Vaccination supplement for K1 visa holder

[alcoy 0]

My wife is a K1 visa holder and she is now applying for her AOS. I understand that since it has been less than a year since her medical exam for the K1 visa, she can submit a vaccination supplement with her application for AOS. However, when she had her medical exam in Bogota, Colombia, she was never given a copy of her DS-3025 showing what vaccinations she had. Now that she has to provide the vaccination supplement with a Civil Surgeon's signature, what does she provide the Civil Surgeon so that he can transfer the vaccination record to the supplement? All that she has is her Colombian vaccination record that was presented to the doctor during her physical for the K1 visa. Will this be sufficient for the Civil Surgeon here in the United States?

Hi- There are lots of posts regarding the infamous vaccination supplement!

For many it is just a matter of luck as to what civil surgeon you find in your area, if they'll transfer the info onto the form without the whole medical and how much they'll charge, some pple have said they paid as little as $10, other more than $100....

So you might need to call around, but it shouldn't be a problem. Take the Colombian vaccination record and print out the instructions for the AOS that state that K1 visa holders don't need a whole other medical, as well as copies of the visa, etc.

Good luck with everything!

ARe you in Miami? If so, I had a hard time finding a civil surgeon that would transfer teh accination supplement without doing the entire medical over again. So, we ended up just doing the whole darn thing over again and paying $175 for it. We wanted to send out the AOS ASAP so we bit it and paid the money. Hope this helps!

Since you don't have the copy of the vaccination sheet from the medical in Colombia, you'll have to do sorology tests to prove she's taken the vaccines, and might even have to take some again, 'cus as far as I've seen, no civil surgeons accept foreign vaccination records are proof of vaccination.

Mine did. I had vaccination records from the UK and Brunei. OK, they were in English, but the Doctor has no problem with them.

We live in Fort Worth, TX. There are four Civil Surgeons in Fort Worth. I'll call them and see if they'll accept the Colombian vaccination record.
