DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

You will need to navigate to the your consulate's page in https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/list-of-posts.html. Within that consulate page, you will find the medical exam instructions and the list of approved physicians. If you navigate to one of the physicians website(if any), you should find the list of mandatory vaccinations by age group. Or you could also call the approved physician's office and inquire about the same.

Hello everyone
Do any of you know what vaccines are required for the diversity visa? I looked on the embassy website but I'm not sure if all of these vaccines are mandatory.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Please don’t spam the boards by posting the same question in more than one thread.

A diversity visa is an immigrant visa and requires the same vaccines as any other immigrant visa as determined by the CDC. What is required in your particular case depends on your age, whether or not you have any contraindications, what vaccines you had before, what illnesses you had before, what is available in your country, and whether or not it is flu season.


Yes, you can call your local panel doctor and ask. Many will tell you not do do anything in advance of the medical exam other than maybe take a titer test and possibly now, the Covid vaccine especially if it’s a two step one where you are.

Hello,
I apologize if I have interfered with the thread. I thought it would be more appropriate to post on both the "DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)" conversation and the "DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES" conversation.

Indeed, the participants of the 2 conversation threads are different but are as well concerned as each other and could therefore bring me their help.
In any case, thank you for your answer and for your help to all.
I was able to get the answer I was looking for and that's the main thing.
 
Sharing this info for future DV applicants in Montreal based on recent experience , these are in addition to what is listed on the official website , preparing this can help you have smoother interview

1) Translation: they are looking to see original translation and provide photocopy , this can be problem if you got translation by email or it is simply a print that you can't differentiate between it and copy
Also , if your birth certificate or any other document are multiple pages , translate all pages , even if the information in these pages are just template or trivial
2) Status in Canada : if you are not submitting Canadian passport , you need to show legal status in Canada like PR card , and photocopy
3) Education : while they list to bring high school degree , they asked for all degrees including high school ( not only high school or high school + highest degree ) , and photocopy
4) If you have US citizen kid , Bring his/her passport
5) Financial : not everyone was asked about it , but some got asked about it , be prepared to show proof of financial means to self support.
6) Medical Test results are now electronically submitted by panel physician to consulate , it is no longer hand submitted by applicant

This is personal opinion , if you get short notice for interview ( I really wish no one has to go with same situation ) , Dr. Lyndon Mascarenhas was super accommodating and helping in this situation for Medical test with short notice

Good luck to everyone .
 
Hi All! I am just double-checking as we want to stay out of trouble. We entered 3 weeks ago, we have the admitted stamps on our MRIVs abd we received our SS cards. Are we allowed to start working immediately while we are waiting for the actual green cards to be produced or is there any step in between? Thanks!

Hi All! Sorry to bother you again, but there is one weird thing happening, I am not sure if that is normal. My wife's case status is nicely progressing, it has been already updated to Card mailed, however mine is still stuck on Immigrant fee payment received. I am the primary applicant and we entered together of course. Is this normal?

How long ago did you enter and how long ago did her status change? A few days difference sometimes happens, if it’s longer than that there is usually a problem, however you can’t raise an inquiry until 3 months after entry.

We entered on the 20th of September. Her status changed on the 12th of October to Card is being produced and it changed today on the 15th to Card is being mailed to me. Mine is still on Immigrant fee payment received. (we paid the fees together on the 3rd of September)
I find it kinda weird as I am the primary applicant.

Once the LPR status gets activated, the principal/primary applicant and derivative becomes irrelevant going forward.

I see, but is it common to have such a time difference in proocessing? I thought it is done more or less at the same time.

i answered that in my first response. Anyway there is nothing you can do for now. I will note that your wife’s status changed to production much faster than seems usual right now.

Yeah I will wait and try to be patient. It is getting kinda funny though, my wife's card has been already picked up by USPS, expected delivery early next week, exactly 4 weeks after entering, mine still stuck on same. I am wondering whether they are updating only one of the receipt numbers by error or something, I paid both of our immigration fees within one payment, I've read aome stories on other forums where one of the cases was stuck on the tracker, but they carda arrived together.
 
Hello everyone.
I was given a "Vaccination Documentation Worksheet", Form number DS-3025, (together with the sealed brown envelop and the X-ray CD) after the interview. Do I need to take this with me and show it to the immigration officer when I enter the US? This document is a separate 1 sheet document and is not inside the sealed brown envelop.

If it’s a separate one it’s for your own use. If you have school age kids these are useful as it “translates“ vaccinations received in a way US people can understand so can be used as proof of vaccinations. For adults there’s not really a use for it for most circumstances.

Hi Susie! One more things regarding this particular issue if I may. My wife received her card today, mine is still stuck on payment received. I was thinking, do you think the receipt number can explain any of this? We have very different receipt numbers and mine seems much higher. Might there be any relevance?
