I-693 - Report of Medical examination and vaccination report

[KayDeeCee 4,891]

Hi Jay-Kay, when I did my medical exam overseas for K1, I was given a choice to get vaccinated or wait till I get to the US. I take it that my DS-3025 will definitely not have the vaccination records mentioned. So a trip to the Civil Surgeon is in order to fill out I-693 then?

I was given my chest x-ray to keep, but if this is just for vaccination, there is no need to bring that to the CS then? Also, is there any time frame between I-693 and the AOS application? Between the wedding, the registered copy of the marriage certificate and the AOS application, it's another item to add to the list, but I want to make sure all the ducks are lined up. Thank you for your advice.

Yes, if you chose to get them in the US, then you need to see a civil surgeon for the missing vaccinations and an I-693. No need to take the x-ray CD to the civil surgeon. That is yours to keep. Take any vaccination records you have though.

You can go to the civil surgeon at anytime before you file for AOS. Well, within a year before.

Is anything blank? What about the flu shot and varicella? What are those marked?

You should have been given a copy of the DS-3025 vaccination worksheet. They give you a copy of your chest x-ray on a CD. That is yours to keep and not needed for AOS.

Hi Jay- there's no note or even check marked on my rotavirus row, do i need to see a cvil surgeon?

well, I know you have heard it all before, but let me run this by you guys, and tell me what you all think.

for some strange reason, she has incomplete, and the box 'applicant will request an individual waiver based on religious or moral conditions" We sent this exact 3025 in, and did not get an RFE< because, she was pregnant when we filed this (has since miscarried, which comes into play later)

Few things. When we first went to the CS to get this transcribed, we thought she was pregnant AGAIN. We were due to see the OB/GYn that week, and she is missing the Rubella Vaccination (although as I understood, we need only 2 of the 3 MMRs, 2 of which she does have, and proof of immunity via blood test for the 3rd also, and the Russian transcription). Just so everyone knows, you do not get MMRs when

pregnant, as it can cause birth defects.

So, we find out she is not pregnant (or possibly miscarried again) and in comes the interview date fast. It is in less than a month, and we cant get into the CS in time for it now

NO RFE was sent to us, and we have proof of pregnancy and letter from doctor confirming miscarriage,as well as blood test results showing immunity to all MMRs

Now we are really confused what to do. We know we have an incomplete, but would have got a waiver. Now, we can not get to a CS in time for interview date.

You only need ONE (1) shot of a series for your AOS. If your wife has at least 1 shot of MMR, then you are fine.

[KayDeeCee 4,891]

You need one in a series of shots for AOS, but at least one dose had to be marked off on the DS-3025 at the time of the K-1 medical. Since you received no RFE, I would attempt the interview with what you have. If the IO says you need to see the civil surgeon for any missing vaccinations, then you can worry about finding one to get the vaccinations done and transcribed onto an I-693.

Hi all,

My fiancé and I are in the process of gathering his AOS documents, and we're a bit confused re: vaccination records. He had his medical exam for the visa interview back in mid-April but didn't receive any results/records (except those turned into the Embassy in a sealed envelope).

This makes me think that the vaccination record is in the sealed envelope that he will present at POE when he arrives in the US in a few weeks. Is this correct? If so, will he be able to keep this copy after the immigration officer has looked through the packet, in order to submit it with the rest of the AOS packet?

Thanks in advance for the clarification!!

[KayDeeCee 4,891]

You can ask if they will let you have a copy of the vaccination record for AOS, but they do not have to give you one.

If you are sure he had all the required vaccinations at the time of the K-1 medical, then you can put a note on your cover letter that says he had all required vaccinations and the documents can be found in the files he turned in at his POE. They should be in his case file that the USCIS has. Worry about finding a civil surgeon if you get an RFE and need to see one.

Hi KayDeeCee,

Thanks so much for your reply!

He arrives on Sunday, so I'll make sure he asks the immigration officer at POE. If that doesn't work, we'll look into finding a civil surgeon, as you suggested. Link's a good resource, as well - thanks!

Hi all,

Sorry to resurrect an old post (but then it saves clogging up of duplicate threads I guess...)

On Saturday I received an RFE of my form I-693 and I am looking for some help and advice.

Now it says on the form:

'An initial review of evidence submitted...determined that form I-693 Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, has not been submitted or has been submitted and is not sufficient for the following reason(s):

A completed and signed i-693 was not submitted, or all pages of Form I-693 are not present or of the same revision date.'

Can anyone explain what exactly this could be?

I had my medical in the UK on Monday 7th April, when I applied for my K-1 visa. Through my understanding, this means I was not required to submit the i-693 form, is that correct?

Could they have lost my DS-3025 vaccination record form? Or was this form filled in incorrectly by the London medical practice?

We submitted our application through a lawyer (and if you have read my other outpourings of grief on this subject you will be aware of my feelings of his incompetence) so could the lawyer have forgotten to submit the ds-3025 and this has got us this notice? I have asked him for a copy of our packet several times, to no avail as yet.

I should also point out (which may or may not be normal) that this is not a RFE, it states that I will be required to submit a valid completed and signed form I-693 at a later date. If you receive an interview notice in the mail, you will need to bring it with, if you are not required to attend an interview, you will be issued a RFE.

Any help that can be given is greatly appreciated as I am somewhat lost.

Thanks,

Martin

Hello i just would like to ask,, I received the letter from USCIS stating that my interview will be next month, one of the requirement written in that letter is to bring a completed medical exam (I-639) & vaccination in a seled envelop {unless already submitted}. I'm just kinda confused because when i submitted my application i didn't submit Form I-639, i only submitted d copy of my medical in St lukes (Philippines), i didn't went to CS, my question for my interview do i need to go to a CS for the I-639? (my Medical Vaccination Record Form 3025 is not yet expired, its only been 6 months) Thanx for the answers. God bless

HI everyone

This thread is really helpful. Thanks a lot.

I have two questions. My fiance's vaccination document was completed as per the original posting's specifications, so I assume he doesn't need to see a civil surgeon. But...

1. The document says "page 1 of 2" and there is no page 2. Is that a problem?

2. Before I saw this thread, I called a civil surgeon. I asked her what was involed in the exam and she metioned a syphilis exam and a flu exam. I now see that the flu exam is not necessary since my fiance's medical exam was in the summer, so that leads me to believe that either she wasn't very knowledgeable or wanted to make some money. Does my fiance need to see a civil surgeon?

Thanks a lot.

Please, help!

I am applying for GC and now the main question is that I have completed Vaccination form( in the end of this document I found that all US required vaccination is completed).

But the last flu shot was made in autumn 2013 and as I caught till march 31 it is flu season. So what should I do? Can I sent this form to USCIS without visiting local doctor? Or if I pay and send all documents and this form is not enough for them, should I pay once again the same sum of money or they send me some kind of notification about this> Please, help me with it!

p.S. I called local doctor, explained that I passed my medical November 2014 and everything is perfect and he said that he will do me a flu shot, TDB check as well (and x-ray if they so not like results) and take blood! I passed everything but they even do not want to listen me..((
