Questions for I-693

[ANJING 0]

We are K-1 holders and we have all three required vaccinations (MMR, TD and Varicella). Our medical exam was done in China on 6/22/08. So for the new I-693, what else do we need? TB skin test, Syphilis, and HIV? Thanks.

Thanks. It seems like we only need the TB skin test.

We are K-1 holders and we have all three required vaccinations (MMR, TD and Varicella).

There are a lot more than 3 vaccinations that are required. You can find the list on the CIS website.

Yes, but it is my understanding that the new requirements are enforced for medical exams done after 7/1/08.

Yep, the new vaccination requirements are in effect for EXAMS done after 7/31/08. If you already had your medical exam before that date, you do not need to have the new vaccine requirements done for your I-693. Just follow the directions for the I-693 for K-1 visa holders and fill out only the required areas.

I think what Kid Brooklyn was trying to say is that the list of vaccinations is large: just be sure with the Civil Surgeon (CS) that you have all required vaccinations. They will let you know if you need anymore. My husband needed a second round of MMR to be in compliance, for example, before the CS would sign the paper as being in compliance with all vaccination requirements.

You will definitely need to shop around for a CS who will do the transcription from the DS-3025 to the I-693 at a cheap price. Many are trying to get K-1 visa holders who've already had their medical in their home country within the last year to do the entire medical again...
