AOS RFE Medical Vaccination

[babybabeto14 10]

 

Hi Everyone,

 

My husband is current waiting for his AOS. We recently got an RFE for the medical vaccine part only to be completed. Before his interview in his country, he had everything done except the Vaccine part. I'm not sure why they didn't do that for him.  Anyway we are missing that part. My question is, which vaccinations are required. I can't image he needs all of them that's on the list, but then again I could be wrong. 

He is 30 years old. He didn't bring any records with him either.  I called around and some doctors offices told me he needs all of them, some say he needs just 3 (MMR, Tetnus, and influenza).

 

Anyone had a similar situation or can advise?! Thanks in advance!

Here is the information you need. You can also have him take a blood titer to establish which of the vaccines he needs.

The hardest part will be finding a civil surgeon to just do the vaccines. I had a box not ticked on mine so despite having them all I had to get the records transcribed. Took 25+ calls to finally find a CS who didnt insist I had to have the medical despite having USCIS paperwork requesting just part 7 filled out. Good luck!!

Will it be okay if you were ask the civil surgeon to just give you the vaccines without doing all the medical exam? Or the USCIS will ask a completed medical from the civil surgeon? Just asking, I have a feeling I'm going to goer RFE.

If they only asked for vaccines then that's all you need to do. Some civil surgeons will telly ou you must have a new medical but check what the RFE says. Mine specifically states Parts 1,2,4 & 7 which is just vaccinations. Took a while to find one who'd do it without charging for a new medical as well.

His RFE is requesting the same. I just called around and asked. A lot of offices won't give out that info, I called a lot of places, but finally my luck I had 2 give me the same info.  My understanding is that he needs 3 vaccinations.

MMR, Tetanus, and Influenza. The one also for chickenpox's, is required, but if they had that as a child, it's fine they don't need it.

Sounds about right. Be aware tho you can often get the shots cheaper at your primary care physician or walmart or health dept etc. The immigration doctors tend to charge a lot for them. As long as you get records of whats been given you can get the shots anywhere.
