Vaccination report

[buster2209 2]

My wife and I are collecting our documents to send off our AOS papers from a K-1 visa

We are a little confused about the vaccination report......

Do we have to get a doctor to copy the info from my DS-3025 to a I-693A or can we send the DS-3025 as a supplement?

Must get a USCIS civil surgeon to do it.

Where do we get one of them? And the doctor who did my DS-3025 was a USCIS approved civil surgeon!!

If you had all your vaccinations in the UK just a copy of the DS-3025 will do. If you had any vaccinations since arrival in the US then you need the I-693A to be filled in by a civil surgeon

Yea, I forgot about that. In our case additional shots were administered in the U.S. so we had to go with a civil surgeon.

If you need one and want to get ripped off, choose one from the list of CSes closest to you on the USCIS list. Otherwise, do a search on this board for Dr. L E Arnold who will do it via mail-order for $30.

Buster, if you havent already, check out this thread,

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=189022

It's a UK AOS thread, has all kinds of helpful hints..

[buster2209 2]

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

I haven't had any additional shots since I was here and I don't need any.

It does seen slightly insane to pay a doctor to transfer data from one form to another........

moved from K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures to aos forum.

topic concerns aos, not k-1

Great for you!! Many Vjers, including myself, have a hard time determining if the CDC immunization requirements were met.

for my case I took a risk of sending DS 3025 rather than my I-693A. For an additional vaccines are a lot of costs. anyways, me and my husband are crossing our fingers not to receive any RFE in the future until i get my GC. well, i heard other VJers we're doing that too. just that again we we're just taking risks.

good luck

Yeah, I get that feeling too. It just seems insane to pay a doctor to copy some writing from one piece of paper to another seeing as the first piece of paper came from a USCIS approved doctor!!

You need to include I-693 in your AOS application just to make sure. Some adjudicators consider DS-3025 but some don't and issue RFE.

I had my DS-3025 transcribed by a civil surgeon for $10. At first, they want me to have the full medical exam (but I already had a medical exam 7 months ago) so before I go to the clinic I brought the I-485 Instruction and read it to them. The nurse asked the cashier to charge me $10 for the paperwork and then took my DS-3025, waited for 10 minutes then she gave me a sealed envelope with a "do not open" sticker.

I include that sealed envelope to my AOS application and thank God I have no RFE and it was transferred to California Service Center which means no interview.

...from page 4 of I-485 instruction...

Best not to take the chance of just submitting the DS 3025. Dr. Arnold will fill out the I-693 for $30.

Why take a chance of having to do it later?

OP, please note that you if you decide not to send the DS3025 and get a civil surgeon to fill out a vaccine supplement, it is no longer the I693A. The I693A is no longer valid as of June 2008. You will need to use the vaccine portions of I693.
