I have done quite a bit of searching related to the K-1 Visa process, however there is one subject I can't seem to get a concrete answer to. Will my fiance be required to already have vaccinations prior to entering the US? I have read that she won't legally be required to have them until she is here, we are married, and we file for AOS. On the other hand, I don't want to get all the way to the interview and find out she needs to get 35 various vaccinations prior to moving on with the process. Thanks for any info

All vaccination are age appropriate and included in the medical exam at St. Luke’s!

So she will receive what is needed to enter the U.S.

Your fiancée is not required to have any vaccinations for her visa approval or to enter the U.S. However, she will need the vaccinations to adjust her status in the U.S. However, she should get them during her medical exam at St. Lukes because they are already covered in the price of the medical exam.

St. Lukes will give her the age-appropriate vaccinations she needs. Normally, they administer the TDap, MMR, Varicella (if they can't find any chicken pox scars), and flu (if it's flu season) vaccinations. That's all.

If she's pregnant, they won't give her any vaccinations which are contraindicated for pregnancy. If she's had sexual contact since her last period, St. Lukes will ask her to come back for her vaccinations following her next period.

Plus it is better to get them at your medical and have them marked off on your DS-3025 so you do not have to worry about finding a civil surgeon in the US to do the I-693. It can be a hassle to find one that won't insist on another unnecessary exam and overcharge you as well. Getting the few required vaccinations at the time of your medical is the best way to go.
