HI,

 

Is there a particular doctor that my wife will need to go to? I think that she has to get some shots. when she sees the doctor, is there anything in particular that she will have to explain to the doctor?

Medical needs to be handled around the time NVC completes their process within a couple weeks before interview appointment.

 

There is only a handful of designated medical centers that handle the medical exams for immigration. The locations are noted in this document: http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/MedicalRequirements.pdf

 

As for vaccinations needed.

 

Standard requirements are:

• MMR
• TD
• Varicella
• Flu if it is flu season.
• HPV is NOT a requirement per immigration.

Can get the required vaccinations at family doctor and bring the shot record to the designated medical facility and have the record added to the medical report.
