Hey folks is there a sample form for this new I-751?
-
-
We just went through this. Had to call a few civil surgeons before findng one that was reccommended by a member here that does not charge an absurd amount of money. We had to drive two hours when the closest was just one hour but it was well worth the drive to have someone that knows what they are doing. Good luck!

This Civil Surgeon only charged us $25 to transceribe the vaccination records and fill out page 1 of the I-693 form. Highly reccommended for anyone in the area of New Orleans, La.
We were only in his office 20 minutes!
Dr. Horace J Baltz
3439 Prytania St
New Orleans, Louisiana
Phone (504) 897-8272

Great! Glad you found a civil surgeon that knew what they were doing and did not try to gouge you for money. You should list your experience in this thread to help others in your area > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/231026-civil-surgeons-who-dont-rip-you-off/page-25
Sure will thanks so much!

Well we just got back home from Dr Baltz's office in New Orleans. No hassle no haggling. We were only in there maybe 20 minutes and were on our way with the vaccinations transcribed and page 1 of the I-693 form in a sealed envelope! He only charged $25!!!!! Highly reccommend Dr Horace Baltz
Thanks Again for the help here

Civil surgeons will tell you that you need things you do not really need. Some of them do it just to make money off of you, and some of them are just ignorant about the actual USCIS instructions and policies concerning the adjustment from special visa types like the K-1.
You were not required to get another TB or Syphilis test. Those are part of the medical exam, and someone adjusting from a K-1 is not required to get another exam, or parts of the exam again, if their K-1 medical was done within a year before filing for AOS. See all the links posted above.
You are right!
Well I called Dr. Diane L. Rose in Metairie, La and she told me she would charge us anywhere between $200-$410!!!! I explained that we did not need a medical, only needed the vaccination records transcribed. She still insisted that it would cost minimum of $200...
Read a post here that reccommended Dr Horace Baltz in New Orleans so we will see him tomorrow.
Here's the post

This isn't a very interesting topic, but thought I would post so that others searching for civil surgeon + new orleans would come across it. I went to see Dr Horace Baltz at 3439 Prytania today to transcribe my vaccination record and he was happy to do so for FREE (although I paid $30 for this season's flu shot as an aside). Initially his nurse/receptionist (it's a two-man show at Dr Baltz's office) tried to get me to strip for a whole physical, but when I explained very clearly that i just needed him to complete the vaccination sheet with my updated records (i had the 2nd MMR at my own GP in London after the visa medical), he was willing to do so despite finding it "most unorthodox".I don't think any of us really knew what we were doing to start with, but by reading the i-693 clearly and insisting that I did not need a full medical, we got there! I did not need the flu shot for the record, as I did already have one this year in the UK, but I know that the strains are different and although I may meet immigration requirements, I wouldn't actually have any extra protection against flu season, so I paid $30 cash for that, and they sealed up the forms, gave me a copy for my records, and I cycled home (not before grabbing a sandwich from Milk Bar round the corner from Dr Baltz's office!).
So, to clarify, I would recommend Dr Baltz to people in the metro New Orleans area looking for a civil surgeon for AOS- whether you need the whole medical done, or just vaccionation records transcribed. He may not have done it before, but hopefully he'll do it again after today!
P.S topic may need to be moved - wasn't sure where to put it!

There seems to be disconnect with this topic and the procedures within the governmental agency. Some say you need to visit a CS and others say you don't. Many of us have used the following and had no trouble with the RFE. As you can see by the evidence even in their own documentation it says a K1 does not need these additional steps that your RFE is asking of you. This should help your cause if you filed as a K1/K2.
You do not need the medical exam tests repeated. If your medical was done within a year of filing for AOS, that is all you need. No exam or parts/tests of it. You just need the vaccinations to be completed.
You can use the I-693 instructions, Page 5 #3 > http://www.uscis.gov.../i-693instr.pdf
The I-485 instructions, Page 4 #7 C. > http://www.uscis.gov.../i-485instr.pdf
And this Q&A from a USCIS civil surgeon seminar, Page 15, Q&A #57 > http://www.uscis.gov...QA-11-13-12.pdf
I have printed out the pages that you have provided and will bring them to the CS Monday. Thank you so much!
I will let you all know how it goes.

Did you explain it was for a K-1 and you had your medical already abroad? Let them know the USCIS has your medical documentation from your K-1 medical exam and you do not need another exam, just the vaccinations. If they still insist on the blood work, then find a different civil surgeon.
No I did not explain. Tried to call them back yesterday but they had already closed. Will call them Monday and see what they say. Thanks

We got a RFE requesting an updated vaccination record. They want page 1 of form I-693 along with vaccination record attained from a Civil Surgeon put in a sealed envelope.
I called the nearest Civil Surgeon in our area and they asked me to Fax a copy of the Vaccination worksheet(which we have) and bloodwork(which we don't have). What is the blood work that they are asking for? They won't give us an appointment until they have it....

My fiancé is at the embassy in Manila for the interview. I know she is nervous. I told her to be confident and try not to worry. God has a plan. Pray for a positive outcome.
Thanks

Best of luck!

Thanks for taking the time to post your experience in great detail. It will surely help others. My fiancé goes for her interview there tomorrow! I will get her to read your post. Thanks and congrats!

Congrats! Looks like your in the home stretch.
Got a question for you. We got our NOA2 on March 6th. I recieved the notice of approval in the mail. Will they mail an appointment letter? I did call and talk to that very angry lady and got our MNL number lol
Congrats on your first wild hog. I have taken many with my muzzle loader, compound and recurve bows.Never knifed one yet though...

Congrats and best wishes to you both!!!

Was the lady on the phone kind of bit chy? When I called the lady asked for my fiances bday, I'm horrible with dates but I know she was born on 4th of july just didn't not year so I was like hold on let me check. She gave me this kind of what the heck you don't know. Why would I know the year, who goes around saying what year they were born in? I don't know the year anyone was born in except for me... They could definitely work on their phone skills but it's the government what can you expect. When is your interview?
Yes she was!!!! Sounds like she hates her job.

Chinook and I had I-129F issues too. However, we didn't know it until the consular officer pointed it out at Chinook's Embassy interview. As a result, I had to send Chinook a new I-129F and she submitted it to the Embassy. No problems after that.
Here's my suggestion: Fill out a new I-129F, date it with today's date, sign it, send it to your fiancée, have her take it with her to her interview where she can submit it to the pre-screener.
Got a new one made out Thanks!

Congrats and best wishes to you two!

We got approved on March 6th. I called the NVC just now to get the MNL# and when she asked my fiance's birthdate I gave it to her and she said that is incorrect!!!! I repeated it and again she insisted it was incorrect. I checked my calender on my phone and it was correct. I quickly grabbed a copy of the I-129F and I mistakenly put the wrong year :/. I gave it as it was on the I-129F and she said that is correct. I got the MNL#.
My question is what do we do about the wrong birth date? Will this cause a problem? Can it be changed?
