Is my DS-3025 'complete' or not?

[lucy884 3]

Hi everyone I hope someone can help me out here. I'm aware that if the DS-3025 is complete, that you do not need to submit form I-693 if filed within a year. However, I have a blood condition that means that it is dangerous for me to have the MMR vaccination. When I went for my medical in London, I took a letter written by my doctor in the UK as to why I shouldn't have the vaccination and the Knightsbridge doctors accepted it, made a copy of it and said I didn't have to have it. However on my DS-3025 it's ticked as 'medical history incomplete -> eligible for blanket waiver'. Because of this, is my DS-3025 'complete' or do I need to get the I-693 form filled out by a civil surgeon here, again having to take my letter and explanation? Even though the civil surgeon here will have to tick the same box as I can't have the vaccination..!

Any advice is much appreciated!

My DS-3025 also states "Vaccine History Incomplete" and "Applicant may be eligible for blanket waiver(s) because vaccination(s) not medically appropriate (as Indcated Above)" This was because I only got one MMR shot (two are required) and theMMR is not marked as a completed series.

I did not get a second shot, I just sent in the DS-3025 with my AOS and got approved, didn't get any RFE or questions about this.

That's interesting!! I won't be able to send my forms off just yet so I'll see if anyone else has any more advice, but your experience has eased my mind Thanks!

If you read the Technical Instructions for Panel Physicians, the part about filling out the results section says what is ticked on yours is what almost every one will have. So Incomplete-blanket waiver is what they all should say. Complete would mean EVERY shot on the list was given.

There are reasons why a certain shot may be waived. Look at the last five columns of the DS-3025. Examples--

Not age appropriate (you don't get baby shots)

Insufficient time interval (Some with multiple doses require spacing out. You don't have to wait)

Medically contraindicated (pregnant, allergic reactions)

Not readily available (Doesn't really work for a K1 because you could get it in the US before AOS)

Not flu season

You should have "Contraindicated" ticked on your MMR line. If they didn't tick that, then your sheet is not properly filled out and you could get an RFE over it. You basically need a shot marked or a reason for waiver ticked.

Thanks Nich-Nick yet again I didn't read the instructions for the physicians but you're right, my form has contraindicated ticked for MMR. Such a relief to know I don't have to deal with a civil surgeon now. Thank you.

My case is different that on the form was check the box "US Vaccination requirements COMPLETE" even though I have not has my TD or Tdap shot yet. Do I really have to take that shot and to be transcribed by Civil Surgeon? 

 

Thanks in advance

Your signature says that you received your greencard in 2014, so what do you need the medical for?
