AOS Help

[julie b 0]

Hi everyone,

So we are just in the homestretch now getting everything ready for AOS. It all seems pretty straightforward but there's something we are confused about. Our lawyer said we need to have a sealed envelope with medical results for AOS submission. We don't have this-it was couriered directly to the embassy for the interview. All we have is the CD with results and vaccination records. Does anyone who has already gone through this post-visa process have any advice about this?

Thanks friends!

Lawyers--- Anyway you need a copy of the DS-3025 marked "complete" from your overseas medical to send with the AOS packet.

If you do not have the DS-3025 you will need to go to a civil surgeon here and have the vaccination portion of the I-693 completed. They will give you a copy to send with the AOS packet and a sealed envelope with an original for the interview. Call around to civil surgeons the prices vary and do not let them tell you you need a complete physical--you don't if you overseas medical is not over one year. If you end up needing a civil surgeon this may help http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/231026-civil-surgeons-who-dont-rip-you-off/

Hi, im not sure what you lawyer is on about but when u went for your medical was you not given a copy of form....Vaccination Documentation Worksheet (Form DS-3025) a copy would of been forwarded to embassy as you said too, but you should of got a copy also. i was on the understanding the only thing on the CD was your chest xray..unless im wrong. I belive it should be in your packet you handed over at POE..so you should be fine, though we did scan another copy and send in with our AOS package but it certainly wasnt sealed..he might be on about form I-693 which is not needed in your case as you had your medical already. all the best.

Part of this is incorrect. The results section does NOT have to say "complete". 1000% positive on that. You also do not have to have a DS-3025 but it' s useful to check to know if you are complete.(See explanation below)

Your lawyer is giving you information that applies to people who are already living in the US (student or work visa) that apply for AOS. They haven't had a medical exam overseas so get a full exam and sealed results (Form I-693) to mail with the AOS application. Your medical exam was in the sealed envelope you turned in at POE. It will be matched up with your AOS application and serve to clear you medically for AOS. Sometimes they lose it and don't make the match- up. If that happens, then the USCIS will notify you. Don't get another exam unless they happen to lose the one from Knightsbridge.

You don't even have to have the DS-3025 photocopy to send with AOS. The original is in the sealed envelope turned in at POE along with the other papers. It's the official untampered with form. Your photocopy is just a little reminder that your shots were complete and documented by a panel physician.

You may not have a complete DS-3025 (vaccination sheet) that will be accepted. Here's what to look for to see if yours is complete.

Look at your DS-3025. If it has the following items, you don't need an I-693 completed by a US civil surgeon for your immunizations

1. Shots marked (at least one of a series, date no longer than 10 years ago)

• MMR
  
• Td or Tdap or DT or DTP or DtaP
  
• Varicella- VH written by it if you had chickenpox. If you don't have VH then you're not complete and will have to get varicella in the US..
  
• Influenza (only during flu season Oct 1-Mar 31)
  

2. Everything else marked not age appropriate, or insufficient time interval, or not flu season

3. RESULTS section filled in with "incomplete... may be eligible for blanket waiver"

4. Signed and dated by the doctor

If it's not completed like that then see a civil surgeon for the I-693 immunization section. There can 't be any part not done, so dont be thinking, "well I have almost all that on mine." If it is totally complete on your Knightsbridge form, send a photocopy of your DS-3025 with yourAOS package and skip the civil surgeon.
