dora_david,

Vaccinations are not required for a K visa, unless your particular consulate has made a local policy about it. But the vaccinations will be required before adjusting status and for most people it is more convenient and less expensive to get them in their home country prior to getting the visa.

Google form DS-3025.

Shots ARE needed, I dont know if you come from Cleanland Yoderak...if Germany neads them then the rest will most likly also.

I DID NOT KNOW THIS WONDERFUL INFO. THAT YODRAK GAVE
I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT AT THE MEDICAL EXAM, AT LEAST FOR MY FIANCE IN PERU, THEY ARE GOING TO TELL HER AT THE INTERVIEW WHICH VACCANATIONS SHE DOES NEED.
I WAS NOT AWARE THAT YOU DID NOT NEED ANY VACCANATIONS AT ALL TO COME. IS THAT TRUE FOR PERU YODRAK?
I THINK IN PERU EACH SHOT IS GOING TO COST $US30

BUT THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS I AM SURE THEY WILL TELL YOU WHICH ONES ARE NEEDED AT SOME POINT, AT THE INTERVIEW

Guys just go onto the goverment site and you will see what the facts are: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_1331.html

The vaccines required for Adjustment of Status for people between the ages of 19 and 64 are:

Td
MMR
Varicella

If you don't have written proof of those vaccinations, the civil surgeon will do a titer test.

Here is a link to a table of vaccinations required for AOS.

DakotaK1,

Immigrant visa applicants need vaccinations, as your reference says.

Non-immigrant visa applicants, including K-visa non-immigrants, do not need vaccinations. Not until they apply to become immigrants by applying to adjust status.

Vaccination Requirements

All applicants for immigrant visas are required to have the following vaccinations, if appropriate, for age, medical condition, or medical history:

Mumps
Measles
Rubella
Polio
Tetanus and diptheria toxoids
Pertussis
Influenza type B
Hepatitis B
Varicella
Pneumococcal

As a fiancé(e), you are not required to fulfill this requirement at the time of your medical examination for a fiancé(e) visa. However, you may want to do so. These vaccinations are required when you adjust status following your marriage.

Yes but dont you think that it is better to have them done before the AOS??? I mean we all still have insurance in our home country,during the time of the AOS alot of people wont have medical coverage in the US yet. In Germany for example the shots with an expetion of 2 are paid by the health system,so yes it does make sence to have them done before.
It is always good to the shots you need anyway,reguarding to Visa!!!

Everyone's personal situation is different. In some countries the cost of the shots is much higher than in the US. The point is, vaccinations are NOT required for K1s which are non-immigrant visas. They ARE required at the time of adjusting status in the US. If it's easier/less expensive for you to do them in Germany, do them there. For others who will pay significantly less in the US, they can choose to wait.

In practice what you are suggesting may be excellent advice... However, the OP asked what was REQUIRED for K-1 visa

DakotaK1,

Not only is it better to have them done before AOS, it's necessary to have them done before AOS.

If you're asking isn't it better to have them done before getting the visa, it may well be and I wrote as much in my first post in this thread. But not everyone is in the same situation, there may be reasons for a person to prefer to get all or some of the vaccinations after the visa, so people should know what the true requirements are and what their options are.

These are the guidelines which I am following in Canada http://www.panelphysicians.com/Pages/Age6.htm
I think it's pretty clear, hope it helps

Medical Examination and Immunization information is required at interview time, therefore posts on the subject should be made in the The Forum Embassy and Consulate General Discussion Forum which is located HERE.

You can also find the more appropriate forum by clicking on the “Forums” tab at the top of this page and scrolling down the page that opens. Look for the The Forum Embassy and Consulate General Discussion Forum link on the list.

This thread has already been moved to that forum therefore the OP does not need to resubmit it, but any research that members might want to do on the subject can be done there as well.
