Medical Check Blanket Waiver Q

[M & N 0]

I'll be leaving Japan for the U.S. on K-1 visa in 3 weeks.

And about a month ago, I got a letter from the hospital that I had my medical check at

and it says that I need to have Human papillomavirus vaccine.

I have to have 3 times, the first injection is followed by a second and third dose two and six months later.

I have contacted a few hospitals here and they all said the vaccine isn't avaliable in Japan yet.

Since I cannot have the vaccine done here, I have to have it finished when I get to the U.S.

The problem is that it takes 6 months to complete all 3 shots

but I have to apply for AOS before my K-1 expires and I have to have all the vaccine completed when I do so.

I'm just wondering if I could have a waiver.

If so, how can I get a waiver?

Thank you.

K-1 expiration date means that you can enter US only once in 6 months after its issuance. K-1 expiration date does not relate AOS dead line. As long as you get married in 3 months after entering US, you can file AOS whenever you're ready. Actually, there's no specific dead line for AOS. USCIS just say "as soon as possible."

I don't know which part of Japan you live in, but Tokyo medical & surgical clinic has imported HPV vaccination. If you want to file AOS sooner, it would be worth to try Though it's expensive in Japan....

What K & W told you is correct and you can get the series of vaccines here in the US much easier and cheaper then in Japan. There are many clinics here where you can the it done. Good luck!

Thank you very much for the reply.

Does it mean we can wait for AOS until I finish all the vaccines done

which will be next year?

On this site, it says you should file as soon as possible before K-1 expires

or you'll be considered out-of-status until you file so we don't wanna risk anything.

I need to submit the vaccination supplement when we file. Is that right?

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding??

Thank you.

->No, it's not correct. This site doesn't mention you should file before K-1 expiration (practically, K-1 expires when you enter US). Please read what I and u2rsobad wrote.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding?? ->I suppose...

Thank you.
