MMR Booster injection

[no one 2 0]

When I went to my medical at KnightsBridge I got my MMR and was told that I would need the booster after 4 weeks. Do I need to go to an approved CS to get this booster or can I just go to my local doctors for the booster as long as I take my card to be signed by the doctor? as i can get this fro free. Will this be acceptable for AOS purposes or am I just wasting my time?

You can get any doctor to do it, and you bring the proof to the CS and s/he signs off on it. You might want to check with the CS first just so you don't waste time/trips, but I have seen many do this (my husband's included).

If everything is covered (MMR, Tdap or Td, and VH written by varicella) on your DS-3025 then you're done. No need for another booster or Civil Surgeon. One shot of a series is acceptable. If you choose to go to a CS then yes a booster will be in order because 4 weeks will have passed. But if you were as up to date as possible at Knightsbridge, then they go by that date and waive the booster which was not medically appropriate to get the same day you had the first MMR. Go to a civil surgeon and you get a new medical date of record and must be up to standard as of the new date. No medical reason by then why a booster couldn't be given.

Hi. I'm sorry maybe I am using the wrong terms. I thought a civil surgeon was just an USCIS approved doctor. Also, I will not be applying for AOS for about 5 months from now and would like to get the booster before that time. Are you saying that the record of the first MMR shot will be acceptable for AOS under these circumstances and I can get the booster from any doctor at all? Since I beleive the medical is good for 1 year for the AOS process I wasn't planning on getting another medical done. It does say insufficient timing for MMR now on my record, but by the time I file for AOS it will be far past time to get it.

Besides Knights Bridge saying I need that booster everything else is done. All others are just as you say or marked not age appropriate.

Thanks you for your patience and help.

Knightsbridge is not completely knowledgeable about AOS. Read this post and see if your DS 3025 is filed out like 1-4 says. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/315533-i-693-or-ds-3025/page__p__4732435#entry4732435

If so then your medical and immunizations with no further booster will be acceptable for AOS as long as you file before a year passes. They go by the Knightsbridge date and record.

Doctors approved for immigration form signing ---

In the USA called Civil Surgeons

In a foreign country called Panel Physicians

Knightsbridge is not a civil surgeon.

Read that post and tell me if your form has ALL those items.

Got them all. Thanks so much for the help with that form and also defining those terms.
