ok so my fiancee tested non-active for TB. Which just means vaccine expired (mine did also). They told her she needs to get revaccinated in the US. is this for the AOS?

I don't understand this statement... Can you elaborate? It is my experience that immunization is most definitly a requirment. What did I not understand?

Vaccination Requirements

United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the vaccination requirements. See IV Vaccination Requirements for the list of required vaccinations and additional information.

As a fiancé(e), you are not required to fulfill this requirement at the time of your medical examination for a fiancé(e) visa. However, you may want to do so. These vaccinations are required when you adjust status following your marriage.

I find it odd that they would tell her she needs to get revaccinated in the US as the Tb vaccine is not commonly given in the US. I wouldn't worry about it. Most people immigrating from Russia need to get MMR as that is not usually given in Russia.

Oh right, now I remember. But do it anyway. Embassy staff are not always up to speed, and you need it later.

Non-active doesn't mean the vaccine expired. Anyway, TB is NOT a required vaccination.
