Vaccination supplement? Help is needed!

[Jani 0]

As me and my loving honey has got married, we are now gonna file our papers for adjustment of status here in OK.

For that, we have read that I need a vaccination supplement, but not a new medical exam. because I got a total med. exam. in Sweden for my k1 visa before I got to the USA.

So, our big confusion and question is : do I need to go to a doctor here again, to get a vaccination supplement, although I have got all the vaccinations I need? I have a copy from the doctor in Swe who gave me vaccination supplement... Is that all I need?

We would be very happy to hear what you needed to do when you filed your adjustment of status.

You'll get a better answer to this in the AOS forum.

But here's my shot, if you have a copy of the supplement, all you need is to have a Civil Surgeon transfer that information to the new medical form. I'd recommend calling around town, because the price for this varies widely between different doctors!

You are right - you do not need a new medical. What the doctor in Sweden gave you is called the Vaccination Worksheet. What you need to do now is go to a Civil Surgeon (a doctor authorized by USCIS) in the US and show him the vaccination worksheet. He will then transfer the information from the worksheet to the Vaccination Supplement. He has blank vaccination supplement forms in his office. This needs to be done in the US and not outside of the country. You can find a list of Civil Surgeons in your area at the uscis website: www.uscis.gov. Be sure that he does not try to get you to redo the whole medical - many will try to do that - but as a K-1 you do not need a new medical, only the Vaccination Supplement. You may also want to call around and find the best price. Some people had paid as little as $20 and some as much as $100 - each doctor charges a different amount. Good luck with the AOS application.

Oh yeah, I just noticed that I should have posted my question on AOS. Now I did...

Thanks for your help though! It has already given us an idea about what to do next.
