My husband is going for his medical exam in a few week. In brazil, they have a vaccine card that they need to keep but he doesn't have his so will need to do vaccines again.

Anyone else need to get vaccines with medical and if so, do they do in same place or will I need to schedule appt for a diff day

I don't know for Brazil, but I know in most countries it is MUCH more expensive to have the vaccines at the Medical exam. Also some of them are multi-injection series. You might want to consider paying for them out of pocket at medical appointments with his own doctor ahead of time.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.
2011: Realized we needed to evaluate our status as friends when we realized we were talking about raising children together.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.

November 13, 2013: Meet in person to see if this could work. It's perfect. We plan to elope to Boston, MA.

May 12, 2014: NOA1.

Why would you bring joint sponsor if you don;t need. When it says bring updated that's if you updated. Because its tax season many of you April and May interviews you need to update.

Now if her salary is borderline than yes bring joint sponsor. If you need one you have to have all years covered and their 2014 most up to date tax documents not just 2 years ago.

Thank you Dwheels for the clarification.

Now I got my P4 the 20th of february telling me that my interview appointement is for the 2nd of april, as i said i am so scared that my visa would be denied by the consulate in Casablanca , for some reason , can anyone please help me , do you think i have any Red Flags or maybe luck of bonafide knowing that we have a son together , and tons of engagement and wedding parties pictures, plus our phone calls and text messages on tongo,Skype,whatsapp..

. Hello dwheels,

Above is the most important one.

Well you didn't say much about thigs s no way of knowing Red flags. People don;t get denied ecause they have red flags they get denied mostly whe they can;t covine the CO they have a bonafide relationship.

Aside of pictures and such which really doesn't matter how much face time have you had together. That's your most important evidence not a baby or anything but your time together a true relationship.

Just be confident and not negative at your interview answer the questions If you don't know you don't know no questioning for the "right" answer.

Have you reviewed your countried interview reviews to see how others rate the embassy and CO Those reviews are vital and you should read everyone of them to gain insight.

If you know your spouse and there are no skeletons in the closet you should ave no issues. Be sure o have baby with you at interview.

He can contact the Embassy and ask to be slotted into an earlier date in the event of a cancellation; that is the only way an earlier interview will be possible. Pregnancy will not be a factor.

If your Status on the tracker says Ready (means petition is at embassy) you can email them and request an earlier date. You may or may not get it no oe can say. Some embassies are more accommodating then others don;t know about yours.

You the petitioner being pregnant why would that be an issue for anything. Request an earlier date is the only way you will get one. Loo at the first post there is a sample of how you can write up a brief email.

Am having trouble posting the link.

Google USCIS ELIS and you can find it from the search results.

He needs to register first. The instructions registering are pretty straight forward.

Thanks.
