Vaccination afetr arrival to the USA

[lougars 0]

Hello, My wife has been in the USA for 2 weeks now. I understand she did get the shots in Guanzhou, but was told to get another shot within 6 weeks.

Anyone know more about this process? as any other shots that are needed?

Thank you

Luckily not need to prep any I-693 for AOS case - YAY ! That's a relief, always.

As far as 'whats next' - who said what, and when ? I'd focus on that, really. If she has an International Shot Record (yellow book) it may be obvious 'whats next'.

Be warned, as well - that many shots are 'age specific'.

The shot she might need could be one of the series of shots for a vaccination against hepatitis? I don't know I am just letting you know of a possibility.

Yes she does have a yellow book, It just has a stamped portion but does not give direction for any next shot. I have a chinese friend i will ask here. Thank you for the input.

Maybe, thank you for the input.

vaccinations are age specific, for example my NOW wife (just got smacked for calling her fiancee...) is 31 and she was required to only get the TdT and MMR booster and gave verbal confirmation of having chicken pox. As long as the medical exam included the vaccination supplement you shouldn't require the I-693 with your I-485 application. They should have given you specifics on which follow-up vaccine is required, as they should also have given her a copy of her medical file for her personal records.

Hi folks... I'm confused about this:

". As long as the medical exam included the vaccination supplement you shouldn't require the I-693 with your I-485 application."

I'm doing an AOS -- submitting the I-485 along with an I-130. Both the VJ guide and the I-485 instructions say I need to submit an I-693 with the I-485. How would it be possible otherwise? Also, in any case how can one submit a medical exam without submitting the I-693, as that *is* the legal medical exam document I thought?

Thanks,

Simmy

Simmy- hey - different 'case types' have different 'requirements'.

AOS from K-1/K-3 is not the same as 'AOS from other visa type', at all.

The fact that you have to include an I-130 tells me yer not adjusting from a K-1 or K-3 - and for those two types -

a medical exam is already done/performed, overseas, prior to visa issuance.

For you, for now, IMO, you'll need a 'full-bore medical exam' from a civil surgeon in the USA, analogous to that 'full-bore medical exam' that a K-1/K-3 visa applicant did, overseas.

Good Luck !

Thanks Darnell -- that makes sense. I was wrongly assuming all AOS cases were the same.
