Preganancy and I-693

[o0pink0o 3]

I am scheduled to see the doctor on May 5th for the vaccinations that I need (HPV and TD booster) but the thing is, we just discovered yesterday that I am pregnant. Am I excuse to recieve those shots that I need? In case the doctor won't give me shots because I am pregnant, can I ask the doctor a document stating that I am pregnant which I can send to the USCIS together with the rest of AOS documents? Do I still need to transcribe my medical records eventhough my shots aren't complete?

BTW, my medical in the Philippines will expire on August.

Thanks in advance

so...you are in USA (indy) now right? then you have to go to see OB/GYN first to ask to write a letter to certify your pregnancy. civil surgeons don't do that, that's what I was told. Then civil surgeon can file the letter and also put a note on I-693 that you are excused due to pregnancy. at least, that worked for me.

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

You will still require a Civil Surgeon to complete the I-693. There are some vaccinations that required by the USCIS that are waived in the case of pregnancy, but there are other required vaccinations that being pregnant does not waive. For those vaccinations that are contraindicated when pregnant, the Civil Surgeon will simply notate this on the I-693 form under the line item for those specific vaccination requirements. For the other vaccinations that are still required, even though you are pregnant, you will need to submit proof of vaccination to the Civil Surgeon so they can document that those specific vaccination requirements have been met.

Good luck to you!

Warm Regards,

Samby

If you live in North side, I would recommend here. They use Community North, which has 60+ nice matanity suits, pretty cool

Thanks My husband and I are both happy about the baby

Would you happen to know on what are those vaccines that they will require for a preganant woman or can you give me link where I can get that information? thanks

Hi Ryoka,

I live here in a suburb in North of Indy. I just went to the Doctor's office and had Laboratory test (Urine Pregnancy Test). The result is positive and they gave me documentation of it. Do you think that that document will suffice or I still need to have ultrasound to submit in the USCIS?

thanks in advance

Hi. Have a look at these links for the current information on:

1) Vaccination requirements for Aliens Adjusting Status: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/pdf/civil_sur...nstructions.pdf

2) Guidelines for Vaccinating Pregnant Women: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/preg-guide.htm

As you will see from this info, many of the required vaccinatons are not excludable due to Pregnancy. Some are, however. For those that are contraindicated due to Pregnancy (and or Breastfeeding) (listed in Link #2, above), the Civil Surgeon will provide a waiver which will allow USCIS to move forward with processing your AOS application. For those that are not contraindicated, you are required to show evidence of vaccination and the Civil Surgeon will documnet that on the I-693 form which is to be included (sealed) in your I485 AOS Application.

Good Luck!

I'm in North too. Maybe we are close well, that's depends on which doctor you went. The civil surgeon I went to emphasized the letter has to be written by OB/GYN. So if you just went to a nornal physician, they may not accept that document as proof of your pregnancy. I don't think you need ultrasound, they are just looking for the evidence from specialist. Anywayz, congratz!!

Hey, Not sure if I can help you answer your question. But I'm from Indianapolis too, and when I had to get my medical done, I was pregnant at the time (my baby is 1,5 months old now!!), but I was up to date on all my shots, except for the TB test, so I had that done without a problem, and then saw the doctor who filled out the paperwork and stated that I was pregnant in that. But like I said, I already had all my shots taken as a child.

Congrats on pregnancy!!

Hello Tintin and Sandy,

We are in the same situation as o0pink0o. Now if we can not show evidence of vaccination for those not contraindicated, will we have to wait until birth and after breast feeding to move forward with the I-693?

Hi Eshansmommy,

First of all, Congrats on your pregnancy! I already had my TB skin test last Feb and I wasn't preggy yet that time so I have something to present to the CS about it.

Thanks for your inputs

Hmm, ok, I think I really need to see an OB/GYN then. I'll get an appointment tomorrow. Thank you so much
