Vaccinations for medical exams ?

[Jason & Masha 0]

Hello again all,

So my fiancee has scheduled her medical exam (October 2nd) and her interview (October 31st). (Finaly!!) However, my fiancee does not have her medical records to show the vaccinations she has had in the past. I was told by other VJ members that this was not too important. My fiancee spoke with a woman from an approved medical exam place. This woman said she did not need any vaccinations for her K1 visa. I don't think this woman knows what she's talking about. She did say however that they could give her all the required vaccinations for an additional $20. Again, my fiancee does not have any papers for her vaccination records. Should she just get the shots to be safe (even if she already has some)? What do you guys think?

Thank you!

You don't need vaccinations for K1 visa so she is right.

You do need them for AOS and for $20 and if they will give her the official proof on the US government form then that's a good deal.

What Gowon said is correct. Vaccinations are no longer required for K1 applicants; however, later on, when you need to adjust her status (AOS), she will be required to have them. Most likely, if she gets them here getting those vaccines, will get really expensive (unless after married she gets your health insurance and it's a good one).

So, if she can get the vaccines there for $20; go for it
