Vaccines

[mandebm 0]

Hi Everyone,

My then-fiance (now husband) had his vaccines done in Spain before he entered the U.S. on a K1 Visa. However, he didn't have a Civil Surgeon complete Form I-693 when he got vaccinated. Can he just submit his vaccine records with Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status)?

Thank you

As long as his DS-3025 is marked completed or ticked "eligible for waiver", he should be just fine.The I-693 can only be done in the US not in the beneficiary's home country.

What if he didn't get a DS 3025? He only has vaccination records.

No, it's in Spanish. He went to a Spanish doctor to get his vaccines.

You should get one in English language version. For safe way, I have no any other option but suggested you to get I-693 done by designated USCIS doctors here in the US. You don't need to redo whole medical but just to transcribe the vaccination records onto I-693 form. And just a reminder, better shop around because some of the doctors have charged their services beyond your imagination.

The original DS 3025 should be in the packet of docs he handed in at POE. From the original post it's not clear if he had the vaccinations done before or after the medical. If before they ought to be recorded on the 3025, if they were done afterwards the a 693 and civil surgeon will be needed.

What did they say at the medical, they will have discussed vaccine requirements?

That is strange that they would not give a 3025 at the medical, but I think "Girl" is right: no 3025 sounds like you need the CS to fill out the I-693. Definitely call around...the transcription can coast anywhere from $25.00 to hundreds...and make sure that they don't try to charge you for a whole new medical.

Since he did not have his vaccinations done at the time of the K-1 medical and marked off on a DS-3025, then he will need to see a civil surgeon to have them transcribed onto an I-693.
