Vaccination Supplement?

[ctjwa 0]

Hi all,

I'm putting together all the AOS paperwork, and I dont think we have the right Vaccination Supplement paper. All of the paperwork from the medical she had done in Germany was mailed directly to the Embassy. She never got anything. And then upon arrival into the US she had to give the entire package to immigration at the POE. She has some other little paper she showed the doctor that keeps track of all childhood vaccinations, but it's in German, and I really doubt it would be worth anything here.

Was the doctor at the medical exam supposed to give her a vaccination form? Can we call that doctor or an embassy to get a copy of whatever we need? Should she just go to a civil surgeon here? The problem with going to the civil surgeon is they'd probably make her get all the shots again with no record, right?

What do we do??

At ym medical, i was given the vaccination papers. I kept them, was not asked for them at the embassy.

I now have them in the USA.

Yeah, you get the vaccination supplement from a civil surgeon in the us. Take your vaccination information to the doctor.

the vaccination supplement... officially known as..

Appendix A. Supplemental Form To I-693

[frndly1 1]

Contact Germany and ask for the vaccination sheet they did then have everything translated and take to the Civil Surgent in your area for the I-693 to be done. NOTE: if you dont no have proof of any shots you WILL have to take them all over again which means you will be spending allot of money.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice, all. Managed to find the phone number for the doctor in Germany, so we're going to call them tommorrow morning - it's hard enough to contact doctors on their hours, let alone with a 6 hour time difference

Hopefully they can fax it, and it'll be in english! I believe it should be, since the paperwork was originally going to the us embassy anyway...

Same thing happened to my fiance...we contacted the doctor in Morocco...had fiance's brother pick up the document and send it back to us...you should not have any problems getting it...(Document is in English - it is a DS form provided to the doctor)

?you should not have any problems getting it...(Document is in English - it is a DS form provided to the doctor)

It's form DS-3025, the vaccination worksheet (not to be confused with the vaccination supplement, I-693a, which you need for filing AOS).

Unfortunately, the doctors in Germany are extremely unhelpful when it comes to obtaining a copy of this form (even though it clearly states on the bottom "give copy to applicant" ). I have heard from several people in Hamburg and Frankfurt who were refused when they asked for a copy. Myself, I was refused by the receptionist but spoke to the doctor AT THE DAY OF THE MEDICAL and received a copy.

Personally, I do not think that you will be able to obtain a copy this late, they probably sent everything to the consulate.

Doesn't your wife have a vaccination passport from Germany? Usually everybody in Germany has one (it's a yellow booklet.....might be different, though, if your wife is from the former "DDR", Eastern Germany). This vaccination passport ("Impfpass") is in several languages, so it would be sufficient for taking it to a USCIS doctor here in the US to have the vaccination supplement filled out.

If she can't find her vaccination passport (or doesn't have one), but remembers having had alle the required vacinations, I'd recommend getting a titer test to prove that she has had them. With the results of the titer test you should be able to have the vaccination supplement filled out as well.

Good luck,

I had her call the doctor in Hamburg, and they faxed over the DS-3025 right away. I was pretty happy with that! I didn't bother to pay the $50 "paperwork fee" the civil surgeon was going to charge to copy it over onto the I-193A. I just mailed the DS-3025 in, so hopefully that will be good enough. It's literally the EXACT same form, only landscape instaid of portrait.

Not too worried about an RFE, we're together now and got the AOS forms in to Chicago. If it takes a while longer to finish the rest so be it.

If all else fails, find a civil surgeon in your area and get all the vaccinations again. My husband didn't bring any vaccination information with him, and they just stuck him again. It's quicker than waiting for all of the paperwork to be translated and shuffled around the world.

I don't know how much help I am but my husband just simply called the Frankfurt doctor and asked them to fax the DS3025 form to him and they did it the same day no questions asked!! I hope your doctor can do the same!

I sent in with the AOS package the DS-3025.

Good luck,
