Africa: Sub-Saharanno packet 3 or med appontment w/out passport
"I got my packet in my mail box and proceeded to contact the embassy and the doctors ( Dr. Dogra) for a medical appointement. My medical appointment was on the 21 of january. Had stool, urine, blood and physical checks.This costs me Kshs. 8700 and 1000 shilling , which you pay separately for the chest xray at an appointed centre. The girls at the reception are friendly and are willing to help. It took me 4 hours to complete my tests on that day.

I was given an appointment today for the vaccinations , there are 4 vaccinations for women the MMR Combinatiion ( 3) and HPV . The cervical cancer vaccination ( HPV) is expensive - It costs something like Kshs- 11,600.The total bill (for women) comes to Kshs.21,300. They informed me that i had passed the medical and can go ahead with my interview. The place gets busy during the day so its better to be there early."


This is edited from my previous post on Nairobi thread and if you have children its more - so the price is not different from the 400 dollars . Whta i paid was about 320 dollars


I would advice to go and pick the Packet 3 first and and let her be there as early as possible for the packet 3 as it gets busy


all the best

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I finally got hold of the embassy yesterday and transferred me to the Visa Dept. and I asked if my wife could pick up the packet (before I called them, I sent them an email and to my surprise and there was already an answer this morning. That was quick!) and if she needed an appointment, the lady who was kind and nice said no and that I could come pick any M-TR at 8:00am. Then I called Dr. Asuga again to see if Monday was still available. She told me that she had already put me down for Monday @1pm. So I asked what my wife needed to bring with us and she told me that she can provide me with the medical forms for the doc to fill out. She said that she had copies of the med forms. But I still should go to the Consulate right and pick up my packet 3? That's what I am planing to do. My wife goes leaves Mombasa on Sunday and arrives Monday morning and then goes to the Embassy, picks up the packet 3 and then goes to her med exam appointment. Sounds like a plan, right?

Btw, the price is way different than what I had read on the Nairobi threat.

QUOTE
The exam is around $105 but the cost for vaccinations depends on how many he/she needs. $245 is the estimated cost for all, but most pay around $100-$150. It's recommended that you get as many vaccinations before-hand since the Nairobi doctors can be expensive. Also, a chest x-ray is required.


She told me the total price was 400.00 USD. I was shocked because I was under the impression of the above quote. Anyway, no complains as my Queen is worth every penny, but I was just surprised.

Anyway, thank you bro/sis. God bless you and your family.

take care and peace

Hope you are well

Normally the US , embassy sends packet 3 in your mail( kenya address) you used for your wife. If not, with a copy of NOA2 your wife should be able to walk to the embassy and show the security guards that . You dont need an appointment to pick K -3 /K1/K2 packet. THis was indicated in my letter from the embassy. Another thing the embassy doesn't work on FRIDAYS - so its unlikely that you will have someone answer your phone. You must get your Medical forms from the Embassy , if you didn't receive them in your mail.

MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

Such medical examinations must be performed by one of the following physicians:
NAIROBI

Tel 041-2222857/8

The one in Bold ( IOM ) was added early this year and for the better part of January it was the only one on the embassy website, you may contact them for an appointment- im sure they will be the ones handling Nairobi for now or alternatively contact the Mombasa panel physician.

The direct number to immigrant visa Unit is + 254203636492/ or use the switch board +254203636000, Monday - Thursday excluding American and Kenyan Holidays and last wednesday of every month or you can email to consularnairob@state.gov, state your case number . Pls note that everytime you call them you have to give them your case number so have it with you.

BTW............... There is a checklist in the packet .............. for all docs needed by the embassy. So get you packet first.

I hope this helps

I dont think in english we use it to describe resemblance in people e.g.

you be the exact carbon copy of your father means you are the exact replica of your father .

I found it funny but forgive me , english not my first language.

OK so maybe I'm dating myself but Carbon Copy isn't just an African term - LOL! There used to be this terrible carbon paper one would put under a sheet of paper to make two copies. What do you think the CC in an email stands for? Carbon Copy would be the answer smile.gif

Didn't know the others though thanks!

My fiance got approved on the 7th.  His case was created on the CEAC on the 9th and Issued on the 10th.  We have heard NOTHING.  He has been passed around DX and they say they don't have anything.  He was set to fly out on Wednesday, but with no visa, that will be impossible.  Is there any other place we can call?  Everyone says it takes only like 1-2 days after it says issued, but that doesn't seem to be the case with us.  Any help?

POE was a piece of cake...he got the EAD stamp, and everything was quite painless. We're having our civil union on Friday, and hopefully we'll get to send out AOS/EAD/AP on Monday...

We went to an open house at the site where we're having our celebratory wedding in December. We talked to several vendors, sampled one of the approved caterers and two of the bakers, and even saw what the honeymoon suite looked like. I think Darren was a little overwhelmed at first, but he has warmed up to idea of two weddings and is looking forward to a great time even planning it with me.

I know that you are counting the days and hours till you return to your beloved (I know that feeling very well)...I'm so excited for you!!!


Thats great im so pleased for you, I was thinking of Darren knowing how long a trip it is for him.

We cannot book our civil wedding until I have the ssn card so thats a nuisance.

We are both excited about me going now, after all the worry with the medical I think privately we were both thinking it may not happen.

Remember we want pics dawn lol.

Ive been watching some of the new filers having to wait 60 days plus, we were just all so lucky to have filed in January.
