DS-3025 Question for AOS Application

[VisaSoldier 0]

My wifes DS-3025 has a box at the bottom checked, Vaccine History Incomplete, and then it says below that the "Applicant may be eligible for blanket waiver(s) because vaccination(s) not medically appropriate (as indicated above)

Above, the boxes say are checked for 6 Vaccinations, as not Age Appropriate. I am trying to figure out what a blanket waiver is, and if I need to complete a I-693, because she has already done the medical, and it has only been about 6 months, so I am still inside of the year, and she turned over her medical records to immigration at her POE.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is a common question, there are many many threads on this question and the answer is the same.

If her shots are up to date then she can just send a copy of the DS-3025 with her I-485. If she's missing shots (like in the UK they can't get Varicella) then she'll need to see a CS to update her shots.

I personally would just send the DS-3025 and see if she gets an RFE which is easy to deal with, especially seeing they sometimes they lose the K1 medical and make you do a new one.

I have the same thing "Vaccine History Incomplete - Applicant may be eligible for blanket waiver because vaccination not medically appropriate". I submitted only my DS-3025 for my AOS. If I receive RFE for not having filed the I-693 that is the time I will see a CS. However, I am crossing my fingers not to have any RFE.

Look up the nearest civil surgeon in your area, show the DS3025 to the doctor and a blank i693-A. the doctor is the authority uscis requires to say that your wife's vaccination is complete/has been completed etc. after your appt, the form will be handed back to you in a sealed envelope which is then what you submit with your other AOS requirements.

if time is not an issue with you, you can risk delay by sending the ds3025 on its own and pray that whoever evaluates your application for completeness with overlook the requirement (although this rarely happens).

to be sure, go to uscis.gov, click on forms, i693 and click on the instructions =)

Actually there's no such thing as an I-693A anymore.

And actually (again) the DS-3025 is often fine by itself. They finally fixed that issue. As long as the shots were completed (best that could be) at the K1 medical it'll be fine because THAT is the requirement. The DS-3025 doesn't need to SAY complete because it's practically impossible to be totally complete. Best case I can mention is my friend Astrid - approved in 46 days with no interview, no RFE, no expedite and submitted just a DS-3025.

This is not correct. The I-693A is not used anymore and hasn't been for a few years now.

If you had all the required shots at the time of your medical when the DS-3025 was filled out, then you only need to include a copy of it in your AOS package. If you still needed shots after you arrived in the US, then you need to see a civil surgeon to have them transcribed onto the I-693. Bring a copy of your DS-3025 so they can transcribe the ones checked off there plus any new ones you needed.

I am trying to figure out what a blanket waiver is,

It is a waiver you do not have to apply for. The adjudicator can waive any shots that were not appropriate for her at the time of the exam. If your DS3025 (adults) lists

• Td or Tdap or DT or DTP or DTaP within last 10 yrs
  
• MMR
  
• Varicella or VH written in for having chickenpox
  
• Flu shot if exam was between Oct 1-Mar 31
  

then you would be fine as long as the document is signed and dated by the doctor. It's not your photocopy of the DS3025 that's important, but the one in the files with your other medical exam results. (read p. 4 of the I-693 instructions) Sending a photocopy just helps alert them to check your medical file to find the complete vaccination report.

Getting a K1 visa doesn't mean she got all the needed shots. If any shots are missing from your DS-3025, then you have to get a civil surgeon to update your immunizations on an I-693.
