You should send your 3025 to a USCIS civil doctor and have the info transcribed. You can do this through the mail. I used Dr. Arnold in Austin Texas. 30$ and maybe 1 week or so. My wife required 2 additional shots before they would sign. My understanding is most females immigrating here from the Phils need these shots as they are part of a series of shots and cannot all be given at St Lukes. The USCIS doctor will tell you what shots you need and you can go to your doctor or to your county health dept. to get the shots. Send the immunization receipt to the USCIS doctor who should transcribe onto the I-693 (Dr. Arnold does this). Yes unfortunately shots are high, ours was 248$ for just 2 shots! (groan)

You do not need a complete medical if you had your embassy medical (St Lukes) less than 1 year ago. Just need the immunization supplement.

Hope I helped

hello! i did the same thing with my aos, sent only the ds3025. the civil surgeon we initially contacted in seattle said that i just have to go to the pharmacy and have the lacking vaccine administered. went to walgreens and had tdap shot which caused me around 65usd. eventually when i got my letter for interview, my husband and i decided i better have the ds3025 certified by a civil surgeon. surprisingly, the civil surgeon said i still lack another vaccine, which is the mmr. so the shot was another 95usd on top of the 70usd professional fee. makes you wonder what shots have been administered in st. luke's during our medical exam. i had 2 shots there. anyways, the doc certified that i have completed my vaccine and he put the document in a sealed envelope for uscis use only.

I wouldn't recommend using Dr. Arnold any more. There is a recent thread where someone was denied on the grounds of having used Dr. Arnold and there are memos going around regional offices saying that he is not acting correctly where this is concerned. Do a forum search for more info, and make your own decision as to whether you want to risk it in the hope of it getting through, or end up having to either pay to appeal a denial or refile....

Some people sent the DS-3025 alone but if you want to make it sure, have it transcribe by a civil surgeon to form I-693.
