Check the sticky thread here called "Civil Surgeons who don't rip you off." The one I used was going to charge a lot until I told them about the thread, then prices got better.

Thanks Wally Greene..

I was reading this post before, it confused me. I dont know, if im going to find a civil surgeon to transfer my I-693 or just include my vaccination supplement to my AOS packet.

My vaccination record checked as "Vaccine History Incomplete" - "Applicant may be eligible for blanket waiver (s) because vaccination (s) not medically appropriate (as indicated Above)".. Almost everything is check in my vaccination record as "Not Age Appropriate" except for Influenza, check as "Not Fall (Flu) Season". MMR & Varicella as "completed" and TDAP as "Insufficient Time Interval".

Because of the incomplete check my husband and I just decided to find a civil surgeon for I-693 just to avoid RFE.. Do you think i really should do it?

Thanks Again..

Well my decision is based off of most people whom have submitted there AOS package. They don't include the I-693 form and did not go to the civil surgeon. Yes I am taking a calculate gamble and praying not to get a RFE. Trust me I am not the gambling type.

Our DS-3025 states the same as yours. We are going to gamble. You do not have to follow our lead. If you feel safer getting the I-693 done. Do that.. We believe most medicals from SLMEC state the same as ours and many submit the DS-3025 only and are approved. Again this is our decision.

I Advise follow your own judgement and instincts because it is a choose. Wish us luck and I also wish you two luck and prayers. We are all on the visa journey and hope to have a smooth ride.

God Bless

My wife probably didn't need to submit I-693 eventhough her DS-3025 said incomplete (may be eligle for blanket waiver/not age appropriate). We ended up going to a Civil Surgeon in Lynnwood just to play it safe, and paid $50 to do the transfer. If you do see a civil surgeon, be sure to bring a copy of the DS-3025, and any other recent vaccination you may have recently had so they can transcibe it.
