Hi everyone

Anyway I stated to do my AOS papers, I want everything to be ready when we receive the marriage certificate. SO... I heard from a friend that they required her to have a new medical, but in the instruction i read they saying that if ur K1 holder ur overseas exam is valid for an year. What happened in your case did u need a new medical?

Thank u all !

You need to find out which doctors are eligible to provide you with a medical report to clear you for AOS. Sometimes, they accept bringing in proof of certain shots you have already taken but you need to provide proof of that.

Not sure which area you are in but you can maybe call your local application support center and find out which doctor you can go to.

My medical exam was less than a year from the date I was applying for AOS, so another medical exam was not necessary, just the Vaccination Supplement.

When I was taking my medical in my country in the end they gave me a photo copy of the vaccination passport it's like a big page with all the vaccines I got. But... when i was going i had my HPV vaccine (this the most expensive one) but when i came here they didn't have the same brand here another brand is approved for use...and i didn't get the full course. But i read that from Jan this year the HPV vaccines are not required any more. I called my doctor and she told me that is not good to get different brands of the vaccine plus now we traing for a baby and i don't suppose to get it if I'm pregnant.

So now i have to find one of this doctors here and get all again?

My medical will b like 3 mounts when i post the papers... that's way less than an year.

As long as your medical was completed less than a year before applying for AOS then you won't need to do it again.

The problem is some CS's (civil surgeons) are "forcing" K1's to do medical's because they themselves aren't reading their instructions, and because some don't like doing the "cheaper" vaccination transcription.

If your medical was completed in less than a year, you will be able to take your DS-3025 (vaccination sheet) in to a CS and ask them to transcribe it.

'If your medical was completed in less than a year, you will be able to take your DS-3025 (vaccination sheet) in to a CS and ask them to transcribe it.'

My medical was completed 3 mounts ago. The only thing is that i didn't have the full HPV vaccination process cuz all this with the brands and that i want to get pregnant.

So... I read in the immigration page that since Jan 2010 the HPV vaccinations and the HIV tests are not required any more.

I have a photocopy of my vaccination page (they gave me this after my medical). Can i use it to apply for the AOS or as u said i gatta ask 4 transcribe? what is CS?

so in any case i gatta contact an authorized doctor?

You are correct. HPV is no longer required. if you want to do it, that's up to you, but it's not required for AOS any more.

In short, according to the paperwork you don't HAVE to have the vaccination sheet transcribed but since around November 09 people have been getting RFE's for not submitting the I-693. You can try it. An RFE isn't BAD, it just slows you down a little, it doesn't necessarily mean denial.

A CS is a civil surgeon. Some people don't have shots completed when they come to the US and need more when they arrive, in which case they would need to see a CS to get the new shots they've got (and the old ones) transcribed into the I-693 form.

Read the link I posted in my previous post above as it will explain it in more details and more clearly.

I called the immigration ppl d last nite they told me that i gatta go 2 a CS in any case to validate the vaccinations or something so i'll give him a call 2nite.

Humm... I was wondering if i need a new medical cuz they saying that after jan 2010 thay will not accept I-683 filled in the old forms. But when i called the immigration guy didn't say nothing about this. They said only the Vaccination passport.

I don't know if they consider my old medical as submitted or not...
