Pertussis, not Polio. https://www.aboutwhoopingcough.com/tdap-vaccine/tdap-and-dtap/#:~:text=What is the difference between,for infants and young children and https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/dtap-tdap-td/public/index.html They're given routinely in the UK so he should have had it as a child (all 4 of us had had it, ranging in age from early teens to mid fifties). https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/immunisation/vaccines/the-4-in-1-vaccine But if he's unsure then he can check with his doctor, or if he hasn't actually had his medical yet (I assume not) then he can phone and ask them to double check. Good luck.
  18. appleblossom
    Has he actually had his medical yet? Any missing vaccines can be given there, we each had a couple given to us last summer when we had ours (different ones for each of us).
  19. appleblossom
    Ah perfect. Yes, may as well give it a go, good luck.
  20. appleblossom
    Just in case you're not already aware, you've missed the boat for 2025 FY unless it's a cap exempt role. Good luck.

    Fair enough, it just seemed like even if you are granted the visa you wouldn’t enjoy the run up to the holiday though as you’d be worrying too much. So personally I’d say sod it and go somewhere else! But I’m probably biased as I really didn’t like it, I’m not a Florida fan so the thought of putting myself through all of that stress for it makes no sense to me. 😂 Good luck with it, hope you get the visa and then have a fabulous holiday.
  22. appleblossom
    It’s none of my business and really I’m musing out loud (so please don’t feel you have to answer) but I’m wondering why you are putting yourself through this when you could holiday somewhere else? Paris has a Disney too, my kids loved it, more than the one in Florida. And you wouldn’t have to worry the whole way there. It just seems like a lot of stress, hassle and anxiety, is it really worth it?
  23. appleblossom
    Typically validity will be for 5-10 years (each visit up to 6 months - you can be given less though). And yes, a visa doesn't guarantee entry.
  24. appleblossom
    You'll be resident from the moment you become a GC holder. We've just done our first tax returns and our accountants/tax advisors were very clear on that. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/us-tax-residency-green-card-test
  25. appleblossom
    Do they perhaps mean the info you're given about it when you get sent the GC in the first place? Rather than a separate letter about it. AFAIK, they don't send out reminders.
