Vaccination supplement - suggestions

[eclowjpd 0]

There seems to be quite a few complaints about civil surgeons and vaccination supplements on VJ.

A couple suggestions:

If you need to get vaccinations in the U.S. check if your health insurance will pay for vaccinations and/or Varicella test. Ours does and we saved $190 that the civil surgeon would have charged us for 2 shots and the Varicella test. We went through our physician and got the results to the civil surgeon. It was a little extra work, but saved a lot of money.

Make sure that when you contact a civil surgeon regarding the vaccination supplement that you are very clear that you only need the supplement completed and not a full medical exam. The civil surgeons office tried to do a medical exam and charge us a lot of money and we had to explain to them repeatedly that only the vaccination supplement was needed, as the medical exam was done in her home country.

Yeah... I called one office and I got the same story. They wanted $300 for the exam and refused to do a I-693A without a full exam. I called another office and got a quote for $76.00, no appointment necessary.

Does anyone have experience or knowledge for K-3/K-4 AOS ? One USCIS rep told me we only need the I-693A because my wife and step-daughter had their physicals recently. Another told me I need to make an Infopass appointment to talk to an immigration officer. (2 to 3 hours drive!). Does anyone know something more accurate than maybe? Thanks!
