Copy of vac suppliment

[Cristy 4]

The Dr. I went to for our immigration medical is refusing to send me copies of the vaccination supplement. She says they have never done it before and will need USCIS to call her *yeah right*.

Does this mean I have to go get another medical done?

First off Hello there Cristy and hope your move and wedding went smooth ...

Do you have the form that they gave you at your medical that said for use in canada only ?? Or do you have the info that you brought to the immigration doctor for the different shots you had ??

All you need is the doctor here to fill out the suppliment indicating proof of vaccinations ... You may want to call around your area to see if any of the immigration doctors know what your talking about in regards to the suppliment form ... The place I called I had to talk to a few people until I found someone who knew what I was talking about ... You can find approved physicians for your area from the USCIS web site ( http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/exec/cs/index.asp ) ... The price should be alot cheaper than a full medical ... Mine was only $10 but I have heard people having to pay as high as $100 or more ...

Good luck ...

sorry to hear that... (jerks )... hopefully you have other records (vaccination cards/records? blood work?) that you can use to verify your information.

otherwise, you may have to do blood titers to check for immunity. if you have health insurance they may cover it.

um, its a long shot, but maybe you can talk to someone at your Consulate and ask them to fax/call/email that doctor to request a copy for you.

hope it all works out for you!

Has the doctor's office refused to give you the DS-3025, the vaccination record? That is what you need in order to get the vaccination supplement I-693A completed HERE.

Foreign doctors can not complete the I-693A, only a U.S. civil surgeon can.

They would not give me anything at the time of the visit. She told me to call if I needed something.

Now she says they sent it all and don't ever send anything else.

I have our vac records, and the kids just had more at the ped here. So I guess I just have to find a doctor from that list.

It makes me mad because I paid a lot for 4 medicals and I asked right up front for the forms.

As long as you have vaccination records, I don't think you'll have any trouble getting a civil surgeon to copy them to the vac supp.

And since people have gotten RFE's for only sending in the "free" DS-3025, you're safer getting the I-693A completed anyway.

Good luck!

Even if they gave you the records back in Canada it would have only been the DS-3025 so you would have still had to go to a doctor in the US to get the info transfered from the DS-3025 to the vaccination supplement I-693A ...

I would contact a doctor from the list and explain that you have the proof of vaccination and all you need is the I-693A supplement filled out ... Explain that you came on a K-1 Visa and your original medical from Canada is good for a year ... You may want to have the I-485 instructions infront of you so you can read it to them exactly what it says ... Like I said in an early post the place I called were not very friendly and I eventually got to talk to one of the nurses that actually knew what I was talking about ...

Maybe. Maybe not. Many people have not had to do this, my wife among them.
