AOS - Need help with DS-3025

[Cowburn 0]

Hello,

Myself and my wife are getting married very soon and are currently preparing all of our forms etc. for the AOS filing so we can send it off as soon as possible. I flew to America on my K1 visa at the end of February. When I had my medical in London December 2014 at Knightsbridge I was told I was missing an MMR jab as well as the flu vaccine. The nurse who looked at my list said just make sure I have them both before we file the AOS and we will be fine.

When I went to my GP shortly after the medical, still in England, he gave me my flu vaccine and said I had actually received both of my MMR jabs. I was born in 1991 and my first MMR jab was in 1992 and then I had an MMR booster in 1997. It clearly shows both of these on the vaccine records that I had taken to Knightsbridge so I'm not sure why the nurse missed it and said I was missing the second injection. On my DS-3025 she even wrote the date of the first MMR vaccine.

I was under the assumption that I could just include my vaccine printout from the doctor and attach a short letter explaining that I did in fact have the MMR jabs when I was younger but now I'm seeing things about having to see a civil surgeon?

I would like to know exactly what I need to do, and if I do need to see a civil surgeon what should I be asking for?

Thank you

Yes unfortunately you I'll need to see a civil surgeon and get them all transcribed into an I-693 (I think that's the correct name, anyone correct me if I'm wrong!)

A lot of CS will try and tell you that you need to pay for a full medical exam.

You don't.

Ring around and ask different ones.

You need to see a civil surgeon to have all your vaccinations transcribed onto an I-693. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/428381-i-693-report-of-medical-examination-and-vaccination-report/?p=6206232

Yes, the I693 is needed. Hopefully, you can find a local CS to do just the transcription to the form, but more than likely you will need the full medical. In my wife's case it went that way, and we found it easier and less time consuming to just give in and get the AOS filed. We had to go to the county health department to get a few more as you call them jabs, but all-in-all just a few days of running, then the AOS was in the mail. The GC was approved in a little more than five months.

Good Luck!

The USCIS will not take a note from you explaining anything. You either need them all marked with dates on the official immigration forms DS-3025 or I-693. Since your DS-3025 is not marked properly, your only choice is I-693.

Thank you all for your responses. I found a place this morning on the USCIS list of civil surgeons that was willing to see me without appointment. I ended up paying $60 for the I-693 which only took about 15 minutes and now have it in the sealed envelope. Seems like I got lucky judging by some of the posts here!
