Immunization after Interview Envelope

[Carpe Vinum 2,310]

R. got her last immunization today. Of course this was after the interview. Do we give this to Immigration at POE? I imagine it is her updated immunization record and we will need it for AOS.

She brings it to the us and present at immigration and they will probably hand it back to her once they open up her package.

 

You now will need to see a CS to have it transposed along with the DS-3025 to the I693 for submission with your AOS after marriage.

Once you see the 3025 go down the left side and see if it shows vaccinations as  "complete". If yes then no CS.

I had to deal with a CS back in 2010. Talk about dropping a wad of cash for nothing.....

 

Thanks, GB....

Not correct anymore.    The requirement now from USCIS is that the DS-3025 must be taken to a Civil Surgeon to be transcribed to the I-693.  This changed a year or so ago

You will still be dealing with a CS .. it is now required to take the DS-3025 to the CS to be transcribed to the I-693.

 

Cost should be under $100, but you have to watchout for the CS that tries to scam you saying a full physical is required - which isn't true, the medical from SLEC is valid for 1 year in this situation.

Ok to shop around for a CS?  Because if it's just a transcription job, the cheapest should be fine?  Not like the medical in Manila where SLEC is the only choice.

Correct .. just go through the list on the USCIS website for your area.      

 

There are some CS that push hard for a complete physical .. so you may have "too much fun"

When did that change? Do you have a reference? . This one I never heard that it changed. So if the physical was completed in their home country with all shots taken to complete the requirement they still need to see a CS? Thanks

It needs to be transcribed onto the i693.  I had to get this done 12 years ago

If you were came into the US with a properly completed DS-3025 there was not a need to go and have a CS basically tell USCIS that "yes, they completed their vaccinations" no pay me sucker.

B. Documentation Completed by Panel Physician

 

Since a State Department consular officer reviews the medical documentation completed by a panel physician as part of the overseas visa process, a USCIS officer may assume that the medical documentation is properly completed. ^[2] The Technical Instructions for Panel Physicians may differ from the Technical Instructions for Civil Surgeons. As long as the DS form is properly completed, the officer should accept the finding of the consular officer as correct.

 

If the USCIS officer notices a significant irregularity such as an omission of a particular section, the officer may issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) to have a civil surgeon in the United States complete the missing part(s) of the medical examination. A civil surgeon should address any deficiency by completing the respective parts of a Form I-693 according to the Technical Instructions for Civil Surgeons issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). ^[3] In this case, because the DS form was completed by a panel physician, the officer should retain the original document. The RFE must specify which sections of Form I-693 have to be completed by a civil surgeon. This should only happen in rare instances.

 

Applicants who have already been examined abroad and are not required to repeat the medical examination in the United States may still have to show proof of the vaccination requirement. ^[4] See Chapter 3, Applicability of Medical Examination and Vaccination Requirement [8 USCIS-PM B.3] for specific information on who is required to be examined and to what extent.

Has to be over a year ago that I picked up on the change.     Before the I-693 was not required, one could submit a copy of the DS-3025, but some Adjudicators at USCIS didn't know the rules and issued an RFE for the I-693 and the  CS scammed people to get the $$$ for a medical.   ( < I have an email exchange with USCIS regarding this back when the DS-3025 was all that was required, they confirmed only the DS-3025 was required THEN)

 

NOW the I-693 is required, even if all that was done was transcribe the DS-3025.

 

paqe 12, section 10

 

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-485instr.pdf

 

10. Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (Form I-693) Form I-485 applicants for adjustment of status are required to have a medical examination to show that they are free from health conditions that would make them inadmissible. This does not apply to registry applicants and individuals born under diplomatic immunity in the United States. If you are filing Form I-485 under the nonimmigrant fiancé(e), asylee, or refugee category, see the Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, Instructions for more information on whether you need to submit the full Form I-693 or only certain parts because you already had a medical examination overseas. Only a USCIS designated civil surgeon can perform this medical examination in the United States. The civil surgeon must document the results of your medical examination on Form I-693. For more information on the medical examination, see the Form I-693 Instructions.

But this is "Fresh of the USICS" page that it is not needed. I do remember all the people that you and I were able to help avoid that scam but according to the information I posted a follow-up with a CS to transpose to the I-693 is not needed if all Vac were administered over seas and were noted complete on the DS3025.

Got a current link where it states only the DS-3025 is needed?    Because what is stated in the CURRENT instructions for the I-485 the I-693 is required.

 

Here is the info from the I-693 instructions, page 6

 

What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already had a medical examination overseas?

 

If you were admitted as a: A. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or B. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and C. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then: (1) You are not required to have another medical examination as long as you file your Form I-485 within one year of an overseas medical examination; and (a) The panel physician did not find a class A medical condition during your overseas examination; or (b) The panel physician did find a class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility, and you have complied with the terms and conditions of the waiver. (2) Even if a new medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original overseas medical examination report, you will have to have the Part 9. Vaccination Record completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you must submit Parts 1., 2., 3., 4., 6., and 9. of Form I-693.
