DS-3025 Question

[DanKorn 0]

Hello everyone,

My fiancee and I just arrived on the K-1 Visa and we are ready to get married. In preparation, we are looking for all of the AOS information, but I have one question.

My fiancee never received a DS-3025 after completing her medical exam, x-rays, and vaccinations in Ecuador. From what I have read there are varying opinions as to whether you need this or not in order for the Civil Surgeon to complete their work.

My question then is: do we go to the civil surgeon and tell them this and they will know what to do or will this slow up the process?

Thanks in advance.

There are not varying opinions about whether you need the DS-3025 to take to a CS. You DEFINITELY need the DS-3025 OR I-693 (I sent both but either is fine). There are varying opinions on whether you need the I-693 or not. Varying opinions on sending the 3025 AND 693.. but not whether the DS-3025 is needed (if you don't see a CS it's needed to be sent with the AOS docs, if you DO see a CS it's needed to transcribe shots). It's definitely needed, but if you don't have it, there is a solution.

If your fiancee does not have her DS-3025, she will need a blood titre to determine her current immunities. She doesn't need to see a CS for that but she will need to take the results to a CS to transcribe into the I-693. She will also need to get an shots that she's "down" on. The simplest thing (and cheapest) is to contact the doctor in her home country and have the 3025 sent to her (or a family member who then sends it to her). The bottom of the DS-3025 clearly states that she's supposed to receive a copy so getting the doc to send it shouldn't be an issue (as long as s/he retained a copy).

Thanks for the information. My fiancee asked, but she was never given that form in Ecuador. We will probably have to have the immunization check done here then, correct?
