Vaccinations

[Sanai 0]

I was reading on the USCIS site about vaccinations and came across this:

": Does USCIS require that all shots in each vaccine series be completed before applying for adjustment of status?

No. The applicant must have received all the required age-appropriate vaccines that could be given at the time of the medical exam. If the applicant has started the vaccination series, but is not able to complete all the required shots because, at the time of the medical exam, the minimum time interval between shots has not passed, the applicant may still apply for adjustment of status. A waiver is available in cases where, due to required time intervals, it was impossible for the applicant to receive all shots in the series before submitting the application for adjustment of status.

For example, the Hepatitis A vaccine requires that applicant receive two doses of vaccine, six months apart. If the applicant receives the first dose in January, he or she does not have to wait until July, when the second dose would be given, to submit the adjustment of status application. However, the applicant must have received at least the first dose of the vaccine, if appropriate, before applying for adjustment of status."

So my question is, will I be able to apply for AOS if I don't have all of these vaccinations started? Its going to take time to get copies of what vaccinations I have had from home, and then also to have time and enough money to get the medical exam and vaccinations. What happens if you apply for AOS with out the medical or vaccinations done or started?

I am worried about my VWP expiring early December and having enough time to file AOS before the I94 expires. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you

I believe Hydey, who was in the same situation vis-a-vis the VWP expiring, filed without including the I-693 and is expecting to get an RFE for it. When you get an RFE, IIRC you have a bit over 2 months to get the information requested and return it to USCIS.
