Vaccines and Medical For K1 Visa

[AndrewF 69]

If you do get the vaccine in Ho Chi Minh City  (we did), make sure your fiancee gets a copy of the vaccine record and keeps it.  When we applied for our adjustment of status, for whatever reason the medical exam got sent to the USCIS but it did not include the vaccine record.  Fortunately we brought a copy to the interview with us.  I personally would just get it done when you get the medical exam done in Vietnam.  Up to you whether saving $40 or $50 is worth the hassle of doing it in the US  for the AOS later.

So you paid $100 for shots?

 

 I have a fiance and step-son.  So I get to do everything twice.  I'll pocket $200, or you can send me $200, since its not a big deal.

 

Vaccinations are not public charge.  Whomever posted that is just not properly informed.  Please show me where vaccinations are part of the rule. 

 

"This rule redefines the term “public charge” to mean an alien who receives one or more designated public benefits for more than 12 months in the aggregate within any 36-month period (such that, for instance, receipt of two benefits in one month counts as two months)"

 

Sad/funny part is that all of this information is out there, for free.  Yet people would rather make stuff up.

Mmmmmm.... no I think I clearly implied that I paid $40 or $50 for the vaccinations.  

 

No one is arguing whether or not you can get them for free.  What I'm not sure is why you are so upset that others attach a different value to money.  I make a sufficient income that I prefer to pay $50 for the convenience of just everything done at once in Ho Chi Minh rather then messing with it getting it done for free here in the US.  If the value of that amount of money is so important to you that you rather make a different decision regarding vaccinations that is great for you.  My personal decision is I rather pay more for convenience because I can afford to, and because I want to.  If you don't want to, more power to you.

I'm really don't know the reasons behind why he so upset with whoever say YES to get vaccinations done in HCM. In fact, I'm really curious about that.
