Medical Exam and Vaccinations for K-1

[Mike B. 231]

Can someone tell me which vaccinations are needed to get a K-1, and what exactly is done at the medical exam? A lawyer told me that if my fiancee doesn't have have the 17 vaccinations listed before the medical exam, the doctor (is it a civil surgeon?) will administer the vaccinations that are needed. If booster shots are needed, then my fiancee will be forced to postpone the interview, since you cannot gget a K-1 visa before you get the vaccinations.

However, I've seen that a lot of people here have mentioned that you only need the vaccinations for the AOS, not the K-1 visa. Does that mean she could come in here without any of the vaccines, get them all in the three-month period we have here, and then file for the AOJ?

Also, how can we find the doctors who are authorized to preform medical examinations? The civil surgeon finder on USCIS's webpage only covers the US.

Are you talking about AOS or the embassy interview. Which country?
