immunizations

[pichusboy 0]

Hello Friends,

Yesterday I was finally granted my K-1 visa. Wonderful day.

I wanted to know if I will be needing any immunizations once I am in the US, during the adjustment of status process. Any vaccinations/immunizations (is there a difference?) they wouldn't have already given me during the medical before the interview.

Please let me know!

Peace

Yes, you will need to be vaccinated according to US law. If you have already had the required vaccinations, then you must show proof in order to keep from getting them again. If you have no proof of your vaccination record, you have to have the vaccinations done again. For most adults, it's only a couple of shots. For the Adjustment of Status process, there is an I-693 form that must be completed by a civil surgeon in the US. A list of civil surgeons near where you will be can be found on the USCIS website. They can do the vaccinations and complete the form for you when it is time.

I actually did a lot of research on this topic a few months back. Here is what I discovered: http://www.cdc.gov/v...lt-schedule.pdf that gives you a breakdown of the immunizations needed for adults.

I also had a question about the immunizations that are a series of 2 or 3 shots. I found this to be very helpful from USCIS Q&A section: (http://www.uscis.gov...0004718190aRCRD)

"Q. Certain vaccine series can only be completed with multiple visits to the civil surgeon. Am I required to complete the entire series before the civil surgeon can sign the Form I-693?

A. You are only required to receive a single dose of each vaccine when you visit the civil surgeon. You are encouraged to follow up with your private health care provider to complete the series. Once you have received the single dose appropriate at the time, the civil surgeon can sign and certify the Form I-693."

Hope this helps!
