Vaccination Supplement

[Ricca711 1]

Hello,

My fiance' did not receive a copy of his vaccinations during the medical exams in Ghana. But he seems to think that the card he has from Akai House is the vaccination supplement. Can anyone tell me what the supplement looks like? Of does anyone have a pic of it so that I can compare it to what my fiance' is has. It just seems like this tiny card he has is not an official document.

Thanks,

Erika

Erika,

It looks like this (See link).

My husband's form is a little different though. I hope this information helps.

As far as I know, the vaccination supplement required to file AOS is ONLY given by a civil surgeon in the USA. You have to bring the record of the vaccinations to the US Civil surgeon and he will transfer the information onto the correct form.

This link http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/pdf/ti-03/appdx-a_693vacc.pdf shows a form that is old and outdated. Also it was given to immigrants that had their medical examinations done in the USA.

What you are looking for is DS-3025. There is the link for that form http://www.ait.org.tw/en/visa/iv/docs/DS3025.pdf

Thank you for the responses and links. I am assuming that the card that details the vaccinations Samuel already had are going to be transferred to the I-693. It all makes sense now. I think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves but I just wanted to make sure I understand the process.

Thanks again to all.

It won't happen automatically, when you are ready to file for your I485, you will need to go see a US civil surgeon and have them transcribe the imunization card onto the I693a. Many will try to make you do the physical again, but stand your ground for the supplement only (If you file the I485 within one year of the international medical exam.) The civil surgeon will give you back another sealed envelope that you will include with the I-485. Good luck!

I-693a does not exist and therefore is not used by Civil Surgeons. It was replaced with a new form I-693 and immigrants that have already had their medical exams overseas fill out Part 1, Part 2-vaccination section and the civil surgeon signs the Part 5.

Just a little reminder! (We don't want to confuse people and Civil surgeons since they are already confused)
