Yesterday we had the pleasure to visit Dr Allison Kliber in Pittsburgh, PA. We were pleasantly surprised by the fast response to our needs for vaccination transcription, (for AOS from K-1), form I-693 II Part. Luckily, we weren't ripped off for a full medical exam, just got three missing shots and the transcription cost us 50$. Very nice and professional.

Awesome, thanks! I live in Dallas but I'm willing to drive to Ft. Worth to avoid having my husband go through all the blood work, chest x-ray (he always has pos skin tests) etc AGAIN when he just had it done! Called them just now to confirm & they said he will do it for a small fee smile.gif Great!

We called around alot and still most of the Civil Surgeons give you a hassle about just doing the Vaccination portion of I-693. Since we were doing the K-1 Adjustment of Status the forms clearly state that if the K-1 exam was done in the past 12 months the exam does not have to be repeated.

We took the I-693 Form pages 1 and 5 and the person at front desk said no problem. We gave her the vaccination records we had. (We went to our Primary Care Physician (PCP) and got blood tests done and most shots were not necessary. PCP gave TDAP shot and got the flu shot at drug store for zero dollars with insurance.

Cost was $65.00

Took about 15 mins.

Highly recommend.

BTW. The way this forum does this is crazy. I dont know how anyone will find this information. But I'm posting it.... LOL
