    I did a wedding at the county court house on Monday. It was very quick and easy. The clerk even provided two witnesses - her husband and daughter - at no extra cost! No pictures were taken, but we were promised that a marriage certificate would arrive in a few days.

    I got all my vaccinations bar one for free before leaving the United Kingdom. I was surprised to hear that a K-1 visa holder can get a COVID booster vaccination for free in the United States. I flew into Chicago on August 11th. It was a very underwhelming experience that was over in less than ten minutes. Hopefully, you will just be waved through. Vaccinations only become necessary when you apply for adjustment of status.

    Is that common practice in the United States - having one lawyer to represent both parties in a divorce? I have never heard of that happening in my own country. Can I ask why he wants a divorce after just two months?

    Okay. Just tell the doctor what you have told us here. "Past trauma has led my therapist to suspect I have X condition, though I have never received a formal diagnosis. With the help of my therapist I manage my condition well. My current course of therapy has just come to a successful conclusion. I have never been hospitalised or been required to take medication. Through all these problems I have held down a demanding job."

    I got given a few forms at the end of the medical. Presumably that was one of them. I got some vaccines at my GP surgery last week and a covid booster this afternoon. I asked Visa Medicals for a new form, but they said it could not be changed after going to the embassy. The pharmacist at Boots said I could not have the varicella vaccine as I have had the MMR vaccine in the last month. I may get a second opinion on that one.

    It sounds like you are managing your condition well. Going to therapy then stopping, then starting again is an experience lots of us can relate to. You could try referring yourself privately to a consultant psychiatrist or clinical psychologist. Get your notes and have an person meeting. Then ask them to give an opinion. That would give you something concrete to take the visa medical. What will your police report show any evidence mental health problems have brought you to the attention of the police?

    You say you have a significant diagnosis, but you also say it has only been verbally confirmed. Is it possible to get it put in writing? What do you mean when you say you are coming to the end of a period of treatment? What happens afterwards? They like to see that problems are in the past or under control. Not ever been having hospitalised will show that you are less likely to be a public charge. Are you in long term employment? How will you take care of your medical needs and expenses once you are in the United States?
  13. Lee Thacket
    What kind of proof do they ask for? Any? Or did they just accept what you said?
  14. Lee Thacket
    Visa Medicals WILL ask you for a summary of your medical history and an immunisation record. At the end of my medical I had a short discussion with a nurse about my vaccination history. You are given documentation that tells you VERY CLEARLY what you need to do next.

    I have no recollection of having had chicken pox. My father and mother don't remember it either. I have no scars. The presumption has to be that if you didn't have it then you need a vaccine. As you say it is not a good idea to lie.
  16. Lee Thacket
    Here is what the form from Visa Medicals says: *Varicella - Documentation of previous infection/immunity screen OR commence course OR documentation of Shingles virus
  17. Lee Thacket
    The form I have from Visa Medicals says a number of things. One thing it does not say is "They will accept your word for it"
  18. Lee Thacket
    No scars and no recollections.
  19. Lee Thacket
    I was referring to my medical records. I don't have a chicken pox scar and I don't remember ever having the disease. My mother does not remember me having it either. I could ask about having a blood test to check my immunity. I read in several places you should not have the varicella vaccine soon after having MMR.
  20. Lee Thacket
    There is no record of me having chicken pox as a child or being vaccinated against it. Therefore I have to have it.
