Thank you, visaapp. Hope your parents' processing goes smoothly, and they arrive safely.
Danp, your mother can take her immunization records to her medical check-up. The doctor will decide what she needs. Usually, in my limited experience, I have observed that even if one does not have any record, the doctor administers only a couple of shots. Regarding the visitor's visa rejections, they don't figure in an immigrant visa interview, unless something illegal turns up. So don't worry (my mother's visitor's visa application was rejected twice, and no mention of that was made in her interview).
Thank you, Abby. Don't worry about your parents at all. There is no interview conducted at the port of entry. All that your parents need to show is the immigrant visa in the passport, and the sealed envelope given by the consulate (for each of them). Their passports will be stamped to show that they have entered, the sealed envelopes will be taken, and each of them will be fingerprinted (index finger only). My mother said that nothing was asked at all. The processing was extremely quick. Good luck to your parents!
