AOS vaccination question

[polar77 0]

We are about to send off our AOS for my wifes K1. Do we really need a civil surgeon to fill out the part of the I-693 for the vaccination part even if she has a copy of her DS-3025 vaccination report from her physical done in the Philippines for her K1???

Thanks for any advice everyone

There is a bit of confusion since the I-693 was revised in May of 2008. I am not sure the definitive answer exists yet. Many have successfully adjusted utilizing only the DS-3025 prior to May. Your call.

Yeah, things are a bit confusing since the change but I've know of at least two people who had their medicals in Colombia for their K1 and K3 visas and only sent a copy of the vaccination document they received from the doctor. They recently received their green cards without an RFE.

So, if your wife doesn't need any of the following and she had her medical back home less than a year ago, she should be ok with just sending a copy of the vaccines. These are the new vaccines:

Rotavirus (children only)

Hepatitis A (not needed unless you live in a place where it's easy to get Hepatitis A)

Meningococcal (children2-18 years of age, people who have been exposed to meningitis)

Human papillomavirus (Women only, who are 26 years-old or younger)

Zoster (people who are over 60years-old)

Hi, she had her medical in manilla around may 2008. She still needs to complete the Human papillomavirus since it takes more than one shot. Will this be a problem?

You need a CS to transcribe the vaccines taken to the I-693 form. She don't need to complete the whole 3 doses of HPV vaccine. 1 of 3 doses is enough and the CS will still sign the I-693.

There's nothing confusing about the I-693 instructions on page 4, section III.

The confusion is that the USCIS may still in fact still be adjudicating based on the DS-3025
