STARTING WITH MY AOS PROCESS NEED SOME GUIDE

[VanessaTony 3,567]

Please note the list is MY Packet. this is what I SENT. This is WHAT I HAVE DONE. I also used form I-864EZ which I did allude to on the post, but made note it is at your own risk since there is differing views on VJ. I also suggest to read the guides and follow them as well as USCIS instructions. I am not saying what I did was right or wrong. ONLY what I HAVE done. Actually you did. You started the sentences with: "make sure to" and made it like a contents list. For the drivers licence you wrote "if have". if this was your list and what you sent no such notation would have existed. You are correct that for the I-864EZ you did specify a caveat however this was the only entry where you did so.

Soorry, you are completely wrong on the I-765. I suggest the same of you Please read the instructions:

page 6: required documentation: 2A It says if filing under C9 it's not required and 2B Does not mention I-94 then Page 4, 6A Does not mention I-94 and 6B That's for K3 and K4, NOT K1/K2 which states to INCLUDE the form I-94 Again, not for K1. There is a contradiction here There is no contradiction, you haven't read the instructions correctly, and suggest to INCLUDE forms when there is a contradiction in the instructions. Plus you are already including this form in your packet anyway with the main form, what is another copy going to hurt? It's not. But you're writing it like a contents list and writing such a list makes people who have sent their paperwork without these documents panic for no reason.

2B also states to include a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT issued identity document. US VISA is a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Identity document. Can't think of a better one to use, It got her through Us CUSTOMS, airports, and security gates.I can... it's called a passport bio page and you already have it on your list

Form I-131 does not have to be a multiple entry visa. BUT READ THE GUIDES. it makes sense to Apply for a multiple re-entry rather then having to apply over and over again. <snip> This post has nothing to do with anything I wrote... that I can tell. So I'm not sure of the point of your post. There is no doubt applying for a multiple entry AP is fine.

See I-693 instructions: <snip>First paragraph has nothing to do with anything I wrote..

MOST insurance companies DO Pay or apply to medical deductible. However, YOU must code it right. I disagree but by all means try, nothing is hurt by trying

The fees are vaied. However, I am using "consumer" math. <snip> WAY too long winded post and confusing the matter. AOS is $1070. EAD and AP fees are waived if filed together. that's all that matters.

By doing what I did, I made sure it was there the next day with delivery confirmation. if you read the posts on here, nearly everyone says to send with UPS or Fedex. I know with UPS and Fedex I can track the package as it travels to the destination and know WHEN it was signed for. Just Delivery confirmation on something so vital is just plain backwater when you can track your package in real time now and know EXACTLY when it was signed for and by WHOM it was signed for. Yeah... USPS tracking does that and signature confirmation has caused a lot of issues. Some people get signatures saying "L.Box" short for "lockbox". There's nothing "backwater" about it. Delivery confirmation is all that matters. Even with signature confirmation it doesn't tell you who signed for it for sure (as previously stated). On a personal note my wedding pics were apparently signed for by ME (that's the name on it) but I did not take delivery.

Further responses in red above. Please note I am only rebutting your points so no-one takes your word as gospel when it is so flawed. PLEASE return to topic.

Is there a list with the vaccines needed?

if you look at your DS-3025 and find vaccines noted, you can use it. Otherwise, have the vaccines transferred to the list on I-693. The list is not long, but can take time to complete. (HPV, HepB, HepA take 3 months)

You can take a blood test at your local PCP or Urgent Care Lab to test for many of the vaccines: polio, MMR, Hepb, Hepa, chickenpox, rabies, yellow fever, plus syphilis can all be tested for. The rest cannot be checked reliably. You can even get Urgent care to administer the shots instead of the CS to save cost, just take the I-693 form to your PCP or Urgent care to show what you are looking for. The PCP or Urgent care cannot fill out the form for you to use with USCIS or CS, but it will help aid them and they can fill out based on current knowledge to give you a baseline of what the CS should fill in. I did this unknown to my CS, so when I looked at page 5 vaccination records from the CS, I had a baseline. (I also knew from the Ob/gyn plus urgent Care: TB skin test negative, syphilis negative, and other communicable diseases negative, mental disorders negative.) the full screen is not needed since it is under a year. however, find a CS in my area just doing page 5 was nigh to impossible.

You just have to start vaccination to file. By time of interview (if required), you should have most, if not all, vaccinations completed.

Refusing vaccinations is a right, and can be filed for as well. However, it will affect your ability to be on public Government grounds including Colleges, Universities, and public schools.

None of those you just listed are required for the OP. HPV is no longer a requirement and Hep's are for children.

Best to rely on what Jay-kay posted earlier.

I hope adding your words of "mastery" have provided some insight into your own knowledge on the topic as of today. As with all government forms, including taxes. what was true in 2009 is not true today.... a "master" knows how to learn so an apprentice never has to teach the master..... maybe some self appointed masters need to go back to school....

I just shared my views and thoughts, and results from reading...and how I filed. Not gospel, just current time spell....

whatever Darren. this is becoming ridiculous... on one of the things you posted. I-765 and I-94. here's a hint ©(9). there's no contradiction in the instructions. maybe YOU should go back and read them...

As Vanessa&Tony said, all of those vaccinations you listed are not required. As a matter of fact, most of those are not required. I posted a reply to the question about vaccinations with a link directly from the CDC about vaccinations requirements for AOS: http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/ti/civil/vaccination-civil-technical-instructions.html#tbl1

Tdap/Td: Required if age 7 or older. You would need a booster if you had not had one in the past 10 years.

MMR: Required for those born after 1957

Varicella: Required for ages 1 and over. DS-2035 would be marked with VH if you had the chickenpox and you would not have to receive the vaccine.

Influenza: Required for those 6 months and older, if it is flu season (Oct. - Mar.)

polio vaccine (IPV): Required for age 2 months - 17 years (would be marked not age appropriate)

Meningococcal: Required for those 11 - 18 years (would be marked not age appropriate)

Hepatitis A: Required if you are 12 months - 24 months (would be marked not age appropriate)

Hepatitis B: Required for those that are 18 years or younger (would be marked not age appropriate)

HPV: Not a requirement at all

so am I right or wrong then... Don't just quote a part of what I am saying for your own benefit of proving me wrong that is like being the media, using what is good to support your own theory.... it seems I cannot be both when you say NONE of what I said is required.... then go on to mention SOME of what I said is required...read the whole post and you will notice I mention based on the CS you can find in your area...I should have only had to do part 1 , part2 and page 5, vaccination record. But the CS REQUIRED and DEMANDED to perform the WHOLE exam again even though the instructions on the applications say otherwise. Doctors have egos the size of mountains, a patient arguing with a Doctor is like a 4 year old child arguing with a parent about bedtime. I did not like the CS, or any CS I contacted in the area. But I had been looking for months and just finally gave up in order to get the AOS application filed.

Most girls in the Philippines (please note not all.) will claim to be pregnant, or have had relatively recent "encouters" with their fiancee, or will be asked to return in a month for shots when their leaving the Philippines before the date to come back to St. Luke's is to finish the immunization record. This is where I am speaking form on this.

I challenge this statement. it implies it is true of the majority of female applicants in Manila. care to back it up? why don't you do a poll in the Philippine forum. my guess is, you won't...

I do not understand this little rant. You can make a post with 3 things in it. Two of them can be correct, but one of them wrong. That one part is still wrong, even if you got 2 out of 3 right. Having stated one correct thing will not override everything posted and make everything you said correct. A post sprinkled with some right things and some wrong things is not either entirely right as a whole or wrong as a whole. Very strange way to look at things.

The vaccinations listed above are the ONLY ones required for AOS, period. No blood work or TB tests are required either. And just so you know, you should have had to fill out PAGE 1 and PAGE 5 of the I-693 only. Page 1 contains Part 1, 2 and 3. Page 5 is the vaccination record.

It is best not to post misleading and/or misinformation period. It confuses things. Just look through this thread for example. If I did not know about the AOS forms and procedures yet, this thread would confuse me greatly. This is not a good thing. It is not that helpful to muck up threads with incorrect information and misleading personal experiences, especially when the correct information was already posted for them. We are trying to help people understand what is required and point them in the right direction so their immigration journey goes as smoothly as possible.

This is your issue, reading comprehension.

My post states "None of what you posted are required for the OP". (bolding and underlining added). While 2 of the shots you listed ARE an immigration requirement for certain age groups (i.e. a BABY), HPV is 100% not required and hasn't been required since before I filed AOS in early 2010, and when I did my K1 medical in July 2009 (at that time HPV was required). The OP is not an infant, an INFANT may require the Hep's, but the OP (who is clearly an adult or extremely gifted baby able to post on a forum) does not. Therefore, AGAIN, none of the shots you listed are requirements FOR THE OP which is who you were advising.

since no response, I guess that's a no on the poll...
