Thanks for the reply. The main issue is that the list of vaccines is "age-specific" and "patient specific". A lot of doctors in my area are only accepting current patients apparently. Just puzzled by this...they offer the service for would be immigrants. How can they even have anyone in this...

I am considering filing I130/485 for my parents and had a question on the medical exams. They are from India and as such have no vaccination records. Both are above 60. I live in MA and called a couple of designated civil surgeons. Thier exam fees + cost of 2 vaccines was ~240. However both...

Yeah its just weird..they ask you to submit it on the instructions and when you do then they don't do anything with it..oh well

"They usually put a stamp" Passport canceled since holder acquired US nationality" on the 2nd page and in the last but one page (pages with lot of wordings). If you did not receive that stamp but got your OCI then don't bother. " Thanks for the reply! I checked again and there is no such...

WE ARE U.S. CITIZENS! Oath went off without hitch at Boston yesterday. 2717 folks took the oath in all. Took about 4 hours because of the volume. Actual "ceremony" took less than an hour Self D/O : Boston, MA 10/27/08 : N-400 Mailed to VSC 10/29/08 : N-400 Recd. by VSC 10/30/2008 ...

Good luck to you too. I guess we are almost at the finish line of this long and tiring race :)

For what its worth, I didn't mention it on my app (didn't think I needed to). However I mentioned the speeding ticket during my interview after reading several posts on this issue. The IO told me that I was right in not including my 1 speeding ticket as a citation since it was a "minor" offense...

"You do not have to include absences of less than 24 hrs, so your first and last days fall into this category. " That's correct. Partial days in the U.S. are considered full days in the U.S. so you don't need to include those days. It is definitely in USCIS literature, I can't remember which...

The line I was asked to read was "When is Columbus day?". The IO then asked me to write her answer to the same question i.e. "Columbus day is in October". Boston DO
